[Xion, having made up with her Seel and in the middle of petting it, hears the voice and freezes. The voice recognition comes in before she even looks up. Kairi, it's Kairi. The one whose image she's a copy of, because of Sora's memories. She can't possibly know who she is, but then nobody should...she would hate her for being the reason Sora can't come back, right?
Okay? No, she's terrified, confused, angry, trying not to scare off the little creature in front of her again, so many things at once she can almost feel herself beginning to shut down.
But still, she turns her eyes to Kairi--eyes that look very much like hers--and looks, just looks with total recognition and fear.
She really does look so much like her. But Kairi seems...full of light where Xion is not. She carries herself differently, she sounds different, she's overall better than her, right? Xion almost feels insulted on her behalf for being such a poor imitation of Kairi and wishes to stay silent because that's what a doll should do when faced with a better.
The Seel, however, interrupts this after looking between the two and finding--ah--this must be trainer's family! Very good! It starts clapping enthusiastically all over again and Xion is startled into an awkward mumble.]
I--I'm fine...I'm a...little lost, though. A-and I accidentally scared--[what is this thing, does it even have a name? It just says "Seel" and it looks like a seal, it must have come from the ocean, but she can't just call it "it" all the time. It needs a name. A good name, not an imaginary Nobody name.] Thalassa. [Her thoughts are on the shells she used to collect, all different shapes and colors and sizes. Thalassa shells--the oddly-shaped (and rare for her to find) shells she somehow--intuitively--knew that were made into good luck charms. Yes, it's perfect.]
