[Recent events have left a lot of flotsam cluttering the Destiny Islands beach over here, and the wind's blowing the waves into spray.

And sitting on a barrel over here, we have Xeha, gazing thoughtfully out over the waters. What's happened lately has been playing pretty heavily on his mind... These things come and go. But it's all shaken his confidence a little.

So, for the moment, the kid's taking it easy.]

Well, it's definitely part of what makes you you! I don't think you'd be the same person if you didn't like trying to find things out.

[He looks a bit awkward.] Guess part of it might be that I always wanted to - find out who I was, too? But yeah. I can't imagine not wanting it.

Find out who you were?

[headtilt. yeah, she knows he looks like the jerks who tried to destroy this place, and even shares a name, but...]

Eh. It's ... kinda complicated. I don't remember things before I was about ten years old?

[Where 'about' is hiding a lot.]

So I used to wonder who my real parents were, where I came from, all that. Things about my past. That kind of 'who I was'.

Oh... d'you still want to know?

[y'know, considering... everything.]

[He shrugs.]

I found out most of it a while back here. There's still things I'd really like to find out, but I think I have a better idea where to look.

I'm glad you found out, since you wanted to.

Yeah. Me too. It's something that's off my mind, at least.

[Even if it did set up a whole load of new worries in its own way.]

At least!

[she smiles and looks out at the shore, apparently content that the conversation changed.]

Huh. ... What was it like when you were growing up?

[All curious, now the subject's gone that way.]

Well... It was nice! It was a tropical island, so it was warm pretty much all year. We didn't really get snow or anything, but we still had Christmas and stuff. I had lots of friends, and we spent most of our time playing on the island that was just off the coast, when we didn't have school.

[He smiles.] That does sound nice. [Especially the friends bit, he thinks.]

It was!

[her smile dies a little, leaving her looking just sort of nostalgic, and maybe a little older than she really should.]

I miss it a lot.

Mmm. [He nods a little sadly.] I miss my home too sometimes.

And... sometimes I remember what was going on when I left, and I feel really guilty. People say time stops when you're in here, but...

[heck, what kind of state would her world even be in if it hadn't stopped?]

But you're never quite sure. [He nods again.] ... Sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.

It's okay, it's not your fault. I didn't mind the question!

[she offers him her best smile, given her mood. it's real, even if it's not quite as bright as some of her smiles can be.]

[He smiles back.] Oh - okay. I just didn't want to bring up bad feelings about it all.

Like I said, it's okay. Sometimes you can't really help when that happens, you know?

Ah, yeah. I guess so. Heh...

[she goes quiet again, though she seems pretty content. she just doesn't know what to say now, but she enjoys the company, and the atmosphere.]

[He can't really say he minds the current situation, either.]

[she doesn't get to just chill with people often enough, really.]

[Same deal here. Chilling opportunities are rare enough - why waste them? He glances over at her, and up into the sky.

... Huh. Eyes. Should he bring that up, he wonders? After they'd just decided dark wasn't necessarily a thing to worry over?]

[he could! she might not answer, but he definitely could bring it up!]
