[ It is a dizzy, sick, and weak Xion that finally manages to make her way back into town after having been dropped off at the outskirts by her generous mallynappers. She'd so rather much not be out in the open right now, but she needs help and she knows it. The farthest she can make it is the fountain in the center of the village. That's where she

[Roxas has been patrolling the village for the last few days...weeks...he doesn't even know anymore, he just knows he's been waiting for Xion to come back, especially with Axel and his stunt with Kairi and Sora. As soon as he spots her though, he's going to run over to her because this is unexpected. Crouching down in front of her, he's just trying to evaluate the whole situation]

...Xion? You in there? [Well, Roxas, she's not a monster who's going to eat your face, so.]

[Action placeholder thing indeed]

[poppetry]

[ Roxas is going to get roughly the same reaction Sora got. that is, freaking out. it's especially bad for Roxas, because he's the one who saw her, that time, when she had that face...

not that he remembers. but still, she reacts pretty poorly, trying to scramble away from him. ]

[WHOA. He'll back up but he's looking at her.] Hey! It's okay, it's just me!

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[poppetry]

[ GET AWAAAAAAAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEE. er, that is, she says nothing, just ... staying away, a hand up to keep her hood in place so her hair and eyes remain hidden. her body language makes it pretty clear she's about to bolt, though, or try. ]

[Misaka is just staring down at Xion. Lovely.]

[poppetry]

[ uh. tilts her head up at her, but the hood still manages to cover her eyes and hair. shifts back a little, almost trying to curl up tinier, defensive and cautious. ]

Spending large periods of time on the ground is a proven way to contract a disease, states MISAKA.

[poppetry]

[ youuuuuuuu talk funny. just. stares. as much as she can from beneath that cowl, anyway. ]

... I ... I think I'm already sick.

[salvationfound]

[As Kratos is walking about, doing his own sort of patrol for his missing charge, he sees this lump of black against the fountain. He'd usually walk on and ignore her, figuring she was just down on her luck, but something about her mana signature makes him stop. He won't say a word, though. Only study her.]

[poppetry]

[ ... hey, she remembers him. kind of starts when she sees him looking at her, lifting her head. if he's perceptive, and he's ever run into Sora, something about her will feel very, very similar to him, right now. too much so to be normal or right, but it's fading.

his staring makes her feel kind of strange, though. she shifts a little, sort of wanting to call out, but isn't very good at making the words come. ]

[salvationfound]

[He's never spoken to Sora, but he's likely passed him by a couple of times. And since Kratos takes a note of most mana signatures, something does feel vaguely familiar. And odd. Because it definitely isn't Sora - that isn't the body of a male, after all.

Of course, he knows that his staring can be a bit unnerving. Curiosity and concern wins out, and he breaks his gaze as he starts to walk over to her.]

... Are you all right?

[poppetry]

[ If it were worse, she'd have a male's face, at least. She's lucky the Malnosso's experiment has mostly worn off by now.

looking up at him makes her hood fall back a little, so it slips back enough to reveal her face and some of her hair. she's very pale and on the thin side, but otherwise seems alright. gives her head a small, slow shake. ]

... the Malnosso ... I only just got back.
