[Sora's been missing for a bit by now. So of course when he comes back he wants to try reassure everyone. So he shifts in operating his bracelet, looking almost sheepish, in his nerves even as he wants to reassure them. Was it.....really going to be reassuring if he goes into things that happened back home? Perhaps he should just talk to Riku, to Namine about it. That seems best. So he tries for a smile and wave, still looking a bit sheepish in feeling bad on possibly worrying them all.]

Hey. I uh. Went home for a bit. So...sorry if I worried everyone. I'm back now! I just figured I should let everyone know. It....a lot happened? But things worked out. [Mostly. That is.] What'd I miss, anyway? I don't think anything major happened since I was back home but. Can't hurt to check? Oh, right! And I'm gonna be helping out with Heimdall! I mean, you know, like a guard. Sentry. Whatever you call it!

[Yup. He sure is just.....gonna try just gloss over Exactly What Happened back home. Unless someone specifically asks. He's mostly figuring talking about it with Riku and Kairi. And trying not to think on the irony of what happened to him in regards to a recent conversation with Turgon.]

So I'll be seeing some of you others helping out with that too! And I'm definitely gonna keep training! So if anyone wants to spar, let me know!

[Hey, bud. He doesn't know you. But he is working with Heimdall, so...]

hand to hand?

[keybearing]

I'm more used to weapons. A wooden sword. Or Keyblades. But I guess hand to hand could be useful too. For me to learn.

[He could be disarmed. Or not currently have his weapon available, depending. It's something he might need to look at working on.]

[trafficreport]

[...no idea what a keyblade is. Presumably, it's a blade of some kind.]

can use weapons too.

[Jet's not great at close quarters in general, weapons or not, so he'd like to...you know. Learn.]

[keybearing]

Alright then. We could figure something. Start with some basics? What weapons do you use?

[trafficreport]

mostly rayguns.

[Hence why he's...not so good with other weapons. Helluva shot, though.]

voice;

[splitinvain]

You went home. How? Or rather, what did it feel like to go home?

[madcuriosity]

You went home and came back? People are able to do that?

Are you alright, Sora?

[keybearing]

Rayguns? I dunno about ray guns but my Keyblade back home could transform into these two guns. Can't do that here, so I've been using it more like a standard sword I guess. But I could still try help somehow.

voice;

[keybearing]

I don't know how exactly. It wasn't something I expected or chose to do? It just...happened? A lot happened back home, actually. I'm still kinda processing it a bit.

[There's a lot of emotions about it all. So it isn't so easy to say how he feels.]

[keybearing]

Yeah, I guess.

And uh, I'm.....still figuring it all. A lot happened back home.

[Physically, here? He's fine though at least.]

[trafficreport]

[All right, so it is a sword. Probably? That sounds a hell of a lot cooler than anything here.]

sword's fine.
need to get better with them.

[He's best at long range.]

[keybearing]

Alright then. We can start with wooden ones if that's easier.

[Less chance of them getting hurt. Sora could always use his new ability to keep the other from getting injured, taking that injury to himself but still.]

[trafficreport]

sure.
you a teacher?

[keybearing]

I haven't really taught anyone to fight before but. I've been doing it most of my life with sparring with Riku so I guess I could try?

[trafficreport]

[No idea who Riku is. Whoever...that is.]

fine.
can start with sparring.

[keybearing]

Alright. Just lemme know when and where you want to meet for it.

[trafficreport]

anytime's good.

[He's not busy. He's not even strictly speaking living anywhere.]

when's good for you.

[keybearing]

Alright. I'll message you and let you know a bit later then! I guess this can count with helping out with my new job helping Heimdall!

[trafficreport]

mine too.

[Heyy, fellow sentinel.]

[keybearing]

Yeah? Then we definitely gotta train together!

[hi new sentinel bff.]

[trafficreport]

good to get to know the fellow guard.

Sora?! ( Riku's expression is a mix of worry, relief and happiness as soon as he sees his friend, even if it's just on a video. )

Have you really been home? How did you even came back?! Or why... I mean, I'm glad to know where are you right now, I've been worried sick since I couldn't find you and- ( Tell him it would be the very first time he didn't know where Sora was? Nope. He sighs, calming down. ) Welcome back.

[keybearing]

Riku! I -- y-yeah, I did. I'm just in my room at Heimdall housing if you wanted to come see me and I can catch you up a bit?

[And Namine of course. He's....less sure on going into detail about it all, publicly over the bracelets like this. But of course he wants to hug Riku and tell him about it all. Especially when he is aware that the other knows how guilty he had felt over not being able to figure saving the others yet back home then.]

[ragnarsson]

I was beginning to wonder where you were. You're usually so social I thought withdrawing from all seemed out of character for you.

[keybearing]

Yeah! I mean, Riku joined too but, some others I might not have met or know as well yet. So it's good to get to know each other. Better to work together and help out if we get to know each other, get more comfortable.
