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.

[leaberator]

Oh, he's absolutely been doing that. He's real worried people are mean to you.

[ HE SHOULDN'T TATTLE BUT HE THINKS IT'S FUNNY EVEN THO? HE'S SAME? ]

[cyclists]

Seriously? That--[LUNE!!! Roxas just looks embarrassed now, please forgive him.] It's nice of him to worry but I can take care of it myself.

[leaberator]

Ah, c'mon, he's not the only one who was worried about that. Friends look out for each other, right? He was just looking out for ya.

[cyclists]

Yeah, but would either of you really let me do the same if things were the other way around? [Just saying. But...there's a small smile.]

He's just like that anyway. He wants to take care of everyone he thinks could use the help.

[leaberator]

No one's mean to me unless I deserve it, that's not the same.

[ w. what a thing to say. ]

But I wasn't just talkin' about me and Lune. Xion and Naminé were worried, too.

[cyclists]

That really doesn't reassure me, you know. [There's a nod then.] I'm more worried about you guys because I'm not even sure I can die here.
