[When the Sphere flicks on, it's with a purpose. Lowering his arm and taking a step back is a familiar-yet-maybe-not man, sharp blue eyes clouded and troubled, though his expression gives nothing else away
( Read more... )
[he's already heard part of the conversation between Riku and him, enough to know the similarities present. honestly, he's not sure how much he cares for having another version of Roxas present, but...]
[he's got such wide, wide eyes for you Axel. He actually starts, before recalling that this might not even be the Axel he knows. He remains quiet for a moment, expression unreadable]
[He regards him thoughtfully for a long, quiet moment, seeming to really take him in for the first time.]
... nothing. You're not my friend. I don't even know when you're from. The Axel that I know now .. I'd call him a friend, yeah. I care about him. What he'd call me is up to him. As for you? ... [shrug] That's for you to decide.
[it takes a moment for that statement to fully sink in. his expression goes completely blank. after a moment, he actually lifts a hand to his mouth and lets his gaze fall.]
... years ago. That was ..
[and abruptly he's very guarded, hand dropping and shoulders tensing as he looks at Axel .. a little differently.]
Depends on where you're from. [folds his arms and leans back, getting comfortable against a wall in Riku's shelter. he's near what you could call his 'room' despite it not being blocked off from the rest of the area]
Maybe Sora. He's a few years into the war. Namine... [shrugs] Never asked her.
.... Riku told me that the last time I was here, I was twenty. And Sora was -- is -- the same age. I'm .. twenty three now.
[he takes a deep breath and lets it out slow] So it's you, me, Riku, Naminé, Sora .. and that's it? Naminé looks .. I don't think she's from my time.
[abruptly he smiles, but it's an empty, sad kind of thing] I know what happens to you. All of you. But .. if I was here before, I didn't remember it on going back. So .. it wouldn't change anything for you guys to know, would it?

Had one. Ripped it out when I was sixteen. I'm guessing you have yours, which would make you the Axel that I know.

What's your claim?

Not a bad answer. [his eyes flicker up and down, taking in the full sight of him]
Nice to see you've grown up nicely.

[lifts a brow, briefly looking down at himself, then back up the Sphere. ..... shrug.] I guess. It got better after I found Sora.
When ARE you from, anyway?

Riku. When is he from? Do you .. do you know him?

[watches him with a bored, lazy expression, but there's a sharpness to his eyes that says otherwise] Why so curious?

Is there .. anyone else here from my time? Or am I .. from the future, for all of you? Who else is here, anyway?
