His hand tightened around the railing for support at her explanation. This was crazy! She wasn't psychic, was she? Axel hadn't even come near her until now, hadn't even really considered it until it was his last option. He planned to kidnap her, sure, and he had been on his way to do so, but to say he had already done it? That was flat-out impossible.

He didn't ease up at all when she mentioned Saïx, if anything he put his walls up. That member was a real pain. Speaking of, was he here too? He wouldn't put it above them to sweep the Princess of Heart off her island (right out from under his nose) and put her here, where they thought he either wouldn't find her, or she would never escape.

The last straw was talking about his death. He had been willing to listen, but that last point was cutting it a little too close. "Sorry to disappoint, princess, but if I had died... I wouldn't be standing here. Would I?" His attitude was back and ready to rebuff whatever curve-ball she had to throw at him.

"Sounds to me like you should double-check your sources next time; find someone a little more willing to tell the truth." He wasn't advancing towards her anymore. She could come to him. Either to talk or to give him the cold shoulder.

He made a 'tsk' noise at her previous comment and lifted his hand to cover his heart. "I haven't laid a finger on you." Yet.
