Vexen stiffened at the voice coming from behind him. Even now the sound of Axel's voice, even spoken in such an insignificant manner, provoked a chill through him. Not that he would ever admit to such a thing, supposed heart or no. It gave the other man too much power.

The scientist turned around and waved the other Nobody (person? Vexen wasn't quite sure what it made them, now) in. "Axel. I would prefer you remain silent and still, and we will get through this as quickly as possible," he said in a clipped tone. "The coat needs to come off," he said absently, rifling through what supplies he had managed to salvage from his lab.

Axel laughed a little. "Hey, was just letting you know I was coming in... I coulda just sneaked in, but I figured you'd like that less." The redhead gave Vexen a grin before he shrugged, unzipping his coat.

"You know if you work too fast you might not find anything." He suggested, setting his coat off to the side. He rose an eyebrow at Vexen, rubbing the back of his neck. "You're not going to cut me open are ya?"

"Do not tempt me," the other Nobody replied coolly, before he took the other man's wrist to take a measure of his pulse. A physical thing, true...but the physical effects of this new occurrence were just as important as the emotional ones. It was important to know if they were more vulnerable to death, after all.

"How have you been feeling, VIII?" Vexen asked carefully as he finished his read on the other man's pulse and jotted a few notes down. It was a loaded question for a Nobody. Axel's answer could offer quite a bit of information, if the man took it seriously for once.

And of course, whether he had a heart or not, his nature to mess with Vexen pulled up to the surface. "Oh, you know. The usual. The unexplainable urge to start fires and eat ice cream...sometimes both at the same time." Axel grinned. "How 'bout you tell me how you've been feeling, IV? Not so easy to describe now is it?" the redhead laughed. How could Vexen ask a Nobody how they feel when all they knew was everything they ever 'felt' was a memory of how they used to feel? He shrugged. "Whatever it is that I feel, I'm having a hard time controlling it."
