[Today, there's once again a familiar (and formerly missing) face on Cambot's screen. It's a face that's distinctly older looking too, although the overall outfit hasn't changed. He simply doesn't have roll up the anymore to make them fit probably.

After a moment of silence he sighs, and turns to face the camera.]

I suppose I really shouldn't be surprised, should I?

[GAAAAAAAAAAAASP!]

Ienzo?! Ohmygosh, girls, look - we've missed so many birthdays!

[Instantly a small herd of Pinkies surrounds the camera, all in various states of alarm and distress.]

[video]

[wefallinsilence]

[Well, that's certainly an alarming amount of pink ponies mobbing the camera. Ienzo manages to regain his composure in relatively short order though.]

Ah... forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't there usually less of you at one time?

[video]

[sailorlaughter]

Usually! We got superpowers this week - well, Pinkie Prime did! [She grabs another Pinkie, one wearing a party hat, and pulls her up front.]

I'm not Pinkie Prime, silly filly! I just wanted to wear the hat!

[beforethemoon]

[Isa shouldn't be surprised either, but, well, it's really weird to see someone who's younger than you suddenly an adult]

...Ienzo?

[wefallinsilence]

[The same can be said for Ienzo. He's used to Saïx, and to see the Isa-that-was is almost bitterly melancholic.]

It's good to see you again, Isa.

[beforethemoon]

Uh, likewise.

...

How long were you gone? [He has an idea.]

[thirteenth_brat]

No, you shouldn't.

[wefallinsilence]

I suppose not, no. It would have been far too much to hope for.

Regardless, I suppose this is hello again.

[optimistickey]

Ienzo?

Wow, you're uh... [Is older too obvious?] ...Talking a lot more!

[wefallinsilence]

Sora.

[There's a... reasonably polite nod to go along with his greeting.]

As for that, I could hardly stay silent forever, you realize.

[optimistickey]

[Sora rubs at the back of his head. It's all still pretty weird, although he doesn't remember any experiences with Zexion in Castle Oblivion.]

I guess so. I think it just took me by surprise! [That, and the whole suddenly older deal.]

[colorbymemory]

[The change in appearance surprises her for a moment, then she smiles.]

Welcome back, Ienzo.

[wefallinsilence]

Thank you.

[colorbymemory]

You're welcome.

I don't think much has changed since you left, but if you need any help, let me know?

[skysmirror]

[Well, here's a familiar face for more reasons than one. Though, no Organization coat--that must mean he's from about the same time as everyone else who's returned lately.]

I suppose not. It's good to see you back, though.

[wefallinsilence]

[It does seem that way, although Ienzo wouldn't be able to say so for certain.]

I wish I could say it was good to be back.

[beforetheflame]

[... Staaaaaares.... at the video.

...Rubs his chin...

Then snaps his fingers.]

Ah! I get it! You got the power to get older, that's why ya look like an adult right?

[thirteenth_brat]

Please tell me you're kidding, Lea.

[wefallinsilence]

[...Oh, that's a face that's just a little uncomfortable to see again. Not that it stops him from being perfectly polite when he answers, mind.]

I'll be looking like this for the foreseeable future, actually.

[thesilenthero]

I'm not certain whether I should be glad that you're back here or not.

[Aeleus hesitates for a moment.]

I never properly apologized for leaving you here on your own. I am sorry that I couldn't stay, and sorry that I wasn't able to say goodbye.

[wefallinsilence]

I'm not entirely certain myself.

[There's still much to be done, and they can't precisely do it from here.]

As far as unannounced disappearances go, I'd imagine we're even now.

[halfdarkened]

[As Riku looks up, he instantly tenses, eyes narrowed a moment. ...No, there's no Organization coat, that tells him one thing. He still doesn't relax much.]

...Ienzo, right?

[wefallinsilence]

That is correct.

[verygassy]

Wooooooooah!

You grew!

[wefallinsilence]

Yes, I did.
