Week 5

[It's been five weeks (since you looked at me) and with the deaths of Shadow and Rukia, the group that was initially 20 strong has dwindled down to ten. Ten people in the span of a month and, even with the Overseers seeming increase in empathy for the remaining Champions, there is no end in sight for the Champion Excellence Program.

And again at 7 am on Sunday the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning. After the initial wake-up call there is no new floor announcement this week.

And again the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday


[ooc: welcome to week 5, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

[It wasn't too much, just not expected. She's still trying to understand why he would even like her, but love?

She makes herself take a deep breath to calm those nerves that flared up. Xander stuttering means he's as nervous as she is, and as much as it makes her feel bad, at the same time it was somewhat endearing? She smiles softly and leans forward to kiss his cheek.]

It's fine. Just never expected anyone to ever say something like that to me.

I don't see why.

[That kiss soothes his nerves, and he rests his head on her shoulder, eyes drooping a bit]

[When he rests his head, she reaches up and gently strokes his hair.]

I'll tell you when you're awake. Let's lay down.

[She moves just enough to lay down and pull him with her. He can get himself as comfortable as he wants.] I'm not going anywhere.

[It's strange... he hasn't shared a bed with anyone since his siblings were much younger. Not just to sleep at least.]

I'm going to hold you to that...

[He's clearly too tired to argue, and it doesn't take long at all for him to start dozing- finally actually relaxing]

[She could say the same. Serah was the last to be in the same bed with her.

Except it's different this time. Somehow better. She places a gentle hand on his head as he dozes off and is left with her own thought as he sleeps. This time they are much happier than before. It's nice.

At least one of them is getting some sleep tonight.]
