[ It's easier for Ikki not to feel the need to cry. She wasn't the one who got left behind, after all. ...At least, not to her knowledge. ] Ventus said I wasn't gone long, and that some people don't remember when they go away - 'cept I knew that a bit 'cause you said - but I dunno, it's weird. [ Vague gestures with her hands, like that will suddenly explain things, although mostly Ikki just doesn't worry about things like details. ]

I'll be glad to see him, anyway. Has he eaten recently?
