[action - morning of July 14th]

[perplex_me]

[The last couple of days have been kind of hell. Xion getting attacked...the mob going after Vanitas...and then...

...well, he took care of that himself. It was a bittersweet victory in his mind, but something he was still proud of even though he shouldn't have been. Hence why he found himself sitting in Xion's room at the clinic by her bedside, staring into space waiting for her to wake up. He knew he had to deliver the message to her, but he wasn't going to wake her up until she was ready. Come on, Xion. Roxas can only be patient for so long.]

[ Xion's still in a bad way. Mia saved her life, but she's got a long road of recovery ahead of her. For a second -- a brief, hazy second -- she opens her eyes when Roxas walks in the room. But they only open the tiniest sliver, and almost immediately she falls back to sleep. He likely won't even have noticed.

He'll wait at least an hour -- a long, quiet hour -- while she sleeps, perfectly still. The hour will pass -- a few minutes more -- before all of a sudden, her eyelids flutter. Are you paying attention, Roxas? ]

[perplex_me]

[His thoughts are wandering in and out as he stares into space, occasionally eying Xion. When her eyelids finally flutter though he jumps, pressing his hands to the side of the bed and staring straight at her.]

Xion? Hey, Xion, wake up.

[action - morning of July 14th]

[poppetry]

[ ...

Her eyes blink open. Just a little bit. And she stares at him -- seems to, but she isn't really registering his presence. Still, she's awake. ]

[Action - afternoon of July 15th]

[hisdarkmark]

[He's been planning around this very carefully, waiting until everyone else who had come to visit had left the room. It was only when Xion was alone that he bothered to announce his presence.

And by announcing his presence, we mean that a small wispy coyote pup is running into the room, lifting his front paws up onto the edge of the bed and barking at her. Draco himself won't come in just yet though. Xion can have the warm happiness radiating from Padfoot instead.]

[Action - afternoon of July 15th]

[poppetry]

[ Goshdarnit, Draco. She'd wanted to go back to sleep after Jacob left. She's actually dozing when Padfoot runs into the room and BARKS!

EEK!

Xion startles back into wakefulness, biting back a wince when the movement jars her various injuries. But then she blinks at the silver-white creature, taking a moment to register who it belongs to.

Once she does, a smile spreads across her face, and she looks up at the door. ]

Draco?

[Action - afternoon of July 15th]

[hisdarkmark]

[Padfoot's tail wags and as soon as she speaks, Draco himself will step into the room. His hand is in his pocket, but the other is keeping a wand trained on Padfoot. He offers her a lopsided grin, shutting the door behind him and approaching the bedside before gracefully folding into the chair next to the bed.]

Awake, I see. [Give him a moment to settle while Padfoot goes as far as to jump on the bed with the girl.] Tell me you feel better than you look.

[Action - afternoon of July 15th]

[poppetry]

[ Padfoot. ;~; If he comes close enough, she'll try to give him some scritches without moving her left arm/hand too much. Her fingers are free, if not her wrist.

Her smile turns crooked for Draco's question, and she looks over at him. ] ... not really. But I'm a little better than I was yesterday.

[She was told that it wouldn't be a good idea to visit so soon because of her state, but it was almost two days and fretting over this whole thing wasn't getting any better. Ignoring her own fears of the outside, Noel manages walking to the clinic and eventually finding Xion's room.

...it's not a pretty sight, seeing the state she's in. It hurts to see her, and there's a ton of what-ifs clouding in Noel's head, but really, what could she have done?

Maybe... she won't stay long. Xion needs her rest, but-- at the same time, should she stay for a while? Maybe she'd like the company... maybe?

Not wanting to make a lot of noise, Noel quietly tip-toes over to Xion's bedside to see if she's awake.]

[action - afternoon of July 14th]

[poppetry]

[ So many visitors today. Of course, Noel pops in before Luke's later visit. As with the rest of the day, Xion's been floating in and out of consciousness, never able to stay awake for long. Usually not more than a few confused seconds.

It's in one of those windows that Noel comes in, and at first Xion is not really aware of her, instead just staring blankly, deeply confused, at the opposite wall. ]

[action - afternoon of July 14th]

[bullet_dance]

[We love you, Xion. 8(

...she begins to notice, though. Noel may not know her actual state, but her eyes are clearly open. She... might be a little hesitant at first, but--]

... Xion? [Are you there?]

[action - afternoon of July 14th]

[poppetry]

[ --huh?

Xion blinks, looking over at Noel. It takes her a moment to realize what's -- actually going on, but -- ]

Noel...?

[EVENING on the 15th like the creeper he is]

[generalflirt]

[She'll probably be asleep by now, but. Given he just finished having a day out with the guys in a log which will go up backdated later he now feels confident enough to actually visit her. And well, that's what he's here in the middle of the night - fully expecting her to not be in a position to do anything - to do]

[EVENING on the 15th -- :|]

[poppetry]

[ That's the thing about being grievously sick or injured. You don't tend to keep regular hours in recovery. You wake up at all times of day and night, usually at random, without any real recognition of how much time has passed.

However, she does seem to be asleep when Masaomi comes in. Get comfortable, bro -- it will take her a few minutes to realize someone else is in the dimly lit room with her. ]

[EVENING on the 15th -- <("<) ]

[generalflirt]

[He will - this does, after all, remind him of what he imagine Saki looked like. He almost regrets, for a moment, not seeing her beyond those first few periods... but he dismisses that quickly, deciding that his own pain is not something he should indulge in right now. Instead, he pulls up a chair next to Xion - wincing a bit at how it's so loud even though he's trying to be quiet - and stares at her face for a moment.

Eventually though... he goes to stroke some hair out of her face.

...She even looks a little like Saki]

[EVENING on the 15th -- CREEPER. ]

[poppetry]

[ Oh, did you think her eyes were closed, Masaomi? No, no. A few minutes after he slunk into the room, she'd opened her eyes just the tiniest bit -- not enough for her to really see, but not enough for him to be able to notice, either. All she could tell was someone was there with her -- right?

It could be just another dream...

And she very nearly decides it is until he brushes her hair out of her face. Her eyes open fully, then -- a slow motion, not one of surprise. She merely looks at him, quietly, taking a moment to register who it is.

... he did just do that, right? There was almost something tender about it... the way he touched her.

Xion doesn't say anything, at first. Instead she just watches him, wondering. ]

[action, afternoon of July 16th]

[flared]

[Axel had been pretty much away since he and Kairi brought Xion in. Xion was in good hands and was being taken care of, so he had no reason to worry. He'd still been keeping an eye on things, but after everything he just needed sometime to himself. So he hadn't really been back to the house expect to change his clothes at one point.

When he pops into see Xion in the afternoon, he still looks a little uneasy, but he wanted to come and see how she was doing. Half of him is sort of hoping she's asleep, while the other half is hoping she's awake.]

[action, afternoon of July 16th]

[poppetry]

[ She was napping how dare you interrupt her.

Well, more like dozing. She stirs when Axel walks in, a little disoriented at first. Who what who's there what... ]

[action, afternoon of July 16th]

[flared]

[HE HAD TO OKAY, HE CARES.

He was almost tempted to leave, but instead Axel is stepping closer to her bed once she starts to stir. He peers down at her, keeping his voice a little lower than normal when he speaks.]

Xion?

[action, afternoon of July 16th]

[poppetry]

[ Aw, Axel, that just touches her right in her Replica heart.

She comes awake at the sound of his voice, blinking at him for a moment as her mind gets in gear, then smiling once she registers who it is. ] Axel... hey. It's good to see you.
