[It takes every last drop of willpower Xion's got to swallow the shriek that bubbles up on her throat. As it is, she does fumble the pokégear, though she manages not to drop it.
His resemblance to Saix is so striking and strong that Xion is tempted to simply ignore him, but she can tell even at a glance that, similarities aside, this is not the same person. There's no scar. And he's much, much too young. He even sounds different.
[Isa... Saix. Isa and Saix. It doesn't take Xion long to figure out there's some connection, considering that trademark X in the names of all the Organization members. But she still doesn't understand how exactly that connection works, and she wants to find out.
But not now. He's not being hostile, so ... it can't hurt to talk to him. Cautiously, of course.]
My name is Xion. But ... why did you ask me that? If it's true that other people besides me have just been showing up... then none of us belong here, right?
[pause, long pause. This girl looks familiar. Roxas knows he should know her. She was there the night of the nightmares. But, he honestly can't remember. It takes him some time to come up with something to say.]
[In a way, Xion's actually glad Ven got to her first. That helps her reign in her reaction to Roxas, which is a study in neutrality. Cautious, unhappy neutrality, but close enough, right? Still, even if she masters most of the emotion in her expression, she isn't really able to school the sadness out of her voice.]
... do you know what this little creature is? [she tilts the pokégear so that it gets a clear shot of togepi.]
[wait. SHIT. shit. he looks totally different, and even if it was the same Riku, he wouldn't remember her anyway! she claps a hand over her mouth, then looks away, trying to hold back a deeply upset and frustrated noise and succeeding, at least for now.]
I'm not Kairi. [sorry if she sounds a little tense, Riku. but she can already tell this case of mistaken identity will get old, fast.]
... I didn't want to go inside anywhere, because ... I wanted to leave.
But if it's really impossible to leave here... I'm not sure where to go, though. None of these buildings look familiar, and I don't want to go back to that strange lady...
I've never even had... one of those. [she finishes that sentence rather lamely, since -- it only occurred to her a bit late that might sound strange.] All of this is really strange. And is that music? It's not just me hearing that, right?

It's a pokemon called Togepi.

[all of this is deeply confusing. and she's sort of not really looking at Roxas.]

Riku looks a bit put off by this, but after a few moments, he brushes his hair back and slowly responds...]
Alright. Then who are you?

[she says this so quietly it's almost a whisper. she'd give anything to just go home.]

Another, another. I wonder exactly how many that makes now.

[staring at this guy just as uncertainly as she's been staring at everyone else. what is he getting at?]
