Day 15 | ~ World's End Umbrella ~

[Like last time, Xion is searching out her friends. Anyone and everyone she talked to, all the people she met here -- She wants to meet with them, talk to them, find out if they're staying or leaving, say good-bye if it's the latter. Unlike last time, though, her spirits are higher. She can stay. She can stay and still be helpful, still search for the answers they've been looking for, stay and live, really live.

She's also searching for one person in particular. She has something to ask him -- to ask of him, to inform him of something, and she... Part of her is hopeful. Part of her is nervous. Another part of her... feels like she can't ask this of him. She shouldn't ask him to stay for her. She knows she's asking for Nathan, but that's what it feels like. She feels like she doesn't have the right to ask that of him. If he has something important to do at home, then she has no right at all. (If he has something important to do at home, and says no, then...) Xion takes a deep breath and lets it out. At the same time, she has to ask. She has to know. She has to find out for herself.

So, Luministi. How about one last conversation with Xion?]

I'm glad to hear it. You will be an excellent help to Nathan, I'm certain!

I'm sure of it!

Is there anything I can do for you before I go? Anything at all.

[Smiling sadly, she shakes her head slightly.]

Thank you for saying so.

[She takes a deep breath, and her smile becomes brighter.]

I'm so glad to have met you, Xion. Do take care, all right? Oh- and, here... I'm not sure if you'll use it, but just in case you have occasion too, you'll have one. It's a book mark. For keeping track of which page you're on when you're reading a book.

[She hands him a narrow strip of light purple silk, embroidered with small flowers. Somehow she'd thought of him when she'd seen it, and the design was still tasteful enough for a guy, she thought, even if purple might seem girly.]

You're welcome!

[And when he holds out the keychain, she makes a small exclamation of surprise.]

Oh, Xion! Thank you, but I couldn't possibly accept that, if it is part of your magic. It's too important!

[She reverently takes it with both hands and bows.]

Thank you. [She attaches the keychain to the zipper pull on the front of her bag, then holds it up with a smile.]

It's great, thank you! [She only hopes that it will somehow come with her, and that (even more improbably) she'll be able to remember him when she sees it.]
