Vincent moved, very slightly, from the gentle touch of a hand. Normally in his adulthood he never enjoyed touch unless he was the one who had initiated the contact and would lash out. In his sleeping state, he did more than make another sound and turn his head away slightly. However, when she started to drag him the sounds he made became more than just a little disgruntled, as if he was an unruly child that didn't wish to be moved and was too stubborn to do more than make noises about it.

For a while, the young man seemed to have settled again into the peaceful slumber he had fallen into. After a moment his body tensed with gloved fingers curling on the grass, "Ah..?" The sleep may have been deep, but it seemed to have fallen into being one of the shorter naps, "This isn't-"

Pushing himself up part way to a sit on the grass, the single red wine colored eye fell upon Xion as his head tilted, offering an outwardly pleasent smile, "Did you move me, Miss?" Clearly remembering he'd not been close enough to any grass to find himself on a patch of it by his own doing.

Xion started and looked down. In the relative silence between him waking up she had let her mind wander. Actually, she had been thinking about Axel and Roxas and what they were doing right now and if they were sleeping and how long it had been since she'd been gone and if they had given up looking for her.

"Yes." she replied, looking a hint apologetic. "I moved you in case you got stepped on - I thought about taking you to an inn, but I thought it was best to wait until you woke up to see what you wanted to do. Did you pass out, sir?"

She looked concerned. Maybe he hadn't been eating.

A hand moved to hide his yawning behind it after sitting himself up better on the ground. He still seemed to be rather drowsy, smiling pleasently despite, "In a manner of speaking, you could say that I did pass out," Giving a helpless little shrug as his head tilted, "It was kind of you to take it upon yourself, Miss. Thank you, usually my servent watches over me when she's around or someone who knows me will move me."

Vincent spoke as if it was nothing out of the ordinary for a grown man to simply drop. It was for him, of course, and he had grown used to it happening over time after contracting with Dormouse.

[oblitus_clavis]

"So this happens to you a lot?" she raised her eyebrows slightly. "Me and a friend used to do that at intervals, luckily we always ended up in our rooms."

A servant? Is he royal? Where are his friends? But a more important and even scarier thought crept up on her - what if that happened again while she was here? Roxas had been out for weeks. It could happen to her too though.

"So I guess you ended up here by yourself like me." she murmured. "I'm Xion, by the way."

[dreamydrowsy]

"Mm," Vincent nodded as h arranged himself to sit on his knees, not at all worried about grass stains on clothing, most of it was black after all, "More often than not. Sometimes I can get to my room before, and others it simply creeps up on me."

It didn't hurt to speak of such a mundane thing, as it was probably going to be found out by others eventually. Gilbert did have reason to worry about that, he supposed. It was probably why he han't wanted him to go off on his own.

He shook his head slowly, "I was lucky enough to have my big brother come here as well," Along with that little brat Oz and Lotti of the Baskervilles, "He's busy elsewhere I'd imagine." Probably off running around with the Vessalius brat. "Vincent Nightray. A pleasure, Miss Xion."

[oblitus_clavis]

"My friend once slept like that nearly a whole month." she said. "I'm glad you woke up."

Xion was dressed in black as well. But she wasn't the one to worry about staining things anyway - although it had crossed her mind that maybe she needed to find some alternate things to wear. It's not like anyone was enforcing dress code here.

"Well, it's good you have someone...what's it like to have a brother?"

[dreamydrowsy]

"Oh my," He sounded almost awed by such a thing, "That is an awefully long time to sleep, it is a good thing Dormouse has never put me to sleep for so long."

White gloved hands rested neatly upon his lap after smoothing his sleeves and the frills at the end of shirt sleeves, fingers curled together. At times he did seem to act like a child in a man's body, be it small subtle things or in much more noticable ways.

"It's like having someone there that will always watch over, love, and help take care of you. Big brother has always been good to me when we found eachother again."

[oblitus_clavis]

Her brow creased a little. "I have too, actually, but I don't remember of course. And when I was awake, Roxas was waiting for me. But...it got more frequent over time. I hope it doesn't happen here."

"Roxas, Axel and I always look out for each other. Axel said that that's what friends do. Were you and your brother separated?"

[dreamydrowsy]

"Maybe it won't." He wouldn't know, nor did he really care if it did or didn't. This was more idle polite conversation to him.

That smile of his faltered only a little before returning, "For a while when we were children.." Vincent didn't like bringing up his childhood, or remembering most of it for that matter. It was a subject best left alone for the most part, before being adopted by the Nightray family anyway, "We found eachother again while still children."

[oblitus_clavis]

But she had no way of knowing that,so she smiled and tried to feel reassured.

Xion didn't really have a childhood to remember, not even from another life. Unless her childhood was Sora's childhood because she was his copy. But technically, all Nobodies (or beings created by Nobodies in this case) lives started at the age they came into being as. There was no such thing as a 'childhood' in Organization XIII. You came, you were named, you were introduced and formerly welcomed, then you were put to work.

"That's lucky for you both. I'm glad. I don't really have a family, but if I did I think I'd want to be with them."

[dreamydrowsy]

Vincent couldn't hide another yawn behind his hand so well as it came, his posture seeming to droop a bit along with his eyelids. It was as if sleep was trying to take him again and he was barely noticing it save for his body's natural movements.

"You may not have family, but you do have friends Miss Xion." His smile was dredfully sleepy, as were his words. His body even rocked very slightly once with a nodding forwards of his head, body catching itself. Vincent had nearly face planted while nodding off again.

[oblitus_clavis]

Well there he goes again. she thought, amused. But at least I know his brother is around somewhere now.

"Yeah." she agreed, smiling. "I do."

And she'd even made a few in this world. She watched him fall back asleep. She was content to sit there a while, glad for even unconscious company. But in a little while she;d have to move. The sun would set and then she' have to head back to the Carnival Grounds or find an inn. And she didn't even know how currency worked in this place yet.

[ooc: fin, I guess.]

[dreamydrowsy]

At the very least Vincent remained sitting up, even if his head bowed, body keeping itself balanced as he fell back into that sleep that had it's grip on him. It was a wonder he could sleep sitting up the way he was, rocking back and forth just a little.

If anything, something would cause him to slump over to his side to stop the rocking, curled up on the grass. It was a much better place than wher he had fallen the first time.
