"I wouldn't say that I'm the spontaneous one." Xion said. She certainly had no control over her brother and was just making do with whatever he had planned. Zack never led them astray so far. "Besides, he likes food too much."

"Well spontaneously to go with at least though." She remarked with a smirk. "Does he? Well ... good to know then I guess."

"I had to be with Zack... He doesn't stick to a schedule or anything like that." Xion said. She more or less considered it being flexible with her brother but she supposed she was accustomed to just following Zack's lead. "Do... you like Zack?"

Astrid had to laugh quite heavily. It really sounded like it would fit for Zack to her knowledge so far. At Xions question though she immediately stopped laughing as she was quite puzzled. Did she mean it like if she liked him at all or in a romantic way? "Uhm yes? He appears to be a really nice person and I surely do have fun with him."

Xion nodded. She found it strange that Astrid had started laughing so hard only to stop at her seemingly innocent question. Maybe she should consult a few of the books about it? It was odd to say the least, obviously something worth noting. "Zack's always good for a laugh." she agreed.

"Oh yeah he definitely is. And for some flirting to my knowledge." She replied with a happy chuckle.

"Oh..." Xion said softly. She knew about her brother's flirting. He had been serious once until the girl broke his heart and had stuck with flirting. She could already remember how torn up he had been about it and how long it took for him to go back to normal - with some minor differences, like flirting. "I see..."

"Uhm anything wrong?" Astrid replied a bit confused.

"It's not any of my business who Zack flirts with." Xion said. Though apparently it was his business as to who she saw. It was the worst part about Zack's over protectiveness. Xion felt smothered at times. She just worried about Zack. "You won't lead him on if it's not serious right?"

"Uuuuuuhm?" Now that catched Astrid clearly off guard and left her blushing quite heavily and looking confused at Xion.

"It's either yes or no... right?" Xion asked, "Or have you not decided yet?" Xion realized those sorts of things took time. Rushing into them was what got Zack's heart broken in the first place. And it had clearly done her mother no good.

"Uhm ... Eh ... i don't know? All I can say so far that I do like him and to spend time with him but any further interest I doubt I can tell you for sure yet. I mean we only got to meet each other not that long ago." Astrid replied heavily blushing since she still was quite suprised and confused.

Xion nodded. It made sense. "Just don't sleep with him until you are sure," she said. "His last girlfriend did that. I didn't like her..." Zack had improved his taste in women since then but he hadn't been serious about any of them and certainly hadn't let anyone of them into bed with him since then. Xion wished she could have gotten back at the woman for hurting her brother but she couldn't.

Now that just made Astrid spit out the sip of hot chocolate she just had taken a moment ago. " What?!? I ... What? I haven't even thought about sleeping with Zack. Well I surely do like him and wouldn't say no if things lead that way but ... of course only if the ... circumstances are right. I'm not that kind of girl that has sex with everyone anytime don't worry."

"Feelings and flirting often leads to sex." Xion shrugged. She picked up a napkin and offered it to Astrid when she spit out her drink. Xion might have difficulties working out her own feelings but she knew what happened on campuses like this one, especially since she already went to college once. "Especially how Zack flirts."

"... Okay now I just have to ask, do you wanna bring me together with your brother? Uhm thanks for the warning though? I will keep it in mind." She replied heavily blushing after the shock seemed to pass.

"Dunno." Xion said honestly. "I don't really know you well enough to say whether you're good enough to date Zack. And if he decides to sleep with you that's his business. Unless you turn out to be bad for him. Then it's my business."

"Uhm yaaay." She replied getting more and more quiet before taking another sip, still blushing.

"I made you feel uncomfortable..." Xion said softly as it dawned on her. She hated it when people made her feel that way and here she was doing the same thing to Astrid. "I'm sorry... I didn't meant to."

"No it's fine just ... VERY unexpected that's all. But I think I can understand your concern." She replied, the blush slowly but surly starting to disappear.

Xion traced a finger over the rim of her cup. She bit her lip and looked down. It would appear that based on Astrid's reaction to it, that talking about her potential sex life with Zack was not something that should be discussed. "He's better at this than me..." Xion said. "Being... social."

Seeing Xions reaction she smiled gently at the girl. "It's fine don't worry. You will learn and besides, in case your brother and I become a pair I'm sure well get along well now after start." She replied chuckleing. Now that one of the most spieciiest topics was already reached that early how bad could it get anyways.

Xion shrugged. She supposed they got along just fine despite a few of Xion's hiccups. She took a drink of her hot chocolate. "If you decide to date," Xion said. Who knew, maybe Zack found someone else or Astrid wouldn't end up liking Zack as anymore than a friend. Or they could really hit it off.

"That's right, IF." She replied with a chuckle. Who could already knew what the future will hold for them?

Xion nodded. She finished off the last of her hot chocolate. "But I'd like it... if we were friends." Xion murmured softly. Unless she was geeking out with a few of the other students in her assigned power group, Xion had tended to mess up most of her interactions with others.
