[Action for Goldenrod | Video; Backdated to October 10th]

[ordalias]

[ Action ]

[ She really shouldn't be out of bed so soon after such an exciting, but almost grueling tournament, but here Xion is, walking to the Goldenrod Department Store. She'd had hours of being in the Pokemon Center to treat her wounds, so now she's walking around looking like this to anyone who cared to look. She does have a small grin on her face; she really didn't expect to make it to Round 3. The results of her battles? Latvia: Epic. Russia: Epic and victory! Xanxus: ... Epic beatdown, but still no less epic.

'Course, Xion's careful to hide the injuries sustained on her body, and since the weather seemed to be getting weirder and darker, she's currently in her old Organization coat which, ironically, had quite the functional hood for when it really rained.

Off to get some medicine! ... because she really didn't want to hold up Roxas and Namine's plans to go to Cinnabar, too. ]

[ Later Video]

Would anyone know where a person called the Move Tutor would be at now? I'd like to see if he can teach my pokemon some techniques.

Hm?

[ After she doesn't return for a moment, he gets worried, but...she can handle herself, right?

An hour later, via text: ]

Is everything all right?

[ The text takes a little time to send back, even then. ]

Fine.

[adamant]

What happened?

[ It should be noted that it takes a bit longer for her to reply to these things, yet her answers are rather short. Thinking... ]

Got busy helping.

[adamant]

[ Getting suspicious... ]

With what?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Riku. Terror.

[adamant]

[ See icon. ]

You're not hurt, are you?

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, he had to turn on the video-

When her face pops up on the screen, there are more bandages on her face, and one on her neck. She looks almost sheepish. ]

Not really.

[video]

[adamant]

[ Leon's expression darkens, taking in the wounds. She's not hurt, thankfully, but... ]

He should know better than to let Terror out where there's people around. That's just asking for trouble.

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, on the contrary. Xion just hides it better. ]

I was only trying to help. Terror didn't seem all that bad.

[video]

[adamant]

She isn't, when she's kept calm.

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

... She can be calmed?

[video]

[adamant]

[ What is this question. ]

Of course she can. She isn't angry all the time.

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

But Riku made it out to seem like she couldn't...

[video]

[adamant]

Terror needs a lot of work. I'm not sure Riku's willing to do it.

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Does that mean you worked with Terror before?

[video]

[adamant]

Yeah. I had her with me for a little under two weeks, flying with friends to and from Cherrygrove. I needed a second flyer, since Skarmory can't fly three.

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

I see... [ A pause. ] I only wanted to help.

[video]

[adamant]

...What did you try to do, exactly?

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ This is where she falls really silent. Didn't Leon tell her once before that she shouldn't try to fight pokemon by herself? Although, it wasn't so much as "fighting" as just jumping on the Aerodactyl's back and hoping it... doesn't... mind that? ]

[adamant]

[ ..................... ]

Xion...

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Is this how children feel when they know they're gonna confess to something really bad to their parents? ]

I sorta... Well, I climbed onto her back.

[video]

[adamant]

--you what?

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Flinches. ] Yeah, I... [ Thought it was a good idea at the time??? ]

[video]

[adamant]

[ SIIIIIGH. ]

Xion...

[ What am I going to do with you... ]
