Day 15 | ~ World's End Umbrella ~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[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?]

[surprised, Sophie accepts the object, holding it up to see it better] This is beautiful, Xion. What is it?

It's a keychain. My weapon, the Keyblade, changes form depending on what keychain is attached. This one turns the Keyblade into a form called Rejection of Fate.

[fortune_sought]

[rejection of...well, that's appropriate. Sophie is really quite taken aback] Oh, my... Thank you. Really, very much! But are you sure you don't need this with you?

[Exactly why she chose it C:]

Yeah, I'm sure. I use Aubade, Oathkeeper, and Oblivion more than anything else now, so it's okay.

[fortune_sought]

If you say so... [she looks at it one more time, then stows it safely in her sewing pocket] Thank you. I'll be sure to keep it with me.

Xion...good-bye.

[...

Xion all but rushes forward to hug Sophie.]

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is surprised, but she quickly moves to wrap her arm around her, hugging her tightly back]

"and i knew that you were a truth i would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all"

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I'll miss you.

[fortune_sought]

[softly] I'll miss you, too.

Do take care of the others who stay, will you?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion nods.] I will. Most definitely.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie nods as well, pulling gently away] I'm certain you will do. [she pauses, then adds, one last time:] Thank you for everything, Xion. Good-bye.
