Xion honed in to the sound of fluttering wings, knowing Cross Fyre had been watching him for some time now. His walking went unwavered as she landed beside him, though he did pause as her slim arms were suddenly around his neck. Cross Fyre was probably the only creature in the universe who had ever seen his soft, gentle side. Something about her could do that to him and they had been together so long now that it didn't bother him to show it to her. Smiling as he wrapped one strong arm around her slim body to hug her back, he kissed her head as she started spouting off questions. In no situation had Xion ever neglected to take care of her and kissing her head was his symbol of protection to her, it was only for her.<br/><br/>"Trentoss' gotten me into a pissy mood but you make it better," he replied, giving a goofy grin as he looked down at her. Setting Cross Fyre back onto her own feet before he continued walking. "I wish i had been able to take you Cross, but it would have been too dangerous for you to be around me while i was getting stronger. There were many moments where i hadn't been able to control my power and barely managed to keep from killing Devil. I told you im alright now, theres just something on my mind. What about you? How's my favorite girl?" he asked, looking down at her again.<br/><br/>Though the sound of her wings folding back into her spine would often make other creatures grimace, it never bothered him. Xion would probably never admit it but he had a bit of a thing for Cross Fyre, ever since he had found her there had been a sort of pull towards her. Anything and everything she did fascinated him, but he didn't show it or else other creatures would know that she was his strongest weakness. So to keep Cross Fyre out of danger, he never acted like he truly cared much about what she did though the only person to know different was Cross herself. There were secret symbols of his protection and love for her, even if she didn't know which kind of love he meant.<br/><br/>"Cross. Do you know anything about a cube?" Xion asked suddenly as they approached the capitol's outer limits. Homes lined the sandy roads on both sides, a whole maze of streets spreading out over a thirty mile radius with homes lining both sides. The homes were four story tall buildings, each creature owning two story's of the four. These styled homes were for those who wanted to live in the capitol, but the Sazuno's that chose to live outside of the capitol were free to do what they wished, since there was no law anywhere else on the planet except for the capitol. Many of the Sazuno people chose to stay inside the capitol and few ventured out.<br/><br/>Kicking up sand as they walked, Xion patiently waited on Cross and kept his senses open for any dnager that might befall them on their way to the capitol.
