Axel. We need to talk.

Where should we meet?

[nobodyviii]

Someone sounds eager. How was the mission?

voice and private from now on

[biggestnobody]

Just goal-oriented. And I'm sure you've heard the other reports.

Don't derail the conversation.

[nobodyviii]

Sounds serious.

An appropriate place depends on the goal, right? Based on this security, you're looking for someplace we won't be overheard, I assume.

[biggestnobody]

Or seen. I'm not risking it. Are you?

You know who that man is.

[nobodyviii]

["Don't be late." Axel was already right next to the place. That's why he thought of it. It allowed Axel some time to gather his thoughts-- and get a head-start on that nice hot water. So he's already there when Riku arrives and appears to be completely not paying attention to the world]

[It takes Riku just about ten minutes to get there, though he makes sure to come in at fifteen minutes on the dot. He folds his clothes into the basket he's provided with and puts it into the cubby before entering. It doesn't take much to recognize all that red hair.

He slips into the water, close enough to speak to, but not close enough to be strange. The heat feels good, at least.]

Asleep?

[nobodyviii]

Nah. [he had heard Riku's approach and now opens one eye to look over at him.] It's tempting though. This was a great idea.

Right to business?

[biggestnobody]

If you can juggle relaxation and talking, go right ahead.

[He sinks into the water, carefully testing the water against his wrist and other bruises. He hisses a little from the sting, but it fades.]

First question. What do you know about Ansem? ... no. His apprentice, Xehanort.
