[There's one name on there that definitely makes him react.] What...

You bastards! Why didn't you say anything about this before?!

[ ... ]

It's fine. I'll be fine.

[ her voice is quiet, and even, but very tense. even if she will be fine, it's clear she's not at all happy about this. ]

Let's do our best, huh?

[ there's a quiet intake of breath -- and then she nods, with sudden fire ]

Okay.

Don't worry, Xion! We'll be okay.

[Ven's not happy about it either, but Xion's his friend and, darn it, he wants to be encouraging.]

I know we will.

[ said with quiet confidence. she's still not happy, but ... she meant it when she said she'd be fine. ]

Ven... if I don't see you, just ... make sure to keep in contact with me, okay?

It's not fine, damn it, you don't even have time to-!

[And that would be the sound of his fist hitting the desk. Damn it. Damn it, first Tear and now-

Damn it.]

Luke... Really, it's okay.

It's not-

["It's not okay" "It's fine" "It's not fine" "It's okay", they're just going to go in circles at this rate. Luke clenches his fist, takes in a deep breath, ducks his head so that the journal is out of sight, and speaks again. His voice sounds like he's holding back the urge to yell again, to keep shouting at the Malnosso who won't reply to him, but that won't help her at all.]

... It's not okay. But it's not like I can stop this. [Damn it.]

Just be careful. Please.

[ ... he's right. it's not okay. at all. she's frightened, but not of the battle. she's scared of Vanitas. of whatever these "Shift incompatibilities" might be.

she doesn't want to kill. the thought disturbs her.

there's a tense silence, of a few moments, before she speaks up, low. ] ... are you busy?

No, not really. [Even if he was, he'd probably drop everything now.]

.... I'm -- can I come over? [ she knows she probably doesn't have to ask, but ... the formality of it. she's already getting her things to head out. ]

Of course.

[He'll even go unlock the door and wait in the living room. And tap his foot in anxiousness. And generally look unhappy.]
