[Day 3 - Text 001]

Something strange happened at school today. And I'm not talking about Julien ducking out on being the vocals for our band number. Okay, I know this is beside the point, but it was really cool. We went with our back-up plan and did this song called "Ballroom Blitz". It's still so amazing that I can actually play an instrument

Oh... So that's why you wanted to see me?

[Completely overlooking some of his other observations concerning her at the moment... although, frankly, she was really nervous that she had let on so much. Notebooks though...? Hm...]

Yeah. Most of it, anyway.

[It's late. He doesn't feel like pressing the matter of her knowing his name any further than he already has.]

There was another...? Nevermind. I'm sorry though. It was a long day. And I'm not used to these things either.

[Wasn't exactly lying.]

It's alright. Maybe we can find some time to talk about it again tomorrow.

[Another message arrives hot on the heels of that one.]

And Xion? Thank you.

[It took her a while to reply to that last one. Although she replies to both in one go. Look at her, getting all clever.]

Maybe. ...Hm? Thanks for what?

[There's quite a bit he feels strangely grateful for, but he figures he'll just go with the obvious and leave it at that.]

For not bolting when I showed up tonight. And for staying to talk a little.

[Hm.. She should have figured. But then Roxas could have his unpredictable moments, too.]

...It's no problem. You seemed like you had a lot on your mind. So... If talking helped you clear things, then...

[Thinking about it, that was a lot done for him and hardly anything to give little-miss-worried-looks some needed emotional comfort.]

All the same. You've seemed kind of worked up since we first met. If I could do anything similar for you, don't hesitate to ask.

[But that was perfectly fine with her. The more spotlight on him, the better. Any concern for her own well being pretty much went out the window when it came to him.]

...I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Roxas. I'll see you at school tomorrow?

[Of course, once he starts seeing the bigger picture of things and starts putting it all together... we'll see how long he lets her neglect herself.]

Sure. I'm not sure if we've got any classes together, but lunch at least?

[And that's when she would get to play 'Dodge that Bullet'. Honesty would always follow her. But a clever 'round about way of avoiding giving out vital information? Well.]

Right. I'll be there.
