[As far as Xion knows, it's a perfectly normal day. She's headed home in the evening after a long day in the library, studying any medical books she could get her hands on. She's even got a little notebook full of notes to show for her efforts, and she's proud of it, okay

And once he's heard it all...?]
It was him, wasn't it?

Who, Vanitas? Yeah, it was him! And because of him, Axel is...! He's really badly hurt, and--
You sound like you were expecting it to be him! And if that's true, why aren't you doing something about it!?

[Xion's not the only one who sounds angry, though.]
I guess I could go look for him, too. First thing's first, though; do you guys need a healer? I could use some cure magic if you do.

Xion! What's going on? What's wrong?

Just come home, please! I can't do this by myself... [ crying. yes. definitely. and very scared. ]

Talk to me, Xion. What's wrong with Axel?

[ her voice tapers off into a whisper. ]
There was a fight.

Sanji... he got into our house. Our house. Can we even stay here anymore...?
[ it's obvious her thoughts are scattered, if that's the first thing she chooses to say. ]

I'm coming over.

but she won't spend long away from Axel's side. ]

But before he can apologize and head over while thinking that Guy will tease him without mercy, the commotion starts.]
Xion?!
[But his voice is lost in what's happening, and all Luke can do is grab his sword and listen as he does so, trying to figure out what's going on. It sounds like a friend of hers got attacked; the voice sounds distantly familiar, too. Once the sword is equipped, Luke grabs the journal to speak.]
Xion, what happened?!

But Xion can barely handle just on more thing on her radar. Even if that thing is Luke. All, all she wants is to wake up and for this to be a really bad dream. ]
... someone ... attacked -- [ her voice strains for a moment, and she pauses. ] My best friend... Axel, he-- he's really hurt. Don't -- don't come.

[She doesn't want him to come... But still. Luke can't just turn away from this. A dear friend is hurt emotionally and vulnerable, and who knows what would happen if the attacker came back?
No... Luke couldn't possibly allow that, even though she asked. Luke sounds a little calmer, though whether that's because he knows what's going on, Xion's doing the panicking for him, or he's simply resolved is up in the air.]
But what if that person came back? ... If I can't be there, then I'll stand guard outside.
[Luke knows he'd be useless otherwise; he can't heal, and he'd only get in the way. All he can do is fight and protect, huh...
Now isn't the time to think about that, though.]

[ simply. she'll tell everyone who wants to know the boy's name, and even people who haven't asked. she wants everyone to know. she wants his name to be blackened.
there's a pause at his offer, though. she's still waiting -- for Roxas, for Axel to stop dying in her lap--
but-- ]
... if you want. [ her voice is barely above a whisper. she might at least look outside if he does come... but not much more than that. she won't want to leave Axel for more than a moment, if that. ]

You got everything under control, there?

Mostly! Not dead yet, so that must count for something.

[He goes to chuckle but that's quickly cut off by a wince.]
