[ the realization that Sophia has acquired a bracelet happens rather swiftly, if only because Sophia has a bracelet of her own. And now suddenly both wrists are sporting one, but the gem on the one on her left is swirling slightly. Out of curiosity, she brushes her fingers over it--
And yelps a little as that worry and confusion seep into her. The confusion is understandable, but now it's doubled, and... worry? Why is she worried? What does she have to be worried about? As an AI, she's come to process and understand the emotion a little more for the sake of other people, but she's also always tried to grasp the source of it.
For now, no one else seems to be around, and especially not someone looking for a missing bracelet. The color of the gemstone swirls. The more time that passes, the heavier the worry shifting through becomes. It overtakes the confusion and just exists as a ball of tense, firm anxiety.
Along the top of the gem is a hairline fracture... That's nice. For as much crap as he gives Sora, someone could stand to take a little more care of his belongings. (Not that he was aware hurting it meant hurting himself.]
Sophia frowns down at it, cradling her wrist closer to her body and lifts her head, searching the immediate area quickly. No one looks anxious, but whoever this belongs to, they're very clearly worried. Probably about this.
Well, there's one way to make herself known, isn't there?
She pauses only briefly, then rises up on her toes, raising her voice. ]
[HELP. She's so valid for yelling out to find the missing bracelet's owner. Like before, no one really appears at first, not anyone who seems to be hunting something they've lost.
And then, slowly, Riku appears, walking with a strange but steady gait. One hand is pressed against the leather over one of his sides. His brows are pinched, and both eyes are scouring the ground back and forth. When he glances up to check everyone else, he starts slightly with recognition at Sophia.
Sophia, by this point, is rapidly scanning the area, since no one immediately responds. So then maybe she needs to find someone looking anxious. Maybe she needs to start walking while repeating her query. Maybe--
But then there's Riku, and at the exact moment that she realizes something's Slightly Off about him, he looks up and it clicks. ]
Riku!!!
[ Incoming AI, thankfully not slamming into him because actually maybe he's... is he hurt? She sways to a stop in front of him, sleeves flapping dramatically. ]
Did you lose something? Do you need assistance? I can assist!!
[This is the most expected thing out of Sophia, he thinks. Being raced at and then offered copious amounts of assistance. He uses his other, free hand to try to placate her a little.]
Hold on.
[Slow down, Sora 2.0. Give him a second.]
I had a bracelet, but it disappeared. I'm looking for it. Have you seen it? It has a blue gem.
[ Wow rude, her hair is nowhere near as Powerfully Spiky as Sora's?? ]
A--yes! I have it!
[ She is still practically vibrating from being told to "hold on", which is like "stand still", so it's with Utter Enthusiasm that Sophia extends her wrist with Riku's bracelet there! Or at least now she has to assume it is is. How many other people have lost bracelets with blue gems? ]
This is a familiar reaction to him. How many times has he had to tell his best friend to chill out, only for said best friend to spiritually vibrate into space? He inspects the... second bracelet? attached to her wrist, the one which is the most telling.]
...That's it.
[The idea his bracelet is now just vanishing and appearing on someone else is concerning. He frowns.]
Glad it ended up with you. [So far, he hasn't really run into anyone terribly evil. But still.] I was worried I wouldn't be able to find it at all.
[ Sophia is the opposite of terribly evil except when [REDACTED], so it's okay.
For now, she brightens and slips the bracelet off her wrist, to offer it back to him. ]
I... felt it, I think. A lot of worry, coming from the bracelet. If you worry to such an overwhelming extent, I'm very impressed you haven't developed frequent headaches.
