Huh? [ oh. he rubs the back of his neck ] Yeah, just... haven't been sleeping great. [ he waves it off ] It'll pass. [ probably. eventually. god, he hopes? ]
Ah. That explains a lot. [ he scratches at his face a little ] Truth is, I was asked to check up on ya 'cause someone was worried you wouldn't be able to defend yourself.
You got it. [ axel steps closer, crouching to look at the flowers. ] Sol... just brought it up all of a sudden while we were talking. He totally bought that you were just worried about being a bother, so I didn't want you to think he guilted me into it. I volunteered before he asked.
[ he pauses and when he next speaks, he sounds. wistful and exasperated at the same time ]
... Yeah. But think of how mad he'd be if you got better at it than he ever did? [ and. because that is a pretty lame peptalk and he knows it-- ] Besides, it doesn't have to be just flowers, y'know?

[ she still sounds Concerned, because he very obviously looks like a mess. ]
no subject
Yeah. You don't have to sound so doubtful about it. [ ANYWAY ] I've been meaning to ask-- have you been practicing any, with your earth stuff?
no subject
... yes, a little.
no subject
[ this is a random request ]
no subject
[ this very much is ]
no subject
Yeah? I wanna see what you can do.
no subject
[ she's being put on the spot out of nowhere?? ]
no subject
[ RUDE??? ]
no subject
[ she'll start walking, like she's... inspecting the area.... ]

and then sighs ]
Okay. Ready?
no subject
Yep! Go for it.
no subject
okay, she's going to kneel down and stare at the ground. what is she doing? taking a break?
...... some flowers pop out. ]
no subject
Ah. That explains a lot. [ he scratches at his face a little ] Truth is, I was asked to check up on ya 'cause someone was worried you wouldn't be able to defend yourself.
no subject
she just stares at the flowers. ]
Was it Sol? He's the only one I really talked to about powers, besides you.
no subject
[ he pauses and when he next speaks, he sounds. wistful and exasperated at the same time ]
Hey. Does he seem familiar to you, Naminé?
no subject
naminé picks at some of the petals. ]
A little. Especially when he and Xion were fighting.
no subject
[ he lets out a low laugh ]
It's gonna sound crazy, but I'm pretty sure underneath that hood, that's Roxas. He sounds just like him.
no subject
Their personalities are the same, if you think about it. There's a lot of similarities.
no subject
[ he finally settles to sit on the ground ]
I haven't tried asking him. I figure... he'll tell me when he can, if it is him. [ he looks at naminé ] But Roxas or not, he does have a point. Icky powers or not, you gotta learn how to use 'em in case anything happens.
no subject
... I know. It just would have been better if I had gotten something else.
no subject
... Yeah. But think of how mad he'd be if you got better at it than he ever did? [ and. because that is a pretty lame peptalk and he knows it-- ] Besides, it doesn't have to be just flowers, y'know?
no subject
[ she sighs, and then stands up again. ]
Sorry. I'll try harder.
no subject
You don't have to do it if it makes you miserable. What's your secondary thing?
