I'm Mary.

[ THERE, that wasn't so hard! It just took them all of fifteen minutes and some awkward hugs and kisses, but all is well now. ]

[coexistent]

It's nice to meet you then, Mary.

[he smiles a little, a friendly enough gesture after... well, everything that just happened.]

[immobileyes]

Mm, you too! It's hard to be friends without introductions.

[ Or without them finding you in a forest and throwing a hoodie on top of you and introducing you to mp3 players. ]

[coexistent]

Friends? So... this makes us friends now?

[it's more curious than skeptical—he doesn't exactly have a lot of friends. axel called the shots back then, and it was different with xion.]

[immobileyes]

... I-if you want to be? You've been really nice to me, and you don't seem bad...

[coexistent]

[he nods a little. she doesn't seem like a bad person to him. and it's not like having another friend is bad; it doesn't change who his best friends are, even if he's never had both at the same time.]

I didn't realize it was that easy. Sure, we can be friends. [it's not like he'll be putting all of his trust in her—probably not even much at all just yet, but having someone on his side would be a good thing when he expected to be alone entirely.]

[immobileyes]

It's harder, I think, when you haven't already been hugged...

[ Well, yes. They skipped a few steps there. ]

[coexistent]

I guess. I don't really know much about that stuff, though.

[at least he's honest.]

[immobileyes]

...? You don't... know about hugs?

[coexistent]

Not really... Is it something I should know about?

[immobileyes]

W-well-- probably? Families hug you, and friends hug you... it's what you do to help them feel better, or if you need to feel better, or if you're happy to see them!

[coexistent]

My friends never hugged me before.. not that I can remember. Huh. [he pauses to consider this. it's really a new concept. maybe they just didn't hug because they were nobodies, and it wouldn't mean much?]

[immobileyes]

Maybe they didn't know about hugs, either? But hugs are important, too.

[ Unless you were Kido, and if anyone (Kano) tried to hug you, you'd punch them. Or if you were Kano, and hugging usually meant the other party would regret it somehow... ]

[coexistent]

Yeah, I guess they wouldn't have known.

[well, xion wouldn't. axel may have, but he definitely never mentioned anything like it.]

I didn't know it was that important, though.

[immobileyes]

It's okay. You know now.

[ NOD. She's helped educate him! ]

[coexistent]

[she's done the world a service. probably. maybe. or maybe not, it's a mystery.]

It's something I'll have to remember. I'm not really sure when I'll actually need it, though... [thinking about hugging his friends is weird. he can already imagine axel saying something about it, too.]

[immobileyes]

You'll know. It'll just be an urge, only it won't be because someone put a needle in you.

[ So, much safer. ]

[coexistent]

Okay... I think I know what you mean.

[kind of. sorta.]

[immobileyes]

I don't think you'll have to think about it until later, anyway... we still have to get out of here.

[coexistent]

Right.

[she's definitely right about that, they're not getting anywhere just standing around like this.]

If you're feeling okay, then we should start moving again, I guess.

[immobileyes]

Yeah! I feel a lot better.

[ But yeah, she's eager to book it. ]

[coexistent]

That's good...

[her panic before was worrisome, but it seems like the kiss thing solved it. so. good? yes, good.]

Let's go then, before any of those nurses show up.
