To say the Chief was surprised couldn't do his expression justice. Likewise now that Mickey turned to look at those whom sported new bumps, he'd see the look of shock on their faces also. True enough the King did appologize but you NEVER spoke like that to the CHIEF, ever. The chief too was a man of temper like the king, how his face boiled red as Mickey had proceeded to scold him. Though perhaps what saved the trio was that Mickey had appologized right away and... Sora no longer being as confused as he was before stood side by side with one of his own men, attentive and just as shocked.
"Little Mouse does speak truth... for this we appologize as well."
All the red skins would now turn to look at the trio and salute.
"This is why celebration will be even bigger than usual, come." He'd proceed to walk down the path, by fate alone was this path one which would bring them closer to Sora's Gummi Ship though they'd have to deal with the celebration first before they could depart.

Mickey's head hung a bit lower than usual as he got swept up into the movement. Perhaps that wasn't the best word though, since nobody really forced Mickey along, he simply moved around below waist level until he was walking alongside Sora and Roxas again.
"Sorry I almost got us into more trouble Roxas," he said, not exactly sure which of the two was going to be responding to him this time. At least he didn't have two names to pick from as well.
'All this and I still have Sora's problem to deal with too. No wonder I'm at my wits end,' a stray grumpy thought said in the mouse's mind where there would normally be concern for his friend's persisting condition.

"Cheer up Mickey, they got me confused too but in the end, everything is okay now, right?" He flashed him a warm smile, one of Sora's own genuine ones. Though Roxas' words were more serious than the light hearted side of his heart.
[glow=red,2,300]"Once the celebration begins, I need to talk to you, about the problem we're having."[/glow]
His eyes would briefly look over to Sora and then to the King himself. It would seem that Sora couldn't actually see or hear Roxas at all, complicating the situation further. Though now wouldn't be the time to dwell on depressing issues, once they arrived at the Indian Camp, it would be all cheering and screaming. Many of them dancing around the camp fire, whilst others prepared food to celebrate.
Considering the circumstances, they owed the Chief and his people their company, at least for a little while. The dirty blonde took off into a sprint to sit around the camp fire with the chief when another revelation occured. Normally the after image of Roxas stuck rather close to his self yet for the first time since his appearance, he was seperated from his side. He couldn't help but looked surprise...was he becoming whole or was he just loosing...himself?

Mickey was just as surprised that this shadow could be left behind as much as Roxas himself was. He wore a suitable expression until he looked over at the fire and said "I thought only I could see you, but I guess the Red Skins can as well. You'd better come sit with us until their celebration gets big enough to cover some explanations."
The way Roxas' faded image had moved during the skirmish hadn't been missed by the King. It acted as if it were really a part of the world... which Mickey wasn't sure how to take. He also noted Sora's ability in a fight and the use of his Kingdom Key wasn't hindered too much by the amnesia, which was good to know. The hero wouldn't be much more physically vulnerable to danger without his memories at least. That small relief in mind he made for the fire and sat at Sora's left, trying his best to shake off the weirdness that was his mood today and enjoy the party.
Mickey did love parties after all In fact... hadn't he thrown one recently? He wasn't completely sure.

[glow=red,2,300]"How's that...possible? Well, you're definitely not wrong they tried to tackle me as well."[/glow]
Roxas couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was happening to their little party. Whilst Mickey didn't fail to observe Roxas and his movements, the same could be said for Mickey. Roxas had watched him through the fight and even afterwards. He took note of the Shadow which kept lurking behind him, the unusual green aura.
It caused him to be lost in thought, though he followed Mickey taking a seat on the King's right. The Red skins could clearly see Roxas but the other side couldn't see him. It wasn't right, he didn't want this seperation...not again. Though it was hard to stay lost in thought for long, the mood the celebration brought, looking how happy Sora was. He was always happy, able to make new friends so easily. It was something he liked...about himself.
It caused him to smile and though he didn't mean to, get caught up in the celebration also, whilst Sora was dragged into the camp fire dance. He'd look to Mickey, to see if he was starting to have a good time...the Chief was watching; after all.

"Ha ha ha!"
Yep, Mickey definitely loved parties. The huge smile and the clapping of hands to the beat was proof enough of that. Little good moments covered in unsavory complications had done nothing to bring Mickey back to feeling completely like himself, but this big dose of cheer was just what the doctor ordered. The King laughed and bopped to the beat in time as the "Indians" sang their songs and pulled Sora into the dance. Mickey had been left out, perhaps because he was so short?
All traces of the earlier disposition wiped clean Mickey hopped off the log seat and moved to the Chief, taking a drink as he did so.
"A drink in honour of your patience towards a stranger, Chief!" he said happily, raising the cup that way.

The chief couldn't help but laugh, his voice bellowing as he pumped his right hand into the air; the cup he was holding nearly spilled. Within his left hand, he took a long drag of his pipe before he spoke words to the mouse.
"Ah it's good to see Little Mouse is cheerful once more."
He then moved from his seat to kneel slightly. This allowed him to better look at the King. No sooner did some of his men rush over to offer Mickey a pipe. They motioned for him to take a puff, getting him truly into the spirit of the ocassion at least, they wanted to.
Meanwhile Sora had completed a few cycles of camp fire dancing and was also offered a puff of the pipe. He tried to refuse at first but the ladies whom offered insisted and no sooner did he take a long drag. His face turned purple for a moment before he coughed out the smoke. It looked funny and it caused the girls to laugh. A light blush and bashful smile was his only response.
Yet Even Roxas wouldn't be left out of the fun either. Three of them quickly surrounded him and attempted to grasp him into a dance around the fire. Roxas, being sure he couldn't actually physically interact with the world in question was swept off his feet by the red skins. Yes, they had actually touched him...his form was...real? Though he was caught in a daze, he too was starting to dance around the fire. The smell of corn began to waiver through the air. A smell which he could actually smell...it was good. For now his mind was distracted from the obvious lingering questions.

"Eh heh heh heh. Yes it seems I needed a little celebration after all," Mickey chuckled as he was offered the pipe and joined the Chief in sitting on the grass to share the moment. Just as the leader took his smoke though Mickey failed to do the same. The pipe fell clean out of his mouth at the sight of the ghostly Roxas being dragged into the dance had caught the corner of his eye, surprising the mouse even more. He quickly collected his wits and apologized to the Chief with a bow of his head though. "Sorry about that! I think I'll join them by the fire."
The King stole away to a side of the fire not occupied by either of the teenagers and began to dance as well. Mickey may have been small but he dared anyone to claim he couldn't cut a rug when he wanted to, often leaping and somersaulting several feet into the air just to make sure he couldn't be lost amongst the taller men.

The chief was confused by Mickey's surprised expression. Upon looking in his direction he just saw the two boy's having a good time. Nothing out of place, though he couldn't help but laugh at how the pipe had fell and his expression. Of course no harm no foul and soon enough he was dancing with the rest. If the Little Mouse was serious about dancing, then he felt he needed to join the others.
As such soon the party began to really get loud, many of the women cheered when the chief joined the circle, which soon became an advanced kongo line as the danced around the camp site. There was plenty of moments to grasp for some delicous corn as well. Neither of the boys missed an oppertunity to grasp for one though Roxas was surprised to see Mickey join in on the fun. Perhaps whatever was bothering him had supressed for the moment?
Little by little, he simply began to worry less and less. A good celebration really did that. He actually began to feel like his happy go lucky counter part; which in itself was an oddity. Though the fun times would take another mood swing when Sora began to glow with the same blue aura from before. In the distance a light seemed to shine into the sky, was that light coming from the...Gummi Ship?

It was around the time that the Chief started leading a conga line that Mickey saw the party getting riled up to the point where even the trio of newcomers wouldn't be the focus of all. The mouse quietly made his way to Roxas' side and, partially just to test it for himself, tugged at the boy's pant leg. His expression wasn't as cheerful as when dancing but neither was it as grim as before. It was set in the middle ground of wanting to take this chance to talk while they could without Sora himself wondering why his new friend had an invisible friend... with the same name as he.
"Lets get some corn," Mickey said, just in case anyone was listening, then began to pace towards the remaining food available to the party-goers. Because of his size Mickey had lost Sora in the din and didn't notice the flickering of blue return.

It would seem the oppertunity to speak had finally arrived, since no sooner did Mickey catch up to Roxas. It was strange to feel the tug against his pant leg. It was a sign to discretly drop out of the line and as mentioned by Mickey; get some corn. Following the mouse, it would seem Roxas lost sight of Sora as well. The new area to get food was actually rather abndoned, everyone had moved to crowd around areas where they could catch the dancing in action.
"I guess this is as good a time as any."
Though he still spoke with Sora's voice, it actually came from his own being...in surprise, his left hand moved to cover his mouth. His eyes seemed to look to Mickey, this time hoping he had some answers, though it wasn't likely.

Mickey wasn't surprised anymore. Being seen by all but Sora was one thing, but being touched was rather another. The wise old King foresaw Roxas becoming more and more whole... until he was no longer just a faded shadow at all. What would become of Sora then he wasn't sure, but Mickey knew he had to sue this time as best he could since the other side of Sora's heart was apparently unaffected by his condition for now. So, taking some corn with his gloved hand, Mickey acted normal as he spoke in a lower volume than usual.
"Do you remember what happened to Sora?" he asked, deciding he wanted any clues to the root of the problem if possible. Fortune may even dictate that clues to Sora's appearance here might offer some insight into his own. "What made him this way?"

It started with a fierce battle, or so Roxas would begin to say explaining to the King about Sora's fight with his Antiform.
"It lead to his defeat and then the Antiform aborbed him; us...into his being which was when I woke up. Memories of everything that happened, my own and ours together took hold of me and then...I fell asleep. When I woke up once more I found myself able to 'see' but I had no body to eyes to see with. The world we were in, I'm not sure...I just remember fighting heartless and protecting a carriage.
Once that was over, I had disappeared in the middle of traveling to...somewhere, that's how we got to this place. Never Land right?"
He'd been careful to speak to the King in a low tone, ocassionaly taking a bite of corn and even clapping as well should anyone look over to them.
"How'd you get here...your majesty?"

The King had been nibbling on his corn during Roxas' recollection of the assault by Light, though the events that occurred that day did nothing to let the Key Bearers know about the Antiform invasion given how vague the beach battle had been in revealing information to those present. Still, it was quite a tale.
"Someone defeated Sora?" Mickey repeated in disbelief. That was no small feat. A great many mighty warriors and monsters alike had all been dispatched in the trying... but invincible he was not. Sora more often than not fought with allies by his side. A surprise attack by a powerful foe may have done the job, and also gave him no true measure as to how strong this Light really was.
"Hmmm..." Mickey crossed his arms and looked down in though. "A party... yes, yes I remember now! I did throw a party! Four of them!"
Looking back up into Roxas' eyes Mickey seemed glad to remember, but after a pause in speech the expression turned disappointed. "Nope. I can't remember what happened during it. All I know is that I woke up stranded on this world days ago with no Gummi Ship."
'Could I have been attacked as well?' he wondered the obvious. 'And if I don't have amnesia... what did happen to me?'

Roxas was happy that Mickey seemed to be remembering, perhaps a vital clue was about to --- no, he didn't remember anything further. It caused Roxas to sigh, though something else came to mind.
"I remember you throwing some parties also but...I don't remember seeing you?" he added, though it would seem they were at a loss.
"At least you're not stuck here anymore, I've got a Gummi Ship. It's probably best if we go back to Twilight Town to get Kairi. I wanted to make sure she was safe, so I left her there but now that I've found you, it's better if we stick together."
With that the boy finished eating the corn in question before seizing some other food to eat. The party would eventually die down soon enough, which would allow them to hit the road, though what of Sora? Blue occuli searched through the crowds, only to catch a glance of the one in question. He seemed, pale...somewhat transparent---
"S-sora?"
