[ Well. She might as well try to find him.

Xion has been curious about Ash from the very first time she heard he wasn't human. But given his ... abrasive disposition, and what with everyone pinning him as one of the likeliest to kill everyone here, she just kind of kept her distance.

But .... he helped her during that trial. Twice, no less. He wasn't nice about it, but the fact remains that he still did so. And it's that curiosity, plus a desire to get to know one of the other non-humans in this place, that sends her searching.

At least he's easy to find, which makes her life easier (and the pain in her foot at little less). Seeing him in the hotel lounge gets her to slow, which ... you know, she wasn't going very fast in the first place given her need to hobble everywhere. But ... well, she's not too sure about this, but she'll try a smile when she sees him. ]

Ash?

... you know, until I got here, the only human I ever knew was Riku.

[ And he's dead so it's not like telling Ash is some big secret. ]

Being in this town was the first time I was ever around so many humans. It was really jarring. But ... in the end, nothing about it was like what I expected. I thought they'd be ... really different.

[ not around humans? huh. he wonders if she was created by a machine, like himself... or perhaps by other clones. He'll ask later. ]

But they don't know who you really are. Do they? [ a slight shake of his head. ] They think that you're like them... But you're not.

[ Her shoulders twitch, and she tucks a lock of hair back behind her ear in a nervous motion. ]

Everyone's been so accepting of me. Even the people who've found out what I am. But it still ... scares me. I feel like no one really ... gets it.
