Curious how it stings... (Backdated to the 23rd)

[whereibelong]

Who: Xion, Sora, Aqua, and open
Where: Xion's apartment (6-07), then the 6th floor living room area
Summary: Lea's gone. Cue emotional fallout.
Warnings: Aaaaangst

[Xion is in her room, not Lea's, which is unusual enough, given that it's still early in the morning. Though really, it's not Lea's room anymore. It's not anybody's.

Because Lea was gone.

Maybe Xion had work today. She should call in sick, or something, she knows, but she can't seem to muster up the energy. She's lying limply on her bed, clutching her starfish pillow to her chest. Lea had been acting strange, sure. But she hadn't... hadn't thought he'd just... disappear. Why? Why would he leave her here alone? Especially after Roxas had gone such a short time ago? Would she keep losing people she cared about until she had no choice but to abandon this place to see them again?

It'll take a lot of knocking for her to even acknowledge that someone's there, let alone answer the door. Thank goodness she has certain people who are persistent enough to do just that.]

-----------

[Later, Xion can be found curled up on a couch in the living room of the Pisces floor six apartments, still clutching her starfish pillow, a light blanket wrapped around her shoulders (this area of the apartments been warm lately, which had been good for Lea's sake), and holding a picture the Namine from home had drawn of herself, Roxas and Axel.

She's doing better thanks to Sora's and Aqua's efforts, but still looks pretty down. Cheer up?]

[[ooc; In the open section, it should be noted that Aqua and Sora are both nearby and may threadjack]]

[Riku arrives sometimes in the late afternoon, he hasn't been feeling all too cheerful the whole day either... Lea might not be from he same timeline as him, but... he's an ally... a friend regardless of that.

Still he knows (ḱ̴̀̕ņ͢͞o̶͘͢w̢̡͠ş̛͟) that Xion is the one who's been hit the hardest by his disappearance (eś͝p̕ȩ̶̵c̴i̧á̶ļ͝ļy̸̧̡ ̧g̵͘i̵͟vȩ͘͏ń͝ ̨͠t̕͡h҉͟á́͡t ̸̢R̴o͢͡͞x͡as,̨͞ t̵̢o̧ó,̴̧h͠a̸̛̕d̨͢ ̢̛d͢͟͞is̕a̴p̶̢p͟͜ę̷a̷͝r̀e͞d ̴n͘͞o҉͢t ̛t̨͡ó̵̶ó̕ ̨͢lo̧ǹ̴̀g̕͘ ag̢͝o͘͝ ̛as̢͢ ̧w͏e̛̛l҉̷l), and even though things are still maybe just a little strange between the two of them...

Well, she's a friend. There's only so long before he decides that he definitely needs to check on her.

So here he is, leaning against the back of the couch she is sitting on, arms crossing as he asks quietly:]

Care for some company?

[Xion glances up, from where she was looking down at Namine's picture. She isn't... sure how to handle company right now, but she does know that - as much as she wouldn'tve admitted it earlier, being around Aqua and Sora and everyone else who's come to visit has helped... at least a little bit.

She nods]

Sure.

[He keeps standing where he is, eyes drifting to the ground and he tries to find something comforting to say. But... truth to be told... he doesn't know what to say. He doesn't know Xion, no matter how familiar his heart says she is to him, no matter what small pieces of memory had returned to him in his dreams so far... disconnected... disjointed... not enough to help him out in any case.

...He remembers the way she had reacted when he had told her about his lack of memory of her though, the thought that there was a place where there wasn't any memory left of her. Not within him. Not within Lea either.

It couldn't be easy to think about.

And so he says nothing for now... there really isn't anything to be said, is there?]
