xxiii. [voice, action for Roxas and Xion]

[flared]

[As soon as Axel opens his journal and gets it to record he has to dash away suddenly. You see, when one of your best friends is tiny...er, things get just a liiittle more complicated. To the other residence of House 14, you might notice the house is in a state of... well. Mess. Xion is a handful and both Roxas and Axel have no idea what they're

[perplex_me]

[And anybody listening to Axel's post might hear an older boy chasing after the five year old, running around the house after her] Xion, come back here with that! I needed it! [Chaaaase. Except she bumped a chair just enough in his way for it to be too late to change direct, and for him to trip over it suddenly, landing hard on his knees]

[ action ]

[poppetry]

[ NO IT'S MY SPOON AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT DX IT'S THE GREATEST SPOON EVER AND I GET TO KEEP IT OKAY!!! she just sticks her tongue out at him when she sneaks a look over her shoulder.

but then he trips, and she stops immediately, because oh god that was her fault. instantly she drops the spoon and runs back to him, at a loss but visibly upset ]

Roxas! Roxas okay? I sorry...

[ action ]

[perplex_me]

[He could have used the plastic spoon, but no, he had to have the wooden one. He groans a little from his place on the ground, eventually looking up at her.]

Yeah...m'okay. [Still not moving though because Xion has worn him out since they brought her home.]

[ action ]

[poppetry]

[ oh god what did she do why isn't he getting up DID SHE BREAK HIM? SHE BROKE HIM THIS IS AWFUL! she sits down right there and takes one of his hands, looking so upset she could cry. ]

[ action ]

[perplex_me]

[YES YOU DID, XION, YOU BROKE HIS LITTLE HEA--oh wait. But no he blinks when she grabs his hand and there's another sound before he shifts to sit up, suddenly talking faster when he recognizes that look.] Hey, hey, hey! I'm fine, see? Please don't cry? [Because Axel might hit him if he made Xion cry.]

[ action ]

[poppetry]

[ positively huge sad eyes. she tugs on his hand and makes a tiny sound. are you sure? ]

[ action ]

[perplex_me]

I'm fine. Just. Be careful with the spoon, okay? You don't want to hurt yourself. [Or him for that matter, but.]

[ action ]

[poppetry]

[ ... she frowns a little and tugs lightly on his hair. he worried her! ] Okee. I be careful. [ she stands and pats him on the head ... then goes and gets her spoon back. ]

[ action ]

[perplex_me]

Ow. [Hair-tugging is still not cool from either bff of either age. But he has to grin a little at the head pat.] Good. That's all I ask. [And he's...watching her wander off, sitting on the floor just watching her.]

Hey. Does Axel know you have that?

[ action ]

[flared]

What, trying to make me out to be the bad guy after you almost made her cry?

[Yes he saw that, Roxas. 8| Don't worry, Xion, your big brother is here to protect you! And thawp Roxas lightly on the head.]

[ action ]

[poppetry]

Aksel! [ she doesn't say it quite right. but she lights up when he comes over and trots over to him, waving her spoon in the air ]

Look, look! [ she waves it in the air ] Swoosh!

[ action ]

[perplex_me]

[There's a sound of protest from the head thwap, rubbing the spot Axel hit while watching Xion.]

I didn't do it on purpose! Besides, she's fine now.

[ action ]

[flared]

[Okay that is even too cute for him and he chuckles. And gives Roxas a hair ruffle.]

Ahh, is that your sword? Are you going to protect us from the big scary Riku?

[ action ]

[poppetry]

Eeku? [ Xion blinks, lowering her spoon to clutch it to her body with both hands, tilting her head at the name. then she looks around, like he might actually be there. ] Eeku not sc-- sca-ry.

[ action ]

[perplex_me]

[Roxas just watches her for a second, grumbling under his breath] No, but Riku's a dummy. [Because calling him other names is not appropriate for children in the vicinity.] Maybe he's not, but his hair might take on a life of its own and eat all of us.

[ action ]

[flared]

[...fff Roxas.]

Don't scare her now.
