A Disorganization Of Introductions - OTA

[nobodys_puppet]

Now that Xion and Lea have found each other, Xion isn’t letting him out of her sight if she can avoid it, afraid to find out that this wasn’t actually real. And that seemed to be mutual, so the two can be spotted the next day constantly with each other, as Xion shows him around from what she’s discovered. Which… mostly means good places to hide.

Xion’s hood would seem to be up to everyone but Lea until she actually pulls it down in the individual threads.

Locked to Fluttershy

Spotting the other girl she hesitated, then looked up at Lea and then, forgetting that she could be heard, “She…. said she wants to be my friend….” He would know what she should do… right? He always knew what she and Roxas should be doing.

Hero Worship has clearly not taken any noticeable hits. And common sense is at its usual low. Have fun with that.

Though the voice wasn't too loud, the familiarity of it caught her attention. Glancing over, she blinked a bit in surprise when she saw both of them.

"Oh...hello."

[nobodys_puppet]

She nodded once. "Hello."

[hotheadwarmheart]

Ah, it was that colorful girl who objected to him not wanting a pet rat. Not the best first impression to make. Well, guess he'd just have to roll with it. "Hey there," Lea said. "I... don't think I caught your name before. Mine's Lea."

[shiningkindness]

For her part, she at least looked a bit sheepish as she also remembered the last time they met. Still, she managed a small smile as she nodded.

"It's nice to meet you, Lea," she replied. "...O-Officially, I mean. I'm...Fluttershy."

[nobodys_puppet]

should she say that she calls him Axel still because he said it was okay so this girl wouldn't be confused? Or not because that would make it more confusing? Unsure she stood there and let him handle the social thing for now. She was still trying to figure out if it was alright to have a friend other than him and Roxas....

[hotheadwarmheart]

Lea nodded, smiling a bit too. "Good to officially meet you too, Fluttershy," he said. "So, how'd you and Xion meet? Hopefully it was a little less awkward than how we did." Though honestly, given Xion, the odds of that were only about 50/50.

[nobodys_puppet]

Hey, have some Xion confusion.

"It was awkward when we met?" she asked, unsure.

[hotheadwarmheart]

"No, I meant how me and Fluttershy met," Lea clarified. "She and I actually met yesterday when I was kinda arguing with some school officials who were trying to give me a pet rat that I didn't really want." Xion may have seen said rat in its cage next to Lea's bed.

[nobodys_puppet]

"O...oh. Sorry."

[shiningkindness]

She gave Xion a gentle smile. "It's okay," she said. Then she glanced back at Lea. "I think we had arrived around the same time, and met during the welcome they had for the students from different worlds. She...had gotten her foot tangled up in some tree roots, and I was trying to help her get unstuck."

She decided not to mention how long that had actually taken.

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion did not spare herself. She looked up at Axel. "She is one of the ones who tried to stop me from killing myself when I thought that I had failed."

[hotheadwarmheart]

Lea nodded his understanding. He was aware of what Xion had been trying to do and why, and though it disturbed him, he was there now. He'd make sure she never had cause to try or think she'd need to try ever again.

"Then I guess I really owe you one," he said turning back to Fluttershy. "You and everybody else that helped her. You helped make sure I got my friend back."

[nobodys_puppet]

She gave Axel a smile from under her hood. He understood. She knew he would. And now that Sora was awake... there was no need for her to try it again. She just.. had to help him get Roxas back, and find a way to keep herself from leeching his health and power.

[shiningkindness]

Glancing between the two of them, she smiled and shook her head.

"Well...I can't really speak for everyone else, but you don't owe me anything," she replied. "I'm happy to help. And I'm so glad you two were able to find each other again."

She still wanted to be Xion's friend - both of their friends, really - but even more than that, she was just glad that Xion had a friend to help look out for her.

[nobodys_puppet]

And that right there was what Xion did not understand about this girl. Why would she want to help people she hadn't known before?

[hotheadwarmheart]

Lea smiled right back. "Yeah," he said. "And I'm glad Xion has other friends here too, or at least prospective friends. She's been showing me around, introducing me to some of the people she met while she's been here.

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion stayed quiet, listening to them talk.

[shiningkindness]

"Oh really? That's good. Hopefully they've all been nice."

Just from the little she knew about Xion, it sounded like she could use a lot of kindness in her life.

[nobodys_puppet]

She managed not to make a rude noise, thinking of Atem.

[hotheadwarmheart]

"Well the ones I've met so far have been alright at least," Lea said. "Though one of them- Webby- was kinda hyper."

[shiningkindness]

She can't help a small giggle. "Oh yeah. Webby is pretty...energetic." Which is just a nicer way of saying what Lea had. "She kind of reminds me of a friend I have back home, though."

[nobodys_puppet]

"She climbed onto the roof from a window once, to try and talk to me..." Xion said quietly. That had been a little disturbing, at the time.

[shiningkindness]

Honestly, that wasn't the strangest thing she'd ever heard.

"You should see my friend, Pinkie Pie. We're pretty sure she can teleport, with how she can just suddenly appear in places."

[nobodys_puppet]

"Like... like the dark corridors?" she asked, startled.
