Independent children being independent
Who: Xion, Shion (savedbyasong) and several others!
What: Monsun is gone which means eviction/moving time is now; Also Xion worries about her brother in several peoples' direction.
When: February 10th onward
Where: Islet 4 for the moving prompts, wherever your character is
Warnings: Some death/suicidal ideation mentions, references of the Sunocalpyse event and some Tower of Animus events. Will add as needed and watch subject lines! Also Ardyn being Ardyn.
A. Islet 4, Shack 4; OTA
[There's... a lot to be upset about. Angry, even. They could be angry about everything they did in the Tower feeling worthless; about being sent back to square one. They could be upset about being separated from those they loved. They could even be irritated about small things, like how they're having to move, with Monsun and Chol both disappearing.
And maybe they are feeling those things in private. But despite everything, Xion and Shion honestly seem excited at the idea of building a new house together. They've settled their meager possessions in pretty quickly. After that, it's working on trying to patch up the walls and roof, round up basic tools and supplies, things of that nature. There's plenty to do, but they're both happy to do it. Even if ah, they have much more in the way of enthusiasm than experience. And they're also more than happy to chat with any visitors. Especially if those visitors do have that experience!
If nothing else, Excalibur (Xion's carefree, cheerful multicolored catdog of a Dream Eater) is happy to bark greetings at passers-by.]
B. Islet 4, Shack 1; Closed to Shion and Ardyn (chronologically before A technically speaking but w/e)
[Asch's message on the rock - along with the Storyteller's dreams - gives them some warning. Xion knew that Monsun would be disappearing, and that Ardyn had warned her full well what might happen when he was... well, no longer at his best.
Still, that doesn't mean that the two of them are ready on the doorstep with their bags packed the island finally does vanish.]
C. All over; Closed to semi-close CR
[There are some times in the days that follow where Xion isn't found in the company of her adoptive brother. They weren't glued at the hip (as much as it might have seemed that way at first, with how clingy the two were on his arrival). And Xion herself felt a little awkward asking this particular question with him present.
She doesn't doubt that Shion is skilled. He's smart, so much more than he gives himself credit for. But she still worries, a lot. There were so many unknowns in the Tower, and there were unknowns here too. Something could happen to her, to all of them. She could disappear, or they could be separated, or... something. Anything.
With that in mind, she seeks out several people, those she knows fairly well and trusts. She has a request to ask of them, after all. They don't need to wrap Shion up in bubble wrap, just... keep an eye out, that's all. If things ever get bad again.]

C. Islet 1
Ignis' very focused as he works moving sticks, rocks and whatever else has managed to find itself into the area. Some of the things he comes across, he's fairly glad he can't see to be certain of their identities. No doubt the creatures that emerged during the darkness left behind their fair share of 'gifts.'
Focused as he is and unable to see Xion's arrival, she will be better served by calling out to him as opposed to waiting for him to pause long enough to notice her.]
no subject
Ignis? Is um... I wanted to ask something. Is now a bad time?
[ Since he definitely seemed very busy and she did not want to interrupt that right now. What she wanted to talk about was important, but not urgent, it could wait an hour or day or two. ]
no subject
[Ignis pauses in his work, first tilting his head toward the sound of her voice, then taking a moment to pull himself to his feet--it's a less graceful movement than it should be, but it's a million times better than he was not that long ago--turning full toward her and brushing the dirt from his pants as he does.]
I always have time for you, my dear. What's on your mind?
no subject
Well, um... There's something I wanted to ask... for your help with, if that's okay.
[Two things though, she realizes, remembering a promise she made around a month ago. But one of them promises to be a lot more complicated than the other, so she'll save that one for last.]
no subject
[Ignis gathers a carved walking stick from where it's resting near the edge of the garden and carefully makes his way toward her.]
I'd offer you a drink or a snack, but I'm afraid I'm a little dirty for cooking right now. Shall we sit?
[He gestures toward the doorstep of the cottage.]
no subject
[She hadn't come expecting refreshments or anything like that. She does take his offer to sit on one of the doorsteps though, scooting to one side to make sure she leaves him enough room.
Once he's seated she'll take a deep breath and... dive right in.]
My brother's here.
no subject
[Ignis bites back on the urge to congratulate her on the arrival. Family isn't as easy for her as it is for others, especially since she's been to more than one world already. Is it good her brother's here? Is it bad? He has no way to know for sure until she speaks more on it.]
