Mmmhmm that sounds good to me! I'll meet you then!
[The next day she came as promised to see him. She even wore a bathing suit in case they wanted to swim, but more importantly, she made sure to bring some buckets and shovels for sandcastles. Now all she needs is for him to show up.]
[ Dio spots her, and bounds over to her, waving a hand. He's ready for so,e beach time too ... after having asked how exactly to prepare for it. So he too is ready in a bathing suit and a ridiculous looking tropical shirt. ]
[It's about mid morning when Sora calls. He sounds a little tired like he just woke up, but he seems his usual self. There's a flicker of curiosity when the connection starts. He seems to be in his room at the house and Pollux the wyvern is curled up in his lap.]
[Naminé sighs. This is not how she wanted this talk to happen at all. She wished that Roxas hadn't mentioned anything, but it was inevitable. They both deserved the truth.]
Sora... I think we should talk about this in person. Do you think you could come over?
[Because she worries who might hear the conversation at his home.]
[She's been waiting patiently, a wary smile on her face. She motions for him to follow her to the kitchen once his shoes are off. There's some hot tea waiting for them.]
Thanks for coming over. I thought this...would be better I guess.
You've never met her. She was gone before you woke up because you couldn't wake up without her.
[She struggles to meet his eyes.]
Xion was made from your most important memories. You wouldn't have been able to function without them. And... she didn't want to be used by the Organization. It was her choice to return to you.
[Sora feels a confliction of emotions, not really sure how to feel about all that. From what she's saying, Xion is a lot like Roxas as being a vital part of his heart that he can't be awake without.]
... So that's why Roxas got so upset at me when I said it doesn't matter what happens to me. He was worried about her.
[She reaches out to him, putting her hand on his.]
I don't think that's the whole truth. Yes, Roxas would be heartbroken if something happened to Xion. But I'm sure he worries about you too. We all do; I would be so sad if something happened to you.
I think that's something Xion got from you. She acted a little rashly, and in the end, it really hurt Roxas. He might not be able to remember properly, but I think the pain is still there.
