[a Zexion reading in the library is hardly a cause for surprise. Yet a Zexion - and a female one at that - wearing this might. Though it's not the outfit she finds herself in whenever she has to visit Halloween Town, this place doesn't seem to care. One would think the mistress of illusions should be able to do something about this situation.

But if whatever magic that forced her into this would let her, she wouldn't look nearly as irritated.]

Oh bby

[And he's walking by... and can't help but chuckle. His own outfit is merely a cereal box. ...Meaning he has a cardboard box stuck to him. Cheerio's, specifically]

That's quite a daring look for you, Vee-ai [Pronouncing out VI, of course. He'll be damned if he calls someone by a number]

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[a little black kitten Kairi is peeking into the library, because it's the first place she knows to look for--]

Ienzo!

[oh. wait. that's definitely not her Ienzo.]

brb rofl-ing forever

[glances up from her book and arches a brow at Xehanort's "costume."]

It was not exactly my choice.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

You are mistaken, I'm afraid.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[blinks and nods slowly, but approaching her all the same, ears perked forward in interest.]

Uh huh. You're a girl.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

[her gaze is one of quiet study; apparently the "costumes" are not limited to simply clothes.]

Quite observant of you.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[not at all; her dress is a simple black one, and all of that fur is quite real. as is the tail twitching behind her.]

... Are you a Zexion?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

I am.

Just for you.

[terranort.livejournal.com]

[Terranort shrugs and deposits his own book to take a sear near her]

Fair enough, I suppose. [...Damn large cardboard boxes and being hard to sit in]

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

I see yours was as unexpected as well.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[her ears flatten back a little at that, though she expected it.]

D'you have a Heart?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[frowns.]

M'sorry.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

Do not be; it was not due to your actions.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

But you should still have one.

[takes a few steps closer, curious.]

... D'you know how to get one?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

I was working on such a process before I arrived here, but I doubt it would succeed in this place.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

What was it?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

[there's a saying about cats and curiosity, but Zexion is not one to tell anyone what she considers to be her secrets.]

Something involving memories and how they are connected to the heat.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[that doesn't give her a lot to go on, and she makes a little noise like a sigh.]

But... Nobodies can get Hearts, right?

[terranort.livejournal.com]

Well yes, being my breakfast was not my intention. [A pause, and then, with a little mirth] Though your own seems a bit more suited.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

Yes, given the right circumstances.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

[makes a noise of derision at that.]

Hardly. At best it is an inconvenience.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[smiles, ears perked up once again.]

'Kay. Thank you, Miss Zexion.

[terranort.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem to restrict movement that much. [An here, an eyebrow slowly arches] It is a blow to your dignity then?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

May I inquire as to why you asked?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

Something along those lines.

[terranort.livejournal.com]

You're handling the situation better than some others. [Okay if the chair won't accept the box-man... let's sit on the floor and flips open our book]

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[shifts a little, hands held behind her back.]

I want to get my friend his Heart back.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

And who would he be?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

The others assume such a change to be permanent.

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[Zexions are like Ienzos, right? so it's okay if she tells her.]

His name's Axel.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

[you have a lot to learn about Nobodies and their differences from their Others, Kairi.]

Really. Have you told him of your wish?

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

[that she does.]

Uh huh. I told him we'd get him one. I'm gonna help.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

What was his reaction?

[terranort.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. [And a wry little chuckle thing there]

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

He said I could if I wanted, an' he's not sure if he wants one. But, if I get him one, he'll be happy, won't he?

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

It depends on the definition of "happiness." Do you not think it strange that he has not actively searched for a way to regain his heart all this time?

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

... He might've b'fore. I dunno.

[of-illusion.livejournal.com]

But why then would he say he isn't sure he wants one?

[hidesandseeks.livejournal.com]

But he said he thought he did! It's just hard to explain.
