Xion had been in the store room doing a stock-take and putting away the newest coffee delivery. When the last beans were stacked neatly on the shelf, and the numbers double checked and put into the ledger, Xion quickly dismantled the boxes the beans and had come in and tucked them under her arm. Her shift was over, the day was winding down a bit, and the last batch of muffins she had baked had needed a little longer than she'd realised so she was running a little behind schedule. Finally she was done, her coat was on, the ledger was locked away and She was ready to head home. She picked up the broken down boxes to take out the recycling and headed out the back door.

The sight that greeted her was unexpected; for one she had said goodbye to Kairi a while ago and thought she was already long gone, and for two...

Kairi seemed to be wielding a Keyblade.

Xion hadn't ever seen the older girl with a Keyblade, and now that she thought about it she hadn't even realised that she could use one. It seemed like Kairi was running drills or

The sudden voice cause the Princess of Heart to fumble with the flowery Keyblade, and she did drop it. To her pleasant surprise though, just before it hit the ground, it appeared back in her hand in a flurry of petals and light. Kairi sighed in relief, free hand over her heart, before it raised to wave at her co worker in greeting.

"Hey! You surprised me there." And with another sigh, Kairi relaxed her shoulders. "Sorry, I guess I didn't realize I was still at it."

Right, the place would have been locked up by now, and she should be heading home herself. She'll have to find somewhere else to train.

"No it's alright, you just surprised me, that's all."

She put the stack of flattened cardboard into the recycling bin and looked at the Keyblade in Kairi's hand. She'd never seen it before, and gave it an appraising look. It was pretty, really pretty. The colours and the flowers wrapped around it seemed fitting, almost familiar, like sunset and something else she wasn't sure of, something she didn't remember but she knew to be familiar.

The islands.

It was funny, she thought, how even now after she had ceased to exist in their own world and she knew Sora now, had all these memories of her own that she had made and cherished, she could still remember the things she had seen from Sora's memories.
"I didn't know you could use a Keyblade," she said softly. "Are you training?"

Kairi weighted the Keyblade in her hand. It wasn't heavy, like she expected. In fact, it was light to her touch. She always thought weapons, being made out of metal, would be heavy. She couldn't even lug around the wooden swords at the islands as effortlessly as Sora and Riku did. But this felt like it was made for her. She saw Xion eying it as well, and scratched her cheek with a free hand sheepishly.

"To be honest, I just got it back home before I came here. No one seems to know where it came from, but... it hasn't left me and I was able to use it." Kairi still doesn't now how Keyblade wielders are made, or chosen for that matter. At the question, she gives out a nervous laugh.

"I was thinking about it. I never fought before, and I wanted to ask Sora and Riku if they can help me, but they've been really busy lately. Especially Riku. So I thought I'd try to get by myself for a while."
