The thing that woke Xion wasn't the pleasant kisses scattered across his face, nor the tight embrace that seemed to melt him into Darius.
It was the static noise that buzzed in his mind, making his temples jump.
[Ho..... Host! I finally got the connection back!]
Xion nearly winced from the loud voice.
'It's night,' he replied.
Honestly, if he had to reply to this inconsiderate system verbally, he wouldn't have even bothered with a slight hum.
[Is it already?] Without caring much, the system went on, [I thought I fixed the broken connection really fast...]
Before the system could mutter something else, Xion shut it down with one word.
"Sleepy."
The system finally noticed that it was early in the morning hours, and definitely wasn't the time to discuss why there was a sudden erratic pulse the moment Xion met that priest.
So, silently, the system retreated into the recesses of Xion's mind.
