Well, it would probably be best if it was small... Oh, oh, I really like those rainbow colored gummy worms! But they probably wouldn't have those in the cafeteria.

[lockandkeyblade]

Don't underestimate me! [He grins at her.] If it's rainbow gummies you want, then that's what you're gonna get. If they don't have em' downstairs, I bet I could head down to the supermarket or something.

I wonder how big a bag I could sneak in.

[motioned]

Are you sure you're okay with going? If it's too far, you don't have to. Oh, or if they're expensive!

[lockandkeyblade]

No trouble at all!

[A slight pause.] But you gotta do me a favor too...

[motioned]

A favor? Sure! Um, but what is it?

[lockandkeyblade]

Take care of yourself, okay? No tiring yourself out, or not telling the nurses when you feel really bad, or trying to sneak out or anything...

Got it?

[motioned]

Oh... Of course not! I mean, I'd probably get stuck in here longer and make everybody worry like that. Anyways, I'm not sneaky enough to get out without them noti—

[She cuts off abruptly to sneeze several times in succession.]

Without them noticing.

[lockandkeyblade]

You worry enough over everybody else. It's our turn to worry about you.

Just promise you'll do your best to get better. [That's a little weird applying it to this sickness, but he does it just the same. It's really, really hard seeing friends like this, but even harder when they're gone.]

[motioned]

But that's because the stuff that happens to them is really worrying! And I'll be fine, so... I promise.

[She does her best to smile, even letting herself laugh as she sits up somewhat.]

So how about those gummy worms?

[lockandkeyblade]

[And then as he stands, he does smile, bright and relieved. That's all he needs to hear. Ahiru can't predict how her sickness is going to go, but promises are serious business and sometimes they make all the difference.]

I'll be back in a flash, okay? Then when those nurses aren't creeping around we can pull out the gummies.

[motioned]

[She shakes her head.]

Don't try to rush too much! You might get tired and then sick. So, I'm okay with waiting a while.

[lockandkeyblade]

Don't worry! I'll see you again soon!

[Sora runs out of the room with that lingering smile. Searching the cafeteria proves fruitless, but about a block down, Sora finds just what he's looking for. By the time he returns, it's obviously he's totally up to something as he waves at every nurse who passes by. By the time he gets back to Ahiru's room, he closes the door behind him and jogs over to Ahiru's bed with a big bag of something obviously stuffed in his jacket. Hopefully she's still awake.]

[motioned]

[She nearly dozes off before he returns, but about a minute prior to his arrival, another coughing fit leaves her awake once again, hoping she hadn't stirred Roxas. When he comes through the door, she smiles again.]

Welcome back!

[lockandkeyblade]

[It's always a little scary to see those fits, but Sora reminds himself that Ahiru's always been a fighter, especially if her friends are depending on her. She's got a strong heart, and if she makes a promise, she'll keep it.

He grins in reply as if he thinks someone else will hear, and scurries over to the side of Ahiru's bed. Once he unzips his jacket and pulls out the bag! Assorted candies including but not limited to multicolored gummi bears and worms]

Ta-dah!

[motioned]

[She blinks, surprised, before the grin grows wider.]

Oh, wow, you didn't have to get these all for me! Maybe I'll share with Roxas when he wakes up. You should have some too!

[lockandkeyblade]

Thanks! Hopefully Roxas likes these too.

[He reaches and takes a couple into his hand before sitting cross legged in the chair beside her bed.]

And if the nurses catch you? Just gimme a call and I'll sneak another bag in.

[motioned]

Oh, no, don't worry about that! I mean, I'm sure you're busy, and you shouldn't have to spend any more on me. I can probably ask Dad to pay you back for these.

[lockandkeyblade]

[Oh, he's just about to tell her its fine, but one part steals his interest.]

Dad?

[He didn't know her father was here in the Port.]

[motioned]

Huh? Oh, um, we're not related by blood or anything. He's just my legal guardian.

[lockandkeyblade]

I've never met your dad before.

What's his name?

[motioned]

His name's Gilbert Nightray. He's a really good person. He brought me here and everything.

[lockandkeyblade]

Is he from your world or...?

[motioned]

No, we met while I was here. I don't have anyone related to me by blood or anything, but we're really close.

[lockandkeyblade]

Sounds like it. Think maybe I could meet em' one day?

He must be really good at keeping you out of trouble.

[motioned]

Sure! I bet he would like that.

Mhm. He's a really amazing person.
