[ She's been contemplating this, yes, ever since she got her ass handed back to her by Vanitas. She's lost, sure, many times in fact... but this one in particular... ]

How... when do you know you're strong? That you're not weak?

[ She might end that last sentence in a bitter hiss. Sure, she's lost, but when it involves her friends (and Pokemon), it becomes another thing. She couldn't beat Vanitas, came out even more battered, and well aware her appearance would worry friends. So lately she's been hanging around the roof of Goldenrod City's Department Store.

It sounds like she's going to say more, but whatever it is dissolves into a sigh and stops. ]

[ There's an intake of breath. Seriously, couldn't Lightning just tell him? Will tell him? Or something. ]

The bones in my right forearm are cracked.

[ Among other things. ]

[ A sharp intake on his end, too.

He was expecting bad--it's Vanitas--but he wasn't expecting bad. ]

[ And then just...silence, while he simmers. If he speaks now, he might say something regrettable. ]

[ Even if he doesn't say anything, she knows what that silence on his end means. Heck, she's not proud of it, but she's angry and frustrated at a lot of things right now. She knows she'd deserve it, but still. ]

[ Moments pass. Finally: ]

Why did you pick a fight with Vanitas, Xion?

I wanted to know why Vanitas picked a fight with Roxas, then I learned what he was doing to his Pokemon. Then we started arguing.

And fighting him solved the problem, how?

[ Would "he was asking for it" be a sufficient answer? ... Xion guesses no. ]

... It didn't. [ But I'm going to. Eventually. ]

[ ...and she's asking about strength, huh? ]

Do you think it ever will?

[ Oh, she's getting some ideas, though. ]

It will.
