[ There is a creature in the plaza.

Though initially it hid behind the clothing shop, it seems to be venturing out now, just slightly ... looking for an opening to sneak away.

Can this creature summon portals on its own? Xion does not understand it, this body. She has seen these things before, of course, but to BE one? It's strange and terrifying. She'd known before, when she had Sora's face, felt it, but ... hadn't that been an exception? She'd tried -- right now, she couldn't even talk. And she could feel it. This wrong face, this wrong body, not hers. The only thing that might mark her, right now, is a curious (possibly cruel) artifact the Malnosso let her keep upon her return. Around the creature's neck, on a chain, is a ring. Xion does not seem to have realized it is there. She has rather more important things on her mind, after all.

Turned into a Dusk. The one threat Xemnas always turned on his members should they become unruly. She'd known. But how... he's not here! She'd only been taken for a night at most. How could the Malnosso....

What is wrong with her?

Should you be about in the evening, you may see this creature trying to rush, twist, and dart its way back to house 14 in that odd, swaying way Dusks seem to move.

But be careful if you run into her while you're out -- she just might turn into someone else entirely. ]

[ .......... oh. lovely. that's really lovely.

Xion pauses when she sees him. This is just ... great.

Her stance changes into something guarded immediately, but she neither moves forward nor away, just waiting to see what he'll do. ]

[ .... it IS her. The memory comes flooding back on a wave of surprise that quickly abates in favor of something ... something very muted, but a little warm. She moves forward again, a little closer... Now there's curiosity, and a tentative sort of happiness, mixed with a little worry.

Yes. Yes, she is having trouble, though getting that out in words isn't quite working for her right now. ]

[ That actually pulls a more genuine smile out of her, however briefly. ] I've thought about that too, sometimes.

Um... [ she bites her lip, and looks away, over the plaza. ] ... I don't know ... I think I just need to go home.

[ She lets a hand trail at the level of his head as they walk, occasionally brushing one of the bigger, longer spines that comes back off the top. Why she does it, she doesn't really know. Comforting touches ... just feel right, somehow. ]

... but ... what if I scare them?

[ She has not let go of his hand. Quite the opposite -- she's squeezing it now, another sign of the fear she feels. Though if her expression is any indication, she's already half-convinced to go. There's even resignation in her tone. But ... she's still scared, and she feels awful. ]

Yeah right. Have you ever put up a tent before? [ tiny grin. ... but the mention of Axel makes her smile fade just a little, and she shakes her head, looking out over the road. ] I could just stay in an apartment for a few days.

[ She shakes her head.

... wait, that's not a Dusk! ]

[ A sudden frown. ... Right, of course he's right. She shakes her head. ] ... point taken. But there is one thing I can do, if I think about it... [ a thoughtful pause. ] Want to come to the clothing shop with me?

[Now, Riku was totally cool, even though this is a Dusk.

But once he notices that ring, he doubles back, eyes wide. There's no way...!]

Anything! I'm starving. [ Rummaging through some cabinets la la la what do we haaaave ]

[ .... iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinches out towards him. slowly but steadily.

Axel ;~; ]

[ ............................................................................ seriously?

Xion shifts uncomfortably, but does as she is told, not moving from her spot ... though she does move her arms down so she can lift her head and watch. ]

[ ........ what. What. Why did he stop!

She gives an uncertain shiver, inching a little closer. ]

[ Sorry, sorry! This is fun ... and his head is comfy. ]

Hey, what're you trying to say? I could still pull on your hair, you know.

[ ... she smiles, a quiet laugh escaping her. It's very strange, to be so at ease around someone she barely knows, especially while she's like this, but ... Keiichi seems to have a knack for it. ]

That's only fair. [ She'll go ahead and take that sandwich. ]

We can eat on the way. Hopefully I don't lose my mouth again. [ ... with some humor, remarkably. ]

[ Rep moves into the touches just a little bit. Because he doesn't want to admit that it's comforting, though he's not... entirely sure to whom. Still, they're nice, and he doesn't want them to go away just yet. ]

[ ...Awesome. It looks like that worked! TRULY, SHE IS MASTER OF ALL BEASTS.

Okay, no getting overconfident. She keeps looking up at Xion as she crouches by her bag and sorts through the bag. ...Ugh, the pickle jar broke and now everything is covered in dill juice.

During one of her times looking up, she muses out loud. ] I wonder if you're someone's pet. They shouldn't let you wander about on your own like that. [ She says despite her own recent difficulties with her own pet bird.... ]

I bet you couldn't! Not very hard, anyway.

[ ... now she's starting to get agitated. She's not a boy. She's not someone's pet! Twitch, twitch, poking her head out a little further...

Oh, if a Dusk could grumble. Xion just shakes her head. ]

[ Oops, it looks like talking to it was annoying it. The headshake doesn't register at first as an answer to her wondering -- instead, she interprets it as a continuation of the twitching and weird swaying of earlier. She grabs the handles of her bag and scoots back a little. ]

Easy, boy. I'm not going to hurt.... [ Wait, why not try what had worked the last time? ] Stay.

No, but how hard can it be? [His grin fades when hers does though.] Why? That's kind of silly if we can get you into the house.

...is that the one thing you can do? Sure. May as well, I haven't anything else to do as of yet. Lead the way.

Here, take a seat. I can probably find something...assuming Sora didn't eat everything.

I bet everyone does.

Well... I could come with. [Pause.] You seemed a little nervous. If you change again, I can take care of any questions. [Since she couldn't talk at all. Which must suck.]

[He aims to have her as much at ease as possible. Because it's bad enough to be like this without others adding stress to it, so he's actually pretty pleased to see her smile and seem more calm than she was some minutes ago.]

Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on you. If there's any sign of Miss Mouth going on a trip somewhere I'll let you know... And catch the sandwich if those little hands decide to go on a trip too.

[She didn't seem very capable of holding things in that first form. He'll eat his sandwich extra slowly, though, just in case anything fails and she ends without hers, so she can eat the rest of his once she has a mouth again.]
