Edym (Pre-Demyx) / Kingdom Hearts 2-ish / Bar place

[mm_kels]

The figure that comes through is both familiar and not. His clothes are worn from travel and covered with dust, and instead of the SoCal sun-bleached blonde coloring he's middle-eastern dark

The face is right, the body is right, everything is right... Except the colour, which is.

Too dark.

Oh Kingdom Hearts.

Axel isn't staring; he's too good at watching to do that, mostly. But he's still watching.

Because.

[mm_kels]

Edym still notices, and he's getting pretty tired of all the attention. Determined to ignore this one, he takes his sitar off his back and begins checking to see if it needs re-stringing.

[killitwith_fire]

Axel watches him, the familiar finger motions, and--

"What would you do if I told you I knew you were going to die soon?"

He can't help it.

Well, at least that's different than 'you remind me of someone'.

Axel gets ignored until Edym finishes his task - his instrument takes precedence over anyone else, acquaintances and strangers alike.

When done, he looks up to Axel, eyes cold and dark without any recognition in them. But that's to be expected.

"I'd ask if that was a threat."

[killitwith_fire]

"And if I said it wasn't?" he asks.

[mm_kels]

"Are you?"

[killitwith_fire]

"Am I what?"

[mm_kels]

"Telling me that - and further more, why should I believe you?"

[killitwith_fire]

"I am. And you don't have any reason to believe me, because you don't know me," Axel says. "Yet."

[mm_kels]

Edym didn't sigh or roll his eyes, but he did turn back to his sitar. "You're really annoying." he muttered.

[killitwith_fire]

"You don't have to believe me," Axel says, ignoring the fact that he's being mostly ignored. "But it's true. I don't know your name, but it's made up of some combination of the letters D, E, M and Y. Isn't it."

[mm_kels]

"That doesn't really prove anything." Edym murmurs, strumming out a few notes and listening to the quality of the sound. "You could have overheard someone."

[killitwith_fire]

"Who would I have overheard? Tell me," he continues. "Have the Heartless showed up yet?"

[mm_kels]

"I don't see how it's any business of yours." really, can't people take a hint? "But no, considering I've never heard of them before."

[killitwith_fire]

"Shadows with yellow eyes," Axel explains. "You'll know all about them soon enough."

[mm_kels]

"Is there any particular reason you insist on talking at me?" Edym finally asked, looking up at Axel again, a hint of annoyance crossing his otherwise deadpan uncaring features.
