[ It's a very, very exhausted Xion who is now finally home safe and in bed after a long day. Being returned from a death penalty removal only to end up in a vicious fight with your once boyfriend can take a lot out of a girl.

She and Riku had healed her up as best they could, agreed to tell no one, and left it at that. It was the best they could do, to try and keep the peace. Peace they both desperately needed.

Though now she was home, and warm, Xion found she could not sleep. Her deeply aching arms did not help matters. They'd have to be looked at -- hopefully by someone who didn't know any of her friends...

With a sigh, she starts up a voice post. ]

Hey, guys. I'm back. [ weak smile. ] Sorry for taking off like that.

[ ... okay, this isn't working. she needs ... she doesn't know what she needs, but she doesn't want to be alone right now -- and it'd almost be too risky to go find someone else in the household. if she let slip the truth....

it has to be someone else. (and definitely not Sanji.) it doesn't take her long to decide who. ]

( Luke | Locked 100% )

... hey. How are you feeling? [ if you're still sick she is not gonna bother you 8|

after a beat, she'll add the following for the general population, because it will probably come up later in the night, knowing her luck. ]

So... if you couldn't sleep, what would you do? To try and get to sleep, I mean. Though I guess I wouldn't mind knowing how you'd pass the time, too...

... welcome back. Where did you go?

[Don't mind his flat tone. He's just sulkyy, okay.]

[And here he was about to give a "HEY YOU'RE BACK". But then she directs part of her post to him, and, well... better backtrack on that excitement so that he doesn't sound TOO happy over her coming back, even though his voice sounds a little light thanks to that.]

Xion! I'm okay... But what about you? Where did you go?

[He would've asked Ginko, but... he kind of knocked his pen over and couldn't manage to get it, and then he just flopped his head back on the pillow and went right to sleep. Yeah, he was feeling pretty terrible at that point... But right now, he's much better. All he has left is a slight cough.]

[ quiet, for a moment. there's no reason to keep this a secret, right?

... she filters it anyway. ]

I went to see John.

[Give him a moment and...]

Like... red John? That John?

Xion ... [Hey, now.]

-- how do you feel?

[ .............. how does she explain this to Luke without....

UH. ] There was just something I had to take care of... it's kind of a long story. [ eh heh. ] I'll explain it later, okay?

I ... actually had a favor to ask you.

There are a few different ways to get to sleep. You can try drinking something warm if you have to calm your nerves or turning in bed until you find a comfortable position to rest in. Unless this is an issue of 'having too many things on your mind' to rest.

[because hey, the literal dream definitely knows about trying to get people to sleep ~~so she can invade their privacy~~ I mean.]

Ginko. [ her voice warms. this is an obviously welcome presence. ]

Not great, but ... I'll be okay. It's kind of strange, being able to feel sore again... anything that hurts. I'd kind of forgotten what it was like.

[Oh, hey, person-that-he-knows. What an interesting question to throw out there—and of course one that will always automatically scream 'I'm having problems', whether Xion likes it or not; but Wolfwood grins and sinks into his couch cushions.]

I like reading, if I can't sleep. I used to just mope around and drive myself crazy with the quiet, but—I've started to notice that isn't the funnest route to take.

[his smile creases even more]

... besides, it's pretty damn easy to get to sleep if you're reading something boring.

[And Luke... is perfectly okay with that.] Oh... Okay. What is it?

... that John. [ there's some faint distaste in her emphasis. ] ... I went to get my penalty removed.

[He's not sure how to feel about that. John wasn't exactly the nicest guy when Sokka met him. But he's not exactly on the Malnosso's side and yet, at the moment, he doesn't really care about that.]

Did it work?

Hm. [So that was the case...

gravely] Pain is pretty valuable.

...Where did you go?

[He can't answer that last question without sounding..pretty odd.]

Kinda depends on what's keeping you awake. There's herbal remedies that can help you sleep, though you probably shouldn't rely on them all the time.

Barring that, I just try and keep busy. You pass out eventually.

I've found that chamomile tea can help at times, as can taking a warm bath. But if you discover something else that works, I'd like to know about it as well.

Warm... like what? [ tea and milk come to mind, but she's not particularly feeling either. ] But yeah, it's definitely the too many things issue.

Usually milk, but I know people who fall asleep from a warm glass of scotch. ...But, you look a bit too young for alcoholic remedies!

If that's the case, I recommend writing them down to get them out of your mind. If you don't want to talk about them to someone that is.

[ oh hey there Nicholas why so judgy. couldn't she just have insomnia )8 doesn't that happen to normal people sometimes??? gosh.

but she smiles to see him. Wolfwood is one of those people she always gets along with, no matter how bad she's feeling. case in point: what he says makes her laugh, albeit quietly. ]

Something like what, though? The dictionary? That's pretty boring.

... there was something I had to take care of. It's okay, though.

[ wait a minute.

wait a minute.

wait a minute. ]

.... Nami?! [ YOU'RE BACK SHE DID NOT KNOW ]

... I don't know if we have that kind of tea... maybe I can get some tomorrow. [ a quiet sigh. ] Hehe, I'll be sure to tell you. I can't believe I didn't ask a long time ago.

... yeah. [ kind of a strange smile, that one. ]

[That it is. Hm.]

... I guess it's hard to get too excited about feeling pain.

... could you come over? [ vaguely nervous face. ]
