Headcount. Who all here remembers the Elegante? Speak up.
[There's a couple reasons for asking. The general headcount, and asking a few important questions that came up when he spoke to Zuko.]
Need to figure some things out.

[He does see what you're asking about, though, and so he just starts off:]
I've-- I-I've been here, uh... t-two months now, I-I think, but... th-there was a, a m-- me here b-before I-I was.

[Back up, Xanth!]
P--People have-- th-they told me that... I-I was h-- here before? L-Like, um, th-- that guy, wh-who writes with the twos, a-and... K-Kairi, too, she-- she told me. B-But I d--didn't remember that.
S-So, I, um. I-I don't know.

How could you have been here before?
[Xanth you were on the Elegante before. He's missing the seat cushion to prove it.]
Reply
Um.
[Xanth swallows hard.]
D-Do you... do you know, h-how there are s--some people h-here who w-we knew, but... d-don't... know us a-- at all?
I... I-I don't know h-how, but, that-- I-- m-might've been th--that way.
[He wishes he could explain it, but he doesn't understand it himself.]

[He doesn't really know what to say to that. Or... what to think of it. So he falls silent for a while, turning that over.]
Oh.
I... guess that is our only explanation.

[Xanth is boggled, too. He believes people when they say they met another him, but the idea that he was here previously is very hard to wrap his mind around.]
B-But I'm... I-I'm here now, the-- the me y-you know, and, th-that I know. S-So I don't get it.
B-But I, I thought, m-maybe that w-would help...

[He's just not sure how, though. Aside from... if there were another Xanth, who wasn't from the Elegante... did that mean his world wasn't actually gone?]
Did you hear anything about him? About his world?
Reply
B-But I didn't hear a--a l-lot. If he was r-really like me, th-then he'd... p-probably not t-talk much, a--about his w-world.
[If he were truly like Xanth, he would have tried to forget.]
Reply
[You know, besides the OBVIOUS.]
Reply
Just-- I-- I-I didn't f-fit in, s-so well. And if... i-if was l-like me, then... I-I bet he d-didn't either.
[Have you ever wondered, Ironhide, where all of Xanth's neuroses come from?]
Reply
[... not really. This is Ironhide we're talking about.]
Reply
Um.
W-Well.
I-I can explain, but, not-- n-not on-- th-the journals.
[Even if he's not hiding it, he doesn't want to spill everything out in public.]

[He thinks for a few seconds. He'd rather not go to his room; getting some fresh air would be nice.]
Th-- the, uh. The-- lake? I-Is that-- a-alright?
[He likes the lake. It's almost the ocean.]
