Hey, are you free today?

[ after a certain devastatingly awful conversation, Xion's had a lot to think about in the days following. She's been offered so much different advice by so many people that by now, frankly, she just feels confused and tired. What she could really use is a break -- just

[Ok, there's a teenage girl trying to use a bow with an arm splint. That's just... special, special enough to attract his attention anyway.]

Hey, hun? Ya really shouldn't be usin' a bow while yer like that.

[ DKJGHSLDKJA

that voice...! Xion whirls around, startled and blinking, actually dropping the arrow she'd been about to nock. She'd know that voice anywhere... ]

Raven? Is that really you?

[Action]

[crisis_rain]

[Well, better she drop the arrow than fire it at him out of shock. Either way, the fact she was startled ended up startling Raven in return. Another person who recognized him, he's gonna really need a list.]

Wait, wait! Before ya start! I don't have any memories of bein' here! I got here over a week ago!

Now that's outta the way. Seriously kid, ya shouldn't usin' a bow with yer arm in a splint, yer gonna break a tendon or somethin'.

... oh. [ she does a good job of hiding her disappointment, and smiles a little. ] I'm sorry. I should have asked.

Um... [ she looks down at her arm, then up at him ] I think it's already mostly healed... I should be okay. I've already been resting it for a few weeks.

[ Xion's not very good at noticing her surroundings today. She doesn't seem to notice him come in -- and doesn't pick up on his presence until she's done with her quiver of arrows. It's only then that she pauses, and looks around. She still blinks in surprise when she spots Naoki, though. ]

Naoki? How long have you been there?

[Action]

[poppetry]

[ she shakes her head and just smiles at him. ] No, it's okay. [ she's glad to see him -- and he's smiling! last she saw or heard, Richard was still gone. ] How are you?

[personafalsify]

[ Sup Xion. Guess who's watching you. Quietly, because he has no other choice really. ]

[poppetry]

[ it might take her a few moments to notice you, Repliku. until she empties her quiver, that is. once she does, she takes a breath, lowering her bow and turning to go take a look at her journal--

and jumping slightly when she spots the Heartless. she registers an instant later that it's Replica!Heartless, though, and she smiles, going over to kneel in front of him. ]

Hey.

[personafalsify]

[ He nods a greeting, then deliberately looks from the splint on her arm to the bow.

You know you won't be able to tell if you mess yourself up worse right :| ]

1/2

[poppetry]

[ ... is he ... ]

[xelhes]

[ Is there a door on the side of the barracks where you set up the targets, Xion? Because, if there is, it's opening. Hope you make a good shot, even if the door's probably not in your line of fire. ...Probably. ]

[poppetry]

[ Xion lets the arrow she had nocked fly with a shout of surprise.

Thankfully, it buries itself in the target, and not Fenimore, but on the far outside and nowhere near the center. Xion places a hand over her heart, alarmed and blinking. she can't tell who it is just yet, but she calls out anyway ]

Hey, be careful!

[xelhes]

[ She looks up at the shout of surprise just in time to notice the arrow being shot...well, not exactly in her direction, since it hits the target instead, but close enough to her direction to nearly give her her own heart attack. The arrow lands in the target before she can do anything more than freeze, hand still on the doorknob.

The voice might be familiar, but at the moment it's a miracle that even the words register, let alone who the voice belongs to. She reacts on the instinct to be irritable. ]

Be careful? How am I supposed to be careful opening a door?

ffffffff i am so sorry for slow

[poppetry]

I don't-- I'm sorry! But you really should move away from there... I didn't think anyone would come through that way!

[ Xion is moving forward now, trying to see who it is, since that voice is so very familiar. ]
