[For a long moment, all he can do is stare at Riku with uncomfortable intensity. He's already heard from Sora that the sleepers' timelines don't always match up upon awakening, which makes as much sense as anything else here. (That is, not much.) Hearing that Riku is so far off track is another thing entirely.
Roxas' gaze sweeps over him, bangs to toes. Sure, Riku looks about like he remmembers, minus the part where he'd gone all tall, dark and creepy, but he hadn't expected anything different. How much could a guy change in two years? But if he's saying it, it must be true. Even if he wanted to lie to Roxas, Sora is whole other story.]
Wow. [He rocks back on his heels a little, hands flexing into fists and straightening again.] Well, you intercepted me just fine. But you lost the fight, until you weren't you anymore.
[His memories of those final moments are more sensation than anything else—surprise, pain and a desperate desire to breathe until everything went black.]
I guess you already know that, though. [Just barely, his shoulders shoulders slump as he forces himself to relax.] And it was a long time ago. Maybe a year.
