Jordan: Now for my personal favorite member of the O. XIII—Xigbar.

Rambling? As if.
~Xigbar, KH2
Kavma often wondered about the daily routines of the other members of the Order. He already knew that Roxas, Axel, and Xion gathered at the Twilight Town clock tower after their missions for ice cream and (this he suspected) gossip, yet he wasn't entirely sure of what the others did. He was sure that Demyx practiced on his sitar (for reasons why he didn't know what) and he had no doubt that Luxord played games of chance to passed the time, and Xigbar did…er…okay, he had no idea what Xigbar did after missions. He therefore resolved to find out.
Luckily, he did have to go far: Xigbar was in the Gray Area, sitting on a couch and looking at ease. Kavma sat down in front of him. "I see you're back from your mission." "Uh huh. It was totally bogus." "How so? Wait, don't tell me—reconnaissance?" "Yeah. Olympus Coliseum—had to snoop around a bit." "Sounds like fun." "Fun? As if. It was hardly a challenge."
"Probably because YOU dropped out the mission halfway so that Roxas had to do it alone, am I right?"
"Hey, he did it all right, didn't he?"
"That he did, and now, because of you, he wound up a trainee there. I seem to remember him telling me that you conveniently vanished when he was dragged into it—have you no shame?" "You act like it's a bad thing." "It IS a bad thing!" "Hey, hey, calm down, all right? 'Sides, no harm done." Kavma sighed. "I hope you're right."
Silence. Xigbar looked out the window at the moon. "Well, there it is, right out that window—Kingdom Hearts. What do you make of it?" Kavma examined the moon, looking slightly disinterested. "Well, to be honest, to me it is nothing but a heart-shaped moon in the sky, but to you, I am sure that it means quite a lot to you and the others." Xigbar looked at Kavma with his one eye. "Means nothing to you, huh? Why even bother helping us, then? What's in it for you?" "Nothing whatsoever. I'm just doing Xemnas a favor." Xigbar grinned. "A favor, huh? What kind of favor?" Kavma gave him a look. "That is something between him and me, so don't bother trying to snoop around and gather secrets for your own use, understand, Briag?" Xigbar gave no indication that Kavma had openly used his original name. After a moment of silence, he spoke up, changing the subject.
"You know, Roxas is maturing at an impressive rate. His face, the way he handles the Keyblade…it's all exactly the same."
Kavma nodded. "He reminds you a lot of Ven, doesn't he?" "Hey, it's hard not to be reminded." Kavma crossed his arms. "Hmm…these worlds all seem so divided and alone, yet there's always that steady thread there to connect them."
"…And we Nobodies can never escape the things we did as humans," said Xigbar. "So it goes," said Kavma.
More silence, then Kavma sat up. "I have things to do, so you'll have to excuse me. And for heavens sake, Xigbar, don't pull a stunt like today's again, all right?" Xigbar rolled his eye. "All right, I get the message." It wasn't until after Kavma left that he realized he forgot to ask Xigbar what he did after missions.
Roxas was just about to enter his room when he heard a loud "BLAST IT ALL!!!!" from upstairs. Nobody or not, this scared the living daylights out of him, and he ran into his room, slammed the door shut, and dove under the covers, wondering what the heck had happened.
Jordan: I didn't do very well with this, did I? Don't worry, Xaldin's is better…I think…
