A/N: I'm so proud of myself for staying on top of these updates so far. Cross your fingers that I can keep it up! XD
Anyway, and introducing a new character, Vincent! As a reminder, he's Xion's paternal grandfather, and the father of Ven and Vanitas. Aurora's had a little bit of screen time, and so I'm glad I finally managed to work Vincent into here too. You can thank him for the fact that everyone's last name is Valentine. ;P
Also, Xion calls back to the prompt "Vacation" here, which was in chapter 4. And the moment that she shared with Vincent and is recalling happened when she was a young girl.
Warnings: Well, Vincent is indulging into some computer hacking here, and technically corporate espionage? Don't do that, kids.
Dedication: To Ghostwriter and Lauren, I hope your holidays have been wonderful!
Disclaimer: See chapter 1.
Mangoes and Limes
Prompt 38: Technology
Grandpa Vincent didn't scare Xion. This was generally regarded as most surprising. As Sora put it, "You were scared of me when we first met, but not Grandpa Vince?"
Xion rolled her eyes. "Grandpa Vince didn't run around the house screaming like a barbarian."
Much less traumatizing, Vincent had pulled her up into his lap, and she'd watched, fascinated, as his fingers tapped a keyboard, hacking into some site or another. Grandpa Vince was a retired Turk, but he said he "liked to keep them on their toes".
She hadn't understood, but Xion had just snuggled back into his chest.
