[ 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. ]

aboysface, and probably tomorrow, as I am heading to bed. |Db)

Thank goodness. Thank goodness...
Luke finishes shifting, but only to ease her into a sitting position on the edge of the bed. He lowers his own body, too, so that she doesn't have to move her head away from him, and he ends up with one leg on the bed and one still on the floor, both arms around her shoulder and just... holding her. That pain in his chest and his eyes is back again, though he isn't really sure why. He's happy.]
... Hey.
no subject
But he's still holding her so close, and though it's a strain and it hurts just a little bit, she manages to reach up and touch his face. ]
... what's wrong?
no subject
...
Once that's done, Luke leans back and loosens his hold, bringing his arms back so that he can press his palms against both of her cheeks.]
... I don't really know. Something... happened to you. It was like... like you were a newborn replica.
no subject
She has no memory of being new the first time. Not really. Even back home the memories were hazy, and it's been even longer now.... she barely remembers even a scant second of that first week or so. One of her very first memories is saying Roxas's name. There is -- one other moment -- in Castle Oblivion, but -- it's a strain to even recall--
And that .... just now...?
She pulls in a breath, not even caring that horror is slowly seeping into her features, and squeezes her eyes shut. Color floods back into her face at the same time -- from shame. ]
I... [ ... don't even know what to say. ]
no subject
[He definitely recognizes that expression. He's worn it a few times himself.
Luke's hands slide to the back of her head, and he rests his forehead gently against hers, a calm sort of solemness on his face. He's in such an awkward position, and the leg on the floor is starting to ache a little from it, but that doesn't matter. She needs him right now.]
... I'll be right here if that happens again.
no subject
... there's nothing for it. She winds her arms around his neck and clings. ... this has got to be a precarious position... ]
no subject
His leg gives out, and has to let go of her to grab onto the bedsheets in an effort to not fall to the floor. Of course, it happens anyway since bedsheets are a rather poor support for things like this, and his other leg slides off the bed as he falls right to his knees with his head near Xion's... well.
But he's too busy wincing and thinking that he's so going to get a nasty bruise on his knees to notice.]
no subject
Her reaction time is still a little slow, so it takes her a moment to realize what's just happened. When she does -- and understands that it is also HER FAULT -- she bites her lip, hard, and takes his chin in her hands. ]
Luke! Are you okay?
no subject
He gives a smile, a tight one, and just waits for the pain to get out of his knees. Owwww he kind of just wants to double over or something, but he's tough! He can take it!!]
I'm fine, I'm fine...
no subject
... were she more aware ... she wouldn't do such a thing. She's not in her own body! It's too strange... but right now she doesn't care. ]
no subject
He'll get himself up now, bringing one arm around her shoulders as he sits himself down beside her and straightens one of his legs, then brings it down again.] Thinking about it now, I was in a pretty bad position anyway. So I guess I'm sorry too?
