Happy birthday to you

[hotheadwarmheart]

Who: Lea and Isa [Closed]
When: April 11th, around lunchtime/early afternoon
Where: Around the city
What: It's Lea's birthday. Friendship and possible shenanigans will ensue.

Lea sighed. He honestly wouldn't have thought that it was possible to make magic this boring, but it seemed the teachers of both his morning classes were determined to make it such. Both of them had spent their classes lecturing on various points of magical theory that Lea found drier than the chalk used to write them on the board, and as a result he'd spent a good portion of the classes just attempting to not fall asleep.

"Seriously, why do I need to know this stuff?", Lea muttered to no one in particular as he walked. "Just tell me what I need to do to cast the stupid spell; is that so hard? Long as it works, what's it matter how or why?"

All in all he could really use a break. Fortunately, the universe was about o provide one...

"I see."

Isa can't help but give Lea a somewhat scrutinizing look, but he also didn't really have it in his heart to tell Lea that he and Ienzo did more to get Roxas back without Keyblades than Lea managed to with one.

"... Tell me, what would you have done if I had been in the lab when you woke up."

Isa was keeping his tone of voice carefully controlled, which, if you knew him well enough, was a good sign that there was more on his mind that he wanted to let on.

Deep down, Lea knew that Ienzo and those working in the lab would likely have far more directly to do with getting Roxas back than he would, Keyblade or no. But Lea also knew that when it came to the scientific end of things, he was out of his league. Fighting though? Fighting he could do. He could step up and take a place among the Guardians of Light so that those working behind the scenes had less to worry about. And if that was all he could do to help? You could bet he was going to give it everything he had.

At Isa's question though, he made a thoughtful noise, considering for a moment before replying. "Don't know, honestly," he finally said. "Would depend on a lot of things, including how out of it we both were after waking up. I know I was a little dazed when I first came around, and it took Even and Dilan a good amount of time to recover."

"But once we were both back on our feet, I'd have probably wanted to talk. To try and figure out what the heck had happened between us, how much of it had actually been you and not Xemnas pulling the strings, and if we could manage to fix it."

"...I really am sorry I wasn't there that day. Believe me, I wanted nothing more than to be at your side again."

But Xehanort had other plans.

Still, dwelling on what could have been wasn't really going to get them anywhere. That was all in the past, and what mattered now was that they were together again, and had the chance to make up for all that lost time.

"Wasn't your fault Xehanort showed up when he did," Lea said. "And you found a way back here anyway. I'm sure you will back home too."

Meanwhile, Lea had been keeping an eye out for potential lunch spots as they walked, and spotted a little cafe off to the right. "Hey, how about we try here?", he said. "Looks pretty nice, and judging by the specials on the sign there, not too pricey."

Isa looks at the menus posted outside and nods.

"We can try here if you want, the menu looks pretty good."

With that settled, Lea led the way inside, sitting down at a table for two, as he didn't see any signs telling them to wait to be seated. It wasn't long before a waitress approached and greeted them, handing them each a full menu and asking if they'd like anything to drink to start with. Lea made a quick scan of the beverage options. "I'll have some cinnamon tea, I think," he said.

The waitress noted this down, then turned to Isa, waiting for his selection.
