[ 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. ]

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.

[perplexme]

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.

... I meant that only if I couldn't get into the house! Dummy. [ armpush.

... but now they're at the house and her levity fades. she stares at it uncertainly, then looks at him. ] You go first. I'll try and follow you in.

[perplexme]

I'm just saying! [But he pushes back lightly before he looks to the front door.] It's nothing to be afraid of. I think. [But he nods slowly and takes the few short steps up and to the front door, resting his hand on the knob and turning it. He pushes the door open, stepping instead the doorframe and looking out to Xion.]

Try it.

[ She looks up at him, clearly concerned, then swallows hard and nods. Slowly, she moves towards the door. ... up the steps ... and to the door frame. Once she touches it ... she relaxes, her guarded, worried look fading to be replaced with relief. ]

Looks like I can do it after all.

[perplexme]

Man, I was kind of looking forward to pitching a tent. [But he smiles and shuts the door behind them.] Welcome home.
