A Thundersnow Event [Vexen | Invite]

Xion wandered aimlessly around Even's lab, wishing he were back already. There was so much to talk about, so many things to discuss and learn and she wanted to listen to Even's talk of science and such things. Having come back, with hardly any idea how, Xion had filled her days wandering the castle or pacing Even's laboratory, looking idly at things collected or glancing at files here and there in very neat and precise organization, clear and concise writing labelled each item in a specific order. She sighed, sitting down at Even's desk for a moment, resting her elbows on the surface of the desk, and her head on her hands.

Why does it always feel like I'm waiting for something..or someone.. I feel like there are things I'm forgetting, but what?

She idly traced the fingers of her free hand over the surface of the desk, her eyes roaming to the spare labcoat. She smiled a bit, feeling there's a connection between them that cannot be explained but is special and possibly unbreakable. She doesn't know why, but his actions on the day she awakened, disoriented and confused and lost, his care for her spoke volumes without a word. She knew there was something there, but what?

Xion would stand, moving to pick up the labcoat. It was cool to the touch, and clean and crisp material, almost a brilliantly glowing white. Wrapping it around herself for a moment, Xion inexplicably felt..safer. The coat smelled slightly of a cleaner, and a faint hint of a minty sort of smell..wintergreen, possibly? Whatever it was, it made her feel less alone, as if there was a protective power in the labcoat. Wasn't entirely impossible, was it..? However, the door opening and a strangely somewhat familiar sense of a presence but not recognizable caught Xion off-guard. Setting the coat down, she turned toward the door as the stranger spoke, blue eyes wary of this unknown and at the same time rather offended at the intrusion of what should have been protected space.

"Excuse me, but there's nobody here. You should leave, please. This isn't your place to be, and people really aren't allowed in here."

She gestured toward the door the taller blonde had come through.

"If you were looking for someone, you should try again later.. Or not, preferably. There aren't supposed to be unauthorized people in this lab or anywhere else in the castle.

Something about this blonde really put Xion on edge but she didn't know why. She just knew that her being here wasn't a good thing.
