[Roxas tries to keep up, listening and nodding and waiting for moment to answer a question or ask one of his own or get in any kind of word edgewise, but he just keeps going and going and going and finally all he can say is—]

What?

[laozu]

[ what do you mean you can't follow along with his babble ]

You're a good young man, is what I mean to say. I'm glad to have met you and happy you came to live with us - whatever your origins.

[ he touches a hand to his own chest and says: ] This isn't my original body. A young man named Mo Xuanyu gave his life to give me a second chance. I mean to say that I understand what it can mean, to have been born from an atypical source.

[Roxas is quiet for another few moments, unsure what to say again—but for a different reason this time. No one's ever said anything like that to him before. And the rest...that's a little too close to the familiar.]

That's kind of...cool? That you get it. I don't think a lot of people would.

[laozu]

I won't promise I understand it perfectly, but I feel it in my heart that I can sympathize.

[ and then he reaches out and lays hand to roxas's face, giving those round cheeks a little squish. one more thing that's bizarre about him; that desire to touch others who haven't outright slapped him down. he pushes them in gently, and then pulls his hands away with a bright smile. ]

Welcome home, Roxas!

[It takes him a second, but then he smiles, too. He's never had a home before. Or rather...he has, but no one's been able to welcome him back to it.]

Thanks. It's good to be here.
