“y’know, those kids are still around,” axel comments as he walks, side-by-side, with xion. “seems like they need all the help they can get. i was thinkin’ about helping out.” he tries to keep it under wraps, but he can’t stand seeing kids suffer. it’s one of his little quirks that’s landed him in a hell of a lot of icky situations in the past, but whatever. he’s done with fighting the impulse to at least try to lend a hand.
“seems like the only way to kick this starsickness’ ass is by making some fancy cure. it needs some horns and branches - but that’s small fry stuff. what they really need is a fallen star over at the rubrum hole. so...” he glances over at xion and - despite the gravity of the situation and danger of even getting to the damn thing - smirks.
“...you up for a mission, xion? y’know, just like old times.”
