[Luke does look down at her when she moves her head to look at him, and he does see that smile, even if it only lasted for a moment.
At that moment, when she smiled, despite how much of a doll she was... Xion was beautiful. Not that she isn't always like that to him, but it was such... such an incredible moment. She smiled. He's sure she didn't understand what he said, but she still smiled for him. And that gave him some hope. For a moment before that, he had almost thought she'd be this way forever, that he'd lost her... But she smiled. He wasn't so afraid anymore. Sure, that fear was still there, and he was still sad, but it didn't feel like such a cold grip anymore.
So, he smiled for her, a little more real this time, though she might not see it.]
... Thank you.
[He looks ahead, his spirits at least rising enough to take that waver out of his voice.]
I'm not sure how Asch will react if he sees you like this... Knowing him, he probably won't like it. Maybe he'll understand, though... And you can stay in my room for a while.
