[.001] [Video] + [Text] (Early Morning) - Open to Action for Sigyn's Welcome Hall + Right Outside

[lethechained]

[The video clicks on not to a view of a person, but a window. Outside the window is snow, snow, and more snow... and what appears to be a moving snowman outside. Those with the proper knowledge might recognize it as the snowman from Sigyn's district.]

...Is that supposed to happen? [It comes from off-screen. She does her best to keep sight of the

voice.

[soflattered]

What, you've never seen a walking snowman before?

[ shhh, he knows she hasn't, but he can't resist poking just a little fun. ]

[Voice]

[lethechained]

[Oh.]

[She knows that voice. It's even more startling to hear than it was for her to discover that Ventus, Aqua and Vanitas were in the city, because this one belongs to someone who's supposed to be dead. That's not to say that she's not happy to hear that he isn't, but it's still terribly difficult to believe her ears. Surely there might be someone else who sounds like that...? It would make more sense than him being there live and in the flesh. Something in the back of her mind keeps telling her there's no way it's not him, but perhaps a little more information might help her reconcile that feeling with the facts.]

...You have?

[Her voice is just a bit cautious. It's not really a question so much her attempting to half-poke fun back, since accusing what might be a stranger of being a (supposedly) dead guy she knows strikes even her as a bit awkward.]

[ axel actually likes namine for what she did for him in the castle, what with giving him a good show to kick back and watch. thus, he has no reason at all to be mean or unkind to her. instead, his favor for her lies somewhere in the neutral zone, not knowing about what the future holds for him. ]

Naaaah. But it sounds cool, doesn't it?

[Voice]

[lethechained]

[...Her ears are either very persistent in deceiving her or correct.]

I guess so.

[Pause.]

...Axel?

voice.

[soflattered]

Yyyup!

[ he snickers a little, amused by her seeming confusion. ]

Didn't think I'd be seeing you again so soon, Namine.

[Voice]

[lethechained]

....

[She doesn't seem to share his amusement. It's not much comfort that one in her position might assume that he means he didn't expect her to die quickly.]

I didn't think so, either. [Since she wasn't really sure if there was an afterlife for her if rejoining Kairi didn't go as planned. And... well, who knew what the other goings on might have brought, but she doubted anything would come to fruition in such little time.] But-- Axel... how is this possible? [It's probably a stupid question to ask him, since it'd likely be the gods' doing, but perhaps he has some kind of insight that she doesn't. Good luck with that, Naminé.]
