Xion must have a thing for meeting the ground sometimes. Seriously. But this is different. This is training so she can be okay if the situation ever called for it. Her hands scuff at the sand as she almost unsteadily stands back up for the third time since she and Lightning began her lesson.
She's huffing a bit, but she's not showing much signs of backing down. Her hands go back up the position Lightning told her to do so, but she's temporarily distracted by Leon's presence. ]
Yeah! Morning, Leon.

And it might be tomorrow, anyway. If Xion's hungry enough to eat half that sandwich so quickly, they might just stop so she can have a more proper breakfast that doesn't have sand in it or sun cooking it from above. That's enough to get Lightning to look up at the sky, shielding her eyes against the light.]
We might have to continue this tomorrow. It's only going to get warmer from now on.

[ He looks pointedly out in the ocean as he adjusts his grip and hands over Xion's glass of milk. ] You could even go cool off in the sea, if there aren't too many Tentacool.
[ He's even capable of joining them, now, with his newly-minted swimming...skills. Or something. His gaze turns towards Lightning, the tray out, slightly expectant. ]
You like this, right?

She takes the milk with another nod of thanks and takes large, long gulps of it. When she pulls away, what was once a full glass is now inches from the bottom of it and she blinks. Even she's surprised she's downed that much just now.
Leon's question, however, makes her look between the two adults. Then her mind briefly clicks back to her... educational discussion with Cecil about men, women, children, and how they all combine. Xion blinks, opens her mouth to ask the first question to pop in her head, but smartly closes it after. Didn't Cecil say sex was also a private manner? Huh...
Now she looks confused. ]

[But then Leon gets her attention and Lightning nods, smiling softly and taking one sandwich to slowly eat it, just enjoying breakfast. Leon's cooking is as good as ever, and it certainly sates the appetite she didn't know she had. Xion draining all that milk that quickly gets Lightning to look over at her pupil in time to see her confused look. What could be going through her mind?]
What is it?

[ He's glancing the girl's way. ] She can handle it. She's a fighter, too.
[ It's not that he wants to override Lightning, honest, it's just that he feels Xion deserves to be trusted. That said, he aware Xion might want to push herself beyond her capabilities--but he definitely knows Light'll step in if that's the case.
At Light's question, he double-takes at Xion, then blinks. Whatever Light noticed, he certainly didn't. ] Hm?

No harm in asking, right? ]
Have you two had sex?
Reply
As it was, though, that cannot not be a good sound that she just made, what that it sounds like a strangled, drowned cat in the back of her throat as she just...stares at Xion. Where in all the worlds had that come out of?]
What?
[...eloquent, Farron. Real eloquent.]

He blinks. Repeatedly. His nose turns pink. He is going to find whoever told xion that sex wasn't a polite thing to ask about and strangle them. ]
Ah--Xion!
[ Leon's thought process: fhsdjkfhdsjkfhsdjkfhvsdk ]

Obliviousness. Really. ]
Hmm... Your reactions were just like his when he and I were talking about it...
[ SOMEONE GOT THE TALK... albeit, a bit too much information for her to process that well yet. Add to the fact she's woken up early and has only had something to eat now, and was thrown around earlier... ]
Reply
Just, give her a second, Xion, before she shakes her head and blows her bangs from her eyes. Never expected to have to do this again...not after Serah.]
Xion, that's...that's not something you just ask someone. Not in public.
Reply
Leon exhales and gathers his composure again, arms crossing over his chest. ]
Xion, whoever told you about that stuff...they should have told you that it isn't polite to ask about. In private, maybe, with another woman, but not out here. All right?
[ God, he's still blushing, no matter how serious he looks. HE IS HOISTING THIS ONE ON LIGHT AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY. ]
Reply
But... It's just you two, and we're the only ones around.
[ They're still near the "home," and it was early enough that hardly anyone is traipsing about the beach at this moment. ]
I was just wondering... since you two seemed very close. [ Bows head. ] I'm sorry.
Reply
Just because two people are close doesn't mean they've slept with each other. It's not as simple as that, and asking can make things awkward.
[And yet, her tone is rather clinical at the moment; she's just...trying to keep from choking on her words again.]
Reply
His face flickers to Xion, obviously annoyed. He enjoys her friendship, of course, but so help him, if she's fucked up his chances there will be Words. ]
It's also not your business, Xion. It's something private, between two people, and you shouldn't pry. [ A pause, and he exhales. ] ...but it's all right. [ He thinks. He hopes. ] Apology accepted.
Reply
Well, so much for that.
Even if Leon says the apology is accepted, she doesn't know what to do or say anything further without possibly making more damage. She's gone quiet. ]
