[there's a sympathetic look sent draco's way.]

Talk about bad luck.

[out of one hell and into another. if anything else, riku can relate. he'd just gotten done being dragged into an evil scheme and ended up here shortly after. ceres really seems to have the worst timing about when they pull people in.]

That doesn't seem to have changed much, but jewel pirate ghost is a hard thing to forget so maybe you'll luck out.

[roxas never mentioned ghost pirates to him, but they weren't exactly in a chatty mood either of the times they met up. chances are, the last person he'd share tales of the high seas with is riku, anyway. after a brief pause, a question follows that up.]

It sounds like you two were close.
