Who: Isa, Terra and Terra-Xehanort. Open to all!
Where: Outside Terra and Xehanort's apartments, then the Virgo Ward. (Feel free to assume you spotted them in a random store if you want to start a thread)
Summary: Xehanort pretty much planned a shopping trip for Isa, it won't hurt to take him up on that offer, right?
Warnings: Derpfaces being Derpfaces? Isa being confused?

Isa was unsure how he got into this, or if he should even take Xehanort up on the offer. Shouldn't he be avoiding him? None of this really made any sense to Isa. Oh well, if Xehanort wanted to help, he wanted to help. Far be it from Isa to be the one to push Xehanort down the wrong path.

After getting over his reluctance and hesitation, Isa headed down to the lower floor the other men lived on.

It didn't really take long to get ready at all, and soon enough Xehanort was waiting outside of his neighbour-and-facetwin's door. He'd given a light knock to let Terra know he was there, but was content enough to lean against the wall and wait rather than go inside.

Hearing the approach of someone, he looked up from where he was contemplating to see the blue-haired young man he'd spoken to earlier. "Hello," he said in greeting, giving a little wave.

When Terra opens his own door, he's dressed like he's prepared for the colder temperatures outside, with a brown scarf, dark brown leather gloves, and a simple dark gray coat. He starts to wave briefly at Isa, but pauses when he sees Xehanort's state of dress and frowns, not liking the implications. "You don't have a coat, do you?"

Or... anything to keep yourself from freezing. ... Facetwin, why.

Isa frowns when he sees the sight. This was escalating from confusing to outright wrong, in ways Isa can't quite articulate. Isa shook away those thoughts and approached the men.

"Am I too early?"

"Nnno," he replies, blinking for a moment. Weather... Terra looks as though he's dressed to be warm. "Is it terribly cold outside?"

At least Isa has a coat, even if he dislikes it. If nothing else, perhaps he could borrow it when new clothes had been obtained for him. Isa had no attachment to it, after all.

For the time being... "Shall we be off? Or is there anything last minute that needs to be taken care of?"

"It's January," he answers bluntly. He tilts his head and raises an eyebrow. "Outside of the mess with the Pyro Jacks and Jack Frosts, winter's usually cold."

He sighs, and turns right back around. "I'll see if I have an extra coat you can use."

At least he knows it's guaranteed to fit.

Isa doesn't really say anything to this. He just faces away and rubs the back of his neck.

He was never good at small talk and even if he was, what's there to talk about with Xehanort? Though he found himself awkwardly glancing back at Xehanort, wondering if he had anything to say.

"It's all right. If nothing else, if he" And a quick gesture to Isa "gets a new coat, I could just use his old one. If it fits, I suppose." He gives both of them a rather pleasant smile. "There's no reason to bring along more coats than we need. Let's just go quickly so we're not outside for too long."

Terra almost freezes when he hears Xehanort's suggestion. Somehow, the idea of him getting one of the trademark coats of Organization XIII just sends a chill down his spine.

Right. Listen to those instincts of yours, Terra. Don't let him get that coat. And since Isa didn't want the thing anymore, what could be done with it?

He heads to his closet and grabs a spare coat--tan in color instead of the dark gray he was wearing, and heads back to the two waiting outside his door. "Isa can figure out what to do with it after he gets a replacement."

A beat, then he hands Xehanort the extra coat and continues speaking. "I wouldn't be opposed to burning it."

You're not the only one who is disturbed by the thought of Xehanort getting his hands on the coat.

"You don't want to be associated with the people who wears this coat, trust me on this." Isa says, matter of fact, Xehanort probably wouldn't understand, but they didn't need him to have anything related to his future

"I'll decide what to do with it later, though... burning does sound like a plan." It would be cathartic, if nothing else.

That... seemed a rather... intense reaction to the fate of the coat, and Xehanort couldn't help but give them both a rather odd expression. "Isn't that a little... extreme? You could just donate it..."

With a bit of a sigh he slipped the coat that Terra provided on. "What sort of people were they? If you were part of them at one point, they couldn't have been that bad... right?" Yellow eyes suddenly fixed on Isa curiously.

Terra almost smiled once Xehanort accepted the extra coat, but his question just made him... pause again. And frown thoughtfully. How could either he or Isa answer that without opening a can of worms?

Carefully, he chooses his wording, and then replies. "From what another of their number told me a while ago, it isn't the people as much as it's the one in charge. He told them he was trying to help them, but he was only trying to trigger the destruction of the universe."

There. That... should hopefully drive the point home. It covered what he had heard from Axel in Promenade about Xemnas, and what he knew would happen if Kingdom Hearts were ever to be summoned, while explaining why being associated with such a group (even by proxy) would be a bad thing.

"He's right."

Isa crosses his arms and looks away, he wants to put the Organization behind him, not discuss them, or rather dwell on it, at least not at the moment. Let him settle in first, then he'll be able to talk about it.

Isa brings a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose, "Wasn't there somewhere we needed to be?"

An odd expression crossed Xehanort's face, and he shook his head. "Why would someone want to destroy the universe? That seems a little..." With a half-hearted shrug he turned back to Isa. "I can see why you want to divorce yourself from them. Being duped into that sort of scheme is definitely not something one would want to remember. Let's get you something better to wear right away!"

With that, he surged forward determinedly, starting for the stairs.

Well. That was... something.

Once Xehanort heads for the stairs, Terra can't help but look at Isa with a somewhat bemused expression on his face. "That went well."

Understatement of the year. He starts to make for the stairs himself, since letting Xehanort out of his sight during this little trip isn't a thing he wants to do. "C'mon. We shouldn't let him get too far ahead of us."

The sooner Isa gets a new coat, the better, right?

That sure was something alright.

"Yeah, well."

Isa shoots Terra a look of great uncertainty before following after Xehanort as well. Something about this just didn't feel right to Isa, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.
