[ Well.

.... well.

Xion's got a lot on her mind when she seeks out Percy. She's made a decision - and given what she knows, or she thinks she knows, she wants Percy to know it, too. Besides, maybe he can ... help her, too. Maybe he knows things she doesn't.

So it's with a sense of purpose that she finds him, and doesn't really waste any time on preamble. ]

Hey, Percy? Can we talk?

I will.

[ Not I'll try, one of her most common refrains. ]

I can at least do that much. [ A somewhat self-deprecating mutter. ] Percy... you need to take care of yourself too, okay? I know you feel like you need to do as much as you can, too. But you're just one person, the same as me. Don't forget you have us.

{ she doesn't specify the "us," but thinks he'll probably figure out who she means. ]

[He laughs under his breath.] I don't think you guys would ever let me forget that I have you. I know I'm just one person but...I'll try, all right? We'll work together to keep each other from being too reckless.

[A pause.] And...I'll fill you in on things when I can. Is that a good compromise?
