So...I can talk to other people this way, right?

[The video feed shakes up and down as Cambot nods.]

Really? Great!

...Wait, there are other people around, aren't there? Because crash landing in a space station ghost town wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[Xion's struck speechless for a few moments. When she does manage to speak, all that comes out is...]

So you're Kairi.

[It's a little rude, but the whole situation is awkward enough that what she learned of manners flew out the window.]

[seasidememories]

...Anoth--

[That face.]

What's going on? Are you--you're--are we sisters? I know I forgot a lot of things about my home, but please, don't tell me I forgot having a sister! Please. That would be too cruel--it'd be just like--Grandma...

...Who? Who are you?

[skysmirror]

[Looks like it's story time again.]

I'm Xion, and no, we're not sisters. It's...kind of a long story.

[seasidememories]

I've been hearing a lot of those today...

You know what? You don't have to tell me right away. I'll want to know eventually, why we look so much alike, but...

If it's a difficult story, I'm happy to wait.

[That gets a small smile out of Xion.]

Thank you. I bet it's a lot to take in at once.

[She looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Do you wan to come find me when you're more settled in?

[It isn't a story she particularly wants to tell people she just met, but she can make an exception for Kairi.]

[seasidememories]

I'd love to.

And I can't wait to meet you.

I'll see you soon, Xion.

[skysmirror]

[She nods.]

See you soon.
