Y-yeah...

[Sora blushes in earnest, holding the oars a bit higher now that Kairi is in his lap. He can only imagine how much Riku or the others would tease him if they saw him right now, but he casts that out of his mind to continue rowing. As long as Kairi feels comfortable, that's the most important thing.]

Wish I could just magic away the sickness for you, but I guess that'd be too easy, huh?

[heartslight]

[ She inhales a bit deeply, slowly, before exhaling in a sigh of relief. This really is a lot more comfortable than before. So she closes her eyes while she talks to him — it helps the dizziness and the headache a little. ]

I guess even Keyblade Wielders have to deal with sickness sometimes. [ As strong as they seem. ] So don't go catching this, too, got it?

[oath]

I got it. You can keep your Kairi germs to yourself.

[He grins widely, and he's sure she can hear it in his voice, even if she has her eyes closed. Maybe it's a little mean to tease her when she's sick, but he can't help it.]

[heartslight]

[ She laughs a little in response to that — it's a somewhat weak laugh but it's there!!

And she gently pats him on the leg with the hand that's there — it's meant to be a teasing hit but it's more like a weak pat. She'd bop him on the head if she could. ]

My Kairi germs don't wanna get on you anyway.

[ There's an equally joking tone to her voice, as well. ]

[oath]

Gross, they're already on me! Get me off this boat!

[He makes as if to jerk away from her as she pats him, but he doesn't actually move. He doesn't want her to feel sicker than she actually is, just make her laugh.]

[heartslight]

[ Well, it works — she laughs further. ]

I didn't know you were such a scaredy cat, Sora!

[ He's like a kid afraid of cooties right now! ]

[oath]

Am not!

[He tries to pretend to sulk, but it doesn't work, he's laughing too much. The banter does make the journey go quicker, at least, and before long he's slowing the boat to a stop at a small dock on the main island.]

Alright, we're here. You still holding up okay?

[heartslight]

[ She laughs at his sulk laughing and she's happy to hear they've arrived. She can feel the boat's movements slowing and moving to reach a dock, and she opens her eyes a few moments later, using the hand that's already near her face to shield her eyes for a few moments as she adjusts to the light again.

And then she moves her head to peer up at him, smiling. ]

Yeah. [ Thanks to him. ] You were more comfortable than I thought you'd be. [ Still with that joking tone. She's having fun joking with him, okay. And it helps distract her from how awful her body feels. She's not super looking forward to sitting up and walking to the house, even though the house'll be comfortable to be in once she gets there. ]

[oath]

What's that supposed to mean? Do I look like I'm made of rocks?

[He pretends to look offended, setting down the oars and tying up the boat while he gives Kairi time to recover a little from the trip. Then he'll move to support her so she can sit up.]

You think you can make the walk home?

[heartslight]

You know, sometimes I can't tell.

[ Still joking. She means he might have rocks in his head. Which could mean they're elsewhere as well! But moving on, she sits up once he's supporting her, slowly because she knows if she goes too fast she'll end up feeling dizzy. She shuts her eyes for a moment once she's up, to prevent her vision going weird.

And then she smiles and looks toward him. ]

I think so. I'll try to.

[ She doesn't want to make him have to carry her or something. ]

[oath]

All right. If you feel too funny to keep going, tell me. Don't push yourself.

[He really isn't against carrying her, but he also doesn't want to embarrass her or anything by offering when it might be overkill. He gets out of the boat first, and offers her a hand up and onto the dock.]

[heartslight]

[ She gives a nod. ]

Don't worry, I'll tell you. You already won that argument.

[ She knows she can count on him anyway, and she doesn't feel too embarrassed to admit her current weakness anymore, considering she's already shown how much it's affecting her, oops ... She gave in already with being too stubborn, he knows she's sick, it's over.

So she takes his hand, carefully standing, wobbling slightly, and then trying to step up onto the deck and being very grateful that he's holding her hand because here she goes, stumbling forward. Getting off a wobbly boat is hard when you're sick. ]

Ah —
