1st Shell - Open like a lemonade stand in summer
Who: Xion and open to errybody
Where: Xion's room/hallway, then around Pisces and Virgo wards
Summary: Xion arrives in Hinoto-Ri and engages in standard new arrival procedures, by which we mean gaining her bearings and getting supplies. And then derps about puppies.
Warnings: Probably nothing. Except puppies.
Xion stood before the door to the room she'd been assigned, holding her key and... just thinking. The only other place she'd had a room of her own was Disney Castle, and now this. She hasn't seen any sign of her friends thus far, though she isn't sure if it's too much to expect they'd come here. It was all strange and happening so fast and while a part of her was saying it was the right thing to do she still felt... buffeted around, moved faster than she was ready for.
There was just something so... permanent about getting a room of her own. She can leave if she wants but she still... It's ridiculous. She should just go in already. She's been standing there long enough it probably looks strange to people nearby. And yet still she's hesitating.
---
Later, Xion took to the streets, keeping a wary eye all around. She's not... actively hiding. She doesn't even have her coat on, since it would probably stick out. But she's still being careful. It sounded like this city was the kind of place where you would want to be anyway.
In the Virgo ward, she headed to a grocery store her way through food, and those who are more experienced might note that what she's collecting are foods that require little to no cooking. She also stopped at a more general convenience store, looking for other supplies she might need. It's strange for her, shopping like this - she's used to getting all of their supplies from a Moogle, usually, and it was still no more than they would really need for camping for a few days. How did one shop for furniture, or that sort of thing, given how bare her apartment was?
As she was walking back towards Pisces, though, she spotted something that made her stop, walk over and almost press her nose against the glass - it was a pet store, with some of their adoptable dogs in a display in the window.
It's probably the first time she's smiled since she arrived, but she can't help it. They're so cute-!

For now, she stepped up to the window beside the black-haired girl and glanced inward at the puppies trying to claw up the glass and loping over one another to get attention. The pair could even hear the little high pitched barks of excitement at the sight of new people to lavish them with love.
"You look ready to adopt one, Miss," Arturia said with a smile. She couldn't help it. The way the girl was looking at them was kind of cute.
no subject
She ducked her head and shook it, "I can't, really. I only just got here."
She'd put her hand on the glass, and one of the puppies reached up and scrabbled at it with its paws.
"Maybe later, though." If there was time. She had no idea how long she'd be here, and a part of her felt bad at the idea of getting too comfortable here, when she would be needed home, when things were said and done.
no subject
Then again, she'd taken in her cats before knowing if she could care for them simply because they needed help. Admittedly, the situation was much different than a bunch of dogs in a window that were clearly already well cared for, but that was beside the point.
"Ah, forgive me. My name's Arturia. I arrived here a few weeks ago."
no subject
At the introduction though, Xion stood up, nodding a little shyly. "I'm Xion. And... I just got here today." Thus why it felt much too soon to be adopting pets or anything. Xion didn't even know for sure how long she would be here, how long helping this world might take.
"It's... nice to meet you," she's a little hesitant - she's still... not used to a lot of this.
no subject
"Would you like me to show you around? I don't know the city too well yet, but I know enough to show you the basics." The restaurants, the best spots to train, and Arturia felt that, if anything, giving a tour would help her figure out the locations she needs to learn more about.
