Good for you, then. (In a context where formal education had little use or value, learning by going had immense benefits. Better not have any teachers holding him back; knowledge went beyond the bounds of traditional academics. The world outside was an enabling environment that paved the path for exploration and enrichment, after all.)
(School uniforms were initially adopted out of practicality and instrumental in maintaining safe learning. Far from practical to fight in and climb up mountains, though. Regardless, the Superior wouldn't mind . . . having Roxas dressed in his school uniform outside the classroom. For reasons. Absent-mindlessly the older man tightened his grip on Roxas' hand and resumed his purposeless promenade, meditating cheerlessly upon buried hopes. All of Roxas' efforts wouldn't end with futility; while he had yet to discover a way around Xemnas' relationships issues, his willingness to stand by his side saw more appreciation than the Superior did articulate. On finishing his ice cream, Xemnas carefully shove the stick inside the pocket.
Part of him wanted to collect a memento from each world they visited together.)
You have my thanks. Your idea of a vacation has piqued my curiosity.
(Best to spend the night in an anonymous place. If he managed to take up residence in Destiny Islands, the silver-haired man would decorate his place with all things Nobody and photos in which they appeared together in sentimental situations. There were enough munnies left to book a night's stay that had the Clock Tower view. No question was asked when he checked in; as long as they weren't trouble, the clerk wouldn't cause a stir. There would be opportunities for them to get away, just the two of them, and gaining back all of his memories to figure out the mechanisms of the heart was one of them. As he stepped in, the hotel room was small, clean, and odourless -- but the view outside was breathtaking. Without a care in the world, Xemnas took off the flannel shirt and placed it on the hanger. Upon bunching his knitwear up and holding it over his pecs, the Superior belatedly asked him:)
In the unlikely event your friends didn't come looking for you, would you want to stay with me?

( -- to discuss important matters. Like how to get into contact with Naminé without raising anyone's suspicions. Or just basking in intimacy with the blond.)
