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 ]
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.
... 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?
I don't want you guys having to worry about me. There's a chance one of us might get attacked again, so you're right that I'll need to learn to defend myself. I can't expect someone to jump in and save me every time.

[ 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.

[ he finally settles to sit on the ground ]

... 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?

[ 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?
no subject
No, I'll practice. I'll be a liability if I don't.
no subject
That's not... [ he frowns a bit ] That's not really the sentiment, here. [ he seems at a loss for words, for once. ]
no subject
[ she sighs ]

Right. So here's the deal: we're gonna try an' make you learn how to grow weeds.
[ axel. that jokes bad. ]
no subject
but it makes her smile. ]
I think I can manage that.
no subject
[ call out post to himself, it's fine. ]
no subject
... does she know? That Sol is probably Roxas?
no subject
I haven't told her yet. I don't wanna get her hopes up, y'know?
[ or for her to feel bad she yelled at him, but both of those are bad reasons to keep aNOTHER secret from Xion. ]
no subject
[ it's said softly. ]
I understand wanting to wait until you're a little more certain, but don't wait too long.
no subject
... Yeah, I know. I'll tell her before she finds out on her own. [ a beat ] And maybe before she picks another fight with him.
[ she's gonna feel like real doodoo about it ]
no subject
[ their first instinct is to hit the problem away ]
no subject
[ sure blame the organization axel ]
no subject
[ she's looking straight at him ]
no subject
[ he didn't give his kids the shitty temper he gave them the anxiety, wow ]
