Mm-hmm. He's made it clear that he won't allow any harm to befall Roxas while he still stands. I doubt he'll be any different in that regard while corrupted.

[unfriendliest]

If anything, he'll be more stubborn.

[nonbelligerent]

[ha...]

That's a little terrifying to think about.

[unfriendliest]

He is terrifying, if you know him long enough. Defeating him won't be easy, even with the two of us.

[nonbelligerent]

It wouldn't be the first time I've had to face a terrifying opponent. I'll keep that in mind.

[unfriendliest]

Good.

[ he hesitates before continuing, because it really isn't fair to ask this of shess, but... ]

If we really have to do this, and he breaks me. .. will you keep Tsuru and I safe, if you can?

[nonbelligerent]

[he looks a little surprised—because the weight of what kara's asking isn't lost on him—before he smiles, somber.]

Of course.

[ he closes his eyes, unsure of how to express the gratefulness he feels. ]

I left his sword at the house - the corner furthest from the door.

...Thank you.

[ it isn't quite enough, but. it's all he knows to offer. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[given how it went the last time kara thanked him for something like this, he just smiles, though not without some seriousness.]

Let's just do our best this coming week.

[unfriendliest]

[ nod ]

We will. We'll have to, if we're going to do this right.
