[Roxas sounds especially annoyed and harassed today, yet rather resigned.]

Oof—hey, stop shoving—it's one of those weekends again, huh?

Hey, new people, try to be a little more considerate. I know it's confusing but some of us live here. Don't be so pushy.

So, anyone I know show up this time? [There might be one or two people he hopes will show up one day.]

[OOC: GO FOURTH WALL GO. Canonmate visitors would be especially loved.]

... we were best friends. [ Her smile broadens, but somehow gets sadder. ] You, me, and Axel. We thought we'd be together forever.

But ... it just wasn't meant to be. As much as I wanted it... I had something else to do. Something really important.

[ She knows his future, too. And Axel's. Oh, did she cry over Axel's. ]

We were in the Organization together. All three of us. You were my first friend. [ Emotions flash over her face, bittersweet and deeply nostalgic. ]

[binarysky]

[He listens carefully, trying to connect it to an anything in his memory. There's nothing specific, not at first, but he finds himself nodding along with her words. Yes, all that happened.]

And we had...ice cream, didn't we?

A little something extra. For doing a good job.

.... yeah. You remember.

[ A little. She remembers the long uphill struggle with her own Roxas, too. How long it took for him to really remember everything. ]

Do you remember ... what flavor?

[binarysky]

[He'll get there, Xion. Just keep waiting, if you can.]

Come on, it's always sea salt. [He lets out a shaky laugh.] And this one time...you used the Keyblade, and I had...a stick...

[fourteen]

[ She'd wait a long time, for him.

His reaction, and the other detail he recalls, makes her laugh. ]

I remember! I was kind of worried. I didn't think it would work! But you managed. It was kind of funny, watching you swing that stick around at all the Heartless!

[binarysky]

[The laughter is infection, and it comes a little easier for him this time.]

Hey, what else was I supposed to use? I wasn't as good at magic as you, and it was the only thing around! How else were you supposed to...I mean...

[His face grows more serious.] We had to keep it a secret...so Saix wouldn't know.
