[ Without any warning, a short, sharp shriek of fear is going to be transmitted across the journals. It's followed by dead silence, and a few whispered words too quiet to be picked up on.

A moment goes by in silence, wherein Xion notices both the room's other [Bad username or site: perplex_me title= @ livejournal.com] and her journal at the foot of her bed. Her voice is shaky when the journal picks it up next, and she's both addressing anyone who heard as well as Roxas. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to -- it's -- I'm okay.

What's...

[ She could have sworn she saw him, just as she awoke. Right out of the corner of her eye, like some monster from her nightmares. It would be impossible to mistake that blue hair, those impossibly cold eyes... but there was no one there. Not to mention her dreams of the past few days haven't exactly been nightmares, so much as... ]

--Sora! Sora! Where is he?! [ very upset Poppet is very upset and isn't sure if she's really yelling this at Roxas, or at the whole universe. ] SORA!

(ooc; her voice replies will come a little bit after this entry is actually made; her thread with Roxas will chronologically come first. tags might be a little slow because there is a cat sleeping on my arms.)

... can I see you?

Like I'd say no.

So where are you? I'll be right over.

[ hee. that gets a very faint smile out of her. ]

I'm in my apartment. Community building 2, room 19 on the fourth floor.

[ Axel isn't in, but Roxas ... she'll figure it out. She wants to see Riku more than she cares about Roxas still being an idiot over their relationship right now. ]

Be right there.

[And right as he leaves his response, Riku's already on his way to see her.]

[ oh jeez. she'll shut the journal and head out into the apartment's common area to wait for his knock on the door. suddenly she feels nervous, and for all the wrong reasons. Sora is his best friend, after all, and it's her fault everything is falling apart.

well. she'll just wait, trying not to let the anxiety bite at her. ]

[And soon enough, he does knock! Riku's a bit wary himself, but right now he knows Xion needs that support.]

[ Xion pulls open the door pretty much as soon as she hears the knock, almost startling herself with how fast she moves. for a moment she just looks at him ... and then her expression crumples up. before she can start crying she steps forward and throws her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest and basically just clinging to him. she's still scared. ]

[That's okay. Riku understands, and he'll let her cling as long as she wants. To further comfort her, he'll even pull her into a hug.]

[ she just stays silent and pressed against him for a long moment. probably a few minutes. when she finally pulls away her eyes are wet, but she's not crying. ]

Thanks for coming over.

You don't have to thank me, Xion. I wanted to be here.

[He'll hold still for now, waiting to see what she'll do next.]

[ well, she stands back to let him into the apartment. ]

We can talk in my room.

Lead the way.

[He'll slip on through, then.]

[ she just leads him straight back, and once they're in her room, she shuts the door behind them.

after that's done, she'll take a seat on the edge of her bed, nodding for him to sit next to her. ]

... have you seen Sora? I mean, I guess you must have, I was asleep for a week...

Yeah.

[He'll take a seat next to her. He knows what he wants to say, but it's all a matter of phrasing it in a way that won't upset her.]

[ just leans against him, quiet. nothing you can say can much upset her at this point, Riku; she already knows how bad Sora must be doing. ]

[That won't stop him from being careful, though. He has much more tact than he used to.

But for now, he'll settle with draping an arm around her.]

[ poppet makes a soft noise and lets her eyes slip shut, some of the tension and worry seeping out of her. when she speaks, though, she sounds a little sad. ]

... you don't have to tell me, actually. I know which memories of his I have... that's all I dreamed about.

So that's where his memories went...

[He sounds equally sad. After all, this means Sora might get even worse.]

... there might be more, Riku. It's going to get worse before the end.

["the end." not a very careful euphemism for her death.]

How long do you think it'll be?

... I don't know. A few more months, maybe. Once he falls asleep, there'll only be a few days left...

Maybe...

[He stops again. No, he can't suggest that. She'd get even more upset.]

... maybe what?

[ the look she gives him is searching. there isn't much he can say now to make her feel worse than she already does. ]

... It's nothing.

[ she takes his hand, gripping it tightly. ]

Tell me.
