Someone is... at least a little civilized... maybe

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas is in his room, lounging on the bed and bouncing a tennis ball off the wall, catching on the rebound and tossing it again. He looks annoyed, though there's no way to tell why he's annoyed.

He seems to be taking to the civilized life better than everyone else, though. It's entirely possible that mama wolf explained to him that he's not actually a wolf and that when/if others of his kind found him, he would do better to learn their ways. Who knows? When he notices Cambot, he catches the ball and holds it.

After a pause, he makes a shooing gesture. Cambot pans side to side. That's a no. Roxas makes a noise that sounds distinctly like a growl. He's not completely civilized, it seems. At no point does he speak. When Cambot still doesn't take the hint, Roxas tosses the tennis ball at him.

Oh, that's a cracked lens. Roxas leaves the room, upright and surprisingly comfortable with it. Maybe mama wolf was familiar enough humans to make sure human puppy was moving the way he should?]

Why am I developing an AU head canon for this? o_O

[Somewhere in the back of his mind, Roxas feels that this whole affair is even more ridiculous than it actually is. To his knowledge, they were all raised by wolves and as far as he could tell they'd all been found at the same time, more or less. Why was he the only one adapting readily to civilized life? Unless... right, this place is weird. As for just walking on two legs, he always has, as far as he can remember. Maybe he was already doing so when the wolves took him in. Mama wolf thought she was adopting a monkey and he's actually pretty good at climbing trees. He can't really answer Riku's question, but maybe if Riku asks nicely (and doesn't beg while he's eating whatever the synthesizer's going to give him this time), Roxas will try to help him learn to do it.

Or he could just go get the tennis ball and see if that won't keep Riku busy for a while. If Xion already has it all bets are off, but he turns around and heads back to his room anyway.]

I dunno? O.o

[Riku cocks his head as Roxas turns back. Did he forget something? He follows along, still rearing in an attempt to walk erect from time to time. He gives a little whine as if to ask where he was going, but was otherwise silent.]

I blame this event |D

[thirteenth_brat]

[No, he hasn't forgotten anything. He's just... pondering the possibility that the ball will keep Riku busy for while. Or maybe it could be used to coax him into walking properly upright. Who knows?

The ball is wherever he left it, which is wherever it bounced to after he chucked it at Cambot. Turns out it rolled under the bed. He retrieves it and holds it up.]

[Riku looks up at the ball and waits a second. His back half is shaking slightly much as a Corgi's body does when it has a docked tail. He then tries to stand, trying to paw at it with curled fingers.]
