Okay... [ She gave the cat a skeptical eye. ] Look, I don't really need anything, I just need to-- You know what, forget it.

[ The place apparently had it's queens and felines, but this was no Wonderland, and Roxas wasn't about to ask the cat for anything anytime soon (whom, thankfully, didn't seem to talk in riddles). She had more important things to do-- like finding Xion. And though her original destination was supposed to be Beast's Castle, it couldn't hurt to look around. ]

[ It was weird to find herself in different garments, and how it happened was a complete mystery to Roxas. But pondering would be a waste of searching time, so she quickly changed back into her Organization coat (she would need it for the dark corridor traveling, after all) and looked around.

A Garden, was right. And it really was just that. Lots of leafy greens and the like... It really did look nice. What really caught her attention, though, was an awfully familiar looking tower a few leagues away. ]

That's...! The clock tower from Twilight Town. But, how?!

[ video. ]
[ She took a cautious step back, unknowingly brushing her foot against the vines, causing the strange mechanism to turn on-- broadcasting her astonished countenance and stiffened form to other unknown persons. So much for stealth priorities. Saix would be very proud. ]

[her gaze flickers away, and she falls silent for a moment. She's starting to realize what this means, while wishing very hard it isn't true at the same time. Sora hadn't lost her memories--she was from a different time. Could Roxas be, too? And that meant so many important things hadn't happened yet...]

[to her shame, despite her vow to herself to tell only the truth from now on, she feels her resolve waver dangerously. She doesn't want to lose Roxas again. She can't. Let alone fight her...but how to make her understand?]

I--...we--....I need to see you. Talk to you. It's important...okay?

[ Roxas felt she was stalling, and truthfully thought, the faster Xion got back to the castle, the less Saix would snap out at them unfairly.

Or, maybe... she was the impatient one, after all. She couldn't understand why the other was so hesitant, but on the other hand... if Xion knew something she didn't, then would she finally get to know some of the things she had questions about? Maybe she found out something. Roxas would just have to hear her out.]

...Okay. [ She awkwardly jerks her thumb towards the clock tower.] Over at the clock tower?

[she nods.] I guess you noticed, huh. [her smile is strained, a little tired. She's been waiting for what feels like forever, and now that the moment is here...she can't hesitate. She just can't.]

Yeah. It's, uh...kinda out there. Can't miss it.

[ Her gaze lingered on the tower, wondering if it was a good idea to try to lighten up the conversation. ]

And...it's not like someone can just pick it up and plant it here.

[ ... ] How'd it get here the first place? Not that I'm complaining.

It's...this world. It's special. You can build things here easily, things you remember. So...I made it.

Right.

[ That sounded quite unbelievable, but even Axel didn't believe her when she said she could fly. Time to give the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't as if Xion would lie to her, anyway.

She smiles a little. ]

Nice choice. I couldn't have done better.

[she isn't too concerned about being believed right away because Roxas is back. She feels giddy and terrified at the same time.]

I'll see you soon.

Yeah... See you.

[ With that, Roxas fiddles with the vine. (How do you turn this thing off?)

And after a few moments, she wore an awkward grin as she somehow managed to switch the communication stream off, then stood up and walked towards their usual spot...in a different world, but like the details mattered for now.

No. In actuality, Roxas ran towards the tower-- maybe she got impatient, or maybe, she just wanted to see her friend face to face as fast as she could-- finally making it towards her destination and sat down on the ledge, catching her breath. ]

[she doesn't quite run, but hurries nonetheless. She doesn't even pause while climbing the stairs, no matter how breathless she gets. When she sees that familiar figure sitting with legs danging in thin air, she stops. She feels that odd fluttering feeling in her stomach, and clutches both hands to her chest.]

[the same, but different. The Roxas she'd met here so many times for ice cream was a boy, so there were slight differences. But this was her friend--she knew that. Appearances didn't matter.]

[she never thought she'd be able to see the sight of Roxas waiting for her ever again. The last time, she had been the one waiting. She almost wishes she had some ice cream to share, but that feels like a mockery after what she did.]

[and Roxas didn't know what had become of her, what had to become of her.]

[Xion takes a deep breath, and musters a smile. She is happy, despite everything. Shouldn't that be the important thing?]

Roxas.

[she takes one step, another...then wraps her arms around her friend from behind, tightly. This is real. She can feel tears prickling at her eyelids and blinks hastily.]

I'm...so happy you're here.
