[A quick look, that was it. He didn't promise to go too far into the desert, just enough to get a real idea. Because really, in this weather? It was a pretty mad thought to be honest. He had brought out his ten foot tall Serperior, his reliable Pokemon partner at his side, to take this journey along side him rather than tucked away. Times like this he liked for her to enjoy the sights and traveling with him. Though when they came to a stop, he slid off his cap to give his face a quick fan, sweating as he squinted from under the sun.]

Probably will be a good idea to head back, don't you think? [He gives a small smile to the Serperior, her meeting his gaze and giving a nod to soon nudge him at his side. He laughs easily, patting at her neck.] I'm fine, don't worry. Things would be easy to have Herdier on me right now, he did well in the sand. [Whew, the heat was sorta unbearable after a while huh? Taking one last glance, he spotted the black figure.] ..What.. is that?

[Was that a person? In a coat? In this heat? To think there had

...Totally didn't just mistake the pokémon for a Heartless, what are you even talking about. 8D;

[pensitivity]

[ She hadn't really anticipated meeting anyone in the desert. Most people who were in their right mind wouldn't have ventured out as she had. She realized that much after her missions in Agrabah and hearing the people talk. The desert was a dangerous place. But her options elsewhere had been quickly exhausted.

It took her a moment to register the voice that called out to her, so caught up was she in her focus. But when it finally did click that someone had called out to her, she spun around. Attention gained, sir. Unfortunately though, judging by the way her hand instinctively clutched the air at her side, the way the oversized key came springing into existence, it seemed like it was the wrong kind. His words ignored for the moment, she made a direct beeline for the Serperior without a hitch. ] Behind you!

OH NO...

[yinblack]

Behind me-? [WOAH GURL, WHAT'S WITH THAT.. OVER-SIZED KEY? A quick glance behind, the Serperior curling her large body closer with a lift of her head as she watched closely - ready on command to dodge once the figure was close enough. However, Touya wasn't going to let that happen, he was already jumping in front of his partner with arms held apart to try and stop the person from attacking.]

No, don't! It's okay! She belongs with me!

OH YEAH. /O-Oh mai. Feeling silly tonight.

[pensitivity]

[ Hey. Hey. That key is the best thing ever. It can lock worlds and you can save puppies and it can- It can open chests to find treasure and you can beat up fluffy looking things that eat hearts and- And this is completely irrelevant.

Regardless. It was probably a good thing he stood in front of his partner because she was pretty dead set on eliminating that oversized Heartless. Wait, did he just say...?

Xion paused in her tracks a few feet off from the trainer, keyblade still at the ready. Scowling underneath her hood. ] Belongs with you..? But that's a Heartless! [ A new kind? ...Wait a minute. ]

[monkeyflirt]

[Why was he in the desert? Just wandering around - it was something he hadn't been able to look at much, after all.

It didn't take him long to come across Xion, and he frowns, seeing her wandering around.]

Hey...it might help if you take off that coat. [It did look heavy, after all.]

You're going to die of thirst if you're not careful.

[pensitivity]

[ Apparently, deserts were the hot spot for cool kids, too. ...Pun totally not intended, yes.

Either or. Xion had been in the process of mulling around what to do next since the desert was seeming to be more and more of a futile effort- a bigger part of her still persisting the idea -when Zidane had come across her. She froze upon realizing just how close she had let someone get to her before taking a step back, hand gripped at her side. Tense. And then his words hit her and she took another step back in turn, shaking her head. What did it matter to this guy anyway? ]

I'll be fine. [ Stubborn much. ]

[monkeyflirt]

Are you sure?

[He leans over a little bit, tilting his head and trying to see through her hood.] You look kinda worn out to me.

[It's in his nature to care, after all.]

[pensitivity]

[ That quickly got her on guard, bowing her head to avoid that curious gaze as her hand clutched tighter. ] I've been through worse.

[ Her tone came off impatient bordering disheveled. The close approximation, the way he seemed so inclined to get close up and in her personal space. It was making her spaz on the inside while she retained herself outwardly as best as she could. ]

Why does it matter to you anyway?

[clumsychosen]

[ W E L P. What better way to get to know a place better than to look at every single place in this new strange land-- like a mini adventure! So it wouldn't be uncommon that Colette found her way into the desert for some investigating of her own.

So hum. A light colored desert, and a random black figure in the middle of it all-- instantly a new person to talk to! So with a small jump in her step, Colette advances forward. Hand waving. ]

Oh, hello there!

SORRY THIS IS SO DURP.

[pensitivity]

[ Of course. Why not. Deserts were totally the way to go, too. The sand. ...Not so much the surf. But the sand. Lots of sand. ...Still could use more surf.

Still, it wasn't so bad once you got past the nine million degrees- and-what-the-heck-she's-not-alone.

In all seriousness though. There was a girl. Waving to her all friendly like. In the middle of all this sandy desertyness. Looking way too excited in this kind of weather.

. . . . .|

Cue... one awkward stare. ]

DURP IS COLETTE'S MIDDLE NAME.

[clumsychosen]

[ Oh, don't worry. Colette has pretty much been through every awkward stare someone could possibly give to another person. So it's easy to say that she is not nearly as fazed as other people could be to the silent response.

Instead, the girl will continue to run up to greet Xion-- if the sand didn't get caught within her run.

Stumble stumble stumble-- oops she's getting pretty close to you, isn't she?

You might want to move, or else this little blond is going to collapse right on top of you! ]

Uwah--!

OMG NO DYING IN THE FIRST MEETING THREAD, KID.

[pensitivity]

[ ...Why was this girl still coming her way? Didn't she see that Xion was looking a little on the uncomfortable side? By that, it really was a lot and yet this girl didn't seem to know the concept of personal space and body language that spoke all volumes of WTF.

....Cue a hitch of breath and a quick side step out of the way. Not to be mean, Colette. More like inner spaz mixed with an instinctual reaction. She'll be feeling like a jerkface momentarily.]

[Roxas had been exploring as usual. Being here in Somarium for over a year, you get used to the places but still he made it a habit to "patrol" certains areas. One of those happening to be the desert, as he made his way further in.

After scouting for anything strange, he was about to open a corridor to go back to the church but then something caught his eye. A black trench coat. Immediately he started heading towards it, cautiously, but the closer he got the more it looked like his own. Someone from the Organization? But, he didn't remember anyone being about his own height unless--... Only one way to find out. With that thought, he approached the back of the person]

... Hey.

[A bit hesitant, he didn't want to get his hopes up just yet that Xion was back]

Sorry it took me a while to brain something. This canon point is super new to me. |D;

[pensitivity]

[ She hadn't exactly been expecting anyone to follow her. Going out into the desert this far was kinda for the crazies anyway. Well, more or less, she had overheard stories here and there during Agrabah missions. Which might have explained how in the worlds he had gotten so close with her noticing.

But then she heard a voice.

And not just any voice but she- Was she-

Instantly, she spun around. And from there, she just... stared for a moment at him from under her hood. Petrified. Was she seeing things? Because there was Roxas and there was Roxas and what was she supposed to- She was supposed to go back and- and she had never planned on meeting him again and- -Never mind that he wasn't wearing the Organization coat. That detail would click maybe a bit later.

For now? All those other thoughts raced through her head and all Roxas would be met with was silence as she just tried to process this. ]

No worries <3

[13thkey]

[That reaction, was not what he expected. Still, it looked as if he might be right about who this was.]

... Xion, right?

/o/~!

[pensitivity]

[ It took his words for her to straight out back to dealing with the predicament rather than tangling herself up in panicky thoughts. His words finally hitting her, her first move was to take a step back from him. Followed by another. And another. Slow at first but it seemed that they were gradually increasing in speed.

It didn't matter how heavy each one felt. This... This was for the better. S-She had to... She couldn't stray from what she had to do. ]
