Questioning the Dream Eaters' intelligence had never even been a thought for Xion. Barkley might not have been able to speak in a way she could understand, but he always seemed to pick up on her moods, and didn't really need any direction from her when they were fighting Nightmares. Unless, of course, he got a little carried away like he just had, but that could happen to anyone.

The important thing was that he was paying attention now, and as a team they went after another group of Nightmares. This one had a few of the bats, so Xion jumped to take on them while Barkley handled Pricklemane on the ground.
