[That's not his name now. He shouldn't respond to it, shouldn't give Xemnas the satisfaction of him responding to it, but right now something as inconsequential as a name doesn't matter. Someone who is his has shown himself, has spoken to him, and his ears have already perked up in a clear indication of both interest and that he heard him.]
Xemnas.
[It's kind of unsettling to see him like this, even now - long and serpentine and, briefly, hovering. He crosses the distance between them anyway. Reaches out to touch, but reason finally catches up with him and he withdraws his hand quickly, just before making contact, as though he was burned.
He still doesn't leave him, though. If anything, the tentative swishing of his tail has quickened.]
You're alright.
[Ah. Maybe he shouldn't have said something. Maybe his filter isn't as secure as withholding touch might have indicated.]
