..unexpected.

I apologise for my rather sudden vanishing act - it was not a good time in which to disappear, but I do believe that having stayed behind with what happened would have been an unwise action. Because the last time the bleeding started it seemed to upset quite a few of you, and I wouldn't want it to interfere negatively with your, ah

You... hn.

I... I wish to apologise. For overreacting over the whole Luxord affair. I simply... well, I suppose I do not exactly have an excuse for it, but. ...I've always been told I've been rather possessive since I became a Nobody.

...Xigbar and I would like you to come to the party with us. If you're willing to, at least.

[ooc; it's so hard for him to apologise, yay ego. XD but he wants to make things riiight again. ♥

Private to Xemnas

[wind_of_despair]

You needn't apologise to me, Xemnas. I'm not the one slighted, but one of the flock that stepped out of line, so to speak. And yet, even it was slightly founded, perhaps you did overreact slightly by threatening Luxord with yet another death. I'm not pointing fingers, but perhaps it's about time to stop rounding on our comrades with harsh words and actual violence.

As for that invitation, I don't think I could possibly say no. ♥

[ Xaldin knows how hard it is to apologise. He's a type A example of PRIDE ISSUES GONE WRONG. He knows. Notice lack of return apology. ]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

Yes, I did. And I suppose I shall also have to apologise to Luxord, in due time. My reaction to the situation... was hardly warranted. Thus, the apology.

...I didn't threaten his life this time, actually, as tempted as I was to do so. I suppose you're right, however; and even if I did kill him, it wouldn't be as though it would make anyone feel any better about this whole situation.

...hm, glad to hear it. ♥

[ If Xemnas had a heart, Xaldin would've just hurt his feelings!!1! Lack of return apology noted, and Xaldin is like... King Pride. Or something. ♥ ]

Private to Xemnas

[wind_of_despair]

Mm, well, consider it accepted, albeit unnecessary and yet appreciated. I hope we can just put all this behind us in due time. Along with the very idea that we would be willing to even consider laying hand on our fellows.

Xigbar is attending then, is he..?

[ King of Pride ROCK, and you know it! Xaldin lion goes grar. Even if he's a little hesitant about how Xigbar is feeling at the moment.]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

...good. And, I am sure that we will be able to without too much fuss. Though, as you know, I cannot vouch for Xigbar -- you know he has not been happy with Luxord since the new year, and well. This did make it considerably worse. I doubt that that will ever be truly rectified, but we can hope.

...yes, he is. I know that this... may be incredibly hard, but. We must try and fix things, the three of us.

[ I was so thinking that, and I suppose it doesn't help that I have the KHII Pride Rock music playing, oops. Xemnas just pats him on the head and tries to reassure him that everything will work out okay in the end. ♥ ]

Private to Xemnas

[wind_of_despair]

I realise this, and it doesn't make any of us any happier. Granted, I think that too was quite an overreaction in its own right, but.. Like you said, it's Xigbar. Man is passionate, if nothing else, I fear. I would like to try and see if I can't get ahold of him before anything else happens. Just because they tend to do so at the worst possible times.

So long as there are two of us two hold a third back, I'm certain that we will be able to overcome any stressful situation we might encounter. We did so before. We can do it again, and come back out on top.

[ Wear the little frilly blue dress and don your bonnet and Xaldin might actually believe you :< ]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

If someone you cared for was kidnapped, would you not do the same? Or at the very least, consider it? Though Luxord is still a member of the Organization, I... cannot help but stand by Xigbar's actions. I highly doubt anything else will happen; I spoke with him about it, and he will only retaliate if Luxord starts something. And I think Ten has learned his lesson, or one would indeed hope so. Being murdered is unpleasant, and it has happened twice to him. Death is a tough lesson indeed, even though it isn't permanent here.

Xigbar said that he would simply leave if Luxord tried anything, so I am certain we shall not have to worry too much about that. Nevertheless, I am sure we will, if it comes down to it.

[ ...Xemnas frowns in your general direction! ...and goes to don his bonnet and little frilly blue dress, because he'll do anything so that Xaldin will believe him, but you didn't hear that from me. ♥ ]

.. .. ..

This whole ordeal is starting to tire me something greatly. It's as if we've been reduced to pickering midwives with nothing better to do than fake jealousy when someone gives someone else a peculiar look.

[ We like him scowling though, we really do. Xaldin approves of the dress, and gives Xemnas some extra private time for wearing it ♥ Because if the man's willing to try that hard, he sure should have something for his efforts. And besides. That staff is handy. ]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

...well, you should have thought about that beforehand, shouldn't you.

Nevertheless, the past is the past. We cannot change it, no matter how hard we try to. And therefore, if you wish, we can simply drop it, and not speak of it again.

[ SCOWLSCOWLSCOWL. He can scowl for you aaaall afternoon, if you like. Xemnas hoped that he would, and appreciates that ♥ And he's all too willing to wear it for him a bit more often, if that's his reward ♥ It is indeed. ]

Private to Xemnas

I wasn't thinking at all, that was the whole thing. I started out being so drunk I couldn't even crawl, and then I was being pushed facedown into a bed. There really wasn't much room for thoughts at the time.
If you feel it prudent, we may ignore it. I don't care either way - I just want the three of you to be able to be in the same room as eachother again. I'd like to be able to have a game of poker, and not have to worry about the cards getting singed by the tension in the air.

[ Xaldin gnaws on his fist so bad to keep himself from typing "Why don't we just get together all four of us and let bygones be bygones instead? ♥". I also just got this adorable mental picture of Xaldin's top half vanished in under all that skirt and fluffery and underskirts and upholstery and woo xD All. "Where the HELL is your GROIN?" ]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

I could have come to that conclusion myself, but I digress. There is no use in dwelling on it, and you and Luxord seem content with the outcome; who am I to say anything?
It is highly unlikely that that will happen anytime soon, but... perhaps it will be a possibility in the future. And I didn't mean ignore; I simply meant it so that it wasn't brought up in conversation every five minutes where you, Xigbar and I are concerned. Things will never be as they were in the days of Radiant Garden, but we can still try. Can we not?

[ XEMNAS WOULD NOT APPROVE, as hot as his mun thinks that could be. ...I. asdfgjkl;l that mental image is indeed adorable, and ohgodstopmefromactuallywritingaficletIbegofyou. And then Xemnas would probably pout and/or glare, and not know whether to take that as an insult or a compliment. xDD ]

Private to Xemnas

[wind_of_despair]

Technically you have all right to say whatever you like, as is everyone else, but everyone else has tact not to because they're not involved in the way that you are. Let's just take, accept, and drop, Xemnas. It's my two munny, and might not be what works for you or Xigbar or even Luxord, but it's what I'm going to do.
And, you know, I wasn't planning to. Of course. You never do get your youth back, but that doesn't mean that things can't be just as comfortable when you get your heart back - which is more doable than regaining lost time.

[ Xaldin knooows so he won't, but the urge was there. Everything can be solved through sex ♥ But I WANT that ficlet, because your ficlets are short and - damn it - cute, and you could totally pull it off. It's more amusing than adorable, but. You know. Quite writable~ ]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

...I suppose there is little I can do about it, so if I were to protest it would be a waste of breath. No, I am not happy about this, but. I only want what is best for you and Xigbar, and if that is what is best for you... so be it.
Mmm. I'll take your word for it? That is indeed true. I suppose we shall just have to wait and see how things turn out.

[ As true as that iiiis, good Xaldin. Maybe suggest it later when they don't all want to see each other's head on a silver platter. ♥ ...D:: I told you not to encourage meee! Sob. Alright, I will certainly do my beeeest, but you get all the blame~ In a purely loving sort of way, of course. ♥ ]

Private to Xemnas

[wind_of_despair]

Considering I'm not a victim of this melodrama, it would please me more if you wanted what was best for Xigbar and yourself, dear.
They'll be fine, I know it. Patience is what we need right now.

[ And you know what? I quite enjoy being your perpetrator ♥ Think of all the ficbits I will write this month, and let it be your carrot. Or something. ]

Private to Xaldin

[firstsilence]

... ... As true as that may be, that you aren't a 'victim', I will stick to what I said. Even though I would prefer to please you.
We have a lot of time; therefore, we will have to have a lot of patience to go with it. They will be indeed.

[ I'm glad to hear that~ ♥ And in return, you get ficlets about Xemnas in a dress and the apprentices playing poker. ... *clings to the ficbits* ♥ ]

.. .. Are we still talking about humouring someone, or are we using the word pleasure's other meaning now.
