[ 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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He nods.]

Children can only be conceived when the woman's body is ready to nurture them. This generally happens once a month, though the specifics differ. That is the only time when there is a chance of pregnancy. ...If both participants can have children, that is.

What can prevent them from not having any?

Illnesses. Injuries. Imcompatibilities. And some people... simply cannot.

Oh, I see... [ Pausing, thinking and digesting all this information... ]

But it's up to the girl and guy on whether or not they want to have kids, right?

...It can also happen even if neither partner is interested. That tends to complicate matters. However, whether or not they raise the child together is definitely their choice.

Hm. So I'd need to talk it over with a guy if I wanted to have children?

That would be the most important step of all, yes.

And during sex... you fit the keys into the keyholes.

[ IT WILL NEVER BE UNDONE. ]

Exactly.

[This is why Rosa took care of it at home. Or Cid.]

So since you seem happy about having children... Does having sex make you happy?

[Sorry, Xion, did you want an answer? Because Cecil is slightly too busy suffocating to give one.]

[ Blinks and gapes in worry. ] Cecil...?

[It takes a few minutes before his breath returns.]

W-well, the sensation itself is pleasant, but that could also be because of the emotional closeness involved- I mean, as I do not touch any one but my wife- Yet everyone has off days- Yes? Usually?

Touch? [ And then Xion looks like she makes a realization in her head. Leon always did like her ability to catch onto things quick. ]

You touch your wife's keyhole to make her happy! [ Dun dun dun. ]

[...He gives up.]

...Touch in this case was mostly a euphemism, but I assure you that with some imagination a couple can make each other happy in a thousand small ways. Always ask your partner for permission before trying anything, and pay attention when they say that a particular act is painful and/or uncomfortable.

But sex is supposed to be pleasant, right? Then again, inserting a key into a key... hole...

[ Awkward pause. ]

Ah, wait. You said men have penises, and women have vaginas... where?

In both cases, the relevant body parts are situated between the legs of the partner. Please remember that all body parts involved are fragile and sensitive, and should be treated with the greatest care at all times.

[He's starting to sound quite a lot like he's repeating a particularly dry, half-forgotten childhood lecture. Oh dear.]

[ Poor, poor Cecil. But it's for Xion's better understanding about the ~*mysteries of life*~! Xion's actually looking between her legs, but thankfully, doesn't do more than that. Just for clarification. So she has a vagina AKA "keyhole."

... Wait for it, wait for it... ] After sex, children come out of a woman... there?

[ Keys don't do anything. They just insert. Unless they're Keyblades, but she's sure they're just talking about regular keys that don't shoot out beams of light. ]

Exactly. It can take quite a few hours and a few helpers, and generally involves some pain and screaming. And, of course, the nine months of the pregnancy.

[Rosa did not have the easiet pregnancy. It has colored his vision of childbirth a little.]

[ All that near smiling and joy from discovering she's onto something she's never learned before? Gone. ]

Nine months?

The child needs time to grow strong, if it is to survive its birth and its first few days of life.

[Still, he sympathizes.]

[ Silence. Well, that's understandable, at least, and from all the information she's gathered right now... Now she looks a bit uncomfortable, she does understand. Don't worry.

She thinks. ]

Yeah, I'm... still not sure about children. [ And the concept of sex is still a mystery to her, but she's thinking she's put Cecil through enough with her questioning. Maybe another time? Or another person to ask... ]

And like you said... a few more years, right?

Many are not, even if they are married or part of long-lasting relationships.

[Yeah, that is quite a lot to take in, isn't it? Next time he'll have to remember to give the abridged version.]

You have as many years as you want to have. I had Ceodore at a relatively young age, but a friend of mine had his only daughter in his mid-thirties.

I see. [ Tries to small smile. NOT... that his deters Xion's nice view of having a family, no. She just needs... time to process all of this in her tired head. ]

Thank you, Cecil.

You're welcome. If you have any other questions, you only need to ask.

[If her brain can still take it, that is.]
