[ she's not really looking for axel, but when she sees him, naminé is just going to immediately close the distance between them. ]

Axel...

[leaberator]

[ he hadn't exactly been looking for namine, either, and he startles a bit when he sees her ]

Naminé. [ for a second he's quiet, nothing but a light frown on his otherwise mostly blank face, before he settles on: ] You okay?

[ it's not the first "death" she's witnessed, but as far as dreams go, he's rather certain they've all had better ones. ]

[whitewalls]

Not well.

[ it'll be am obvious lie, so she settles for the truth. ]

I saw you talking with him at the party.

[leaberator]

[ he can't think of what to say to that first part, so he settles for patting her head a little awkwardly? ]

Yeah. He was a pretty friendly guy.

[ and dumb as a brick probably, but that's not a thing you say about the recently deceased? his frown deepens a bit ]

[whitewalls]

... mm. I wish I talked to him.

[ nothing she can do about that now.

there's a pause. ]

If you're busy, I'll be on my way.

[leaberator]

--I'm not.

[ it's quick, and his eyes are a bit wide when he says it, as if surprised ]

Even if I was, I'm always there if you wanna talk, alright? You don't gotta worry about that.

[whitewalls]

I'm not really sure what to say. We won't even know anything until tomorrow.

[ which still baffles her, since she isn't sure what's the difference between today and then. ]

[leaberator]

Yeah. [ he sighs ] What's the difference between today and tomorrow, anyway? Wouldn't it make more sense to figure it out when it's... more fresh?

[ the. act. not the corpse. oh my god. both? whatever moving on ]

At least now we know for sure this isn't the benign kind of darkness.

[whitewalls]

At first look it would seem like it was just an accident...

[ you know, like he just HAPPENED to get mauled by a wild animal ]

[leaberator]

...But that's not what they implied.

[ god he wishes it was a bear ]

[whitewalls]

... right. They said someone was responsible.

[ she is

assuming it's not the bear then ]

[leaberator]

They said the darkness "used" someone... [ what is this, terra's backstory that lea is not privy to? ] So do they even know they did it?

[ does the bear? know? ]

[whitewalls]

... that'll make things more complicated.

[ somehow it would be easier if a bear just went out there and killed a man ]

[leaberator]

Like this mess isn't complicated enough already...

[ axel has decided he hates murder mysteries? ]

I wonder how we're meant to figure it out tomorrow.

[whitewalls]

They said before that we have to discuss things together. Maybe we're just going... to talk?

[ technically she wasn't wrong ]

[leaberator]

Yeah, maybe.

[ he doesn't sound like he completely believes it which is insane, because she wasn't? wrong? foolish lea ]

Dunno how we're gonna figure it out if all we do is talk.

[whitewalls]

Well... maybe we will know more by then? I assume they might give us more information.

[ TECHNICALLY SHE WASN'T WRONG ]

[leaberator]

I don't expect you to answer all my questions, Naminé. I'm just thinkin' out loud.

[whitewalls]

Right.

[ she'll stop talking.

and then she'll glance away. ]

I'll go.

[leaberator]

[ why is she like this??? he pokes her right on the head ]

Did I say I wanted you to go? [ he hesitates and sighs out a bit, rubbing the back of his neck ] You can if you wanna, obviously, but...

[whitewalls]

You just seem like you're preoccupied.

[ with his thoughts. ]

So I'll leave you alone for now. We don't always have to be together.

[leaberator]

... Yeah. Yeah, I know that.

[ it's embarrassing for her to say it like that... ]

Just... be careful, alright?

[whitewalls]

I will. Don't worry about me.

[ and she'll take her leave ]
