[ When Xion arrived back home from a grueling month-long mission, the first thing she did was not check her journal. She headed home. Home, where Luke is. He'd been there, which was wonderful.

He'd also filled her in on all that she'd missed, which wasn't so wonderful. ]

It's scary, sometimes... how much things change. I missed so much while I was gone. I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm home now.

Sometimes, I feel like I've been here such a long time... maybe because it has been a long time. It'll be three years in November... won't it? I don't remember anymore when I got here... I'm pretty sure it was November. It feels like so long ago. Like lifetimes have passed since then. I've grown up so much in this place... and so many people have come and gone. [ Kairi.

A beat. ]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be rambling like this.

We're starting to get some New Feathers in, right? My name is Xion. I work at the clinic, I'm part of the S.O.S Brigade, and I'm head of the Kyoshi warriors. If you ever need help, you can come talk to me. I'll do anything I can.

Um... I guess I have one last thing I want to talk about. I've got a lot of points now from going on missions... what do you guys do with your points? Or what would you do, if you had them? I sort of know what I want, but I guess I'm looking for other ideas, too.

Thanks, everyone.

Mhm! [ She smiles so bright. She loves Sanji wholeheartedly, the way only a daughter can. ]

When I came here, I didn't even know what a family was... and now I have a dad. Sometimes it's like ... something out of a dream. And there's Luke too, of course.

[Richard can't help but smile as well, in part because she and Sanji remind him so much of Asbel and Sophie, and in both cases they seem so happy.]

I've heard a bit about this Luke. I'd like to meet him for myself one of these days to see if he really is as wonderful as everyone claims.

[There's a gentle, teasing tone to his voice, but it's playful rather than malicious.]

Hehe. I promise he is. But I can introduce you two! I bet he wouldn't mind.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'd like that.

[And not because he has protective older brother tendencies or anything, nope.]

Then again, I'm sure that anyone who can earn Sanji's approval must be quite impressive indeed.

[ That wins a laugh. ]

I guess dad can be pretty scary. But Luke's taken cooking lessons from him now! If he can survive that, he can survive anything.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

And just how much blood was shed during these cooking lessons?

[Voice]

[ Laaaaaughing. ]

No! There wasn't any. I'd never let Sanji do that!

[ Note that she says she would prevent Sanji... not that Luke could defend himself. He can, it's true, but ... Sanji is basically a force of nature. ]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[Richard laughs too, amused by her response.]

I meant on Sanji's end as well.

[Although he knows quite well what Sanji is capable of, both in the kitchen and on the battlefield.]

[ Now she feels bad for not believing her boyfriend could even get a hit in. (Even if it's probably the truth.) ]

Richard! You're terrible. Don't give him an excuse to beat up Luke! Sometimes I think he looks for one...
