Meanwhile, Isa's here looking for some sort of pleasure reading. Might as well use the library, and it means he doesn't have to leave the apartment for awhile. That's nice. So, if Zexion looks up, right in plain view is a certain boy who might be familiar. Well, at least he looks like Saix. But he's shorter, younger, lacking a scar, ears and he has green eyes...

"Wonder what's interesting..." he mutters to himself, dragging fingers over spines of books. Something will eventually catch his interest, he hopes. Otherwise, it's a completely useless trip out here.

yes indeedy

[sechstel]

The presence of another combined with a somewhat familiar voice pulled Zexion from his brooding to look toward the source of it. Seeing the boy, he almost dismissed him as anyone of import, key word there being almost. Whether it was the hair or the face, even sans scar which drew his attention, the resemblance to Saix was rather uncanny. Getting up from his seat Zexion headed toward the boy silently.

"What sort of things interest you? I might be able to help you find something of worth to read." he offered as he drew closer to Isa.

[beforemoonfall]

Isa almost jumps when someone speaks to him. He hadn't been paying attention, really, so anyone else here had escaped his notice. He blinks a bit before turning back to the books. A hand scratches at the back of his neck.

"I'm the kind of person who'll try anything. So... I'll take any suggestions at this point," he says rather sheepishly. He can't help but keep looking over at Zexion, though, because... He kinda looks familiar. Like a kid he saw running around back home every now and then.

are you any good at anagrams isa? x3

[sechstel]

"Ah, we should be able to find something thing which might interest you." Zexion replied pulling his gaze off the boy and onto the books around them, once more scanning the titles.

While keeping his eyes on the books, he spoke once more, almost deceptively casual in manner. "My name is Zexion, might I have yours, young man?"

[limitless_land]

He'd been having quite the grand old time ignoring the library for the most part and favoring training in the forest instead but, well... with recovering from the last battle it wasn't likely to occur just yet. So instead he finds himself wandering around the shelves--whether it be for locating something that would give any information to this place or just a bit of light reading, no one besides him would know. ...Then he picked up that particular stench; a Nobody. But not just any Nobody, no... it had to be the one who had tried to once destroy him in an illusion of light disguised as Sora.

But knowing what little he did... Just how much did he know about their own worlds? Riku smirked under that curtain of hair, and didn't even turn towards Zexion when he spoke--pretending instead to be still looking at the books on the shelves. "...I was wondering when you'd be pulled here, Zexion."

[sechstel]

Well hell, out of all the places he might have expected to run into the boy, he really hadn't thought it would be here. Foolish perhaps in retrospect, but he couldn't very well keep himself shut up in his apartment. Keeping Axel's words in mind as he located the pale-headed boy, he was quite ready to leave on a moments notice should he make a move toward him. He kept the wariness out of his face or body language for now, no need to give any hint of that.

"Oh? Are you privy then as to just what draws one here, Riku?"

[limitless_land]

There was an amused smirk crossing his lips at the question posed as he pulled a book off the shelf in front of him, flipping it open to a page. Hilarious, he thought, to think that he would locate him here. How ironic.

"As of yet no one knows," he replied cryptically, "-outside of our captors, or hosts, if you prefer calling them that." He kept his tone neutral; cloaked in the darkness he wielded and disguising the pure loathing he had for this place. "I merely meant with how many from the Organization that have appeared so far... it was only a matter of time before you were pulled here as well."

...He'd been paying far too much attention after the incident with Larxene.

[sechstel]

He'd noticed the abundance of members here himself, it was one of the reasons why he was still seeking answers to the reason they were here.

"You have a point there and until I find otherwise, I do believe I'll use the term, captors. This may be a nice place and the people charming, but a cage is still a cage, even if its gilded."

[dystopiadreams]

Selphie? Selphie just didn't have a clue where she was. She'd started her exploration of the place, and had happened upon this building. Obviously, as soon as she entered she realised she was in a library - she's not stupid, contrary to popular belief.

Quitely, and very conspicuously, Selphie tiptoed around the library. She knew people hated to be disturbed and since she just arrived her, she figured it was best to be good.

But then - there was someone sitting with *blue* hair. First guys with red eyes, now blue hair. This place sure was colourful. Deciding that the poor guy looked a bit fed up, Selphie plonked herself in the chair directly opposite his. Leaning forward, she whispered a small, "Hi!"

[sechstel]

The greeting pulled Zexion from his thoughts and he turned eyes that were just as blue as his hair to look at the girl. "Hello. Do you need something?"

[dystopiadreams]

Selphie smiled towards him, sitting up in her chair and resting her hands on her knees. "Nope!"

Having realised she spoke too loud, she leaned forward again, being sure to speak in a whisper, "I just thought I'd say hi. You looked bored. And lonely. Also, I really like your hair."

[sechstel]

God the girl was perky, she almost made him think of Demyx.

"I see. Thank you." He paused for a moment and decided he might as well introduce himself, it was the polite thing to do when meeting someone new. "My name is Zexion."

[ninthserenade]

Libraries. It always had to be libraries that he wandered into and got lost in. It's like that Twilight Zone segment where the guy is stuck in a library. He didn't even read--well, more like he couldn't read. He could, just... Not very well. It did take him over a year to get through the first half of Dracula, after all.

Eventually, he pulls a random book off the shelf and studies the cover, unaware of the other Nobody nearby.

"Pen...hen-o-men... ogy of Mind?"

[sechstel]

Your butchering of the word has gained you company, Demyx. "Phenomenology." He corrected, giving the book that Demyx held a curious look.

"Likely it's a book on psychology and empathy or the emotions one feels about certain events or people." He extended a hand toward the book in question, "Mind if I have a look at it?"

[ninthserenade]

"Phenomenology. Right." He willingly hands it over, shaking his hands free of the unsettling weight of book-ness, "Knock yourself out. I probably couldn't get past the first couple pages anyways."

She was trying to find a book to read when she couldn't help but to stare in surprise at a very familiar figure. She was still somewhat weak, so she was slightly pale but she feeling mostly back to her usual self. As she saw him, she couldn't help but to smirk and cross her arms.

"Well well well if it isn't Zexion."
