[She's been here for nearly ten days now. It's very strange, and different. She's not used to feeling this... isolated. Back home, she'd always travelled with Roxas and Axel, and even at Disney Castle it always seemed more... together. If she'd felt lonely, or had a nightmare or something, she could go find one of her friends. Not quite so simple here - the only person she considered a friend she had from home didn't... didn't remember. Not really.

Sure, it was for a good cause, being here. But that didn't mean it was easy.]

It's really strange... there's a lot we have here that we don't have at home, but... there opposite is true too. And...

[Ugh no, this isn't helping. She's probably not even making sense.]

Sorry. I guess I don't know what I'm trying to say.

So... does... anybody have friends they miss who are back home?

[Aqua only gives a knowing look and a slightly bigger smile.]

A little bird told me.

[A white lie, really-- it had been one of the children who had told her about the wonders of sea-salt and asked her to try it once in a dream.]

The rest...came down to a few too many royalberry licks and magic.

[She makes a silly face at that one. Oh, she'd forgotten she'd get brain freeze if she ate it too fast.]

[Xion frowns in puzzlement. Little bird...? Though the latter part gets her to smile a bit. After a moment she looks back down at the ice cream. She and Roxas and Axel didn't get to eat as much anymore, because Twilight Town was too dangerous and there weren't many places that sold it.

As much as she'd love to start licking even now, they're still standing in her doorway]

Um...

[She steps back]

You can come in, if you want to.

[There's... not much though... maybe they'd be better off in the living room area...]

[Maybe one day Xion would get the reference.]

It's a small joke; meaning either someone once told me, or it's a lucky guess.

[We do not mention the nickname Hades gave her before she kicked his sorry toga-wearing butt back into the Underworld, okay.]

...Wouldn't we be better off in the living room area?

[No she doesn't have a mind link, she just knows that her apartment is small, too.]

[whereibelong]

Ohhh...

[See now that made sense. ... now she has to wonder though... did that mean somebody told her? But she was in the Realm of Darkness... unless it was that other place she'd mentioned?

Well, she could ask about it in a bit. Instead she nods, a little sheepishly.]

Y-yeah. Probably.

[And with that she'll let the door to her room close behind her as she heads over. It wasn't too far, at least. Disney Castle was bigger.]

[She smiled a bit privately to herself. if asked, she'd probably tell her at some time. Until then though, she would walk beside the younger girl.]
