a day's rest and retreat ; twilight town

Our scene is set in the World That Never Was, sometime in the morning. Or at least, what passes well enough for morning - it's not as if the lighting changes, but it is sometime after people wake up, at least.

The specific setting for this venture is in Namine's Tower, where a dark path is opening. Out of this steps Riku. Today is the day that Riku and Namine have planned to take a trip to another world, and he wanted to come as early as possible. Partially in case they run into any problems, and -- well. Partially because he would just like to spend as much time with her as possible.

He has prepared for the occasion, and this fact is obvious from one glance at him. Riku has taken the trouble to ditch his usual outfit, and get ahold of something nicer. Hanging around Hollow Bastion for a few hours can prove to be a beneficial venture. It earned him some nice slacks, and a white dress shirt. His hair is pulled back into a simple ponytail.

That is not all the preperation he has done. His left hand is hiding somethng behind his back - but what could it possibly be?

"Namine?" he asks, his voice a little hesitant and soft.

"That sounds good to me," Riku says, and holds onto her hand once more. "There's still a lot of territory to cover."

"Yes, there is."

She lets him lead her once more, out of the alleyway and back into the main road of the town. She wishes this day could last forever because she isn't looking forward to when it ends.

But whatever the case, she'll remember it forever; it will be etched in her mind until the end of her lifetime.

As he tugs her along, she watches him carefully, studying every part of him once more. Her drawing of Riku, wherever they plan to go, will be perfect. She's never had a more perfect idea or a perfect subject than him.
