[This time, Xion doesn't really respond to the embrace much, beyond a slight lean into it. The touch grounds her, a little, though there's only so much comfort that can really be had.
She's three going on four. Anybody else would say she shouldn't have to deal with this. Xion doesn't quite have enough perspective of "normal" to agree, but even she wishes that she could have some time to just... be. With her friends, her family, everything. Get caught up in their messes, maybe. Meet their friends and family.
Her shoulders are shaking in Aqua's grip though, very slightly. She doesn't cry. A part of her wishes she could.
She doesn't lift her head at all when she finally speaks.]
What do I do?
[Xion no, don't just push past this like it's nothing-]
