Usopp's gone home, too.

[Written sometime before noon. Quick, to the point, and only jotted down as an fyi for all the friends he left. She won't answer anyone, not that she expects the need to elaborate]

[ Xion sees this. She does. And she tries to sympathize. She would feel sympathy -- she would. Usopp was her friend too. It should hurt.

Instead, she goes looking for Sanji, checking the usual places to see if she can find her. Because right now she isn't feeling much of anything, and ... well ...

Truth be told, she just wants to see her. ]

[If she comes by the house, that's where she'll be; not even the restaurant can drag her away from the remaining crew members.]

[ the restaurant is where she goes, at first; more out of reflex than anything. but she barely has to glance inside to realize that's not where Sanji will be.

so it's to the house she heads, and she'll knock on the door when she gets there. truthfully, she's not really thinking -- were her mind clear at all, she'd give Sanji, and the rest of the crew, space.

but suffice to say she's not. furthest thing from clear thinking is this girl right here. ]

[It'll be a moment before Xion gets any reply. Drawing herself out of the kitchen takes time, and constant reminders that it could be a woman waiting at the door. She didn't raise herself into shitty manners; neither did Zeff.

But still. It takes time. When she opens the door and sees that it's Xion, she gives the girl a slow smile and moves out of the way]

Xion-chan.

[ ...ah.

That man was...useful, in his own way. He was useful the first time, too, as dependable and predictable as daylight, or dirt.

He'll give Sanji a respectful silence, if nothing else. ]
