oo3 [ action // accidental voice ]

[ Axel's not the only one who hasn't been in a certain apartment that much, lately. Xion's been scarce, keeping to herself as much as humanly possible except through journal communication. But right now, despite the cold, she's sitting on a bench in the center of town. At least she's got a puffy white coat on to keep her warm.

She's writing in her journal, at the moment. Doing ... math! Very simple math, just some addition, and murmuring aloud to herself as she does it. 363... 364... 365...

After a sudden pause, she crosses all of her work out, then sets her pen down, staring up at the sky. Despite her quiet voice, the journal picks up what she says anyway. ]

I turn a year old today...

[ Then she shuts the journal, so no one who isn't actually nearby right now will hear this part -- or see her expression turn suddenly sad. ]

Sora...

......

[ okay, now she feels bad all over again, for assuming all this stuff. so she's just going to stay quiet for a long moment, and ... fidget. aaaawkwaaaard. ]

... it's okay.

... Hey. Want me to leave you two alone, Xion?

[Because it's none of his business...]

...I should have just told you that. [Gives Riku a side-glance, but otherwise he's going to ignore him.]

[ she gives Riku a look like she may actually panic if he leaves, but then she takes a deep breath. she'll get back to you in a minute, Roxas. ]

Sorry. I don't want to make you stay. I'll talk to you later, okay?

[Right. He'll sloowly get up, that way she has time to readjust, what with her using him as a rock. Or something.

But he nods.]

Don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with me, anyway.

[But he'll get ready to head out.]

Good luck.

[Roxas watches as Riku gets up and ready to leave, not saying anything and just keeping an eye on him. However, he takes the chance to go ahead and steal his seat. He's going to let Xion talk first.]

[ she's quiet again, for a moment, watching Riku go. then she glances kind of sideways at Roxas, fiiiighting off the urge to bite her lip. ... it doesn't work. ]

Listen, Roxas ... it's okay. It's not like we can go back and change what's already happened, anyway. Besides, I only just figured out earlier that I turned a year old today ... and I didn't even know what a birthday was until someone told me. So it's really -- it's okay.

[Byeee Riku. Roxas is going to think this through...]

...my birthday was two months ago. Axel explained it to me, said it made the most sense since I was here for a year. That's not the point, the point is...it's okay. We'll figure something out, right?

[ Xion stays quiet for a moment, pulling her journal into her arms and hugging it against her chest. ]

I don't think I'll measure my birthday by how long I've been here ... I mean, then I'd have to wait another whole year. I'm okay with my birthday being today.

[ softly ] You really are ahead of me, huh. Older, I mean. Axel, too. It's so weird to think about...

[ with a sigh, and a little more strongly in answer to his question ] Yeah. We will.

I wouldn't think about it too much though...okay?

[ she does smile a little, at least. ]

I'll try.

[ while there's still totally one thing she's dying to ask, the stays silent, staring at the ground. ]

...good. [Grins still, but he knows it's not really perfect.]

[ she nods, a little more relaxed now. but she still has to ask. it takes her a moment to work up the courage ]

Last time you said you needed to think, but ... I wanted to ask again. Is this ... all of this really okay now?

It...it's really weird, but I think it will be okay. Does that make sense?

[ she holds her breath for an instant, as the words sink in, then ... lets out a huge sigh of relief and nods, thankfulness practically radiating off her in waves ]

Yeah, it does. Thanks, Roxas. That's ... that's so good to hear.

[ aw man hey not again. she's not sad this time, so why are her eyes wet again? someone should teach her relief can do that to a person. ]

Yeah, sure. [He grins a bit, but he's slightly startled when he notices her eyes are wet] ...hey. Are you sure you're okay?
