[ It is a dizzy, sick, and weak Xion that finally manages to make her way back into town after having been dropped off at the outskirts by her generous mallynappers. She'd so rather much not be out in the open right now, but she needs help and she knows it. The farthest she can make it is the fountain in the center of the village. That's where she collapses, curling up in a ball on the ground, leaning back against it.

For the first time in months, she's in full Organization regalia. She'd started to leave off the gloves and the dark cloak, just opting for the plain black uniform underneath and a different coat. But now it's all back, and the hood is up, the cowl hiding her hair and eyes in its shadow. Considering she never has her face covered these days, it's pretty obvious she's hiding for a reason.

She's shivering. Maybe if she curls up in a tiny enough ball and keeps her hands pressed down over her head -- maybe if she hides well enough -- no one will see her before she can gather up the strength to get the hell out of here. ]

[Sokka happens to be on his way leaving the smithy when he notices someone huddled up by the fountain. He doesn't recognize her, but he's got nothing better to do compelled to investigate. So he'll come on over and give the person a slight nudge on the shoulder.]

You okay?

[ starts like she's been burned, jerking away from his hand, though she doesn't say anything. the way she's holding herself and reacting make it pretty clear she's terribly frightened, but like hell is she going to say why. plus, her face is still mostly hidden. ]

[He kneels down next to her.] If something's wrong, we should get you to the clinic.

[ well. he can probably see her eyes now. just sort of cowers from him. ]

... I'm fine.

[On her way to the store, Hanabusa happens to come along a certain pained looking girl. Of course, what kind of person would she be if she didn't stop to help?]

Oh, my! Darling, do you need help? Do you have a place to stay?

[fourteen]

Ah...

[ "darling"? would you refer to a girl that way? that would mean...

she keeps her hood covering up as much as possible, but since she's looking up now, her eyes are probably visible, as is the strain and worry on her face. she looks exhausted. ]

I'm... I'm not new, it's just the Malnosso took me.. I'm okay.

[flowerofnabari.livejournal.com]

Could I at least take you home, then, sweetheart?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Xion!

[Hi there. Riku totally notices her and will be making his way up to the poor girl. Oh man, where has she been?]

[fourteen]

[ OH GOD NO WHY HIM. she starts when she hears his voice, and attempts to rise, if only to leave, but she's so tired. she stops trying after a moment and just sinks back down, but absolutely will not look up at him. from this angle her hood covers her face completely. doesn't say a peep, either. ]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[He frowns, taking a seat next to her, whether she likes it or not.]

What's wrong?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

[Noticing Xion, Guybrush approaches her with a look of concern.]

Oh, hey Xion. Are you okay?

[fourteen]

[ AGH. jumps a little, looking up at him. ]

Guybrush? I...

[ she does let one hand down, but the other seems to be carefully keeping her hood in place. her eyes are visible, but not her hair. ]

I'm just ... not feeling too well. The Malnosso took me, I only just got back.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

[She was a victim of the Malnosso!? Guybrush likes her so he wants to help her. He thinks about what he should do...]

Oh! Uh, do you need to go to the clinic or anything?

[You don't get away with that, little sister. Sora spots her as he leaves the miscellaneous store - the dislike for the Org coat definitely rears its head, but the figure's too small to be any of the bad ones. That leaves Roxas... or Xion.]

[He makes his way over to her, trying not to startle her, before dropping to sit next to her pretty casually. Doesn't matter which one it is, really.] Hey.

[Action]

[fourteen]

[ FREAKS OUT. LIKE IMMEDIATELY. of all the people to run into!

she jerks away from him, pulling away, but she's too tired and sick to get back to her feet right now. but she keeps her hood up, so her face is visible, but not her hair. she looks awful, not to mention terrified. ]

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey! It's okay, it's just me!

[And of course Sora's concerned for her and isn't... quite sure why she's freaked out about him. You're his little sister, right?]

Come on Xion, it's just me. I'm not gonna hurt you. [He's gonna help you.]

[Action placeholder thing]

[perplexme]

[Roxas has been patrolling the village for the last few days...weeks...he doesn't even know anymore, he just knows he's been waiting for Xion to come back, especially with Axel and his stunt with Kairi and Sora. As soon as he spots her though, he's going to run over to her because this is unexpected. Crouching down in front of her, he's just trying to evaluate the whole situation]

...Xion? You in there? [Well, Roxas, she's not a monster who's going to eat your face, so.]

[Action placeholder thing indeed]

[fourteen]

[ Roxas is going to get roughly the same reaction Sora got. that is, freaking out. it's especially bad for Roxas, because he's the one who saw her, that time, when she had that face...

not that he remembers. but still, she reacts pretty poorly, trying to scramble away from him. ]

[Actionnn]

[perplexme]

[WHOA. He'll back up but he's looking at her.] Hey! It's okay, it's just me!

[misakasays.livejournal.com]

[Misaka is just staring down at Xion. Lovely.]

[fourteen]

[ uh. tilts her head up at her, but the hood still manages to cover her eyes and hair. shifts back a little, almost trying to curl up tinier, defensive and cautious. ]

Spending large periods of time on the ground is a proven way to contract a disease, states MISAKA.

[As Kratos is walking about, doing his own sort of patrol for his missing charge, he sees this lump of black against the fountain. He'd usually walk on and ignore her, figuring she was just down on her luck, but something about her mana signature makes him stop. He won't say a word, though. Only study her.]

[fourteen]

[ ... hey, she remembers him. kind of starts when she sees him looking at her, lifting her head. if he's perceptive, and he's ever run into Sora, something about her will feel very, very similar to him, right now. too much so to be normal or right, but it's fading.

his staring makes her feel kind of strange, though. she shifts a little, sort of wanting to call out, but isn't very good at making the words come. ]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

[He's never spoken to Sora, but he's likely passed him by a couple of times. And since Kratos takes a note of most mana signatures, something does feel vaguely familiar. And odd. Because it definitely isn't Sora - that isn't the body of a male, after all.

Of course, he knows that his staring can be a bit unnerving. Curiosity and concern wins out, and he breaks his gaze as he starts to walk over to her.]

... Are you all right?
