[ 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.

[As is generally the case with long story type comments. Kari rolls with it.]

They're pretty hard to come by where I'm from, so I'm usually not very picky... but I guess I can actually afford to be picky here, huh? [Pondering...]

Well. I'm a sucker for a good romance, for one.

[ ... that makes her grin, a kind of goofy grin, before she can help it. Her mind leaps right to a certain book made for her... ]

I like adventure, myself. Though I don't mind romance... [ Hee. ]

[...o-oh that is a really cute smile. Stay cool, Kari, stay cool.]

What about both? Love is... kind of an adventure of it's own, right?

[Ohgodthosewordsjustcameoutofhermouth wow, she had to have stolen that from a visual novel or something.]

[ Don't fall for it Kari SHE'S A TAKEN WOMAN

Worse, that makes Xion laugh, in a sweet sort of way. ]

Yeah, it is. I guess you're right! Maybe those are the best stories.

[ This is probably sending some mixed signals, huh... ]

[A little bit, but hey, she's (kinda) got a girl back home too, so...]

Maybe after I get a bit more settled, I'll have some recommendations for you? Or I guess you could give me some. If you frequent the library at all, we'll probably be seeing a lot of each other.

I do a lot of studying there, so we'll probably run into each other! I could share some of the books I own, too.

Own...? You mean there's more books here than just what's in the library?

Mhm! They turn up in the item store sometimes. It's taken me a few years to collect as many as I have!

[A cute girl with a secret library of books is offering to share them.]

[This place is awesome.]

I'll have to keep an eye out, then! I mean, not to take away any you might want. But. You know. We could share them. Or something.
