…I don't think I have enough control over Fire to end up with anything but singed socks.

[He's a combat specialist, you don't need that kind of control for battle spells.]

Well, you said to call. And you more than deserved one considering how I talked your ear off back in De Chima.

[Even if that hadn't been under his control, really. Though, that last comment? That really throws him.]

Uh, you don't have to thank me for that, but… you're… welcome?

[He guesses??? Like, really he's just himself, he's treating her like he would every other person – like people deserve to be treated because Riku is very aware of what being a jerk is like and looking back he really doesn't like that he had been one way back when.

So yea. Uhm. He's really just being a friend.]

Ha.

[it's a small, puffed little breath of a laugh. she's already re-listening to this in hindsight and it's...gods. if only she could write the scenes of her life before living them.]

I mean...I did say that, yeah? Gods. I don't think in a hundred thousand years I would've if my mouth wasn't already running miles ahead of me.

[But if she always knew what she'd say beforehand, wouldn't life be boring? Riku'd think so – even if it means risking having his mouth run away from him every now and then.]

Well, I'm glad that you did. I enjoy talking with you.

Oh. [brhtghthfffffff blessed faceless telephone. steam may as well start spouting from her ears for how flushed that compliment gets her!] We-well, thank you. That's...very kind to say. I suppose we...ought to speak again soon then? If that's the case.

[dreamprotector]

[Look, as far as Riku is concerned these are just facts – if he knew that they made her blush he'd probably take more care about telling her.]

I'd like that. Hear you soon!
