[ mock offended: ]

Gee, thanks! Glad to know what you think of me! [ but he laughs immediately after ]

[cyclists]

[It's fine? He's laughing, too, because thank god Axel, like, exists. Thank god his friends exist??

He relaxes a little though not long after that.]

...you'll do okay with it. I'm the one with the really hard job, remember?

[leaberator]

Yeah, but you'll be fine. [ he grins at roxas a bit ] No one else I'd trust with this job more than you.

[ and then, to be an ass, puts a finger on his chin ]

Well, nah. Maybe Riku.

[cyclists]

[An elbow to the ribs.]

Don't even joke about that! [Huff. Riku sucks, etc etc. But...]

...there is one other person who might be better for this job. But you've got me instead. [He doesn't seem to mind that much, stating this so matter-of-factly.] I have some other things to ask the universe later anyway. Maybe they'll answer me and Lune this time.

[leaberator]

[ he knows exactly who roxas means, but he decides to let it go for now. ]

Yeah? What kinda questions have you got for 'em this time?

[cyclists]

I want to ask how we're supposed to get back to you guys on those nights when the village goes dark. If there's a way we can do that or do anything to stop this from happening. And I want to ask some more about the gateways. If I can open corridors to those places, why not others?

And some other stuff.

[leaberator]

You've got it all covered, huh? I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda driving me nuts that I can't get the answers myself.

[cyclists]

You stand a better chance than some people. The universe asked us to pick people for the roles you were given, which means there's a better understanding and a higher chance of getting information.

[Another reason he chose Axel for the Corona.] Lune and I picked ourselves, but we didn't pick what they do or anything like that.

[leaberator]

[ he sighs, over exaggerated ]

I know, I know. Sheesh, can't even let a guy complain a little?

[cyclists]

[...he stops talking and waits.

Well. Go on.]

[leaberator]

[


shoves roxas ]

The moment's already passed, dingus.

[cyclists]

Hey, you asked! [But even jokes aside, he seems to go quiet again.

Axel: stop thinking so much.
Sol: continues to think too much.

...so instead of saying anything, he shoves the ice cream spoon back in his mouth.]

[leaberator]

[ ah, yes. the silence of roxas overthinking. ]

Either you get out of your own head, or you give me five munny and tell me what's on your mind, man.

[ that is not how penny for your thoughts works ]

[cyclists]

[...]

Nothing. I'm just tired. [That's a vague enough answer that also encompasses some truth.]

[leaberator]

[ he sighs a bit ]

... Yeah. Me too.

[cyclists]

Because you're not getting eight naps a day?

[Clearly joking about stuff is the answer.]

[leaberator]

[ does he tell roxas about the nightmares of people dying or hisoka




haha, no ]

Hey, some of us enjoy sleeping like a normal person, so sue me.

[cyclists]

[Bold of you to assume someone (or a few someones) didn't already come and yell at him and blame him for that, too.]

How is that even a normal schedule?

[leaberator]

[ HE DOESN'T HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT AXEL'S!!! ]

They're catnaps.

[cyclists]

[TELL HIM ANYWAY??]

Minato wants to turn me into a cat. Maybe I should tell him to talk to you instead.

[leaberator]

[ BOLD OF YOU TO BELIEVE AXEL WOULD EVER TELL ROXAS HIS PROBLEMS ]

You too? He tried to convince me I should wear cat ears the other day.

[cyclists]

[THIS IS WHY AXEL IS A BAD PARENT.

But uh. Hm. Give him a second before he holds out a hand and materializes a gray cat ear headband.]

Yeah. Me too.

[leaberator]

[


he stars to laugh because minato didn't get that far with him at all ]

You know that means you gotta put it on once you can, right?

[cyclists]

No way! [He will because he told Minato he would but shh.] They didn't stay on the hood anyway, so who knows when that'll be?

[leaberator]

Eventually! C'mon, you really gonna let Minato down like that? He went through all the trouble of making them for you and everything.
