[ he hasn't seen him around, but he's seen the scroll, and just that's been enough to put Lea on edge all weekend. It was one thing for Xion and Naminé to be from the past (the how still escapes him, but it wouldn't be the first instance of time travel he witnessed), but... Isa... Saïx...
Which is why, on Monday, he decides that if the man won't come to him, he'll simply have to find him himself. There aren't that many places for him to hide, and this isn't Lea's first time tracking someone who didn't want to be found.
The armoury isn't quite where he expected to find him, and the thought makes him frown for a second. He makes sure to lean against the door before he announces his presence, barring any potential escape. ]
Hey, Isa.
[ ... of course, with all that said and done, Lea has no idea what to say. If he hasn't come after him yet, then Isa's at least not from when he was trying to hunt him down-- but then what? Back in their regular Organization days? Later?
he probably should've thought this through a little more ]
[ yeah, saix isn't an idiot. well, he is an idiot, but not when it comes to making observations. so, naturally, he's spent the first while making observations -- silently taking note of everything, seeing where he stands. he saw lea, of course, but far be it from saix to actually fucking talk to him like a normal person. like, without making fun of him or expositioning. not a fucking chance. ]
Lea.
[ what's up boo. he was just looking at weapons, since he's carrying a giant fucking banana. ]
Shouldn't you be out with your friends?
[ for once, he's not bitter. still an asshole, though!! ]
[ he has to heave a long sigh to stop himself from reflexively getting annoyed at that, even though. he is still mildly annoyed at it. he didn't really miss this! it turns out! ]
I kinda am already. [ it's an almost gentle rebuttal, but he does follow it up with: ] Even if he is currently kind of a pain in my neck.
[ why couldn't he get annoyed!!! what the fuck, lea!!!! that's not the reaction he expected, and it visibly takes him aback for 0.1 of a second. or maybe it's the hint of a feeling. ]
[ mystery. ]
You're bringing me back, are you? [ that should clue lea into his timeline, at least. ] Your plans might have to wait.
[ saix's plans of dying are also currently on hold. ]
[ that's what you get for being behind him in the timeline, bitch!!! which also oh thank god it's the most recent saix. like. it's still bad? but it could be so much fucking worse. ]
Maybe. But yours will have to, too.
[ he keeps it vague so he will never know if lea means xehanort's master war plan or the secret traitor plans, because having one over isa is very satisfying and he is feeling kinda petty ]

[ mystery. ]
You're bringing me back, are you? [ that should clue lea into his timeline, at least. ] Your plans might have to wait.
[ saix's plans of dying are also currently on hold. ]

You been skulkin' in the shadows this whole time?
no subject
I'll have to adjust.
[ something about the way lea says that doesn't sit right with him..... it's giving him a weird feeling. ]
Something like that. You've been getting acquainted with everyone, on the other hand.
[ don't be that stalky ex, saix. :/ ]
no subject
What, you been keeping tabs on me?
[ he's not sure how to feel about that. ]
no subject
[ (yes) ]
I assume you've also been trying to gather information.
[ w/o creeping. ]
no subject
[ he'd make a jab about talking to people like a normal person but he is not opening himself up to a I'm Not A Person I'm A Nobody comment ]
Not that there's a lot of info to gather so far.
no subject
Find anything of interest so far?
[ he doubts it, but he figures he may as well ask. ]
no subject
[ there is absolutely nothing of interest there, but. he did know it in advance. so. ]
An' that you can talk to Lune an' Sol by sending off one of those boat things with an offering. I think they're more likely to talk one on one.
no subject
I haven't spoken with them yet. [ obviously. ] Do they have preferred offerings?
no subject
[ give him?? a break?? ]
They take pretty much anything, but they probably won't like it if it's total garbage.
no subject
[ but good to know. ]
no subject
[ god, okay, he is WORKING on not being bitter, but it's HARD, why can't you be wearing a TRACKSUIT ]
no subject
[ saix hesitates a bit, and then. ]
Be careful of Xion. She may not be the same as you remember.
[ time for lea to stare at the camera like he's on the office. ]
no subject
[ it's reflexive, and it's angry, and-- god. why her, still? ]
I don't listen to you anymore. Remember? And I definitely don't listen to you about my friends.
[ even when those include the asshole he is currently speaking to. it's fine. ]
no subject
[ he's had one (but only one) character development, it's not about jealousy anymore. ]
[ on one hand, being a secretive douche.... on the other. hm. ]
Xehanort has plans for her. Tread lightly.
[ there we go, acceptable levels of cryptic douchebag. ]
no subject
[ this is terrible because he knows. the truth. he just wishes saix would come out and say it. ]
no subject
[ is this close enough. ]
no subject
[ she would literally get down on her knees and grab a laser to save him, not that saix knows that. stupid isa. ]
no subject
.... Don't let your guard down, Lea.
[ but lea's going to be stubborn as always so saix will have keep an eye on her. ]
no subject
[ lea is absolutely going to be stubborn, forever. ]
no subject
Suit yourself.
[ there's a 'don't say i didn't warn you' kind of tone in there. ]
