Axel happened to show up on one of the couches this time, in a lobby of sorts, surrounded by red and rather ambient music. In a way it has a sort of cozy feel, and if anything he should be taking a nap, but the problem with this place is that it always manages to keep him on high alert--awake. There's too many distractions; too many noises and sights clouding his senses and making it near impossible to even look at one spot for a second, and yet here he is, sitting still, one leg over the other with a magazine open and set on his knee. He may look collected, bored, even, but on the inside Axel's practically going insane.
Too much going on. Too much going on.
So. When in doubt: read. Or in this case ignore the articles and just stare at the pictures inside. Hmph. Can't they at least have a decent horoscope magazine around here? There's a sigh as he flips the page and once again comes across rather risque photos. Naked women, naked men, red red red red. This hotel just really loves to rub it in.

When Isa finds himself in a lobby, while it's really hardly any better then the halls in terms of decor, he still finds himself sighing in relief at the larger space. Not to mention no bedrooms, and the sounds of gasps and moans are far off behind him now. Tugging at his jacket, he looks around, hoping for a face that even looks remotely friendly.
For one second, he misses the one other figure here, but that's because his hair blends in so well with the wallpaper. It's the black coat that helps him stand out, like a blotch of ink on paper. It's a relief, that's what it is. Cautious- what sort of people would be in a place like this? - he steps over, approaching from behind the couch. "Hey." Isa's hand settles on the stranger's shoulder, and for a moment, he think how much Lea would like that kind of crazy hair style, would love the attention that sort of thing would bring.
"I need to know the way out. I'm really not supposed to be here."
Axel's busy flipping through the pages again, actually finding some...decent photos, when suddenly he hears footsteps approaching from behind. He's about to look over but the sudden hand on his shoulder causes him to stop...and the voice nearly makes him stop breathing. No. That's not--Is it?
Eyes wide and fingers suddenly still on the page Axel doesn't say anything until a few beats later when he slowly glances over at his shoulder, first to look at the hand--it...really is?--and then follow that hand up to none other than Isa's face. Isa...

Red Flag number one: the awkward pause before he gets an answer. Red Flag number two: the slowness it takes to get that answer. Red Flag number three: he knows his name.
But Isa doesn't know him.
Even though his face doesn't show anything but the same serious look as usual- and perhaps a glimmer of nervousness flashing through his eyes- Isa quickly lets go of the man's shoulder and takes a few steps back. The familiarities to Lea are insane; this guy could be his older brother. But Isa knows he's never met him in all of his life in Radiant Garden.

"How do you know my name?"
