[The video clicks on to show a nice, wide view of Elijah's room; he doesn't seem to know or notice it's on, but fortunately, he also doesn't seem to be doing anything scandalous. He steps down from a chair in the center of the room, his back to the camera, and glances up at the ceiling.]

That should do it, there... An' now the door...

What are you doing?

[feycarved]

Ah... Just settin' some wards, takin'...precautionary methods, you know. Don't worry yourself 'bout it none.

[memoryshell]

Precautionary methods against what?

[You just told Xion not to worry. Ha.]

[feycarved]

Against whoever or whatever might be wantin' to come in here without my knowin' or sayin' so.

[memoryshell]

Do you think someone will try?

[feycarved]

No way of knowin' for sure, but I ain't leavin' myself unprepared just in case.

[memoryshell]

Okay. I... never really thought that someone would try to get in my room without permission. I don't know why anyone would.

[feycarved]

Well, Xion, that might certainly be true in your case. But I've had too many close calls for me to be takin' my chances.

[memoryshell]

[She thinks of Xigbar. Elijah may catch a brief flash of worry and fear.]

... it used to be true, anyway.

[feycarved]

[He catches it, and it gives him some slight worry of his own.]

Now, why d'you say that?

[memoryshell]

There are some people that... Never mind.

[feycarved]

Some people?

You ain't in trouble, Xion, are you?

[memoryshell]

No, I'm not. Not as long as they don't find out what I can do. They don't remember me, after all.

[feycarved]

Ah-huh... An' just who is "they"?

[memoryshell]

Some people from the same place I am.

[feycarved]

Right.

Listen, Xion, if you need any help dealin' with these characters...
