RIKU → first dawn || video

[resipiscent]

[There's a long-haired boy on the video, glancing around as he walks. He's checking out the city streets, but his brightly-coloured eyes keep flicking up to the sky -- it's been a while since he's seen a real one.]

Uh, can someone tell me where this is?

[One hand comes up to rub at a black collar on a scarred throat -- the hand is made of some kind of silvery metal, and the scar on his throat is horizontal, like it was slit.]

Not F3 or something stupid like that?

xION

[princessofheart]

[Oh. Oh goodness. She hadn't had time to warn Riku about how the Xion here in the city with them was from much farther back on the timeline than them, and acted way differently than the Xion they were used to did. While a small part of her was kind of tickled that Xion had actually began to like her enough to want to protect her (though she wasn't sure what she thought she was currently protecting Kairi from) considering all the hard work she'd had to put forth so far in order for the black haired girl to give her the time of day, the bigger part of her was extremely alarmed that she was charging towards Riku with her keyblade in hand.]

W-wait!

[poppetstrings]

I said get away from her!

[She's not stopping. Xion charges right at Riku and swings her keyblade with as much force as she can possibly muster within her small frame. It was normal, after all, to protect someone you cared about, and she honestly believes Kairi might be in danger from him. She knows exactly what he's capable of, that he could probably cut her down as quickly as he had the first time, but she won't stop until she can't move he body. She's already decided that much.]

[He reacts as quickly as she expects -- but instead of pulling out his Keyblade, hers clashes against the metal of his right arm, the noise of the impact making the port at his shoulder shudder. The Way to the Dawn appears an instant later in his empty right hand as he jerks it back into his familiar fighting stance, and he can't help but look over his shoulder at Kairi for an instant, incredulous, before he looks back at Xion.]

What is wrong with you?!

[princessofheart]

Xion, stop!

[Kairi shoves her way between Riku and Xion much like Riku had done for her moments earlier, arms stretched out but with no weapon in hand. She didn't figure Xion would try to throw a blow while she was standing here, nor did she want to potentially scare her by pulling out her own keyblade. If she did get hurt though, so be it; she had bigger issues right now.]

Riku is my friend!!

[poppetstrings]

[Kairi is right to think that. Xion doesn't motion to attack, but she's clearly enraged by the fact Riku is there. Her teeth are grit together, shoulders hunched forward and ready to strike as soon as Kairi moves.]

He's not a friend!

[At all.]

Don't defend him, he's a bad person!

[resipiscent]

What is this about?

[He frowns, arms dropping to his sides. He's only going to defend, of course, and he wouldn't try to land a blow with Kairi in between them. A bad person... well, maybe once, but...]

Xion, what's wrong with you?
