Mission 6

Characters: Xion and Hughes
Content: Xion takes Hughes up on his offer to have a chat about issues her shadow brought up.
Time: Late morning, the day after she fought her shadow.
Warnings: None.
Notes:...Possibly spoiler for 358/2?

Xion raised her hand to knock on Hughes’s door, then lowered it.

He’d said he was there if she wanted to talk, and she’d said she’d come by, but now that it came time to do so, she was a little nervous. She didn’t want to bother him with her problem after all...

You’re supposed to talk about your problems with your friends.

Hughes was a friend, and he had offered.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

He nodded, "First Aid is more experience too I think, so I can show you some of the things I already know. But I have to say, I'm not really trained in it so I'm not sure how far I can take that." Still, if nothing else they could learn together. Maes wouldn't mind that and it would alleviate some of the boredom when things got dull around here (which surprisingly happened occasionally).

"Yeah, that's probably the best way to describe it."

"Practice and study a lot," he added. He was a little surprised by the girl's interest in the matter. He himself was only studying up on it because he didn't want to see people up here get hurt and then suffer because they didn't have a medical staff. He wouldn't have worried about it so much until this Shade business.

He sighed, "No. Emotional scars are something entirely different. They take way longer and can reopen with a moments notice." He leaned forward, giving Xion a sympathetic look, "Did you want to talk about what your's said?"

He thought about his own past and his recent conversation with Riku. He nodded, "I'm used to those. But listen, if you're not comfortable talking about it, I'm not going to force you. Sometimes it just...helps to talk and other times it is better to keep things to yourself if you're not ready."

Maes was a good listener though and he hoped that what Xion's Shade had said wasn't as bad as all that. Xion was a mystery though, she appeared very young and innocent about most things but he had seen her fight Harry's shade and knew that you didn't just pick that kind of thing up over night.

Maes listened quietly. He already had some idea of Heartless from his talk with Riku and some of the others on the SoL. It was still a little hard to believe that something like that existed, but he had been around the SoL for awhile, had seen some strange things, and was generally more accepting of the weird.

It explained a lot about her when she said she was created. How she could know so little, despite her apparent age. It made him think of the homunculi briefly, but she didn't seem the same as them and she certainly didn't have the tattoo. He was relieved at that, but decided not to bring that up right now.

"So let me guess. The Shade played with your doubts about your existence and your decision to go back to this person you're copied from, right?" Xion might not have used names, but Maes was smart enough, he had a very good feeling who this copy might be (though he couldn't prove it and if Xion had left out names, he wasn't about to ask).

He couldn't say whether friends needed to have hearts. He didn't have the experience to say and while he liked to believe it was possible, Xion probably wouldn't "buy it" coming from someone with a heart.

His face darkened slightly, thinking back to that thing. "Yeah. It told me I had let my friends down. That I deserved to die because I was stupid enough to fall for that things' tricks back home. That sort of thing."

Well, it had already come up in a number of conversations. Still, it was difficult to say it, admit to the fact that he wasn't supposed to be alive any more. Especially to a young girl.

"Before I got here...things weren't exactly the best for me."

Maes sighed. How to explain this?

"Remember when I said I ran into something like this before? Well, that thing was part of a group of other monsters that decided I had learned too much about their group's plans. They got rid of me before I could tell anyone else, which is how I found myself here. And that's what my shade focused on talking about while it was around."

It seemed she did understand. Maes wondered if looked pale, even after all this time of being alive on the SoL, it made him uncomfortable. He may not have been a doctor, but as a soldier he knew a fatal shot when he felt one. The nightmares weren't helping much either but, so far, he had mostly kept those to himself.

"Yeah...that's what I mean."

Hughes let out a sigh. Seeing her face become so sad was not what he had wanted. He had expected it to happen, but at the same time he didn't want to make others sad or worry about him. It was honestly his own burden to deal with and, well, he just didn't like thinking about it.

He forced a smile, he was good at doing that as he did it all the time, and ruffled Xion's hair, "But hey, I'm alive here and now and that's what's important. It means maybe I have a second chance if I can ever figure out how to get off this ship."

He wasn't that optimistic, of course, but he figured it's what Xion needed to hear.

"I hope he can. It doesn't seem fair that you've been dealt a fate like that." He replied. He knew very well that life wasn't fair, he knew two boys back home that could attest to that. Still, it was one thing when something happened to him because of his meddling, it was another entirely for a girl who had no say over her creation or existence to be treated and then forced to face into nothing.

"It's funny though...Riku said something similar to me in regards to my fate." He paused. "I can't say what will happen to either of us when we return, but we should both enjoy the time we have here."
