stubborn vs stubborn

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Who: Xion & Fang (Leon and Lightning can join, too!)
Where: Saffron City
When: December 23rd; several hours after this
Summary: It takes a lot of planning to keep a stubborn person down... or to just have another stubborn person step up to the plate. Fang seems to be that person.
Rating: PG? There might be some action, but nothing too bad.
Log:

Phew...

[ It's still mid-afternoon, and the sun's still sorta up. Good thing she woke up extra early today... or not. After that brief incident of blood and Riku's insistence (as well as others') for her to stay in bed a little longer, Xion did obey and has gotten a few more hours of rest.

A few.

Now Xion's slipped out of bed and moving around, gathering things and putting on clothes. Axel the Typhlosion and Bahamut the Gabite stand off to the side while Xion rummages amongst her things for her wooden Keyblade. Once she does, she turns to them, knowing the stern looks on their faces. ]

It's only a walk out, and others are coming... I should at least greet them and show them around, right?

[ Axel puffs out a cloud of smoke in his version of a sigh and Bahamut yelps but doesn't do anything further when Xion moves to walk out of the Center. They follow, trying to be quiet themselves since it seems the staff are busy to look out for her at the moment. Riku also seemed to be out doing his own thing once Xion began to rest. Xion's done this kind of sneaking thing before.

Hopefully it works! ]

Is she supposed to worry about? I have fun just training with her...

[ If there's a joke, where is it. orz ]

[titanite.livejournal.com]

[ Fang laughs and shakes her head in mock chagrin. ] Maker, it's both of ya. Good thing I'm here to lend a hand.

[ And then, more for Xion's benefit: ]

Training and fun ain't mutually exclusive. There's just more to life than trainin' all the time. Can't be so serious - 'specially not a kid like you. It ain't healthy.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't try to have fun. I do try to balance things out.

[ Though Xion's quick to realize that the scales were obviously being tipped to one side as of late. Maybe it is a good thing Fang's here. ]

I just feel like I'm more of a use to people when I'm training - Pokemon or by myself - and when I'm working.

[ Usually the line of "working" involves helping lots of people. There's a pattern. ]

[titanite.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be "of use" to people all the time, y'know. People aren't gonna like you only cause you do stuff for 'em. Not the good ones, at least.

[ Maker, this kid. Fang's not entirely sure if she wants to shake Xion or hug her. But, speaking of fun: ]

Alright then, what do ya do for fun?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

I like collecting sea shells, but since we're not near the beach, I usually go to the roof of the highest building and ice cream if I can.

[ It reminds her a lot of home. Just quieter sometimes. ]

[titanite.livejournal.com]

You're easy to please. Least there should be a building big enough for ya here.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

There is. It's usually the Department Store. Maybe you can join me one day, Fang?

[titanite.livejournal.com]

Sure. Whenever you'd like, long as you can get up there.

[ No, she hasn't forgotten about you being three kinds of broken. ] Though least now I know what to get ya as a present.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Huh? What's that?

[ Why can't people overlook that. It's only an elevator ride up... ]

[titanite.livejournal.com]

[ She grins. Too easy, Xion. ]

A surprise.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ She pouts, scrunching up her face in concentration in figuring out what that "surprise" could be, but... ]

Oh. Okay.

[titanite.livejournal.com]

[ Fang laughs. Poor Xion, left to the tender mercies of the tease. ]

I'll give it to ya when we go to that roof of yours. And no, it ain't ice cream.

So how much longer 'til someone figures out you're missing and raises a fuss?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ --... Oh crap. It even shows on her face. ]

Lightning and Leon should be coming soon...

[titanite.livejournal.com]

Want to play the innocent and hide back in your bed?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ She checks the street. Sheesh, how long did they wander for? ]

Hopefully we make it in time.

[titanite.livejournal.com]

[ Long enough apparently. ]

Don't rush. Wouldn't be good for ya, and I'll cover ya if need be.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay.

[ She just hopes Lightning won't immediately put a lot of blame on Fang or anything. Starts to walk back, a bit fast in her step. ]

[titanite.livejournal.com]

[ Fang can handle herself. And Lightning. ]

Ya can't take it easy, can ya?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

What?

[ Almost starts. At least she's not rushing out back, right? ]

[titanite.livejournal.com]

Said take your time and you're rushing anyway.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

It sounded like they were coming just after you, so...

[titanite.livejournal.com]

So what? I said I'd cover you. Lightning's gonna be more upset if you start bleeding everywhere again.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe we'll get lucky and they're not here yet.

[titanite.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Lady Luck's usually pretty kind to me, thankfully. She might take a shine to ya as well.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Lady Luck...? Oh, you believe in her, too?
