... oh, that's just n-n-not fair.
[ In the woods bordering the western lake, this one, having just come to only a moment ago. Her tone may be a little irritated, but, well, she sounds okay, not hurt or anything. That's a plus, right?
Well, except for the fact that she's ... not very well dressed for the weather. She's stuck in the same training outfit her older self showed up in, a black ensemble that shows her midriff... only now there is a scar. A long scar, so long it vanishes into her clothing, extending fully from her left breast to her right hip. Of course, only the long slice of it across her belly is visible.
It's a scar, by the way, that her older self did not possess when she turned up in the same clothes. Curious.
Xion's not thinking about that right now, though. What she's thinking about is that it's freezing -- her luck to show up in the middle of a cold snap! And she's a little bothered that the scar is on display, but... well, what can she do about it? With a sigh that comes out on a violent shiver, she climbs to her feet. (At least she's got shoes.)
This has happened to her so many times now she's getting sort of used to it, and it's a nice change to at least not come back feeling sick/hurt/terrified/some combination therein. She'll flip through the journal a bit, fighting off more shivers, before speaking. Her speech is a little garbled, unfortunately, by her chattering teeth. ]
D-D-D-Does anyone know w-w-w-what day it is? I wonder if I m-m-m-m-missed Christmas. [ a beat, then ] D-D-Did they really have t-t-to drop me off so f-f-f-f-far out?
[ Walking all the way back, dressed like this, in this weather? ... send halp. ]
(ooc; OKAY SO. for once I am going to obey the rules of time and space. Luke got there first, so he's gonna pick her up. if you want to poke her at the lake in an action tag, that's totally cool, but just know it's only Luke taking her home. easier on my poor brain for once.)

[A beat. She might not even want to talk to him, but any worries about that will have to wait.]
It's December 28th right now. You feeling okay?
[voice]
I'm fine... j-j-j-just cold.
[voice]
[voice]
[voice]
But someone's coming to get you. Think you can keep warm until then?
[voice]
[voice]
[He pauses briefly. So far, so good.]
Anyway, you might have missed Christmas, but I got something for you. It's waiting for you, whenever you get back.

[...]
Anyway, I wanted to apologize for what I said before.
[private]
[ she won't help him along. you're on your own for this one, Riku. ]
[private]
[Just like what happened with a lot of things, actually. Heh.]
That experiment was a mess. Something didn't feel right about that "future". For all we know, those memories could've been made up by the Malnosso to see how we'd react. The thing is, I... wanted it to be real.
But it was just an experiment. I was stressed out already, and I took it out on you. I really should have known better.
[private]
but then, well. really, she can't imagine it ever happening, because it's hard to believe he'll ever stop making mistakes. he hurt her feelings again. the apology, in the end, rings hollow. ]
... yeah, you should have. But there's no going back now.
[private]
[private]
[private]
It's something I'll have to work on.
[private]
it just sounds familiar, is the only problem. ]
... I know.
[private]
I mean it this time. Yeah, I've screwed up before, but I don't want to keep making things worse. Your feelings matter.
[private]
she doesn't really want to talk about it. she hasn't got much to say. ]
[private]
Anyway, don't worry about missing Christmas. All you really missed was a big statue and seeing me and Axel dressed like elves.
[private]
oh lol. ] Seriously?
[private]

[private]
[Because she'd be in goofy attire, too, naturally.]
