What—this again? Hey, deities, can you let us know ahead of time when we're going to have guests? I'd have done my shopping earlier if I'd known.

[Roxas sounds more resigned than annoyed. Although he is a little annoyed.]

Sora, Demyx—I'm gonna be late getting groceries for dinner tonight. The streets are really crowded. Again.

[BLANK STARE] Axel and who?

[todomarishi]

[Uh.]

Xion. Your other friend you're always eating ice cream with.

[binarysky]

[Can he possibly get blanker? Apparently.]

No. It was just me and Axel. And then...some other kids, but that didn't...count.

[todomarishi]

[Terra returns his stare at first. Then, a few awkward moments later, he turns his eyes back to the road ahead of them.]

Oh.

[binarysky]

Okay...

[He shakes his head and shakes off the confusion easily. A little too easily.]

Axel's never been in the City, not since I've been here. I wish he had been. Did you meet him in that other world, too?

[todomarishi]

[I'll take Things That Are Concerning for 500 munny, Alex.]

I did. We... didn't much get along with each other.

[binarysky]

[Blame Vexen and his insistence on building an overly complicated memory-sucking replica.]

Oh.

[Not that surprising. Most people had friends, plural, but he and Axel only had each other. And his best friend could be kinda prickly, not even counting his hair.]

But he's...safe, in that other world? He's okay?
