Claire woke up in her room just like before, with little idea of how she actually got there. This time, though, she noticed something different about the room. There was another young woman, a blond, sleeping in a bed across from her. Before questioning that, though, she made sure to hide the items she'd gotten that night in her closet, shutting

"I don't think I fit most definitions of 'all right,'" he said after a few moments, his voice rather low mostly so he wouldn't have to move his mouth much. "Nothing immediately fatal, though, provided nothing gets infected, so in that respect I'd say yes."

"Um... I just wanted to ask you... You were Luxord and Xigbar. Where were they going?" Naminé had the feeling she knew the answer to this, but some confirmation would be nice. Depending on the man's answer, perhaps she would have a different agenda for tonight.

"You showed up last night. Did you want them to find you, or was that a coincidence?"

"Y-Yes, that's me... I'm sorry, I was actually trying to run away," Naminé admitted. She didn't know what it was, but ever since the meeting, she had been wary of Luxord and Xigbar's true intentions. She knew that the Organization was slowly, but surely "reforming" as it were, and she wasn't sure if it was something she wanted to get caught up in again. Naminé was able to cut ties with the Organization before, but she had protection and a small amount of power. Here, she truly had nothing.
"Do you know why they were coming for me?" She asked. She wasn't sure how much this man knew (or if he even cared), but it was something Naminé needed to know. Of course, finding out from Luxord and Xigbar themselves would have been better, but they certainly wouldn't show up here, she figured.

"They told me they wanted to protect you," he said after a few moments of silence. "What can you do?" That was the real question, and he figured he was more likely to get the answer directly from the girl rather than II or X. She didn't look like a skilled liar... though, granted, that didn't mean anything.

"Huh? Oh..." What could she 'do'? She wasn't sure how to answer that. Saying nothing would be an obvious lie, but Naminé could not do much anymore. Should she tell him what she used to be able to do or what she could do now?
"... I have a very good memory. I have memorized almost everything I have seen so far," Naminé explained. She didn't go further than that. What she could do back "home" was useless information now.

It wouldn't have made sense to anyone listening in, but Naminé had her reasons for wanting to avoid the Organization. If only they knew... well, they would know if she told them, but Naminé never liked telling anyone about her past. Why bring it up now? And this stranger certainly didn't need another sob story.
"I think you're right... I'm sorry, I'm getting the past scare me more than it should. I'm sorry I caused so much trouble last night," Naminé sighed. Maybe tonight, she would make an effort to meet Luxord and Xigbar again (the idea of waiting for them to get her still didn't bode well with her. She wasn't that useless, was she?). "I just didn't know what to think of it, that was all..."
