* AXEL .
LEA CAN HARDLY CONTAIN HIMSELF: his boredom with his company is entirely evident on an expression unmoving before eyes roll life back into him. why was every eloquent member of a dying organization so deeply tied to theatrics and dramatics? he thinks back to xaldinâs misuse of mushrooms and, regrettably, laughs. much to his companyâs dismay, he imagines. laughing without reason? xaldin knew of no such thing.
â hey, you wonât hear me complaining. it kinda levels the playing field. â
AS IF HEâS IN A MOOD TO PLAY! but xaldinâs admittance gives ease where guard used to be.
â if youâre looking for an exit, thereâs a hole in the middle of town you could jump in to get out of here. â
HIS LYINGâS FAR TOO CALM FOR HIS OWN TASTE, but he fears the upcoming laughter at the thought of xaldin listening to him and jumping will give the truth away. heâs never very good at the duplicitous act, is he?
â saix told me demyx tried it and he hasnât seen him since. maybe youâll have the same luck? i mean, it wouldnât hurt to try. â
and to think axel would take xaldin of all people to be on the mental level of demyx .  (  first off ,  rude . second , laughable .  )  the way he shows his awareness is simply displayed by his arms crossing over his chest and an eyebrow raising as he looks down to the other . really ... he still couldnât fathom the mere fact axel would assume heâd buy into such . while it was a curious thing to see dead center of spirale during his moments of exploration , it was a dead giveaway that nothing good would truly come out of foolishly venturing down the hole within the city .
      â  hmph , to think you would assume i am as gullible as demyx is .  â
did that ... actually manage to gain something more than just a chuckle from the man ? while he was never usually one to share a laugh , what else was he to do if heâs come to learn that he , as well as his ... colleagues , were stranded in such an odd place ? as much as heâd like to leave and tend to more important matters , it doesnât seem like itâll happen anytime soon . so heâll stay his hand for the time being .Â
      â  demyx probably avoided trying such things and went to go find a place to play his blasted instrument .  â
