[At first, there's just the sound of what sounds like... metal being scraped against stone. A blade being sharpened. Then Lea's voice, dark and poisonous- not like him at all, normally.]
[He knows that sound plenty well, and it darkens his face a bit. The sound of Lea's voice only exacerbates the expression.] Kid, don't do anything rash, okay? I know I'm prolly the last person you wanna hear that from--and the last person who's really in a position to tell you not to--but diving into things unprepared just comes back to bite you in the ass later, trust me.
[He'd be looking you right in the eye if you were on a video feed right now.]
Exactly how much do you know about this guy? Oh, right, that he was born from one person. That ain't gonna do you much good in a combat situation, Lea.
Don't be an ass, Lea. If you think Isa or Ventus or anybody here you know would be happy to watch you march off into battle unprepared, you're dumber'n I thought. Whether or not death here affects anything there is irrelevant.
No, I'm callin' you a dumbass, dumbass. Difference is I know when I'm being a dumbass--you clearly haven't learned that yet.
[He folds his arms and glowers.]
Fine, if you wanna run off and get yourself killed, I can't stop you, but if Isa was pissed at me for up and disappearing on him, I can't wait to see how pleased he is with you for not just dying on him, but dying for him. That always goes over well.
[He stares hard into Lea's eyes a moment, then sort of sags and just shakes his head.] I know plenty, kid, and I'm tellin' ya... death ain't all it's cracked up to be.
He's born from just one person. S'all I know.

Not a problem? That doesn't make it any more pleasant, you idiot!
[And... well, now maybe he's finally really said more than he meant to. Shit.]

[Luckily, Axel, Lea is too caught up in his own anger to notice anything. Right now, anyway.]

And if you die, where does that leave them, huh?

You mean normally or in this place?

You sound like you'd know.

[Suspicion isn't the same as hearing it from his own mouth.]

Silence.
And maybe the muffled sound of of choked noises. Just barely audible.]
