There were skies that burst open
Who: Xion and Lea travelsthefarthest
Where: Kitchen area of Lea's apartment, then Xion's apartment so as to avoid waking the bitty
Summary: Xion and Lea have a lot of things to talk about still, things they couldn't talk about while a certain too-young-to-understand someone was awake.
Warnings: Standard Kingdom Hearts is Suffering disclaimer - possible mentions of being speared by Heartless and nearly self-sacrificial tendencies
There'd been several clues that not all was as it seemed. In addition to all the things they hadn't talked about simply because Roxas was too young and knew too little to understand - her not being a Nobody least among them, there was also the factor of the name change Ax- Lea had requested. Xion knew as well as he did that the "because I left the Organization" reasoning was more for Roxas' benefit than either of theirs. It made for a good excuse, but something else was going on here. He hadn't changed his name in all the time they'd been fugitives. Why start now?
Had something happened when they'd found Aqua?
There was also the matter of certain things they just... hadn't been able to discuss with Roxas there. Things that... would really be too much for him right now, having just arrived in Hinoto-Ri, having just found out Ax- Lea was still alive... She didn't want to burden him with all the knowledge of things that were going to happen - of what she was, what might happen... especially with what Riku remembered.
She hadn't found a chance to bring it up though, even though she was thinking about it. They were jammed all together in Lea's room, her and Roxas curled up on the bed and Lea taking a corner of the bedroom - maybe not the smartest of ideas, but... they'd figure something out soon. She could sleep in her room if they really needed to work something out. For now though, they were sleeping, or at least trying to in her's and Lea's case. Roxas had already clearly dropped off a while ago, if his slow, steady breathing was anything to go by.
Lea had gone to do... something out in the kitchen area, and he wasn't back yet. Hm...
Careful not to disturb Roxas, Xion slipped out from under the covers and tiptoed to the door out into the kitchen area, slipping out and shutting it behind her. That done, she turned around, looking for her friend.
"Ax- Lea?" she called out quietly, silently berating herself for the slip-up. This was going to take some getting used to...

no subject
"Yeah," she admitted, her voice soft as she curled up next to him, "Me too. I know... I know I wouldn't acutally be there, but..."
But that was the point. In that other world... there was no her. No one for him to remember. And all the things they'd done together, they wouldn't have happened. And all those times on the clock tower... How much would have been lost? And what about all the things that had happened since they'd gone on the run? The times she and Roxas saved Axel, the sparring she'd done with Kairi and Riku, them helping to find Aqua and her friends... what would've happened to that?
It's such a huge step for her. Before she wouldn't have thought she'd had enough worth to be worth saving. Now... she's glad she's not gone, even if there is a part of her that's guilty for all the problems it's caused.
For a little while, she doesn't say anything more, content to just... let things be quiet.
"I have a job here," she said finally, "At a pet store." It's not the same as Pluto, but...
