Belief over Misery, I've seen the Enemy

[whereibelong]

Who: Xion and Terranort
Where: Scorpio District
Summary: Hanging out and blowing off steam.
Warnings: Probably nothing

[She's had a lot much more free time, what with only being able to do light work, and a lot more to think about it in, with the absence of so many of her friends. She... couldn't help but be worried. Despite Aqua being a Keyblade Master and her teacher. Despite everything Kairi had said about her and Namine being tough, and ready to handle anything. It was just... hard not to. And she didn't like sitting and thinking about it. So, wandering she goes, as she's done sometimes ever since Roxas and Axel and Lea left.

Scorpio district at least had a fair bit in the way of distractions. With the resulting loss in hours, she has less spending money, though she isn't sure she'd want to be inside right now anyway. There's always so much to see outside anyway - from artists to musicians to sculpture and even the area's own architecture. There's still so much new to find, even though she's been here a few times already.

Currently, she's watching a troupe of acrobats, eyes following their movements, letting the motion drive other, less welcome thoughts on her mind.]

[While the library was his favourite place to be, he had lately taken to Scorpio District as a source of amusement and distraction. Exploring the bizarre architecture and taking in the interesting cultural hodgepodge that made it up kept him entertained and fed his need to understand and know. It was full of things he was building a growing appreciation for - art, sculpture, music...

He had finished exploring one of the exhibits and was making his way back to one of the strange buildings - he had something of a vendetta with it, and was determined to explore it to the end and unlock its secrets - snack in hand. Having a job had given him a bit of income, which he was grateful for as it meant not needing to rely on the others.

Passing along one of the busy streets filled with performers, he thought he saw someone familiar...]

Xion! You're here, too?

[whereibelong]

[Xion was a little surprised to hear her name called, but upon seeing who it was, raised her good arm in a wave.]

Xehanort! [She smiled, a little ruefully] Yeah, I thought I'd get out of the castle for a while.

[There was little to do there right now it felt except talk and worry and a few other things that really failed to keep them from doing the first two.]

What are you doing here?

[terra_nullius]

[Acknowledged, he returned the wave, coming over to speak with her directly.]

I don't blame you... [It's stifling, among other things...] How have you been doing? How's your arm?

[He smiles broadly, gesturing around them with his free hand.] Enjoying the district! There's a lot to take in, and some interesting parts to explore. I've been learning a bit being here...

[whereibelong]

[She shrugs her good shoulder, smiling wryly]

Okay. About... the same as usual. I can't wait to get this off, though.

[She has her own reasons, though stifling is a fairly decent way of putting it. The worry surrounding the household was stifling in its own way, made it difficult to think or do much else. Or maybe that's just how it was for her. She isn't sure.

Seeing him happy is really nice, though.]

There's always so much to see and do, isn't there?

[She admits, she hasn't had much time to look at or learn about art in all of her world-hopping.]

[terra_nullius]

I can just imagine. [He's glad he's never had to have anything like that. It looks distinctly uncomfortable, even without the limiting factor.]

It's nice... being able to get away and to learn about things. [He nods emphatically in agreement. If there's worry in the household, he hasn't really been exposed to it, yet.] Were you planning to do anything in specific?

[whereibelong]

[She shakes her head]

Not really. I usually just wander around and watch the people they have out here, or look at some of the buildings and things there are.

[Maybe she would go into one of the museums or concerns someday, but right now her taste in fine art is a developing thing, and she's also trying to conserve her money. As it was, there was still plenty to see and do outside as of yet.]

[terra_nullius]

Would you like to go together?

[Having someone else around always makes things more interesting, if nothing else...]

[whereibelong]

[She smiles brightly]

Sure!

[Going with friends was always better than going by yourself. That only left the question of...]

Was there somewhere you had in mind?

[terra_nullius]

[Well that makes him brighten up a bit. Hooray for friendship!]

I was going to go over to the bizarre architecture. The one building I found had a door that I was trying to get to. Of course, we can do something else if that isn't your cup of tea. It's not going anywhere.

[whereibelong]

[Xion shakes her head]

No, that sounds fine. Was there something strange about where the door was?

[Truth be told, she's rather curious now. He'd said he was trying to get to it, and bizzare architecture... was it out of reach, or something? But why would you make a door that was difficult to get to unless it wasn't really a door at all? Then again it was hard to tell with Hinoto-Ri in general sometimes.]

[terra_nullius]

[He shook his head; it was hard to explain.]

Have you seen those buildings?
