[Closed to Castle-mates]
Who: Master Riku and castlemates (whoever is awake at 3am anyways)!
Where: Castle of Departure kitchen
Summary: Riku is pondering on his nightmares. Or well... memories. And drinking tea while not going back to sleep. Good thing it's not a school night?
Warnings: Days Spoilers??? Otherwise, not much.
[It's not that Riku isn't used to waking up from nightmares - far from. He's suffered them occasionally before that night, then almost nightly after Hollow Bastion... and more recently not so much, because that's the advantage of having a bunch of Dream Eaters in your room.
Over the last few months, even his dream eaters haven't been able to do much to keep him from stumbling through troubled dreams - though given how strangely clear, how connected, how familiar those dreams had been, he's quickly realized that they weren't just dream - those were memories.
Memories of Xion.
Memories lost, memories forgotten... now he remembers the process... the way they had slipped from him as he had faced off with Roxas ("Her? You mean Xion? It's a struggle just to remember the name now, isn't it?").
He groans quietly as he sits up in his bed and draws his knees close to lean his forehead against them, feeling comforted when Zorya jumps onto the bed and curls around him, her nose pressing into his side while Highwind lands on his shoulder and nuzzles against his cheek.
He is very glad that he remembers, but...
Oh, he has no idea what he is now supposed to do. Would they slip away again the moment he left this city, like his memories of Promenade had? Or would Xion herself leaving be enough to erase them from his mind again?
And if he can keep them, then what should he do back home? Is there any chance of saving her?
He doesn't know.
He doesn't know if he can keep it from happening, if it does, either.
He rubs the bridge of his nose and sighs quietly before rising off the bed, his hand curling in Zorya's fell for just a moment - a quiet thanks for her presence - and then he quietly makes his way to the kitchen, picking up some book from his desk before he exits his room - he can't see himself falling asleep anytime soon, he might as well spend it more productive(?) than just lying awake and letting dark thoughts swallow him.
A few minutes later, he's turned on the small light in the kitchen and set some water to boil, readying tea-leaves and a mug before sitting down on the small table. Another two minutes later, there is a steaming mug between his hands and Riku has his eyes closed as he released in the warmth against his palm, before he brings his mug up and then moves to start reading.
He might be here for a while.]

They are... memories that I lost due... certain special circumstances and that started to return to me over the past few months.
[In form of those complicated dreams. Hence him asking what Xehanort knows about memories.
He nods solemnly at that question.]
They do and they are a dangerous threat to the worlds.
no subject
Memories that you'd lost... buried in your subconscious. Or your heart, I guess. So that even if you didn't know you had them, they were still there... and eventually they came out into your dreams.
[He ponders a little bit on this, fingers lightly tracing the handle of the tea cup.]
Are they here, too?
no subject
[His memories of Promenade had after all.]
They are.
[Which isn't entirely surprising, really. At least not given that there here Nightmares as well.]
If you've ever seen monsters with entirely black body and yellow eyes, or any that had a symbol similar to- [He summons his Keyblade, lifting up Way to the Dawn's Keychain for Xehanort to see.] -this, that's them.
