Day 2 [video from Sevii Islands]

[Xion sure seems happy when she opens up the feed today--one would think the subject would be the mess of shells she has around her now, but actually it's the photo she's holding up to the camera.]

Hey! Do you see this girl? [She indicates the blonde in the sun hat who, strangely, looks identical to Xion outside of hair color and Xion currently sporting a healthy tan.] This is my sister, Namine! Our birthday is on the 21st, so make sure she gets lots of nice messages and presents, okay? She deserves it!

[Well isn't that just sickeningly precious.]

And if you don't know her, you should. She's the best sister ever and she's really nice and she's a great artist!

Ah -- I didn't realize you were all related. [It was easy enough to assume they were, of course -- there was a striking similarity in the eyes. She didn't know anything about Roxas, other than what the girls had passed on, but it wasn't as if she suspected either of them of lying to her.]

Do you think she would appreciate a coloring book of Pokemon? One of the adult ones, I mean. I've... noticed that they're a rather popular commodity, but I also don't want to send her something that she might think of as demeaning.

[Oddly, she makes a gesture with her hand like...half and half.]

It's complicated. [She doesn't seem bothered by mentioning it's complicated, yet she won't elaborate further.] Aw, no, I think Namine would like that a lot! Just because she draws doesn't mean she shouldn't get to relax and color things sometimes, too!

["It's complicated" is a good enough answer, in Angel's eyes. It's an accurate summary of her own family life, and as forthcoming as she'd been with most details, bringing up other parts was... far less desirable.]

[Besides, Angel couldn't judge when it came to odd found-family dynamics. She would have willingly called Krieg her brother, and she had a feeling a great many people would be taken aback by that.]

That's a good point. Okay, I'll be sure to get her a couple of those then! Do you think she might need more sketchbooks? Does she like paint or pencils? Pastels maybe?
