[Video | Action]

[ Good afternoon, Johto. Y'might be greeted to an odd sight today as Xion's Gear comes alive thanks to Bell the Togekiss (who somehow has managed to work it despite not having any... arms, per se). ]

Hah! Yah!

[ Wooden Keyblade in hand, Xion's swinging at an invisible enemy like this. A jump, and she tries an air combo. Least she's not doing any of the fancy stuff she knows, and even if she could, her now human body would make it difficult to do so anyway.

But the expression on her face... and the amount of force it looks like she's putting into the swings... Someone hasn't had a good night nor sleep, that's for sure.

She stops when Axel the Typhlosion walks into view. Training time? Don't we all love some training time! Xion goes into a stance until Axel fires a spurt of bright, hot flames at her. Dodge roll, then she swings at his chest, but obviously makes sure she misses on purpose. She doesn't want to hurt him.

A minute or two of this passes, and somehow, Bahamut the Gible scampers into view. He bumps into the back of Xion's leg, making her stumble slightly, distracting her enough that she can't stop Axel from swiping her wooden Keyblade out of her hand. Clattering to the side and out of reach, Xion only has a few moments before Axel swipes at her again. Guess what happens when you take a Keyblade out of their wielder's hand? Especially when she can't summon it back...

No hand-to-hand experience, either. She tries to block the blow, but then he just... headbutts her. Bearing in mind Bahamut is still behind her, she tries to fall where she doesn't squish him.

Thud.

Xion: 0 | Axel: 1

She lets out a shuddering sigh, maybe a bit frustrated, but not at Axel or anything. At least Bahamut walked out unscathed as he comes up to her face and licks her cheek, but she doesn't move herself from the sandy floor. ]


I need to change this.

[ Seeing all this, Bell thinks the spectacle's over and shuts the feed. ]

I guess now would be the "break."

[ Gobble gobble goes Bahamut. Bell gives extra chirpings in return and Axel rumbles and bows his head slightly. Looks like he's matured, and not just in body. ]

Okay. You can finish your ice cream. I got more, if you want.

[Raises her bag, pulling out some for herself.]

You look really tired though.

[ Small grin, but why lie? Namine can be really perceptive. ]

I just didn't sleep well today. I'll sleep earlier to make up for it, though.

Bad dream... memory, I guess.

[... she knows what that means.]

Oh. I'm... sorry for asking.

[ Shakes her head quickly. ]

No, I mean... it's done, right? That's all back in our world... [ And yet it still manages to creep up. ]

... is there something... you still feel bad about?

[action]

[identity profile] ordalias.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Some. [ Being perfectly honest here on that part. ] But it wasn't something like that. I just felt so sick...

[ She stops eating her ice cream for a bit. ]

Xemnas. When he tried to make me into what he wanted.

Oh. Even up to now...

... and this is what you usually do when you have nightmares?

[why didn't she notice this ):]

[ She shrugs. ] It's my way of venting, I suppose.

[ It got a bit worse after the Shedinja event. ]

... alright, but take a break once in a while, alright? Should you even be training while you lack sleep?

[ She grins and gestures a bit with the hand holding the ice cream. ]

I haven't collapsed yet!

[That makes her smile too and she catches up with her own ice cream.]

As for the nightmares, I'm not sure how well it would work for you but...

... have you tried sleeping with Bell?

[Odd question, but she has an idea. When Salty was just an egg, Namine always slept with her in her arms. The Egg Pokemon has positive abilities that allows it to make people around it happy, which helped her cope in Johto.]

Sleep with Bell? No, why?

I'm not sure if you've noticed it, but Bell and Salty have a special abilities that aren't like the others. They can sense happiness form people and pass it on to others.

When I first came here, I used to have nightmares too, and... I've always felt a little set apart and lonely from the others. After a few nights, Salty started sleeping next to me, and they started going away. Not to mention just looking at her always seem to cheer me up.

[ Blinks and looks to Bell. Bell does a loop in the air and chirps happily at Xion and Namine, and she does smile back at that. ]

I'll try that, yeah. [ She turns back to Namine. ] So you're fine?

[action]

[identity profile] cagedstar.livejournal.com 2011-09-07 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Better than when I first came here, admittedly.

That's good. [ Lets out a sigh. ] I hope my nightmares stop coming, too.
