Fifty-Ninth Keychain - [Voice]

[perplexme]

Okay...since Axel seems to think it's a bad idea to try and teach the cat to ice skate, let me ask all of you a question. A friend and I are thinking about starting a business. It's something really good, promise.

Think about this. You have an important item but suddenly you can't find it. You think it might have even been stolen. So who would you call? The police, sure, but what about detectives?

[The camera's soon going to get a view of the front cover of a detective novel he picked up from the library.]

Even if it's not something a lot of people would use, I bet at least one person could use a few detectives around here, so I'm volunteering myself and Naoto Shirogane. Need a mystery to be solved? Call us. We all know weird stuff happens around here all the time...just look at last week.

[And with that being said, he's going to wander through KH house to see if Axel's home. He's had a few discussions with the older boy involving another certain bff and a certain redhead replica. And so there's a few minutes' pause before the next bit filters through.]

[Filtered to Luke]

Hey. Axel and I want to talk to you at Fourteen. Come over.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. [But don't be surprised if she gets lost a time or two along the way.]

I'll see you soon!

[perplexme]

[He won't be surprised. He'll just bundle up in warm clothes so he doesn't freeze while waiting.]

See you soon! [And he's shutting the journal so that he can get ready and head out toward the fountain. He'll just be waiting there.]

[lostinmyway]

[Smart boy, Roxas.

When Grune eventually does end up in the plaza, it's almost by accident. She's going to need her memory jogged a little, too.

Still, she greets him cheerfully:] Hello, Roxas!

[perplexme]

[Sadly he's getting kind of used to this, but he's not easily defeated by it. He waves and gets up from the fountain's edge, heading toward her.]

Hey Grune. [He glances around at the snow on the ground.] I didn't realize so much had fallen recently.

[lostinmyway]

[She looks around, too, smiling.]

Yes, isn't it so beautiful?

[perplexme]

That's one way to put it. I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of this...we didn't get snow where I'm from.

[lostinmyway]

Didn't you?

[Neither does she, actually. The Legacy tends to stick to warmer climates.]

[perplexme]

Sora's from an island, and when we were in Never Was it was mostly just rainy and dark.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's too bad. I'm glad it's snowing a lot here, then, so you can have fun!

[perplexme]

I'll have to drag my friends out here to enjoy it with me. What's your favorite thing about the snow, Grune?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, playing outside with my friends, of course!

[That's an easy question!]

[perplexme]

Your housemates actually come out and play with you? [He's got a feeling that dragging Axel out into the cold is not going to be easy.]

[lostinmyway]

Yes, Sophie does, and sometimes Fenimore does too!

[Sophie is three. So yeah.]

[perplexme]

Lucky. I don't think I could convince everybody to come outside with me.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but you never know until you try!

[perplexme]

Trust me, I've tried. Axel's not a huge fan of the cold.

[lostinmyway]

Maybe he just doesn't know how much fun it is. We should show him!

[perplexme]

By what, hitting him with snowballs?

[lostinmyway]

Do you think he would like that?

[If so, she'll definitely help!]

[perplexme]

Probably not, but it'd be funny.

[lostinmyway]

Would it?

[Wouldn't it be a little mean if he didn't like it?]

[perplexme]

Probably not for him, but for the rest of us. He wouldn't stay mad for too long.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but we should do something nice, so he'll want to play outside more. If we make him mad, I don't think he would want to.

[perplexme]

Axel's never really gotten mad at me...not like that, anyway. I don't know if he's capable. Is that strange?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, no, I don't think it's strange at all. He must love you very much.
