[Sora has so many memories of this place. But even if that's true, there's always room for more memories. He doesn't mind being here with Basil, at all. In fact...]

I think getting the chance to share this place with you makes it that much better.

[He smiles warmly.]

Do you wanna try collecting some seashells together?

Y... Yeah, I'd really like that.

( The words leave him before he realizes it. It sounds like such a peaceful, relaxing thing to share. With the sun setting on the beach, how could someone not feel some peace? )

At least, for a little while. It looks like it'll be getting dark soon.

[Sora chuckles.]

Yeah! Let's try and grab some before it gets too dark!

[So, out onto the beachy sand they go. The sun is still warm enough to keep the sand warm, but it is getting a little cooler out! But, Sora tucks right in, picking out a few select pink and blue shells that he finds first.]

( Basil walks beside Sora, picking out a few shells with different colors. He's almost careful with what he chooses, picking up any shells that don't seem to be broken.

But, as the sun begins to set, the breeze from the beach only becomes all the more chilly. He can't help but shiver a bit. Still, he speaks after a while. )

They're really pretty... Are we going to do anything with these after?

[Sora notices that it's getting darker already... He really didn't realize how fast the time went by. He should finish walking Basil home soon.]

Kairi used to help us make bracelets with them, once. We could try to do that?

[He gives a small chuckle and stands up, putting his shells carefully in his pocket.]

Maybe we can do that next time we hang out, though. We should be heading home, right?

( Basil looks to him curiously for a moment. He isn't so sure if he'd be able to really do something like that, if only because he's never done it, and yet... A part of him wants to at least try. Sora makes him feel like he wants to.

He looks to the sky then. It's getting dark... He holds his shells before tucking them into his school bag as carefully as he can. )

A... Ah, yeah-- you're right.

It probably sounds a little strange, but... it feels like it got dark pretty quickly.

[Sora glances up at the sky.]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe a storm's rolling in. We better get going!

[He nods quickly, tucking away his own shells before nodding to Basil. He takes the lead back towards the boardwalk and sidewalk.]

Let's get you home before it starts raining or something, Basil!

[Sora's going to walk him all the way home, rain or shine.]

Hahah, it feels a little like I should walk you home... You've done a lot for me today.

( But regardless, he's tagging along!! He appreciates Sora doing this much for him. The dark can be a bit nerve-wracking. )
