"I think so, yeah," Lea said to Roxas. It was really too specific to be otherwise.

But he quickly refocused his attention on Xion, giving her a look somewhere between puzzled and slightly annoyed though he kept his tone calm. "Xion, I don't know where you'd get the idea that anyone in authority around here would listen to me," he said. "And I can't fix everything. In fact, I can't fix most things. You really..." He sighed. "You can't keep putting me on a pedestal like you do. Because trust me, that's the last place I belong."

"And speaking of trust, you could try trusting your friends a bit," he said. "I've told you and Roxas has told you that the connection that caused the energy draining problem with the two of you is gone. Why do you keep insist on believing otherwise? I mean if anyone would know, it'd be Roxas, since he's the furthest along of any of us, time-wise, so you could try taking his word for it."
