[ 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. ]

... 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...

[ ... well .... she is sixteen! in ... erm ... principle. SHE'S SORTA CLOSE. ] Well ... if you say so. [ but now she's totally gonna look it up later, good job Paprika.

regardless: caught. ack. ] ... I know. But sometimes there's no way to deal with what I'm thinking about at that moment... so I just toss and turn for a while. I used to go for walks, when it was warmer...

[What she thought you kids knew about this sort of stuff. So innocent Xion...]

You don't need to deal with them right now. Getting your mind off them enough to fall asleep is the goal. Tell me, when you try to sleep what do you normally think of?

[ ... everything that is wrong with her world? um. this is probably her problem. ]

... I guess how the day went, and what's been happening lately. It distracts me, but ... I have a hard time trying to get my mind off it.

Is it something you can solve right away, or do you think it will be a long term issue?

Well... I've sort of always been like this. [ so: long term issue. ]

Hm.

What are your favorite things in Luceti?

[ ... what is this question. she blinks, but there's no hesitation in her answer. ]

My friends!

Try to think about them when you try to sleep. It can relax you a lot more.

[ ... a clock tower comes to mind, and a sunset, and she reflexively smiles. sometimes her friends are the source of her worries.... in fact, that's often the case. but she can see what Paprika's getting at... ]

So ... think about things that I like and make me happy, and maybe I'll fall asleep easier? Is that the idea?

Yes. Most people don't believe me when I say it's that easy, but trust me it is. The only hard part is thinking of fond memories and things.
