[ Sadly, just because of the state of her face, he can't really see that smile. Certainly though, he's just got that lingering feeling in the back of his head that that she probably is. If nothing, her mood seems to have improved by no small amount as they've talked.
He's mindful as Xion hesitates on stepping forward, taking a moment to take a mental guess about what might be going on in her head. If past experience had taught him anything, it was that whatever thoughts constantly raced through his friend's mind tended to be more complicated than he thought they needed to be. Not that he had any problem with such contemplative considerations; but more often than not, he did worry that she over-complicated things or tended to think she was alone when well... if he knows about what's bothering her, he'd be right by her side. It's the way he felt things should be. And if by some miracle, Axel would show up, all the better.
As for that brief touch of memories, the strange hotel would be the least of the odd things she might see. A city of seasons; a white dog and a black panther-like creature and a nearly deserted city in practical ruins would be among the other bits of floating scenery. Yet the one thing in common with both places would be that she'd been there with him.
Her comment snapped Roxas out of his train of thought, bringing that smile back to his face as he gave a dismissive shrug. ]
Don't apologize; you're still you. As long as that's the true, everything else just comes after that.
