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! ]

[A sigh; in theory, sacrificing oneself for friends and family is the noble thing to do and even Lightning would do it to protect her, but she's also been on the surviving end, and it sucks. But try convincing Xion of that.]

She might, if you tell her we weren't human either for a while. I'm not sure, but I think she thinks she doesn't have a right to live because she's not as human as her friends.

Not as- [ She glances sharply at Lightning, but stops herself before completing the question. No, if that's something that Xion wants to tell her, then Xion will do it when she's ready. There's a difference between coordinating with Lightning and betraying Xion's trust. ]

Thanks. I'll remember that.

[ That does help, as it's not something Fang would've thought to mention. She finds herself relaxing slightly, tension she didn't know she was carrying draining from her shoulders. She'd thought bringing that up might touch an old wound in Lightning, but she has to remember that it is older; maybe it's lucky that Light's been here longer. ]

...Anyway, you should take one. I think they're close to hatchin', so I'd rather it meet you first. FIgured this would be practical enough for ya, long as you don't already have a Shinx.

[Lightning nods in the face of that sharp glance; she's said enough for Fang to get what she means without having to be flat out told like she was, and it's obvious the other woman gets it. No need to delve any deeper into that...yet, anyway. Old as it is, Lightning likes to avoid digging into that wound. Still hurts sometimes.

Which is why she'll be focusing on those eggs now, contemplating them with a soft look on her face.]

No Shinx. Just a Pikachu who might get jealous of another little one showing up all of a sudden.

[ Fang hadn't expected that expression, but it's only a surprise for a second - it makes perfect sense once she thinks about it. She can't help a smile. ]

Tell 'em to play nice. You'll love 'em both the same.
