[Somewhere along the way, Radiant Garden had become their home away from home. Sora tried to stay away from Destiny Islands, if only because he didn't want to lead anymore darkness there than necessary. Not to say that he liked leading the darkness anywhere but Radiant Garden was as safe as it could get, all things considered. The heartless had been driven away--for the most part--and the keyhole was locked. The heart of the world was safe.
So Sora, more often than not, tended to spend his downtime there. And, in turn, he tended to drag Riku along for the ride.
That was the case this time around, their Mark of Mastery exam done and his visit to the Dream World over. He was still determined to eventually pass the exam as well but, right now? Right now Sora needed a break. Some time to get his head on straight and..some time with one of his best friends.
Which is why he's currently curled up in the library of the castle with a few blankets and Riku, flipping through some books he'd found--nothing to do with Heartless, for once. Right now was about just being them.]
I think I remember my mom telling me this story before. [A small smile is on Sora's lips as he leans back against Riku's chest, holding the book open for the other to see the picture--a girl turning into a swan.]
