[In a Dressing Room, there is another room - a comfy lounge.
In this room, there is a mirror.
In front of this mirror, there's a Xehanort.]

[He's playing with his hair of all things. Not out of vanity - out of curiosity. It's out of his ponytail, hanging loose around his shoulders - he's running his hands through it, fluffing it up, messing it up.]

[Terra's style, more or less. As close as he can get. Spikes pushed out of shape, bangs fluffed out.

He sighs. Mutters.]

...I can see it. I can really see it. Is it true? Am I him - am I just his shadow? How...?

[Aqua stands at the door to the room, hands clasped behind her back. Depending on the angle of the mirror, Xehanort could probably see her in the reflection.]

Are....are you okay?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He can just catch sight of her. An Aqua? Damn - can he even mention what's going through his head to her? What his existence means for her friend?

He looks back-]

Yeah. I've ... just got things on my mind.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Aqua nods slowly, not sure she wants to know.]

Well..if you want to talk about it.....if not, that's okay too.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

I...

[He pauses.]

Can I ask you something...? You know Terra, don't you? What's he like?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Yes I do.



Well...he's stubborn as heck, brave....



He'd do anything for his friends.



Why do you ask?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He smiles sadly. Looks into her eyes.]

Because I want to know what sort of person I was once.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Blink.]

Oh...

[That's pretty much all she can say right now.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs, almost dropping his head into his shoulders.]

... Sorry. I probably shouldn't have said it like that.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[She runs a hand through her hair. He was so much younger than Terra, so how....? Congratulations Xehanort, you broke her for a minute, hehe.]

Oh nonono it's okay, just...you know a bit to wrap my mind around.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Xehanort?

[What is he even...?]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Ah, yes, that's his name... he turns around, smiles. Not trying to give away just what's up, but his body language maybe isn't agreeing with his tone.]

Oh! Hi...

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Hey, is something wrong?

[Hm. He'll step closer, looking a teensy bit worried.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Y- n- ... I don't know. [He lets out a sigh.] Something's different, anyway.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Different? What d'you mean?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Swallow. Sigh. Run hand through hair.]

... I've found out some things. It's complicated. About me... about who I used to be.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

... Oh. Does it have to do with what I said?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Kind of. I know what happened. Who I am ... what happened to your Terra, too. I think.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

Does it matter if you are?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Huh? He looks over, gives a sigh.]

I don't know. I mean, I'm still - me. That won't change. It's just odd.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[A nod. He knows the feeling, sort of.]

I thought that was what this place was good at?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

'This place is good at being odd', you mean? [He laughs.] Maybe.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[He nods again.]

Yeah.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Anyway... I suppose I've just got to work this out. Even if it doesn't matter as such... I want to know everything it means. Whatever they might be.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

You'll find out eventually.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[That earns a shrug.] Guess so...
