[Video] (if a bit backdated)

[ The feed switches on and the first thing you'd see is the close up face of a Cyndaquil, making noises and moving its little arms at the screen until a voice pops in. ]

Axel, what are you doing? [ A pause, and the PokeGear is picked up, moving to show Xion next. She's propped against a wall, most likely sitting on something, but the thing that could be noticeable on her is the gauze pad covering most of her left cheek. She blinks at the screen, then looks back down where the Cyndaquil would be. ]

I guess I should show a bit of my progress... [ There's an affirmative chirp before she fully turns her attention to the PokeGear. ] I finally arrived at Cherrygrove. I'm in a PokeCenter right now.

[ She pauses as she presses a button on her Gear. ] It's still a little while before I get to Violet... [ And she does have to wait for Cecil. ] But we'll get there.

[ Axel is making more noise, almost as though it wants more attention, and Xion smiles slightly, turning to him. ] We made some progress, didn't we? [ Then she turns the screen to show her Cyndaquil waving happily, his flames a bit bigger and brighter on his back. ]

... He's my best friend.

It's good that he is. Best friends are nice. [ And also, if it weren't for you, her own identity might've just stayed a hooded doll forever. ]

Do you have one? [ Kairi'd be honored she could help, really. If she... knew any of this. ]

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Only... [ Oh, wait. ] Maybe two.

[video]

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

You've got two, too? What're their names?

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Axel and Roxas.

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

Your... [ and she looks curiously at the Cyndaquil; hadn't she called him Axel? ]

[ Notices the line of Kairi's gaze and smiles a little. ]

I named him after my friend.

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

... I bet your friend would be happy to hear that.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

I wonder. He might be a little put off, considering how small he is.

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

But they evolve, right? Who knows, Axel could grow up to be huge one day!

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

He could! I'm actually looking forward to that... [ In the background, Axel cries out, almost saying, "Don't worry, I'll get there!" ]

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

I bet he'll look amazing.

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

I'll show him to you if he does.

[video]

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

Okay! It's a promise!

[video]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Promise.

[ Pauses, looking off for a bit. ] Ah, I have to meet up with someone. I'll talk to you later, okay, Kairi?

[video]

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure-- see you later, Xion!
