I will. It's the only way we can fix things, isn't it? If we don't talk to each other and we don't understand what we're up against and how people think, we're not gonna get anywhere.
[determination! confidence! and also a little bit of arrogance because that's a nice compliment even if he's not entirely sure that's true.]
We'll see. I get why some people won't share what they know, but it's kind of a pain to have to figure it out myself with barely any leads. But anything else I find out I'll let you know.
[While he wants to laugh, he doesn't, and all Sora gets is a bit of amusement. Sora is... so very teenager. Wow. Oh, to be a young lil teen who doesn't have to be more cautious than brave.]
People are being very secretive, yes. They're probably worried now that others are dying. How about I offer you something extra for your hard work?
[sometimes you are a young teen with zero sense of self-preservation. surely this is fine. he's curious about the amusement but figures it's not important enough.
instead, there's a sense of understanding before there's a sudden surge of excitement. really? that easily?]
...really? [he has no idea what team is blanca on because again nobody tells sora shit unless he digs really far.] You'd do that?
[I'm crying, you're not wrong on either account. but he looks a little impatient but mostly because surprises are so suspenseful. he's mostly just glad to be getting somewhere.]
I promise! I...don't know what happens if we tell people other people's teams anyway, so I don't want to take a chance. [ in case the realm decided to kill them or something]
[This gets him to laugh slightly. It's been a long time since he's... felt?? these sorts of emotions, even if they are coming from anyone else. Just because he's, like, older.]
[cute? wow. he just kind of makes a face at that.]
I've found a couple of them. I think I might be able to find some others this week, too. [sora isn't great at always knowing what's going on, but he's pretty good at making connections to get people to trust him and tell him things.] I dunno what'll happen when I find all of them, but maybe it'll help.

I'll tell you my team if you don't already know.

Sure. As long as you can keep a secret.
[The excitement is very cute. Like a puppy. Sora and Ryuji would shake hands.]

I'm with Fox. Surprise.
no subject
That makes sense. Fox is pretty nice even if they're a little quiet. Do you guys get along?
[there's a slight blip of disappointment, but it's mostly bumped out of the way of his contentment with the situation.]
no subject
We get along, yes. They told me they like the sea. I think I may tease them too much, but they don't seem angry.
Did you think I was with someone else...?
no subject
Maybe they're just shy and don't know what to do when you tease them. [sora thinks highly of fox and may be very off-base here but that's okay.]
It's not that. I just thought it'd be kind of cool if we were on the same one.
no subject
[This sounds--pointed? Knowing? Like he's saying it as a stage aside for someone else.]
Have you found anyone else on your team yet?

If anything, you can become a more solid team. Working together could earn you nova.
