[There's a place that looks awfully like Castle Oblivion, here. And a rather confused looking white-haired boy stepping into it, out of a room full of the sounds of wild falling waters. He turns, looking back the way he came, yelling back-]

Grandfather? Terra? Can you see this? I-

[Peek in. Peek out. Rub his head. Something's wrong - something's very wrong. But he'd just stepped from home, with his grandfather-namesake and his older brother and all his family, to out here, and that isn't something that's supposed to happen. You don't just - step out of the world. Not out of somewhere you're meant to fit in.

Still, curiosity's built into Xehanort almost by definition. Muttering directions under his breath to make sure things are okay, he heads onwards, through the shining white corridors... because he's going to get to the bottom of this.

The fact that he never had a grandfather or a brother in that sense isn't occurring to him right now.
Nor is the fact that the room's changing behind him.]

Right, lead the way.

[she'll mark the walls as they go along, looking back occasionally to make sure they're still there.]

[With a smile, he does so, still looking around for any sign of anything unusual. Well, any more so than before. And eventually-]

I think this is it...

It is?

[it's hard for her to tell. she looks around curiously, as though the other Xeha will just poke his head out from somewhere.]

[Big dark room that feels like it's in the right place, at least. He goes further in.]

Hello? Are you in here anywhere?

Xeha?

[it's obvious she's calling for the one that's missing as she follows him cautiously.]

It's okay, we're here to help...

[... Frowning.]

If this was just a one-way door... because this is the spot. I'm sure. This led back home.

Well, the doors don't always stay... something about this place is weirding me out. More than usual, I mean.

[He stops, turns.]

How so?

I dunno, just this whole... situation I guess.

Mmm. I think I see why.

[Generally looking around-]

If this was the way home before... maybe there's a way to make it the way home again.

Maybe, but the DR generally isn't that... well, kind about ways home, remember?

It doesn't mean I can't at least consider the options.

Yeah, that's true... I think we should be careful though.

Don't worry. I plan on it. But I plan on trying, at least. Communications spells, vision spells, [he laughs] even time spells... Something's got to be worth trying.

I know a lot more spells now than when I first came here, but I can't say I'm too familiar with any of those.

I'm not familiar with them, as such. They're just things I've heard about. Probably in [the library] Grandfather's books. But I'm just thinking about options...

We could hit the library and come back later with some?

[He nods.] That sounds good.

Okay, let's head back. I bet you'll like the library, in any case.

[A smile-] I'm sure. The sort of library something like this has...

There's got to be millions of books there by now, from all sorts of different worlds.

[shall she lead the way?]

...Wow.

[She shall! Although he might seem to be taking the odd turn on his own, not so clearly following her even if he's going the right way...]

[she'll just grin at his response. as long as he's not going and wandering off on his own, she's got no problem with not leading the way. still, the fact that he seems to subconsciously know...]

[Hey, what else is he going to say to that?]

... How far is it, anyway?

Not too far! It's pretty close to the main area.
