"Just find your own way."

Lightning brushed past him as she continued her way down the hall, doing a good job of ignoring the elaborate decorations and scenes in favor of actually navigating this place. From what she could tell, the cells weren't that far from here, maybe behind the structure? In any case, Serah wasn't going to find her own way out of this place, not without some help on her part at least.

"This place cant' be that hard to manage."

She stops her walking to look over her shoulder, eying Roxas with a curious look and a raised brow before continuing again, turning the corner as she tried to visualize where the cells would be.

Roxas stares up at the woman as she walks past him, frowning.

"I thought this was somewhere I knew."

But she's all ready moving on past him. His frown deepens. Did she even hear him? What's the point of talking to someone if you're just going to walk off like that?

That was his cue to follow. She sighs, ready to ignore him and carry on her way until she hears his voice echoing back. "I though this was somewhere I knew."...

She pauses, midstep before turning back, brow raised all the while as she tries to piece together what he meant by that. Was it possible that he was here once before?

"What do you mean you thought you knew? You recognize this place?"

Well, it's not his fault he didn't know that. If she wanted him to follow her, she should've said so!

"There's a Beast's Castle where I come from. But this doesn't look anything like it."

After sitting around in that cell listening to people talk and watching the messages on that network thing, Roxas knows now that there are people from all kinds of worlds here. The first step in a mission is to not get spotted, but that's unavoidable here. So the best way to blend in and not seem suspicious is to act like everyone else, right? That's what Roxas figures, anyway.

Clearly, they happen so Roxas can find her.

Roxas hears the familiar shriek and spins, eyes widening. "Xion?!" He takes off down the hallway as fast as he can, his mind running through different scenarios. There's a giant Heartless, there're two giant Heartless, there're eight giant Heartless --

Or there's a fire.

A fire?! "Xi-Xion!"

But by the time Roxas makes it down the hallway to her, she all ready has it out and has collapsed on the floor. Roxas slows to a stop, hands going to his knees as he pants to catch his breath.

"Are... Are you... okay?"

"Wh-Whoa!" Roxas barely manages to stay on his feet, but he does, even if he stumbles back a couple of steps. G-Geez, what's with her? It hasn't been that long since they saw each other. Right...? "Of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?"

Roxas blinks and frowns at her winces. "Are you sure? Let me see." He pulls back to look at her, blinking again and frowning more when he sees the state of her hands and arms. But it's okay, he's got this. "Here, let me. Cure."
