deep inside of a parallel universe

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larxene is out and about with her daughter as usual, but she seems to be on edge. A bit of tension is obvious in the way she handles herself, occasionally stopping to look around as though she expects to be followed.

When she walks into a living room area and finds that the floor has become the ceiling, she actually jumps a little in surprise.]

Very funny, Xigbar. Come out so I can murder you.

I didn't know your stupidity stooped so low as to not even being able to remember my name, geez. What's sad, is that there are hundreds of copies around too.

[Comes the taunting remark from the vampire who is.. happily standing in the door and not on the.. ceiling, which is now the floor, technically.]

[agh must you sneak up on her like that. D: She whips around to face him.]

I wasn't talking to you, obviously.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Honestly, it you were talking to anyone, it was probably yourself. I wouldn't put it past you.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Buzz off. I don't want to deal with you right now.

[picks up Akane, ready to portal out if it looks like she's about to be lunch again. There's a reason she's started wearing the coat again.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Didn't ask you too. I have just enough right to walk these damned halls as you do, do I not?

[smirking like hell, really.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Really? Because last I checked, you didn't think I had the right.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

I merely meant that since you have no meaning to me as a person, or even a thing, that your rights didn't exist to me and I don't care about them.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Love you too, Axel.

[she doesn't want to turn her back on him, but running away if she doesn't need to would be so embarrassing.]

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Everyone does, they just haven't all realized it yet. So, how's the kid?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Doing just fine. Why?

[Akane's clinging to her mom, disoriented by all this upside-down-ness.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

Don't I have the right to ask? Freedom of speech applies here, right?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Never said you don't.

[argeneaufire.livejournal.com]

No, you didn't. But, you did question me like I was a suspect, something I'm not for once.

[He'll easily slide into the room now--]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[He's not stalking you, really, Larxene, he just tends to gravitate towards people he actually knows around here. No stalking. Really. He's stepping into the living room too, though]

La-- [... Waaait, that is not the floor.] Uh.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[it's okay, given things lately she's a little more comfortable with him around.]

I don't know either.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[well, he smiles faintly and shrugs, walking over to her, though a little cautious because he's still thoroughly disoriented by walking on the ceiling.] Such is life?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

["Daddy!" Akane immediately clings to his leg when he stops, because everything's upside down and she's not totally convinced she won't fall.]

Call him Mint or something, Akane.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[His smile widens a bit at that and he pats her head, because she's adorable, but then Larxene tries to correct her and it registers what she called him.]

Er, I don't mind, I mean. I'm an Axel, and he was too, so... [trails off. derp.] How're you feeling?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[shrugs.]

Meant to ask, how did you manage to hide away for fifteen years?

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

I... Wasn't very good at it, you know, I got attacked a lot, Riku and Saix... But, I dunno, I just found low traffic areas and--[frowns, brow furrowing] Why? Something wrong?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[shakes her head, speaking with false cheer]

Don't worry about it.

[Like that tactic ever works.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

Larxene. Worrying is what I do.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Okay, fine. Let's go somewhere else and then we'll talk.

[Akane seems kind of upset by this room, so if he ever wants her to let go of his leg...]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

All right. [picks Akane up, then, if she'll let go of his leg for him to do that, at least.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[she will, and babble at him as they go]

Our room?
