Twenty-Second Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[After about 11 days, the Malnosso finally decided to return Roxas back to the village. He's walking pretty slowly with an almost-limp, the usual cuts and bruises from kidnapping on him and few feathers missing from his wings, but the most noticeable mark is the bleeding gash on the left side of his chest soaking through his shirt. He gets about as far as outside building two before he has to stop moving and hits the ground]

[was just chilling out on the roof like he has been the last almost two weeks, however this time something feels off. he gets up from his spot and walks out to the edge of the roof, glancing down just as Roxas hits the ground. it takes a few moments for his brain to catch up with what he just saw, and it takes only about 10 seconds for Axel to scale down the building lol video game character]

Roxas!

[perplexme]

(looks up at Axel and blinks a bit to focus) Axel?

[flaring]

[WHAT DO I DO. DX just like standing there in disbelief staring at him]

[Hey 'sup it's a Xigbar. He may or may not have been lurking nearby for the last couple of days. But he's gonna say 'told you so'. Not yet anyway.]

[flaring]

[a little preoccupied at the moment, so probably wont be noticing Xigbar's presence for a long time]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[No problem~. He can be patient.]

[perplexme]

[sitting up and looking at him, but not really saying anything]

[flaring]

Hey.

[perplexme]

Hey. [starts working on getting to his feet]

[flaring]

[grabs Roxas' right arm to help him up]

[perplexme]

[gets to his feet and looks up at Axel again]

[flaring]

...think you can make it inside?

[perplexme]

I'm fine. [Axel might notice the bleeding on his chest has slowed to a pretty-much stop and some of his bruises have faded because of Rinoa's Cure spell]

[flaring]

Right.

[perplexme]

...I'm sorry.

[flaring]

And just what are you sorry for?

[perplexme]

I wasn't paying attention. And if I was, they wouldn't have got to me.

[flaring]

Don't think you could've stopped 'em, Roxas.

[perplexme]

I had the Keyblades though.

[flaring]

Just—don't worry about that right now.

[perplexme]

But they got away with it.

[flaring]

They always do.

[perplexme]

I could have stopped them.

[flaring]

Roxas.

[perplexme]

...Sora could have. Sora would have, I bet.
