Lea would be quite willing to tell Roxas about the situation with the bullies and how that had fallen out later on. As well as pointing out the offenders for Roxas to check up on- just in case they thought Lea was the only one they'd have to deal with if they caused trouble again. But as Roxas clearly knew, that discussion could wait until later.
"Roxas and Isa are both right," he said to Xion. "I didn't want my heart back to feel only part of the emotional spectrum; I wanted it all, good, bad, and indifferent. And still do. Yeah, things like anger or sadness might not be fun in the short term, but they're just as important as happier emotions, to a person and to a friendship."
"It's like...", he said, trying to find a metaphor that Xion would understand, before being hit by a small burst of inspiration. "It's like with sea salt ice cream. The reason it's so good is that you have both the sweet and the salty together. Yeah, you don't want it all to be salty, but all sweet isn't any better. Too much sweet, and it gets to be cloying, like the chocolate ice cream was that first night. You need both things, or else it just doesn't work."
"And I'm willing to bet that the reason people get upset when you explain who and what you are probably has a lot more to do with the fact that the Organization was just plain terrible and no one should have had to go through the kind of crap you and Roxas did than anything involving what you look like," he said. "There's a difference between people being upset for you and people being upset at you." After all, if there was one thing everyone in the room could agree on, it was how much the Organization sucked.
