Countdown

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Last minute preparations time, it seems... here we have Xeha at a kitchen table, with a checklist in front of him, a big mug of coffee, and a couple of books by his side. Kids' names, among other things. 'The Ultimate Guide for New Dads'. All the theory about parenting. All of it.

A few last details to be sorted before the big day. How long could it be? A week? Two? Still not sure how things are going to go... well, they're going to happen. Whether he's ready or not.

And maybe a Xehanort'll finally have created something good, he tries not to think.]

[Aqua's been resting a lot the last couple weeks, but right now she's heading into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She smiles a bit when she spots Xeha at the kitchen table, lightly laying a hand on his shoulder as she goes by.]

Hey.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a smile.] Hey. Up and about for a bit?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

{She nods and gets her glass of water before sliding into the seat across from him.]

Yeah.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

How've you been feeling lately? Everything alright?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Yeah I've been resting a lot.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Don't blame you. I think I would be too.

[Hey there Xeha. It's your younger self's teacher! And she's sneaking up behind you to read that checklist over your shoulder.]

...Huh.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Well, it's not the Aqua who was on his mind, but he gives her a look as she does so.]

Curious?

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah.

[Picks up the 'ultimate guide for new dads" with a smirk.]

Been busy, huh?

[That could also mean with the study he's obviously been doing...But most likely doesn't.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He gives a laugh.] Well, with one thing and another, I'd say so.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

So who's the Mother?

[She's your teacher she's allowed to be nosy. Also this is amusing her.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Ah, but she only became his teacher after this one travelled back to this era - would she have still been one then? Either way, he's pretty calm, with maybe just a quirk of a smile-]

Another Aqua.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't really care about time lines. Even if she never taught this Xeha, she taught the younger one. That's what matters to her.

But that surprises her. And it shows.]

Huh?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Honestly, it was - just something that happened. [Thanks, aphrodisiac spell.] A happy accident, really. But I'm doing what I can.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

..I see...

[..Puts the book back down again.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. ... I thought I'd said something wrong for a second, the way you reacted.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

Hm, no. It just surprised me.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Heh. Not expecting a Xehanort to play nice and be close enough to one of you? I'm not exactly the type to - I don't know what my counterparts'd do. Try and raise the kid as a weapon or something. I'm just trying to do things right for myself, her, and this new arrival.

[Coffee sounds like an excellent idea right now.]

How's it going?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Pretty well. Could maybe be sleeping better, but - well. That's not going to be happening in a hurry, I don't think.

Will need to sleep soon. Just a few more tags ^^

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[Breaths a laugh.]

Not quite what I was thinking...

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Hm? Alright, then what?

[youstillneedme.livejournal.com]

['Sup, just sort of being a creeper poking his head in as he usually does.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Heh. He gives a wave as he spots the familiar face there.]

[youstillneedme.livejournal.com]

[There's a wave back as he makes his way on in properly.]

Last minute studying?
