wish away the nightmare

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Having woken up before Riku, his sleep troubled by unpleasant flashbacks of his recent death, Axel got dressed as quietly as he could manage and has wandered (carefully; sore? a little) into the kitchen. He's not sure he could stomach food right now, but he could really use something to drink... Tea sounds tolerable.]

Comments

Of course. I'd love to spend time with you.

[and he smiles as if nothing's happened.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Cool... [Unnerved? A little. Oh well.] What do you like to do for fun?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he thinks for a while before answering.]

I explore and read... or if I'm with one of my friends I do whatever they're doing.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well I don't really do anything fun, have yet to find a reason to, so I'll let you pick.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Reading is more fun by yourself, but exploring is always fun. So let's do that.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Okay, [He moves to stand, and winces.] But first, painkillers.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[Roxas nods and starts to dig around in one of the larger pockets in his cargo pants, emerging with a Potion and a small pillbox.]

Potion, painkillers, both?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Hm. A walking pharmacy.]

Uh, I'll try the potion.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he gets hurt a lot. and the few times he doesn't, his friends does. and he might have a slight case of kleptomania going on.]

Here you go.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[It's okay to be a klepto in a place where supplies are seemingly unlimited.]

Thanks. [He takes it, drinking it and making a face. They taste pretty bad, and burn a little going down... But he does feel a bit better.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he puts the pillbox back into his pocket and closes it, smiling.]

What area are we exploring?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.] Whatever. I know the immediate area pretty well, so...

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Well in that direction [he points dramatically to his right.] there's a cool room filled with strange clothes, and maybe more, similar things. In that direction [points to his left.] there's a lot of rooms that seems to be outside. And that's pretty much all I know.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Sheesh, kid, you really do act like Sora. This'll certainly be an interesting experience for this Axel.]

Hm... Outside sounds nice.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[see? he told you so.]

We can go see how large the beach room is!

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[He smirks.] Sure, sounds good.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[now it's his turn to grab Axel's hand and Roxas hurries to the door, dragging him along.]

I need to map out everything in there so I know where everything is for the beach party.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Axel allows himself to be dragged along.]

A beach party?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for Valentine's Day. Whenever that is.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's coming up soon, isn't it? [He's putting a little more effort into keeping up, so Roxas doesn't have to drag him.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he notices that Axel's falling behind, so he slows down.]

I dunno. I know I'm invited there that day, but I don't know much about holidays.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

They're just an excuse for people to throw parties, as far as I can tell.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

That's good enough for me. I like parties.

[more like, he likes cake and hanging out with people. but that's the same thing, right?]

Gotta go to class, be back later.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[That's basically what a party is.]

Heh, yeah...

See ya!

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[walks slower now, still not letting go of Axel's hand since he sees no reason to.]

It's not very far away.
