With the hotel still having renovations and all the Mist gone, Namine was finding it hard to find things to help her occupied. Normally she would be fine with any form of drawing supplies, but she wasn't about to try and sneak back into the hotel just to get it and risk getting caught by Xigbar or the working Moogles.

Plus, Namine didn't ever make it to the cafe before the Mist came in, and it was close to the hotel. From what she had heard before, there wasn't any Mist around this area when it rolled into town.

And it was an interesting surprise to see Xion and Roxas working here. "Purple really is your colour," she smiled lightly while still standing in front of the door. 'I just sit wherever?"

"Maybe." It wasn't as high as the clock tower, or most other buildings, but it could do in a pinch. Roxas and Xion could probably get up there easily, or they could all open and use a portal together, since Namine was less physically stronger than them. "Maybe ask... Xigbar, just in case?"

"Oh... That's a good idea, huh. I'll ask next chance I get." Xion nods.

She pauses, and... well, she can't help herself. "Eat up, or it's gonna melt!"

That causes her to giggle a bit, "Right."

After a while of nibbling on the bar, trying to catch any drippings from falling on the table, Namine pondered while looking at Xion. "So... are you... enjoying it here?" She was aware of the weight of the question, given that she knew some problems that Xion had, but couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I..." Xion has to stop and think about this. "I've made some friends." That's something to be happy about. "And... At least I'm here." She nods.

The nightmares, Saïx... ugh. Sometimes, they made her feel like... maybe it'd be better if she's not here. But now, when she tells Naminé about her friends in this bright, sunny place... She feels a little foolish for feeling like that.

Namine closed her eyes for a moment and gave a tiny nod. "That's good. It's good to be somewhere," and she added a smile along with it, trying to keep the conversation light again while she played with her finished ice cream stick, "and be with friends."

"What about you, Naminé?" Xion sets her stick down on the wrapper. "How have you been liking it here?"

Namine takes her own time answering, twirling the cardboard stick in between her fingers, wondering if she should just be honest or hide away behind a smile.

"It's," looks like honesty's winning this battle, "...it's different from what... I'm used to." She's keep her eyes locked on the table, not really feeling up to looking directly at Xion, "And it's strange. But I..."

Shaking her head, she decided to go a different route. "I think I'll enjoy it here. but it might just take some getting used to is all."

"Yeah, it's kind of weird, not having missions to do all the time. There's still work, but... It's like having a vacation, all the time."

Xion pauses, though. Being someone who employs avoidance tactics herself, she's able to recognize the signs almost immediately. She's struck by the realization that she doesn't know anything about Naminé at all. She wonders... what she's had to go through to get to this point. What's your story?

"Vacation... that could be one way of looking at it. Seems like it's just a different kind of work really."

Namine looked up when she got the feeling that something wasn't right. And that probably meant it was something she said. Looking a bit worried for Xion, she asked, "Are you alright?"

"It is, I guess. This stuff at the café is, anyway, but... It's not the same."

"Huh?" Xion blinks, genuinely confused. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"It's probably more fun than doing mission though right?" Namine gave a thoughtful smile.

There was a pause before she asked, "Are you sure?"

"I guess so," Xion giggles. "It's not really the same, so it's hard to compare."

She blinks again. What is this...? "Yeah." Maybe she made a face earlier when...? "Sorry if I worried you. I was just thinking."

"Oh, n-no you didn't." Namine shook her head, a little embarrassed that she might have pushed Xion. "Sorry."

She took a look around the cafe, noting all of the customers that trickled in, a lot that Namine didn't recognize. "I-I better let you get back to your work. But," she paused, and turned back to Xion, a blush and smile on her face, "thank you Xion, for sitting with me."

"It's okay," Xion says, still a little confused.

She smiles. "It's no problem. Hey, when we figure out when we're going to have that party, we'll let you know."

"Sure," Namine nodded back to Xion before siding out of the booth and heading towards the door. "I guess I'll see you around then."
