007 ♃ A promise kept...
Characters: Sheba and Xion! + Xion's roommates, maybe?
Setting: Xion's room - 1-01.
Format: Action to start but I'll switch if you want to.
Summary: Backdated to the day after the Little Finger game. Sheba made Xion a promise, and she's going to keep it.
Warnings: Xion is missing a good chunk of her hand and arm so if that grosses you out, don't read? As per usual, I'll edit if anything else comes up.
[Easy enough to remember, Sheba had said. And it was. First level, first room - it really didn't get much simpler than that.
Sheba stares at the door for a few moments. What should she say when she sees her? "Look, I made it out?" That sounds almost a little callous. But it's true, regardless of how it happened. She is here now.
Just thinking about it wasn't doing much, though. She raises her hand to the door and knocks.]

Gaaah sorry for the delay also let me know if the hugging isn't okay and I'll edit
When there's a knock on the door, Xion pushes herself up from her seat on her bed to go open it and peek outside... her expression changing from nervousness to relief in an instant]
You're okay!
[Sheba will then find one keybitty clinging to her tightly]
No worries! Sorry for the delay too, I got dragged out by family all of a sudden @_@
[Sheba's eyes widen, and she reaches around Xion to pat her on the back a little awkwardly. She wasn't really expecting the hug... but maybe she should have been. A moment later she smiles, though, not having yet seen that Xion's injury from the dream has carried over to reality.]
I promised I would be, didn't I? I'm glad to see giving you the finger worked. I was worried it wouldn't, for a little bit.
And now that my hiatus is finally done /)~(\
Yeah. It worked fine. [Her smile fades after a moment into something more worried]
Nothing too bad happened, right? After... after I left?
[It was almost impossible to hope that nothing bad had happened, given the Tower, but... Sheba being here means she must've gotten out okay, right? It was hard to tell with Ruana and her games... the admin was so unpredictable.]
Welcome back! c:
[It's definitely a relief to see Xion in front of her, here in the Tower instead of in that crazy dream. At the other girl's question, Sheba hesitates, then shakes her head.]
Nothing too bad happened. We looked for more of them, and then we got out.
[A lie? Maybe. There was a lot she wasn't saying, like that there were some who didn't make it out. But she doesn't see any reason to worry Xion with that now.]
no subject
[Xion frowns, not entirely convinced. That seems... awfully tame for one of Ruana's games. Then again... she thought about her hand, which still twinged slightly against the stitches that Xion had done.
Maybe the looking had been bad enough.]
Well, that's good. I'm glad.
[She slips her bad hand behind her. Now just... didn't seem like a good time to bring it up.]
not done with my essay yet but whatever also sorry this is so late
[She smiles easily, leans back a little on her heels and looks up. She hadn't really thought she'd ever be glad to see the Tower, but it was infinitely better than... whatever that place in the dream had been.]
I don't think I'm going to sleep for a week, at least.
no subject
Me either. Or at least... not until I'm too tired not to...
[It's a bit of an exaggeration on her end at least. Or maybe Tower life has simply worn her out so much that she doesn't have that much endurance, sleep-wise. It's hard to tell.]
Um... do you want to come in?
[It's kind of awkward, standing out here in the hall.]
no subject
[Standing out here is awkward, and if Sheba's going to ask about her arm - because she just doesn't know if escaping the dream would have healed it or not, and Xion's got her arm behind her back so she can't see, and after that creature from the doghouse she doesn't want to try reading her mind - she doesn't want to do it out in the hall where someone might be able to come up and hear them.]
...and if your roommates don't. I wouldn't want to intrude.
no subject
[Besides, she's had Shion over many a night, given that she can't always stay in his. She had a feeling that if she hadn't convinced him to go get some supplies to help with her hand and food so they could stay in their rooms for now, that he'd probably have wanted to come too.
That being said, she steps back towards her corner of the room, to let Sheba pass into the room itself.
For all that she's been there for over a year, Xion's corner of her room is still simple. It's not like she's had much chance to decorate, nor has there been much to decorate with. But the most notable thing are the shells poking out of odd places, and her trunk, which is currently open.]
no subject
[She smiles and steps through the doorway and into the room. She can't help but look curiously at the corner that she assumes must be Xion's - she definitely would have expected more from someone who's been here as long as she has, but then, she can't really think of what could be used to decorate the place anyway. This isn't like home, where one can just stroll into a marketplace and find things to bring back.
The shells pique her interest, and she gestures to one.]
You like seashells, Xion?
