Sixth sunrise

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy looks worried again, although now it's for entirely different reasons. She whines, and holds up a drawing depicting the little puppy version of her, complete with a little sun, and a question mark.]

[Has anyone seen her son, Chibi? She hasn't seen or smelled him around the ship since they finished the riffing.]

Sorry this is so long. And for Ammy's confusion. And for sadness. ;_;

[Well, if Ammy's sure...Xion shoos the Cambots away for some privacy. Ammy's not talking and will warn her if anyone gets too close, so she can name names, right?]

Not all of it's bad. MakubeX said he likes me as more than a friend.

[She smiles a little wistfully]

Only, I've only ever had friends, and I don't even know if I can feel the same way because Replicas don't have hearts. If..If I could, I don't even know how I would know. I told him I could try, but if I can't, I don't want him to get hurt.

Only, sometimes, even when you do your best, you still end up hurting people, I guess.

[Her expression saddens and she sounds like she's having to work hard to control her voice.]

Roxas...I thought if I faded back into Sora, then maybe he'd have a chance. A little more time at least. Only the Organization wouldn't allow that and in the end it was him or me.

[Her voice falters for a moment, then she continues more quietly.]

I didn't want it to be me. So I made sure he made sure it was him.

[Ammy snuggles a little bit closer to Xion as she talks; clearly this stuff is bothering her. While listening, she nudges at Xion's chest a bit with her nose. It's not just the heart that matters...it's what she does to others. If she can love a friend, she can love someone in a different way, surely. If she knows not to hurt a friend, then she should be able to not do it.]

[The rest of it, however, Ammy finds a little confusing. She knows both Roxas and Sora were here, and were Xion's friends. But why would she have to give herself up to give either of them time? She gave Xion more of a curious look.]

Didn't want to write the whole infodump--this is long enough, and I think you know the story. :3

[Xion gives a startled laugh when Ammy nudges her.]

I guess you think I should give it a try, huh, girl?

[The thought had her smiling as she scritched Ammy's ears for a moment. Then it faded, but her voice didn't waver as she answered Ammy's curious look.]

I'm sorry, I wasn't explaining very well. Roxas, Sora, and I...we're all connected, but the way in which we are means that really we're all part of a whole in a way; one that wasn't meant to be split up. It was Sora first, then Roxas split from him, the I was made from some of Sora's memories. Only, I kept taking memories from him...

[She managed a basic explanation--it was getting easier, the more often she told it and the longer she was here. The difficult part was at the end, and her voice grew softer as she added what Roxas had told her.]

From what Roxas said, the Organization found me and sent me to fight him. In the end, I lost--I think because I didn't really want to win.

[Ammy listens through the entire long explanation. While she can buy all of this happening of them being the same person and splitting (since technically speaking, she, Chibi and Shiranui are all the same being), here it sounds like this was not supposed to happen; that someone messed with them for their own ends. And worst of all, that Xion got caught in the middle and had to make some very difficult choices. That's enough of a burden for a god, let alone a mortal...and a young girl, too.]

[As to the solution to that...she doesn't really know. However, she just offers her her best encouraging look. She is still here now, and she has the time to be friends without having to fight them. And it seems like she is using that time for happiness, which is the best that can be done.]

[It hadn't been supposed to happen, and it was someone messing with them for his own goals. Which, now that she's away from the situation, is kind of starting to make Xion think she knows what "angry" feels like. The best she can do now, though, is use the time she has with them to enjoy their company and try to be as happy as she can. Maybe the others right and they can even think of a way for them to at least remember her once they've left.

At Nami's encouraging look, she smiles and gives the wolf's ears a scritch, then hugs her.]

Thanks, girl.

[yabigfurball]

[Encouragement is all she can offer for now, so she's happy to give it. And besides, now she is thinking less about Chibi not being here, so she's feeling better about things in general. She accepts the scratches happily.]

Sorry for the name mix-up in the previous post. >_>

[Encouragment is always welcome, and now Xion feels a little better, too.]
