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

So you trust Shess, too?

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

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

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

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

Hey, everyone's got their favorite.

Lune's a good favorite to have.

But I'm yours right?

[ mock considers for a while ]

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

Not funny! [Appreciate him!!]

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

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

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

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.

[ 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.

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.

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? ]

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.

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.

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.

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.
