[ Why is this bothering her?
Xion has watched so many things disappear. All kinds of monsters, fading into the darkness beneath her swings. Capturing hearts, jumping from world to world, performing reconnaissance and fighting, always fighting... she'd thought there wasn't anything that could really shock her. Not after everything she and her best friends went through.
But this ... it's so much. Watching a real human being get shot in the head is so, so different from watching a Heartless fade away.
She could never ... have prepared herself for it. How real and violent it feels.
Xion is trying her absolute hardest to keep the horror of it all beneath her skin as she goes ... searching. Once Natalie has helped her calm down a little, there's someone she knows she should see, someone she made a point of running away from last night. And, like proof of her impulse and her shame, she's still in the same clothes she wore during the trial, and in fact, they're now dusty and dirty, like she's been out all night. (Which she was.)
But she has to do this first. She has to find Seizaburo.
It takes her some time to track down her friend, but the moment that she spots him, Xion will draw up short, clasping her hands over her chest. ]
... Seizaburo? I ... [ She ducks her chin. ] Could we talk?

Sei feels bad, of course. She stands by what she said, but she feels bad, because it's the exact same kind of sentiment that would have sent her into a tailspin if she'd heard one of her comrades say it in her early days with the Shinsengumi. She's only able to stomach it because of the sum of her experiences up to this point.
She really can't blame anyone who would reject it.
When Xion calls out to her, she pauses, but nods, looking a little unsure. She hopes this won't turn into a fight. Xion wanting to talk is a good thing, right...?]
Miss Xion...? Certainly. [A pause.] ...what did you want to talk about?
