What... was that?
[His voice sounds angry, and he is--really, seriously pissed, actually. What kind of resort does things like this? And won't let anyone leave? After a moment of angry seething, he just sighs. He'll let it go, for now. Until he can get more information.]
Is everyone else okay? I'm am, but... just... fighting those things wasn't

[She's not quite comfortable with letting him know what she can do, just yet. There are way too many variables here. So she tries to smile, to be pleasant -- it sounds a little hollow, but she's starting to get a little better at it. She's still not sure whether that's a good thing.]
What's wrong?

I have some powers that aren't working. It's making it hard to fight.

You're not injured, are you?

[...Well, she needs to know. She doesn't like playing dumb (it feels too much like lying) but...]
...You mentioned... 'powers'?
[Her voice sounds, to her at least, suitably mixed between curiosity and incredulity, but what it really is is discomfort. ...Yep, definitely like lying.]

I have a weapon I can use, but it's not as easy as it used to be. It takes a lot of energy. And it couldn't even hurt those things.

[She pauses for a moment, considering her options. She... could try to get more information. He didn't really seem to want to tell her anything more, but would he, if she asked? ...Was it worth it? Was it worth this awful sensation in her gut? Was it worth lying - or at least something close?]
[...No, it wasn't. She would just have to assume that what he was talking about was what she thought it was. If it wasn't, well... theoretically, she'd find out sooner or later. But if it was a keyblade, then who was Not-Roxas, really?]
[Suddenly she realizes that she's been silent for a little too long. She clears her throat, and then says the first thing that comes to mind.]
That sounds... inconvenient.

[Then it hit him, what she wasn't saying, and hadn't even responded to.] So you don't have any powers at all?

[...She can't just leave it like that. But she can't tell him, either! Not with the Organization around. ...Not with him possible still being in the Organization. And she's not just going to lie straight out. She's not that far gone. ...Yet. But...]

Nothing that... would be useful in a fight.

Are they useful in other ways?

[This is dangerous territory, and she knows it, but... she can't shake the feeling that she should tell him, if only a little bit. That she should at least give him that. Her tone is... oddly resigned, and a little bit sad when she finally speaks up.]
They're--... They could be, I guess. It really depends on how you use them.
....
And who wants to use them.

[Oh. Oh. No wonder she hadn't wanted to talk about it. He knew what that was like... someone using your powers for their own goals. Being deceived. He knew that feeling, and if that had happened to her, he wouldn't press her any further.]
Sorry.

...It's alright. It's... not your fault.
[Is she stupid, for thinking that? He was a part of the Organization. For all she knew, he wasn't involved, but....]
[...But there was something like understanding that she could have sworn she heard.]

At least you're away from that now, right?
[He didn't realize until after he'd asked the question that she might not be. Stupid... still, it was out there now; he couldn't take it back.]
