Yeah you know it gets better (Forward-dated to tomorrow)

[attheclocktower]

Characters: Xion and a bunch of people INCLUDING YOU
Setting: Various people's rooms, then a variety of floors particularly Floor 15
Format: Either works! Starting in action but I'll match
Summary: Xion's had some of the first really good news that she's had in a while. And now that all the language issues have finally been sorted out, she's more than ready to share it. Additionally, she's finally getting some work done on something she's been working on all year.
Warnings: Nothing likely?

Private to Namine, Axel, and OU Sora

[Certain people will find a Xion knocking on the door of their room, sometimes with a more tentative expression than other times, depending on who it was. She had something important to talk to all of them about - in some cases more than one important thing.

But she could do it. She knew she could.]

Open!

[Today will see Xion around her usual haunts in the Tower - on Floor 1, eating meals, on Floor 39, running laps or going through several series of attacks and blocks - both with her Keyblade and hand-to-hand, or on Floor 38 reading a book.

However one particular place they'll find her is Floor 15, where they'll find her pulling a slightly oversized red sweater over her head. It's the culmination of several months' worth of work and at least four other shirts of varying types preceding it (and several other small sewing projects). It's just in time, too, given that the weather is starting to turn colder.

If she looks... slightly proud of herself, pinning her Turk pin to the front of the sweater to make sure it's still visible, well... that's because she is.]

Comments

[attheclocktower]

[Xion doesn't say anything for a moment. Talking with Namine about this had been awkward enough. She isn't sure she wants to see Sora's expression when she explains how much she risked to help him. To protect him. Maybe bringing this up was a bad idea.

But...

After a moment she lifted her head, though she was still reluctant to let go. Finally she disengaged herself, pulling back until she could look at him in the face, though she quickly glanced away.]

C-can I come inside? I'll explain there. Or we can go somewhere else.

[Just... somewhere where someone is less likely to stumble upon them and overhear this.]

[derping]

Yeah, of course you can come in.

[Sora steps back from the door, clearing a path for her to enter the room, and Xion will find that she's in luck. There's no one there but Sora, and he doesn't seem too worried about anyone barging in on them. Of course, he's also not really thinking about that as much as he's wondering what Xion came to see him for.

Still, he's not going to rush her right now - he'll just wait for her to explain when she's ready.]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion follows him into his room, grateful that it seems to be just the two of them. Trusting that it's okay, she goes and sits down on the edge of Sora's bed, leaving enough room if he wants to sit there too.

She looks down at the floor.]

Do you remember that one time... a couple months ago, where you came to visit and I was asking all those questions about the Tower?

[What would happen now that Sora had his memories back? Would he remember not remembering? She hoped so, otherwise this situation would be very difficult and awkward to explain.]

[derping]

[He does sit down, plopping right down beside her and listening intently when she starts talking.]

Hmm...

[It takes a minute for him to think - Sora can be a little slow to remember things like that, even without any memory gaps. A couple months ago...oh!]

Yeah, I think so. We were talking after everyone's bodies got switched around, and you ended up asking me a lot of questions for some reason. I think I remember asking you who...wait.

[And then he starts doubting if he remembers any of it right. Some of the answers he remembers giving don't really make much sense, and he's sure that he must be missing something, or getting his conversations mixed up.]

Did I seriously ask you who Jason was? Or am I thinking of the wrong time?

[Because how in the world could he forget that?]

[attheclocktower]

[There's a part of her that lets out a sigh of relief and another that seizes up in trepidation. She didn't have to explain some of it, but... he still hadn't understood what had happened.]

Yeah... you did ask, Sora. And... I know why.

[She bites her lip]

You remember, how I'm keeping you asleep back home, right?

[derping]

Because you have some of my memories, right?

[That conversation isn't hard for Sora to recall at all. It's still a little strange, to think of the sleeping person that Xion was talking about as him, even though the idea of his connection to Xion was pretty easy to get used to. Maybe he understood that connection much better than he understood the things that should have happened in his life that led up to it existing in the first place - even the stuff he had learned about sometimes still seemed like a weird, disjointed mess of a story about someone that he had only heard half of.

Still, Sora doesn't really understand where she was going with this.]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion nods]

We found out... that can happen here too. That's why you were forgetting things. Because I was absorbing your memories. I... I didn't want to, it was just... happening.

[She bites her lip, a little scared on how Sora will react. He'd been okay with what she was last time, but what about now, now that they knew she could affect him, the him here?]

But... not anymore. I asked the admins to fix it. And they did.

[derping]

So, you were absorbing my memories...and now you can't anymore?

[He says that as if he's just trying to make sure he understood her right - he doesn't look or sound upset, just a little surprised. Honestly, Sora has hardly formed a coherent thought on the fact that Xion was absorbing his memories when the last part of what she says fully sinks in, shoving any other reactions by the wayside.]

Wait, you went to the admins? But you're okay, right? They didn't hurt you or anything, did they?

[The words come out a little bit too fast, and he probably sounds a bit panicked, because he kind of is. The admins aren't exactly the best people ever - what if they had tried to do something bad to Xion while fixing her ability to absorb memories? She looked okay, but if she had been hurt just because she was worried about him...]
