[December 24th, action]
... But she deserves to know. That, for him, is enough of a reason.]
The draft lasted five days. I spent at least half of that trapped in a shitty cave-in. [No food, or water] A blast got us out, but the Third Party didn't show us much of a warm welcome. [I was too tired to fight at my best... and Vivi-chan... I had to protect her, too.]
I got lucky. Kotetsu and Nami-san found us on the last day, before I died.
[December 24th, action]
... I'm glad. When ... when the Third Party found you, is that when...? [ She gestures, somewhat vaguely, to his shoulder, meaning to indicate his wings. ]
[December 24th, action]
Vivi-chan was with me. [he... doesn't think he needs to explain why he'd been so distracted]
[December 24th, action]
I bet you were pretty worn out by then, too. [ A deliberate understatement.
She pauses for a moment, then examines his expression carefully. ]
... did anything else happen?
[December 24th, action]
--No, you fuckin asshole, don't lead in like that.]
... Have you ever been on the sea before, Xion?
[December 24th, action]
[ But she's not sure she likes where this is going. ]
[December 24th, action]
[he takes a deep breath] Dehydration. All that shitty water around you, but if you don't have your own purified stuff, you'll die by the third day.
If you're lucky.
[December 24th, action]
You didn't have any supplies, did you?
[December 24th, action]

What does she say? "Sorry" would be awful, and too little, and not even appropriate here. Pity is worse.
So she's silent, honestly lost for words by the magnitude of what happened to him. ]
[December 24th, action]
It was tough, rut... [It's here that he trails off suddenly, a little surprised by the direction his thoughts are taking - like he's trying to compensate for the ugliness of his past circumstances. It makes him frown, almost confused]
Heh. I don't remember the last time I got to talk with Vivi-chan like that...
[December 24th, action]
[ It's weak, and she knows it, and he knows it. Her smile is very faint, but ... understanding. She has a guess why he's suddenly going in that direction, putting a "but" on such a horrific thing. Sometimes it's easier that way. ]
[December 24th, action]
Xion's homecoming would be filled with more tears, he suspects.]
Yeah, it was.

But again she is quiet. She still doesn't know what to say, or how. But she can't stay silent forever, and so she finally rises, and gives Sanji a hug. ]
I don't want to say I'm sorry, because that doesn't sound right. Not for what you went through. But I'm glad, really glad, that you and Vivi made it. Not that I think ... I mean... [ A beat, as she gathers her thoughts. ] I think, no matter how bad it got, that there was no way you weren't going to get out of that. Even if it seems like it was just luck, or chance... it was you, Sanji. Of course everything turned out okay.
[ She knows that there is some inherent risk, in this display of faith, when really, it was random chance that freed him and Vivi. But at the same time... she really does believe that a way would have been found. She believes in her dad, 100%. ]
Re: [December 24th, action] oh Xion. ;; you said the right/wrong thing
No, she's wrong. A tiny tremble shudders through him at just how wrong she is about this, and he suddenly returns the hug, his head placed on top of hers.
So she doesn't have to see his crumbled expression.]
No, Xion. [He can barely hear his own voice under the torrent of emotion pounding in his ears, the sound of his heartbeat it's own shameful jab] It wasn't me.
[He didn't save himself. Vivi had to do all the work. He gave up back there, convinced it was the only way his nakama could stand a chance. You don't carry any dead weight with you when you're crawling out of hell.]
[December 24th, action] gdit dad you make her worry about you
Dad... [ She hugs him tight. ] Then what was it?
