[ 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. ]
Hah! Yah!

[ 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. ]
[action]
[Raises her bag, pulling out some for herself.]
You look really tired though.
[action]
I just didn't sleep well today. I'll sleep earlier to make up for it, though.
[action]
[action]
[action]
Oh. I'm... sorry for asking.
[action]
No, I mean... it's done, right? That's all back in our world... [ And yet it still manages to creep up. ]

[action]
Xemnas. When he tried to make me into what he wanted.
[action]
... and this is what you usually do when you have nightmares?
[why didn't she notice this ):]
[action]
[ It got a bit worse after the Shedinja event. ]
[action]
[action]
I haven't collapsed yet!
[action]
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.]
[action]
[action]
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.
[action]
I'll try that, yeah. [ She turns back to Namine. ] So you're fine?
