OC rambling... putting this under a readmore cuz i predict it'll get long
I've had it so that if Xan appeared in the game he'd be a "post-game dlc" type character, but lately ive been thinking about what kind of role he may have if he were in the main story! namely i've been picturing a scenario where he frees AZ from the team flare lab 😭 sneakily following behind the protagonist... overhearing AZ telling the story of what happened during the war from his own POV (Xan would tell the story slightly differently as you can imagine) .... maybe when Lysandre goes to leave he gets jumped off screen so Xan can acquire a device needed to open the weird little cage/jail cell/illegal holding facility AZ is in.
(I also considered Xan entering WITH the protagonist and them doing double battles together which is cute, but there is No situation in which I can see him willingly using the spin-pad thingies. This scenario would also require Xan staying back a liittle while the protagonsit goes to confront Lysandre here, because I don't think AZ would say all that he does if he knew Xan was listening in on it. At this point in time their relationship is a absolutely better than it was near and immedietly after the war, but they're not at a point where they can actually discuss these difficult topics with one another yet)
I like this idea bc I think it could make for a really sweet scene. Something important about Xan is the lengths he'll go for his brother (even to his own detriment, sometimes even to AZ's detriment if it's a scenario where Xan thinks he knows best). But of course this is a scenario where it's just a very caring gesture. Something with AZ sorta tiredly stumbling forward and hugging Xan 🥺
I do like the idea a lot, but I would have to figure out why Xan is in Kalos to begin with 😭 for AZ the implication is that all his years of searching have finally led him back to Kalos. Xan isn't searching for Floette, he's a pessimistic and doesn't think she'll ever return (though he never says this to AZ, because he knows it would be cruel to admit what he thought deep down), so that couldn't be his reason. Of course it could just be a coincidence... something where during a conversation with the player he mysteriously goes "Hmm? You met a man my same height not too long ago? ...Hah. We two always end up in the same place, eventually..."
waaaiiiittt now that i'm thinking about it, it could be something as mundane as "yeah there's a mysterious super tall guy whose our neighbor. yeah it seems like despite living here for decades he hasn't aged at all. but he's really nice (if a bit overly serious and humourless and pushy) and likes helping out so everyone's pretty much gotten used to him." I actually do like this idea a lot, it's simple but it works... a point of contrast for AZ and Xan is that like... while AZ has been essentially deified, Xan is extremely, painfully human. Even when he's at his angriest he reacts in a very human way, he doesn't have the capacity to do such huge and horrific things like AZ does.
Anyways. I keep thinking about how I would handle the parade at the end if I did go this route because it's such a big moment for AZ and I don't want to lessen it for him or take the spotlight off him! But also "King-brothers AZ and Xanthos would like to battle!" is very charming and a good way to show the start of a new beginning for both of them. also something very, very sweet about the idea of floette returning to him in this context too, AZ choosing to stand besides his brother is very tangible evidence of him finally letting go of his anger.

perhaps i wrote this just to have someone say the words "emotional support wizard" out loud to radri
Radri: !!
(Panicked, Radri pushes Xan into a shadowed alcove and follows herself, hiding them both.)
Xan: Why are we hiding? Your name has already been clear—mmph!
(She silences him with a hand over his mouth. On the street, two figures walk up to where they'd just stood.)
Person 1: You're sure you saw the new "hero"? I think you've been spending too much time in the tavern.
Person 2: I swear it was her! Got the red cape, the black hair…
Person 1: Lotta people match that description, mate. (Claps a hand on person 1's back, turning them both back to whence they came.) I don't get all the hype, anyway. How do we know she's not the same as her half-brother?
Radri: …
Radri: Let's just go back to the palace.
Xan: Radri—
Radri: Then I'll go alone!
Xan: Estel'amin!
(He catches her hand, preventing her escape.)
Xan: I am no more a fan of your newfound fame than you, but you cannot just keep hiding yourself away from the world.
Radri: …Nothing has changed, or will ever change. Best that I stop pretending and return to my cage.
Xan: It is not a cage. Any rational person would consider being offered a room in the palace to be an honor.
Radri: So I'm irrational, now.
Xan: (sigh) Are you firm in your conviction to willfully distort the words of those who would support you?
Radri: …
(He hugs her, his warmth at her back, his arms across her chest.)
Xan: I will go with you, wherever you choose. If you wish to go back, I will follow. But our people were not meant to live deprived of the sun, the land, and the sky… I do not wish to see you starve yourself.
Radri: …
(Her hand rises to his sleeve, accepting his embrace, but her tension is still there: her grasp tightens, pulling folds into the fabric, her fingers trembling…)
(…And her dream fades, along with the warmth that had encircled her. The fabric clutched in her hand is no longer a sleeve but a blanket, and the sounds of the Copper Coronet begin to filter back into her awareness. Try as she might, and as still as she may lie, there's no returning to her dream—but as she wakes, she realizes that the sensation of nearness that she had felt in her soul, their bond, has not yet faded away. It's impossible, and yet...)
(Flinging the covers aside, she flies across the room and pulls open the door. For some reason, Yoshimo stands there, his back to the doorway—and across from him stands the subject of her dream himself.)
Xan: I understand that she needs rest, friend, but if you will just tell me which room is—(Xan's gaze flicks over to the doorway at her sudden appearance) …hers….
(Despite his alert gaze and firm tone, Xan appears tired in a way that she has become increasingly familiar with in the past few days, a tiredness not of the body but of the heart. Still, the moment he locks eyes with her, all the weight of the world disappears, and his dark eyes light up with relief.)
Xan, whispered: …Radri.
(In an instant, the distance between them is gone. He holds her so closely and presses in so far that she's leant back, and must reach up in order to wrap her arms around his neck and shoulders, tangling her fingers in his traveling cloak. A wide smile stretches across her face, and she laughs as Xan buries his face into the tender space between her neck and her shoulder, the delicate waves of his hair brushing against her cheek and her jaw.)
Tumblr media
Radri: I was just dreaming about you…
Xan: So was I. Although, it is an unfair coincidence when I have dreamed of you nearly every night since we parted.
(At some point, Yoshimo must have slipped away, because when her eyes open again the thief is gone—and this thought, too, slips away from her, because Xan releases her and faces her again at last, wearing a small and precious smile upon his face.)
(Her own smile wobbles. She'd been able to review her memories of him in reverie, but she'd forgotten just how it feels to hold him in person. His voice; his warmth; his touch. He is real, he is here, and…)
(It's too much. She has to pull away.)
Xan, concerned: Radri?
(Her smile trembles; tears have welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.)
Radri: I'm… I'm just so happy to see you.
(The gravity dragging her smile down says otherwise. She must not cry, not now—but Xan caresses her cheek with the corner of his sleeve, and she realizes that she already is. Xan's own rare smile is gone, now, replaced by a look of understanding and resignation.)
Xan: If only that were the sole cause of tears in this world. You do not need to spare me: something terrible has happened.
Xan: I… felt it, myself. A pain so swift and terrible that it incapacitated me for hours without warning. I lived in fear of its next arrival—of what its source could be to have traveled across the channel of our bond with such frightening clarity. For if it were only an echo—if you were in much greater pain than that, then—then…
(He cuts himself off, greatly worried.)
Xan: Please, Estel'amin… will you speak to me?
Radri: …
(She has experienced too much in these past few weeks; some part of her no longer feels like the Radri he knows.)
Radri: After you left, I…
Radri: I couldn't stay in the city.
Radri: I embraced any task that would take me from its walls. Perhaps that's why it was so easy for h-him to—to—
Radri: We were—
Radri: I—
(Whether it's her ill-timed tears, or the emotion bursting forth from the hasty bandage she's pasted over the wound of the past few weeks, her voice refuses to sound. She tries again, the memories running through her head, scenes to images to words, but the words refuse to leave.)
(Her journal. It is still on the bed, and ink is still upon the bedside table. Radri lunges for it and starts scribbling on its pages—the city, the road, the cage, the escape—and when it is all there, in a desperate messy scrawl, she rips the pages from the book and thrusts them into Xan's hands.)
(He reads it silently, and Radri paces.)
Xan: The… the attack, the marketplace… that was your escape? Yesterday?
(She nods, not meeting his eye.)
Xan: Radri…
Radri: Don't. I know what you're going to say.
Radri: I should have been more careful, I should have been alone, it's all my fault, I—
Xan: It is not. You are the last person who should bear responsibility for this. Fault lies solely with your captor, this—this Irenicus. If I could, I would—
(He cuts himself off, his eyes newly filled with worry, and she realizes that she's held herself so tightly she's trembling, her nails digging into her skin.)
Xan: …No. I will subject you to these recollections no more tonight. Tonight, we should rest, and in the morning—
Radri: I find every quest I can get my hands on.
Xan: In time, yes, but I was going to suggest a proper bath. My travels have left their grime on me—and you, I would guess, still feel as though traces of his lair and his spells continue to cling to you after your escape.
Xan: Now, will you come here, so that we may rest together? Or would you rather that I find my own rooms for the time being?
(It's barely a decision. Her feet take her to him wordlessly, and she falls into his arms, embracing him.)
Radri: I missed you. I missed you, so much…
(Xan holds her back tightly, the look in his eyes relieved but haunted.)
Xan: So did I.
(Later, Radri has fallen back asleep, but Xan lies awake beside her, watching over her. He kisses her gently on the forehead, and whispers a promise in elvish: I will never leave you again.)
Yoshimo: So, this is a past companion of yours, I assume?
Radri, embarrassed: Oh! Yes, I forgot. Yoshimo, this is Xan. He is….
(Xan just looks at her, content to wait for her answer. Radri is lost in thought as she gazes back; she hasn't really had to describe what Xan is to her before.)
Yoshimo: Your emotional support wizard?
Radri, startled out of her thoughts: M-my—? No! I mean, yes, he's an enchanter, but in that sense he's more of an emotional offense wizard, and—
Xan, saving her: I am an enchanter, and a former Greycloak of Evereska. That is all that really needs to be said.
Radri, blurting out what she was thinking earlier: And I'm in love with him.
Xan, red: …
Radri, red, realizing she should clarify that she isn't just now confessing an unrequited love in public: —And it's mutual!
Xan, awkwardly: It is mutual.
Yoshimo, amused: I gathered as much from your greeting yesterday. You know, you are much more fun now than you were before. A light heart looks good on you, my friend.
(With that, Yoshimo leaves, and Xan stares after him.)
Xan: "A light heart"? Is he not aware of the losses that you and the others have endured, or is he simply willfully obtuse?
(Radri casts her gaze down to their joined hands, as comforted by the sight now as she was before Athkatla, and gives a small, worn smile.)
Radri: No, I think I see what he means. (Her smile drops.) You don't know, what I.… What I must have looked…
(Radri appears close to tears again, and Xan can't help but look at her with worry in his eyes. He squeezes her hand.)
Xan: Just one day, Estel'amin… You should allow yourself to recover before you venture out again. Athkatla and its people can wait.
(Though still teary-eyed, Radri's gaze grows dull and resigned.)
Radri: Can Imoen? There is no rest for me until she is free again.
Xan: …
Xan: I understand. Do what you must.
===
Xan: My return to Evereska? I did not think it would interest you.
Radri: Xan, everything about you interests me.
Xan, pink: Do not think such words will work on me indefinitely.
Xan: Well, the journey itself was uneventful—truly, Radri, I am not glossing over a thing. There was the occasional rabbit here and there in the brush, a passing merchant's caravan, and at one point, a doe—
Radri: A doe! Now that is an event.
(Radri is clearly joking, and Xan sighs.)
Xan: In any case, I returned to Evereska unharmed.
Xan: …You will forgive me, I hope, if I do not share my last walks around the city. It is too soon and too bittersweet to speak about—and I have certainly shared more than enough about my home in reverie.
Xan: Aside from that… Ah, I suppose you would find my resignation from the Greycloaks interesting.
Xan: I had given my report on the iron shortage, but before I could even segue into my resignation, I was requested for another mission.
Xan: Apparently, in my time away, my abilities had advanced leaps and bounds beyond those of my colleagues. The moonblade had already set me apart before, so this advancement pushed me to the forefront of my superiors' attention.
Xan: They asked me to investigate, if you will believe it, Athkatla, where rumors of an emerging vampire coven had begun to circulate. You can imagine my immediate trepidation; even if I had not been planning to resign, I would have wanted to say no.
Xan: But then they asked again. Including someone, who… one does not say no to, let us just say that.
Xan: They impressed upon me the importance of this mission, that I was the only one for the role….
Radri, quiet, resigned: …So you agreed.
Xan: I have indeed long grown accustomed to following orders, Estel'amin—but in this case, no. I refused, and resigned as I had planned, then made my preparations for the journey back.
Xan: That is not to say that the decision was easy. They had made it clear that if I refused, no other was as suited for this task than I, so I would surely be sending a fellow Greycloak into impossible odds—and indeed, almost certainly, to their death.
Radri: They played upon your guilt?!
Xan: …They laid the situation out plainly.
Xan: But I knew that if I accepted, I would not see you again for a year or more. I had made my promise to return to you—and more than that, I could not bear the thought of leaving you alone. Perhaps I would indeed be trading the life of another for yours… but so be it. One does not become a Greycloak without full awareness of the risks involved. And I know now, of course, that my fears for you were not unwarranted.
Xan: With that, I embarked on my journey back, and soon put the entire exchange out of my mind. I remember thinking, too, how fortunate it was that the vampire coven had been said to have appeared in Athkatla, a good distance from Baldur's Gate. Surely Radri would not wish to cross the Cloud Peaks, I thought, so I need never see for myself if these rumors are true… (sigh) And here we are.
Xan: Vampire sightings are abound, and they are not even the greatest terror on our list. Still, knowing the course of your fate, we will certainly wind up facing the entire coven head on, so I have picked up a bit of research. (He holds up a book.) Did you know that a mere looking glass can supposedly distract a vampire for a generous split second?
Radri: …
Xan: Not impressive enough for you, I suppose?
Radri: No, it's just…
Radri: I should just expect it at this point, right?
Xan: ?
Radri: Vampires are hardly the first rumors to come alive to hunt me. If I so much as hear mention of a malicious spellcaster, I should expect that I will face them; if too great a distance stands between myself and hostile forces, I should expect that the land will find a way to deliver me there so that they may hurt me. Nothing will ever end.
Xan, worried: Radri—?
Radri: When we faced Sarevok, I wanted it to end with him. I wanted it so badly, I didn't even stop to think. I wanted my life, free from walls, from assassins, from doppelgangers, from Sarevok's plans—but I was so stupid. I know the prophecies—I've heard them chanted every day for far too many years. There are too many of us, and if I'm alive, I'm still a part of it. If not Sarevok, then someone else. If not Irenicus, then someone else. If I—if—
(Radri's fingers curl into her tied hair, pulling into a fist as she hunches in on herself; Xan abandons the book, touching her arm gently.)
Xan: Estel'amin… you cannot think so far ahead.
(Radri doesn't face him, still distraught, still hurt.)
Radri: Don't you agree with me? I'm doomed, remember?
Xan: I know. Do you think that there is any second that passes in which I am not fully aware of that fact?
(Distress has slipped into his voice, and Radri finally looks up at him, finding fear and worry in his eyes that she realizes he's been trying to hide from her since he returned.)
Xan: It is exactly why you cannot let yourself falter.
Radri: For what? Either I die or I suffer, and—and you can't say a thing, because everyone else gets a choice, and I don't. Unlike them, my fate is set. This is the rest of my life.
Xan: …
Xan: You are right. It seems that there will never be an end to the people who wish to harm you.
Xan: But what of the moments in-between? The stories told by moonlight; the evenings in the tavern; the dew in the early morning, and the walks spent hand in hand—do these not count for something?
Xan: What of this moment? I do not see any of your enemies around right now—do you? Perhaps I am wrong, and there is a shadow thief tucked behind that curtain who will soon burst out and slit our throats, but…
Xan: Here, now, we are together. We are at peace—relatively. And the rest of our lives—however short the Fates may decide to cut them, however much suffering we will experience—will continue to grant us such moments, despite everything.
Xan: Sarevok, Irenicus, your doom… they are not the rest of your life, not even close. But you must decide for it to be so, and take these moments where you can. …Do you see?
(Tears well up in her eyes; she ducks her head to wipe them away, and tries, though her voice is tremulous, to joke.)
Radri: Did your return to Evereska change you so drastically? You sounded almost optimistic.
Xan: The optimism is yours, in fact. Though I believe your exact words were, "Xan, just focus on the moment," and "Everything will be alright because I will make it so." I have merely isolated what I believe to be the underlying philosophy behind your words.
Radri: "I will make it so"? Surely I never said that…
Xan: You did, and I thought it heartachingly naive at the time, but was comforted nevertheless because the words came from you.
Xan, whispered, almost reverent: Estel'amin…
Xan: You must hold onto your hope. You must, or I fear you will not survive your destiny.
(Radri's tears fall at last, too quickly to wipe away, and Xan holds her, now more worried than before.)
Xan, quietly: …But if you cannot bring yourself to wield it again yet, I will attempt to in your stead. Will you permit me to make another attempt?
(Radri nods silently, and Xan whispers.)
Xan: "Everything will be alright because you will make it so…"
(Radri is surprised into laughing through her tears, and Xan would smile slightly if he weren't so incredibly relieved.)
Radri: Is that a command? Are you trying to pressure me, now?
Xan: (sigh) I said that I would make an attempt, not that it would be successful. Certainly now you see what I mean; there is no fathomable way for me to invoke the same spark of inspiration that you do.
(Radri's smile fades, but she leans into him.)
Radri: No… try it again.
Xan: Again?
Radri: The same words. ...Just trust me.
Xan: "Everything will be alright, because…"
Radri: There—stop there.
Radri: If only for a moment…
===
Xan: Here, let me shoulder this for a while.
(Xan casts strength and carries Radri's backpack for her. Radri is surprised, then laughs, smiling into her hand.)
Radri: You are so silly sometimes. I can more than handle the weight.
Xan: A burden remains a burden, regardless of strength. If you are committed to taking it back, however….
Radri, dancing out of his reach: Taking what back? Last I remember, you always carried two bags.
===
[Ras, the dancing blade]
Radri, eyes sparkling: Oh, I love it!
Xan, flatly: Yes, because what we need in this party is a second semi-sentient sword.
Radri, beaming at the animated blade: Don't listen to him, you're perfect. You're immune to most status effects, aren't you? Aren't you, little guy?
Xan: (sigh)
Xan: …
Xan: You wield a flaming sword, and now a sentient one. I cannot help but notice a pattern…
Radri: …What?
Xan, bowing with a slight smile: They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and flattered I am.
Radri, pink with embarrassment: I choose my equipment based on their usefulness in battle. It's a coincidence!
Xan: Oh? It doesn't look that way from where I'm standing. Or does "coincidence" see fit to coordinate us even in our weaponry?
Radri: To coordinate you would need to wield a long sword. And I remember you saying that despite appearances, the moonblade is as light and swift as a dagger… is it not?
Xan: …
Xan, sour: I suppose you would rather that I be a muscle-bound warrior instead.
Radri: Xan—
Xan: No, no. Carry on. Or has the enchantment on your new blade already run out?
(Xan turns away, the blade clatters to the ground, and Radri stares after him devastated)
Radri, hugging Xan: Can we go back to when you were smug and amused?
Xan: The moment is in the past.
Radri: (Q_Q)
Xan: (sigh) As is the bite of your words, intentional or not.
(He kisses her on the forehead, and Radri, relieved, kisses him back)
Xan: But did you really have to purchase the sword?
(Cut to the sword obediently slicing vegetables for dinner)
Radri, gesturing grandly: Think of the uses, Xan!
Xan, flatly: For only twenty-four seconds at a time, before it must recharge for eight hours? What a steal. Besides, there is a spell that could do the same.
Radri, genuinely: Oh? What school of magic does it belong to?
Xan: ….
Xan, mood souring further: ……….
Radri: No! No! Forget I asked!

Hi, Fukase anon here! Sorry, It never occurred to me that people may have a hard time coming up with things for characters they don't know a lot about. Sorry :( /gen

Xan has never been cynical. He's never had it in him, never had a reason to be. Even his lack of faith in King Hastur had come with great resistance, because he wanted to be optimistic. But he couldn't fight his pessimism in this cage. There is no part of him that believes he'll get out of here, no matter how often Mele and Riley say he will. He's already given up.
Tumblr media
"I wish I had your faith. Yours and Riley's." He sighs, casting his gaze to the floor as he considers his next words. Should he be honest? Should he tell her the truth? He's trapped behind bars. There's nothing she can really do about it. "I don't see a way out of here for me. Not under King Zivian. We're lucky he hasn't executed me for treason yet. I want to believe for you. For Riley. I do. I just..."
it was a harsh truth, and she hated it. there was no life for them like this but she was not about to abandon him. mele couldn't leave him, not now, not ever. she couldn't even entertain the thought of another man.
Tumblr media
❛ ❛ you won't be here forever. ❜ ❜ and mele had to believe that, even if xan did not. he had come to terms with his fate, but that didn't mean mele had to. even if he was trying to make her see things the way he was. she refused to. ❛ ❛ our lives, our paths, are forever entwined. from the second you walked into that tavern. ❜ ❜ eyes never leave him, daring again to touch him for just a brief moment. ❛ ❛ and this is not how it ends. ❜ ❜
