[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?

[Xion makes a small, noncommittal noise, trying to ignore how her eyes watered some, rather grateful that the video feed wasn't on. It made sense that it wouldn't be that simple but... She sometimes felt like she didn't know herself that much, she can't even begin to guess how to help herself for something like this. She wasn't even sure if sharing memories would work because... the one time she'd really been out of Axel and Roxas' company for any stretch of time was while she'd been travelling with Riku and she and Riku had only really spoken so much. But again... she still didn't know what would help. If she did...

Well, she wouldn't be making this message.

Visiting sounds nice though. Visiting means not being by herself in a tiny bare room, having someone else to talk to and maybe even distracting herself a little. But mostly feeling less alone.]

S-sure. Or I can come to your room.

[Either or. She scrubs at her eyes with the palm of her hand.]

[Xion...

She paused for a brief moment, simply listening at the silence. It made sense that she wouldn't like to be alone, because that's part of being a Keyblade wielder: they were always weaker when isolated, even though so many would never truly understand the burden they carry in trying to protect the worlds they love.]

Alright. I'll be right there.

[Aqua doesn't say much else over the network, but she knocks on the door two minutes later.]

Okay.

[And in those two minutes, Xion will be rubbing at her eyes and trying to hide any evidence of... emotional "outbursts". Maybe in time she'd be a bit more open with her feelings but for now... Aqua is still a stranger in some respects, despite Xion knowing of and looking for her back home.

When Xion answers the door, only the slightest redness around her eyes hints at anything.]

Hey.

[Outburst schmoutburst. Displays of emotion were just that and completely fine. At least in her opinion. though she can understand why some were more hesitant than others... She herself had been at one point, and still was to some.

She smiles faintly, letting the kindness shine through. Xion needed it.] Hey.

[She looked a little tired (and maybe still has a few bits of frost in her hair), but she holds out something. ...wait is that a scooped version of sea salt ice cream.]

I thought you could use one of these.

[Xion's eyes go wide when they see the ice cream. The color is way too familiar to be anything else. She accepts the ice cream and stares at it for a few moments, before looking back up at Aqua]

How did you...

[They'd talked before sure but she hadn't mentioned liking sea-salt, so far as she can remember...]

[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.]

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.]
