Um. Val's been looking things up? Ye tall, dresses like a vampire?

[ because he is one ]

[compendiem]

Like... fake fangs and a cape?

[ Because that would make him easy to find. Height doesn't really help, with most people being taller than him anyways. ]

[leaberator]

Yeah, he's got a cape.

[ i dont remember if val has fangs im tired ]

[compendiem]

[ In my heart, Val has fangs, so Minato nods slowly and makes a mental note to find Val later. But also he has a concussion, so he will not remember this mental note. ]

[leaberator]

Wait. If you forgot everything, that means you forgot who I am, right? How d'you know I knew Hisoka?

[compendiem]

Familial resemblance.

[leaberator]

...

We're not related.

[ axel's never been so insulted in his life ]

[compendiem]

[ It's not an insult!! Minato loves Hisoka and he loves Axel too ): ]

Oh... I was looking at the profiles. You looked similar. Or... I thought you knew each other from before, having matching hairstyles and stuff. It was cute.

[leaberator]

[ IT'S ONLY BECAUSE HE KNOWS MINATO ISN'T TRYING TO INSULT HIM THAT HE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THIS ]

Well... We didn't. It's all one big coinkidink. My name's Lea. Try and keep it memorized this time?

[compendiem]

Lea... I'll remember it. [ maybe ]

We were friends, right?

[leaberator]

I'd like to think we still are, memory issues or not.

[compendiem]

[ ...He smiles, fond. ]

I'm glad. I've never had one before.

[leaberator]

... Never?

[compendiem]

Never. I don't think so, anyways... I've never known anybody for more than a year. So there was no point.

[leaberator]

Sure there is. Even if the memories fade an' you never see 'em again, your heart'll remember. Friends are connected that way forever.

[ kooky kh friendship aside-- ]

Well, doesn't matter now. You've got plenty of friends now, an' I'm one of 'em.

[compendiem]

[ It's kooky and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but something about that makes Minato smile anyways.

And then Axel says that and Minato goes right back to looking confused. ]

Weird.

[leaberator]

[ he laughs ]

You think having lots of friends is weird? You're a likable guy!

[compendiem]

[ is he though ]

It's weird because I don't have a reason to be friends with anyone.

[leaberator]

Do you have a reason to not be? If you take away the moving thing.

[compendiem]

Hm... Smiling takes a lot of effort.

[leaberator]

[ i wish he didn't laugh at that ]

Good news for you, I'm friends with a real grumpy guy who almost never smiles. I don't think that's ever stopped anyone.

[compendiem]

[ Axel laughs at the worst things ]

I'm not grumpy. I'm just sort of... [ hm ] nothing?

[ He wouldn't want to be friends with somebody like him. At least grumpy people are fun to poke at. ]

[leaberator]

Believe me, you're not boring enough to be nothing.

[compendiem]

...Thanks. I can tell you're not just saying that.

[leaberator]

'Course. I know a lot about nothings.

[ axel don't talk shit about nobodies ]
