Knowing Vexen meant Xion had some idea of what to expect from Even, so she was fairly nonplussed by his remark the the Pricklemane. The sudden appearances of Nightmares wasn't much of a surprise either, after having been in town long enough to get used to them. She summoned her own Keyblade and went to join Aqua as Barkely leaped upon a Nightmare Meow Wow.

New partners meant having to allow for differences in their fighting styles, though, so she made sure to leave a good amount of room for Aqua and Even to work.
