[ axel sure fucking doesn't wanna. please. be realistic ]

Yeah, I know. I didn't tell her, either. [ and had to really scramble to explain why he nearly died when she told him she'd told sol, but let's not go there ]

[cyclists]

[Kill them both.]

But did she tell you the rest of what she was supposed to?

[leaberator]

Yeah. How many people are you guys gonna subject to Hisoka, man.

[ but yes he got. the role talk. ]

[cyclists]

That one wasn't my fault! [Huff. But...] Well, kinda. Lune picked Hisoka and I picked Emma.

[leaberator]

Well, yours wasn't too bad a pick.[ he says, like they're not talking about his ??? ] But thanks. I don't think she'd have ever told me if it wasn't for you pushing her into it.

[ aaaand neither would he have, haha. ]

[cyclists]

She's actually really nice even if she gets stressed out kinda easily. I thought you could both use the extra help since I picked both of you for different things, and she doesn't always talk to people either.

[i.e. Emma needed friends to trust more and Axel wanted extra answers so Roxas managed to do both. Be proud of him.]

[leaberator]

I talk to people plenty.

[ is he joking. ]

But thanks. I don't think either of us would've said anything if you didn't push her.

[cyclists]

I know you do. [There's a difference between talking and actually sharing though and he knows that.] But it made sense. Annnd I was kind of hoping you'd tell her about your role in all of this, too, so that's good.

[leaberator]

I figured as much if you sent her to talk about roles with me, man. [ he's secretive, not stupid? wow ]

[cyclists]

Just because she shared hers...

[He knows how Axel operates, don't wow me.]

[leaberator]

[ ....... ]

I told Shess, too?

[ like. to...day. ]

[cyclists]

Wait really? Is that why he asked me about the food during the trial?

[leaberator]

Well... Yes and no. I hinted that it might happen, but I only told him outright it was me after trial.

[ he has the decency to look a Little sheepish ]

[cyclists]

I guess it still counts. [But he sighs.]

So you trust Shess, too?

[leaberator]

[ ... the question gives him pause and he. shrugs ]

Yeah, I guess so. We've been sharing info this whole time.

[cyclists]

I knew I was right then. He mostly talks to Lune though.

[leaberator]

[ probably because lune seems like he knows more, but axel does not ... say that ]

Hey, everyone's got their favorite.

1/2

[cyclists]

Lune's a good favorite to have.

2/2

[cyclists]

But I'm yours right?

[leaberator]

[ mock considers for a while ]

We-e-e-e-ell.... Hmmmmm... Let me think...

[cyclists]

Not funny! [Appreciate him!!]

I've been trying to be more like him anyway.

[leaberator]

[ he blinks, a little, distracted from his bullying ]

Why? There's nothing wrong with the way you are.

[cyclists]

No, I know. [And he sounds like he actually does know so there's that.] But if we're going to get out of here I think I need to figure out other ways to help everyone.

[Instead of, like, picking fights.] Lune's better at knowing what to say and how to guide people. I'm still trying to figure it out and we're losing time.

[leaberator]

[ so long? as? he knows? ]

Aw, c'mon. We've been doing.... decent. [ that is all. he is willing to give everyone. ] But maybe it'll make things easier on you if you try an' emulate Lune a little bit.

[ just on the. yelling front. ]

An' since you asked-- yeah, you're my favorite, dummy.

[cyclists]

I get the feeling Lune is telling people to be nicer to me because people have been a little nicer. [Which is funny.] But I will. The longer we're here the easier it is to talk to people and get them to trust me and give them the answers they need.

[But he grins anyway because he likes being a favorite.] Good to know though.
