Day 35 [Action; Open to Namine and Xion; Otherwise Closed]

[It's a normal day at Minnie's house in Olivine City. Roxas has just finished cleaning the kitchen, so he's hanging out on his bunk with Sparky, sort of listening to the radio, sort of reading a map. He's trying to plan out the next stage of his journey, as he's starting to feel the need to travel again. At least, before it snows or something like that. There's still two more badges to get after all.]

You're already worried about the competition. Teaching me would just get in the way.

But would you want to try?

I wouldn't mind teaching you.

[She looks back and forth between them, a little speechless, before bowing head.]

I... don't know. I don't want to be helpless anymore but... Back at home, it's not like I have a Keyblade like both of you do.

That doesn't mean you can't have one here, in Johto.

[ She smiles reassuringly at Namine. She can understand the feeling of not wanting to be helpless. ]

Xion's right. And we can probably come up with a really cool design to!

[There's a pause as she glances between them again, before sighingand nodding, forcing a smile on. She knows they're not going to drop the subject until they convince her.]

... alright.

[ She smiles widely at Namine's answer, then makes a motion towards the stairs. ]

I'll be right back.

[ Zips up stairs, looks for her Keyblade, then comes back. ]

[While Xion's gone, Roxas will give Namine a slightly concerned look.]

You don't have to, if you don't want to. I mean...I just think it would be a good thing...if you knew how to protect yourself if you don't have your pokemon with you. Or something.

[He sits up a bit more to dig out his keyblades.]

Mm, it's alright though.

... I know I won't have one back in our world. ... but if this place taught me anything, it revokes almost everything I know about our world. Even the fact that I'm existing as a separate person.

[She offers Roxas a smile in return.]

I think this is one more thing that's good about it. So, I'll give it a try.

[ Steps down from the stairs with her unpolished wooden Keyblade and smiles at both blondes. ]

Ready?

[ Shakes her Keyblade a bit. ]

[Roxas smiles at Namine, and then at Xion, before rolling off the bed and grabbing his keyblades.]

Let's do this. Namine, do you want to come watch?

U-um, sure.

[She'll follow along, still slightly apprehensive, but determined to not ruin things for her friends, at least.]

[ She nods to the both of them and walks outside onto the beach. Then she reminds herself that she's going to fight Roxas... but- no, no. It isn't like that. This is just a friendly spar, not like their last encounter.

She grips her Keyblade a bit tighter and tries a small smile. ] I'm ready.

Right. We should head outside then.

I don't think Minnie would want us fighting in here.

Mm.

Come along then.

[She picks up as many of their pokemon as she can carry, which, with her arm capacity, consist of just Star and Sparky, shuffling the others out like a mother hen.]

[ By the time they're all out, Xion's already doing some stretches Lightning told her to do. Once Roxas is set a good distance from her, she slips into her typical stance, so similar to Sora- but she knows no other way.

She gives a nod. ]

[Oh wow that's unnerving. If he wasn't using two keyblades he'd have the same stance.

Still, he'll take the first move and charge forward!]

[And she sits down to watch, this time mentally paying close attention to how they fight. Well, she did promise she'd try it.]

[ She's never seen Roxas dual-wield like that, but she's already cautious. She dodge rolls his first strike and goes to swing at his side. ]

[Roxas adjusted the grip on one of his keyblades to block it, but the strike still forces him a step back. He pushes Xion back and goes for another attack.]

[... she's half in mind to cover her eyes at this point. The two of them fighting just brings back a not so good memory. They'll be fine, thy'll be fine...]

[ With two, Xion feels she has to defend on all sorts of spots on her body, be aware of what she and Roxas are doing.

His style... It's changed with this. His stance and form seemed far more aggressive than she last remembers. She grits her teeth when she dodges one Keyblade, but has to quickly bring up her own to block the other. ]

[He had a lot to be angry about when he developed this style okay?

He'll swing down with his other keyblade, once again adjusting his grip.]
