Destiny Challenge: 8. The Best Friend

Rules: 200 words, one character


He looks at the trio, sometimes, when the workday begins and all gather in the Grey Room to receive their daily assignments. He watches how they speak and act towards one another. He doesn't know where they spend their free time, if they have any, after missions, but he knows they always return to the castle late. Other members have taken notice of their absences as well.

It is a daily ritual, or so he heard from Demyx, that the three run off to some world and do foolish things after missions. The sitar player mostly mumbled a half-hearted account alongside a vague reason why the commons area had better acoustics anyway. Regardless of Demyx's faux feelings over their daily excursions, Luxord presumed the boy's info to be at least partially true. It was one of the few things he had legitimate skill in, after all.

He wondered sometimes what having constant companions would be like, and how it would feel. It was a pointless endeavor, for those without hearts, to engage in activities requiring emotions. Yet he wondered all the same how such companionship would feel.

He wondered if circumstances were different, if he would like having best friends.
