oo42 [ voice // action ] BACKDATED TO THE 20TH

[fourteen]

Um... hi. [ She feels a little awkward, not knowing how to begin -- but she softens it with a laugh. ] It's been over a week now ... I wanted to thank everyone who's been taking care of me, and everyone who's come to see me at the clinic! It made me really happy. [ A beat ] And look, I'm even outside today!

[ She turns the journal away from her and holds it up. Anyone who cares to look will see the jewel blue sky and a few tree canopies creeping into the edge of the frame, from where they overhang the path. There is a quiet laugh as she does it -- and a murmur of "you dork," both from a male voice. Xion's own quiet response is to laugh, and return gently, "I am not!"

It's been getting better, doing things with her hands. Her whole right side is still sore, but it's come a long way from the hideous, blistered mess that it was the night of the fight. It's a little easier to use her left hand ... her wrist and her shoulder are still healing too, but they're easier to handle. Thank goodness for being ambidextrous, right?

Slowly, she lowers the journal back down, taking care so she doesn't accidentally close it. As a result, the journal catches a glimpse of [Bad username or site: cakeblocked title= @ livejournal.com] standing beside her -- probably the source of that laugh and comment. But then it's just Xion again, smiling. She seems pretty content, even despite the fact that she's still recovering. ]

... it's a really nice day out, today.

[ She looks up at the sky again, pausing briefly. And then her expression clouds, and becomes a little more serious. And just in case -- if he is back, if he would hear it -- she'll filter this. ]

( Locked FROM Vanitas | 100% )

Although... if anyone's seen Vanitas, if he's back ... [ Her eyes narrow. Not in anger, not in concern, but ... a quiet, vaguely troubled thoughtfulness. Yes, she knows ... what happened to him. ] ... I'd just like to know.

[ The other voice pipes up again. "Ready to go?" And the feed, for now, cuts off.

They'll be making their slow but steady way to the village plaza, where Xion, tired from the trek, will end up parked on a bench while Luke gets some food for them. Feel free to bother them at any point along this route -- he'll be supporting her and helping her walk with an arm around her waist. You could catch them on the way back to the clinic too, but, well, by then, Luke might be carrying Xion, and she might well be dozing in his arms. ]

[The mention of Vanitas makes Luke's light expression darken, but he pushes that aside for later. They can talk about that when she's actually sitting and not worrying about how to get to their destination.

Once she's ready, Luke wraps an arm around her waist again and holds her against his side, giving her something to hold on to as well as support on her feet. He walks slow, a leisurely stroll of sorts, though he knows it isn't nearly as easy a task to her.]

Just tell me if I need to stop again, okay?

[Actionated!!] dude i got sidetracked by Nick Pitera aaaa

[fourteen]

[ She settles against him, as she has been doing. It's hard to hold onto him for support -- given the status of her arms -- but she does lean. More than a little if she gets tired, but for now she's alright. She looks up at him and smiles. ]

I will. I'm okay for now, though. [ She looks ahead, pulling the corner of her mouth into a crooked smile ] I don't think this path ever felt so long until today.

[Well, if it isn't Cheyenne's favorite derplicas! Since she can't very well stay moping in her room forever, Cheyenne was just taking a stroll around the village when she spots the both of them sitting on a bench up ahead.]

[Despite the fact that she can't see any of Xion's injuries, the fainter-than-usual glow of her soul tells her she must be hurt in some way. Perhaps recovering, if she's well enough to be outside. Normally Cheyenne might have gone on her way, seeing as it's been awhile since they last spoke, but Luke was with her as well... it would be rude to not at least say hello, right?]

Hello Luke. Hello Xion.

[Action]

[fabrecation]

[The two are sitting close to the other's side, both eating a dish of soft, boneless chicken. Luke is happy as a clam; chicken is his favorite meal, and he's with the girl he loves, and she's recovered enough to be outside. How could he not be happy with this?

The voice makes him look up from his meal, and he takes a second to wipe his mouth clean with the napkin in his lap (not that it was messy, it's just a force of habit) before he raises his head a little to greet her.]

Hey Cheyenne!

[Action] - placeholder until after work. |D/

[Along their walk, Luke and Xion might spot a small, white puppy taking a quick snooze under the shade of a nearby tree. It yawns, rolls over on the grass, then lifts its head once a few voices start coming closer. Familiar voices. Those two pointy ears perk right up, and in an instant, the puppy recognizes the duo and bounds over toward them in...ungraceful and adorably hilarious hops. It is just a puppy, after all.

Xioooon! 8D You're out of the hospital finally, did you get my flowers? Did you like them? Are you feeling any better? All those questions come out as exciteable little yips and barks as the tiny pup wags its tail and jumps up and down happily. Seems Miyabi's too excited to see her big sister to remember that she can't speak, and that she's a little baby godpuppy.]



[OOC: Also I can't remember if Xion can see Ammy/Chibi's markings and divine instrument, so yeah. 8|a]

[Action] - same here |D/

[fabrecation]

[Luke isn't really an animal type, especially the cute animal type. So once the little white puppy bounds over and starts hopping up and down, Luke stops and makes a face. To him, all this puppy is doing is getting in their way and making their journey a little harder, but he won't nudge it out of the way or anything. He will complain, though, and move his free hand in a gesture to go away.]

Go play with someone else, we're busy right now.

[HELLO

Mewtwo had been heading towards the clinic for his hours of sitting guard, but what do you know - she's up and about!

He stops, looking surprised.]

[Action]

[fabrecation]

[We wouldn't exactly say "up and about", as Luke still has to help her a great deal. But she's outside and walking on her two feet! Once Luke sees Mewtwo standing there, he nods in greeting and offers a smile.]

Mewtwo!

[consultmybooks]

...I'm glad you're feeling better, Xion.

[Yeah, a small jar of daisies might have found its way to her bedside table before Giles left the clinic.]

And I'm glad you're outside. Both of you. It is a nice day.

[ She saw it. And she smiles, very much, to hear his voice. ]

Giles! Hey. Thank you... it feels really good to be out here. Even if I'm kind of tired from all that walking.

[ She's only replying now that she's made it to the village plaza... and she's really pretty beat. ]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber]

[goldenglasses]

Glad to hear you're doing alright.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber]

[fourteen]

Oh, Vash! [ She sounds pleased to hear from him. ] I am! Thanks. How are you?

[frost_jewel]

[They might run into her on the start of their walk back to the clinic. It's such a nice day, she's brought her library book outside with her to read. It's nothing too terribly exciting - a book about local plants - but she reads and forgets the world when she's trying to memorize a thing.

So even when Luke and Xion get close? Chances are she won't look up at them unless they greet her or make noise.]

[fabrecation]

[Luke himself still isn't entirely sure if Mia's really allowing Xion to go out like this, considering she still isn't 100% better. Especially considering just where Xion wants to go - all the way to the village plaza...

So Luke tries to stay quiet as he walks past, though he glances at her and the book she's reading.]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

Good to see you up and about, Xion-chin! I hope being in the clinic wasn't too boring for you~.

Keimi! Hehe, thanks. Though it was pretty boring... that's why I'm outside right now! I needed something else to do, or I was going to go crazy. [ a quiet laugh ]

[SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY/WALK, SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS BREATHING HEAVILY BEHIND LUKE AND XION AND CREEPING UP FROM BEHIND

wait no it's just Tao.]

[Action]

[fabrecation]

[... What is this ominous feeling that threatens to engulf us...

Luke stops for a moment, frowning and looking out of the corner of his eyes to the side.]

... Do you hear something?

switching to action cuz I can

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is just on his way through to the smithy when he spots Xion. And Luke too. Right, they're together, aren't they? He's never spent time with them together. Besides, the fact Xion is out and about is great. And he totally visited her in the clinic.]

Hey guys! Good to see you on your feet, Xion.

[action] /STEALS FIRST RESPONSE HERE, JEEZ. also it's cool, masa. :|b

[fourteen]

[ Right, totally. And when he did she was totally grateful. But she grins to see him, giving a small wave. ]

Hi Sokka! Hehe, it's nice to be on my feet. Or, well, outside at least. That clinic room was getting kind of stuffy, even with all the flowers.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

...I'm glad he's with you.

[Voice]

[fourteen]

Roxas...?

[ ... oh. OH. ... blush. ]

He's ... he's spent almost all of his time for the past week just keeping me company. So I asked him if he could help me walk today... [ Always with the feeling like she needs to explain herself. Thanks for that legacy, RIKU. ]

[action]

[meteorical]

[And this particular girl is going to approach that bench while Luke's gone to get food, sliding into that bench and determined to hang around until Luke comes by.]

You're looking a lot better.

[action]

[fourteen]

Oh, Kairi! [ she smiles at the other girl. ] Thanks. I feel much better! I think it might still be a little while before I can come home, though. Hopefully not too much longer.

[voice]

[flaring]

[.............oho what is this. A BOY, XION?. Axel is taking note of this. He's a little late on this, isn't he.]

Don't wear yourself out now.

[voice]

[fourteen]

[ A LITTLE!!! But to his credit, the others were just nosy >:| ... except Sora, but he's Sora. ]

Axel! Hi! [ so chirpy. ] I won't. Or, well ... I'll try. I'm already pretty tired, but I'll definitely rest when I get back to the clinic.

[Since he knew Xion (and probably Luke) has been at the battle dome clinic, Asch has opted to make use of the other clinic to pick up a few things. He wasn't expecting to bump into the pair in the middle of their walk, naturally, but the small, twinging hum he feels resonating in his body as soon as he walks out the door is warning enough that he's mistaken. With a quick glance around, he spots red and black on the path ahead, and takes a step backwards. Maybe he can duck back inside before they notice...]

[Action] /wolf whistles

[fabrecation]

[That twinging hum resonates in him, too, and it makes Luke stop in his tracks. Xion might be confused, but Luke just focuses on it for a second before he looks over his shoulder to look behind him, just as Asch tries to step back to get away from them.

It's too late, Asch. You have been spotted.]

Asch!
