Fifty-Second Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[perplex_me]

[Roxas has spent the last few weeks doing a great impression of a chameleon, blending in with his surroundings and making sure not many people saw or heard from him. But he's come to find that he can't keep hiding, and he can't keep running

[Axel was on his way back to the house when he passes the tree Roxas is leaning against. He stops, pausing for a few moments before glances back at Roxas there. He's surprised to see him, but he's also mostly annoyed it's taken Roxas this long to come back. And Axel's not afraid to make the fact he's annoyed be known.]

Just visiting or are you finally coming back?

[flared]

...guess there is none!

[perplex_me]

That's a lie. I can tell. So...what is it?

[flared]

Just be thankful he found me instead of her.

[perplex_me]

I wish he hadn't found either of you.

[flared]

What'd you think he was going to do?

[perplex_me]

I thought he was going to take a lot longer to come up with something, and then I could have stopped him.

[flared]

I think you're underestimating this guy because of who he looks like.

[perplex_me]

Either that or I'm overestimating how much time I have. Maybe both.

[flared]

Maybe. But either way, whatever this guy is it isn't normal.

[perplex_me]

And we're still no closer to actually figuring out what he is. That's what really bugs me about all of this. [You know, beyond the whole "he's going around targeting my bffs" thing.]

[flared]

[A beat.]

So. You coming home or not?

[perplex_me]

[A quick nod.] Yeah. Definitely.

[flared]

Then what are you doing standing out here for?

[perplex_me]

I guess I was just thinking, that's all.

[flared]

I'll drag you back in if I have to.
