Ax had been making an effort to keep an eye on Marco and Rachel now that they'd both been let out of Quarantine. Unfortunately, his various duties and responsibilities made that difficult, especially since they never seemed to stay together outside of when they were at Cassie's house.
He poked his head into the Media Library, hoping to find at least one of them in here.
< Hello Marco, > Ax said, looking the younger human over himself. Marco looked around the age he'd been when he and Ax had first met, he realized with a sinking feeling. He was going to forget meeting Ax entirely, and then forget about the war. Keeping track of him when he wasn't paranoid might be easier, but that also meant that Iniss in his cloned body would have an easier time keeping track of him too.
< Enjoying yourself? > he asked to prevent the silence from becoming awkward.
Ax blinked at Marco for a moment, somewhat taken aback.
< Usually, yes, > he replied. < You don't remember me? > That meant that he was going to forget the war entirely soon -- the Animorphs hadn't been fighting for very long before they'd found Ax. And he had no idea how Marco and Rachel would react to him once they'd forgotten that. < My name is Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill. I'm Elfangor's younger brother. >
< Yes, Elfangor's younger brother. > Ax wondered if that was still going to be how he was known after the war. He certainly couldn't ask Marco that now. < Because I was only an aristh, I wasn't allowed to join in the battle. But after the Dome ship -- the Andalite carrier ship, essentially -- was destroyed, the part that I was in crashed into the ocean, where you and the other Animorphs found me. >
