seasaltkeys | Day 26 - Attempted Private Text to Xion/sort of hackable

Bye. [ She herself feels a bit unsure... but she wants to see him again. ]

See you tomorrow.

[ooc: Did you want to set up a log or just continue it here and forward date it?]

[ ooc: It'd be faster to do it here! I'm fine with it. ]

[Roxas had almost forgotten about travelling in the time he'd stayed in Goldenrod. He felt a little weary, and cold, but he and Namine had managed to make it to Violet City with little issue. Roxas stopped by the pokemon center first to heal his pokemon, and set up somewhere where they could stay. He wanted to save his money, since he planned on continuing to Ecruteak soon after this]

[After completing those tasks, he headed out to the Sprout Tower. He wasn't sure what to expect with this. It wasn't going to be a chance meeting like it was with Lea. This was planned, with someone who was supposed to be one of his best friends, even if he couldn't remember her. He wasn't sure what to think, and so he approached the tower tentatively, Pikachu on his shoulder.]

[ Xion pulls her hood tighter over her head to fend off the cold. She's sitting on the steps to the Sprout Tower with Axel sitting next to her to keep her warm. She wonders what will happen when she and Roxas meet. Obvious that he doesn't remember her, but...

Her thoughts are interrupted when she hears someone come near and she sees Roxas come up... And her breath is held in her chest and she remembers fighting him, and all she can do is stare at him in almost shock. ]

[Roxas paused just before he crossed the bridge. Xion was there, waiting for him. He took a breath, willing himself forward. He could do this. After all, this was someone who was supposed to be his friend, so why was he so nervous?]

Hey.

[He gives a small wave]

[ She gives him a slow blink, not quite returning the gesture yet. It was so easy to talk to him over the Gear, why is she choking up now? Xion did feel inwardly happy to see him again, safe, not pulled by the Organization's strings, but for all the things she put him through herself...

Her eyes avert themselves for just a moment before she looks back up again and tries to plaster a small smile on her face and waves back. ]

Hello, Roxas.

[He could feel it again. That feeling that he should know her. Better than he did. He continued over the bridge until he was standing right in front of her]

Xion. [He glances down to the ground as well, trying to find the right words]

I'm glad you made it.

I said I would try to meet up with you. [ She stands, Axel looking up at them both and wondering if it was time to leave now.

She looks around. ] I thought Namine was coming, too?

She's back at the center. We just got into town and then I came here.

Did you want to head back there?

[ She nods. ] It'd be best.

[Nod. Roxas turns to go back to the pokemon center.]

Should Namine be a part of this conversation?

[ She follows him. ]

Yes.

[Another nod. Roxas wants to ask why, but he figures he'll get the answer soon enough]

[ She's just walking in silence beside him, occasionally looking down at Axel following right beside her. She smiles a little at him, but for the most part, there's a tightness in her chest that can't really unwind right now. Soon, though, her eyes catch sight of the Pokemon Center coming into view. ]

[Roxas sighs. He feels like he should at least say something]

How do you like Johto so far?

[ooc: I let Namine-mun know that she's needed, but since she's busy I figured we could just take it slow]

It's interesting, to say the least. It's really unique.

[ ooc: Gotcha! ]

Yeah, it's a lot different from any other world I've been in. But I like it here.

You've been here for a while, right?

About eight months. It doesn't feel like that long though. I've only gotten as far as Goldenrod city.

Will we be going there after?

I was actually hoping to go to Ecruteak City next. It's where the next gym is, and I have to get the badge there.

How long would it take to go there?

I don't know. A couple days? Maybe a week?

I hope the weather turns out a bit better by then. [ Shivers. ]
