Day 11 | ~ Finality ~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion is standing by the window and staring at the stars, hood down, one arm behind her so she can hold her elbow with her other hand. So many stars... So many more than she ever saw in Traverse Town.

Traverse Town. She's... She's going back there. Going back home. And once she's there... She needs to go back where she belongs. She needs to go back to Twilight Town, find Riku and Naminé and DiZ... and go back to Sora.

If she said she wasn't scared, she would be lying. She is. She knows this will be the last time she will see these stars, these people... The last time she'll get to see her friends here.

After a moment, she sighs softly and shifts her weight to one leg before turning and walking away from the window.]



[ooc: Xion is going to be seeking out everyone she's ever talked to so she can say good-bye and thank you. :D So have at her~]

[Sophie is just coming over to the windows when Xion turns around. she gives her a sympathetic smile] It is a lovely view, isn't it? If it weren't for everything that has happened here, I'd almost say it's a shame to have to leave it so quickly.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion pauses to smile back a little.] Yeah.

I... Despite everything, I think it... is still a shame.

[fortune_sought]

Perhaps... [steps up beside her, gazing out the window herself] Or parts of it are, at least.

Xion, what you said to the Mayor... [but she hesitates, glancing at Xion. she really isn't sure what to say in a situation like this, but she doesn't feel it's the sort of thing that can be ignored, either. she's just not certain how to deal with it]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. Her eyes turn back to the stars, and for a moment she doesn't say anything. When she does, her voice is quiet.]

It's true.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is quiet for a moment--awkward. she's not good at social situations at the best of times, and she's not terribly talented at dealing with her own feelings, either] Then...thank you, for helping to bring that awful Mayor to his senses.

Though it seems...a very unfair and...horrible thing...to be going home to.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion shakes her head.] It's... I couldn't have done it if it was just me.

[She exhales slowly.] It... has to be done. So... It's okay. I'm okay with it.

[fortune_sought]

And neither could any of the rest of us.

[aghast] Okay!? I certainly hope you're not "okay"! I wouldn't be.

[but, realising that may have come out a bit strong, she pauses, looking awkward. tries to tone down her temper] Not to say that it's not...necessary. Simply that...there's no reason you should need to be "okay" with it.

Take two <3

[Fuu comes across Xion not far from those windows. Ah, how nice to see him with his hood down! She calls out cheerfully,]

Xion!

<3~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion turns and offers Fuu a small smile.]

Hi.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Returning the smile she walks right up and clasps Xion's hands in hers.]

We made it. And if I may say, I think it's largely thanks to you. What you said back there, to the Mayor... It was very brave of you to share your heart so honestly.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[She blinks in surprise at the contact, but doesn't pull away.]

I... [Xion closes her eyes and shakes her head.] I don't think I had that much to do with it.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Heh. So modest! He's so cute! But, she's 100% serious.]

You most certainly did. [Her face becomes a bit more serious, but still gentle.] What you said touched the Mayor. I have no doubt about it. It certainly touched me.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion shakes her head again.]

It was all... I could do. I'm not smart enough to do what you and everyone else did.

[bit_impossible]

[steps up beside her, near her, his hands in his pockets.]

It's beautiful, isn't it? If I'm reading the stars correctly, taking into account possible movement of the galaxies and different celestial bodies, we're looking at what humans call the Large Magellanic Cloud. They're a long, long way from home.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Magellanic... [Xion says the word slowly, as if trying it out, but then she smiles a little.]

We're all a long way from home...

[bit_impossible]

True, too true. Well--[he cocks his head to the side, his eyes just staring out into the vastness of space]--I always have been. Even now, if it existed in this universe, we'd still be far away from my home.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion looks up at him, slipping her hand quietly into his.]

... Doctor?

[bit_impossible]

[turns his head to look at her, his hand unconsciously tightening a bit around hers] Hmm?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

If... I didn't have to go back... If I...

Could... If I didn't have to go back, could I go -- Would I be able to go with you?

[desertdaggers]

[to hair-ruffle or not to hair ruffle. :|a

…well, why not. He's not really trying to hide as he comes towards her, offering a smile.]

Hey.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion smiles back a little.]

Hi.

[desertdaggers]

Seems like we made it out okay. That's a relief. And the people do seem pretty nice.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Everyone's really kind.

[desertdaggers]

It's a little strange after being stuck in the one place, but I'm not objecting. Besides, I don't think we'd all have met otherwise, would we? It'd be nice to have more time, but I guess we've all got things to do. Maybe someday, though. [looking up at the stars]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Things to do... Xion looks back at the stars, too.] Yeah. Maybe...
