[vacationisalie]

It's almost been a month.

[If anything, he sounds- happy, quietly amazed when he speaks. Roxas hasn't exactly been the most social of the lot, but there's been reasons. It's hard to make friends when you're stuck thinking, at any second-]

I'm still me.

[Silence, then a soft, breathy laugh and Roxas switches the SFC off.]

Well it's a good thing, otherwise I'd think there was an intruder in the apartment.

[video]

[vacationisalie]

You know what I mean, Axel.

It just seems...weird. I keep thinking I'm gonna-

[video; smack him upside the head in 3...2...]

[got_it_memorizd]

Gonna turn green and grow an extra pair of arms, I know, I have the same concerns. But sometimes you just have to say screw the risks and live life on the edge.

Re: [video; smack him upside the head in 3...2...]

[vacationisalie]

[The name may change but the personality is clearly theirs to own.]

Yeah...Lea said something like that, too.

Hey Axel- you'd know where to get ice cream, right? Where's the best place?

[video]

[got_it_memorizd]

Well, I guess great minds really do think alike. Especially when they're... [Pause. Nah, we won't acknowledge that Lea has to be fledgling awesome since he becomes so very awesome. We'll just leave it open for inference.] Well, I hear red hair is a sign of heightened intelligence, anyway.

Best place? You mean besides from the freezer to the couch? Well, Ven's got a-- Oh. Have you met Ven yet?

Re: [video]

[vacationisalie]

[The same person? Yeah, he picks that part up. But Axel seems awkward enough about it, so the words go unsaid for now. Even if Roxas is glad that Axel has one too.] Because it stands out, right? Just like in a sunset.

Ven? No- who's Ven?

[got_it_memorizd]

[He taps his crown with a laugh.] And travels the furthest. [Yeah, you have no idea the distance he was willing to go, Roxas, so just... smile and nod.]

You should meet him, I think you'd find you have a lot in common. [Like a face. And a voice. And at least 1/3 of a heart, so far as he can tell. Or something.] Tell you what, I'll take you and Xion to his ice cream shop. Free tomorrow?

[video]

[vacationisalie]

[Those undertones he doesn't pick up, luckily. Otherwise there'd be a few face to face talks with some awkward as a side dish.] Yeah, I know.

I guess so. [He has no idea, but if Axel says so-] I think I should be free tomorrow- day off, you know? You sure you won't be sleeping?

[We all know how much you like your sleep, after all.]

[video]

[got_it_memorizd]

[He looks thoughtful a moment.]

Well, it's not like it'll take all day. I can just nap late. Jeez, the things I do for you guys.

[video]

[vacationisalie]

Its worth it for ice cream, right? [And maybe finding a tall building, heading up to the top and-]

[video]

[got_it_memorizd]

There are very few things I wouldn't do for the sake of ice cream, it's true. All right, tomorrow then.

By the way, what do you want for dinner? It's my night to cook. And by cook I mean get takeout so I don't burn the whole damn building down.

[video]

[vacationisalie]

Tomorrow. [More excited than he lets on, man. Though he may be showing it quite a bit, as well.]

Oh- dinner? Your choice; I don't really mind.

[A small pause. Look Axel, he's trying to tease!]

As long as it isn't charcoal.

[video]

[got_it_memorizd]

Har har, now I'm gonna set your dinner on fire just to spite you.
