If you're not a stick in the mud, then what are you? You haven't got the shining armor to be a heroic knight, and you don't have the white horse to be a dashing Prince Charming. You'd have to use your own two arms if you wanted to carry someone off into the sunset.

[Axel takes a step forward as Riku takes a step back--a smaller one, true, to leave Riku some more space, but he's not going to let him loose just yet. They've only just started talking, after all!]

I don't know, you seem like the sort to like the beach, to me. We could watch the sunset and eat ice cream, maybe go swimming--it'd be just like old times with your friends, right?

[It's really a shame that Riku seems so disenchanted with this game already. Isn't he the one who started it, after all? Who asked to keep playing? And he wonders why Axel is calling him a spoilsport.....]
