... is it strange to sometimes wish you could go home? Even if there's nothing there for you? [ nothing except death, in her case. this isn't hilariously morbid or anything, no. ]

I'm just not sure when or how things got so ... complicated. Is this just what life is like...?

[ Xion is outside today, somewhere a little more quiet. She's sitting on the railing of the bridge that passes over the river between houses 14 and 35, swinging her legs gently as she holds onto the rail with one hand and the journal with her other. It ... doesn't seem terribly safe, but then again, she's used to much higher places. Feel free to startle her from her contemplation. She could use it. ]

[He returns the smile good-naturedly.] I was. What brings you out here all by yourself? [Because she seemed a little on the sad side, and that rankles his bro-defending instincts. Even if that bro is a girl.]

[ that dims her smile a bit. she sighs quietly and thinks for a moment before answering. ]

... things have been kind of complicated recently. I guess I just wanted to find someplace quiet to think that wasn't too far. And it's peaceful, watching the river.

... I find that a lot of times, it's easier to get results from thinking when you do it out loud. It could just be that you haven't found the right ear to listen properly yet.

[ abruptly she smiles again, looking down at him with a touch of gratefulness. ]

You know, the one thing that still amazes me about Luceti is how many kind people there are. [ swinging her legs gently as she thinks, Xion looks away, out over the water. ]

When you have to choose between the easy way and the right way... you should choose the right way, shouldn't you? Even if it's scary. [ not ... that she sounds positive about that. ]

Without a doubt. The right way tends to never be easy.

[He leans against the railing she's sitting on, looking down into the river rushing below.]

I think facing the scary things just make you braver. And that bring brave gives strength to the people around you.

[ it's only the last part that surprises her. ]

Can it really do that...? That's nice to believe. [ she keeps swinging her legs, like a little kid. ]

... I know what the right choice is. I just wish I was strong enough to really face it.
