[ 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. ]

Xion...?

... I think... you're very strong.

My. What a heavy question to ask. [ you can talk to ~~daddy~~ interested Jade, Miss Xion. ): ]

I've noticed that while there are those with the physical capabilities to be considered strong, the strongest are those who persevere and never give up.

When you refuse to stand for being weak. Ultimately, strength comes from will.

[Okay, so she's already worried because she had a talk with Leon, but that bitter hiss sends alarm bells ringing in Lightning's head. Concerned? Yes.]

It depends on what kind of strength you're talking about, Xion. Which do you mean?

[Serious face.]

Guess it depends. I mean, everyone's got a different definition, because everyone's got different things to do in life.

You're strong when you do what needs to be done, when you do what's right, even if you don't want to do it, even when it's painful.

[ A pause. ] But is that really what you want to know?

If you can't tell if you're strong or weak, then that's fuckin' pathetic. Either which way, it should be obwious, if you can't crush what competition you may hawe, whatewer opposition there might be, then I think it's pretty fuckin' downright safe to assume you're on the weaker side a shit.

[He is the Prince of Sympathy. Obviously.]

Ultimately, the only one who can answer that is the person in question.

You're strong when getting your butt kicked isn't a reason to stop doing anything. [It's a little bit of a weird answer, but Ritz sounds like she's thought about it.] You know you're strong when you don't feel like you need to ask people what it means to be strong.

...There are many ways, depending on the circumstances and the sort of strength you mean. Why do you ask?

Being strong on the outside and being strong on the inside are two different things. Which one are you talking about?

Well, nobody's weak. [ ...well, that's not quite true. but, hey. ] Unless they think they are. If you're doing your best, you're stronger than you think.

Strong as in willpower, Xion?

[He's worried about her. Of course he is.]

... you have enough faith in yourself that you don't let yourself believe you're weak.

[ . . . ]

Is everything alright, Miss Xion?

When you never allow yourself to be stopped or controlled.

Whoa, where did that come from?

You're strong when you don't let yourself get down when you fail at something.

Mii... I think that there are many different ways to be strong, though.

[Xion, have a wary looking Riku. Such an abrupt question, after all!]

Being strong means taking risks and sticking with what you believe in. Showing no fear...

[That said, he doesn't think Xion is weak at all.]

You know you're strong when you don't let bullies put you down like that! You just have to give him a good punch in the face and not let him see that he bothers you!

[Here's the king of motivational speaking and not letting others put him down or friends.]

When you glance upon another who you view as strong, what are the things you notice first about them?

[ A curious inquiry. ]
