28th Moon. With three wolves.

[Riku is trotting down the hall with something in his mouth. ...Something dead. It appears to be a bird, maybe waterfoul. He comes up to a door and drops it on the floor in front of it, sitting back on his haunches. He holds his head high, looking happy with himself and starts panting. Riku scratches at the door, but it's cracked open slightly. Sticking his nose in, he sniffs a little, but stops short of pushing it open. He waits.

It's Namine's door.

...And is he... Wagging his rear in lieu of a tail?]

[Riku paused, slowly turning his head so that a wide eye could be seen though his fingers.] You really don't know do you? [He then turned his entire face away, his hand holding the side of his head.] It implies that we... That maybe I tried to... Or that you might... [He fiddles with his collar. Riku just couldn't seem to get it out.]

I... I can't explain it to a girl. Especially not my girl. Ask Aqua or Iron or... Just ask one of the other girls, I can't do this. [He felt bad having to admit this, but no boyfriend should ever have to give their girlfriend "the talk."]

[Well, Namine didn't usually ask for explanations about things she already knew. It's a little frustrating that he can't come out and say what's bothering him about this so much, but he looks genuinely upset, so she doesn't want to press the issue.]

Okay. I'll ask one of the others.

(Last post for Riku?)

Th-thanks. ...If you need me later, I'll probably be on the Rec Deck. I... I need to go. [A little time to sort it all out would be good for him. And then the exercise later to distract him would be welcome.]

(Yeah, I think we're good to finish with this post)

It's okay. I'll probably be on the theatrical deck.

[After she's spoken to one of the others...and given that poor bird laying under her bed a decent burial, now that she thinks about it.]
