Twenty-Fourth Keychain-[Accidental Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

[so, nobody's really seen Roxas for the past few days/week because he's been hiding out at the lake. Today the blond boy has his feet in the water and he's laying on his back, reading a copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and actually relaxing. Or day-dreaming, whichever. Next to him is a small fox who's busy trying to catch a fish, so Roxas is gonna talk to him anyway]

If Alice fell down the rabbit hole, and I fell down the barrier into the forest...and if Alice saw a bunch of weird whimsical things that never existed in her own world, and I'm meeting people and seeing things I've never seen before...and the Queen was trying to more or less torture Alice in her kingdom, and the Malnosso are terrorizing us in their own world...does that make Luceti my own Wonderland?

Kind of messed up, isn't it?

[The fox voices his agreement and Roxas sighs, going back to reading the book instead. Feel free to bother him, really]

[flaring]

But what?

[Action]

[perplexme]

[shakes his head] Nothing.

[Action]

[flaring]

All right, fine.

[Action]

[perplexme]

[mumbles] I wanted you to pay attention to me for a while without it being because you're worried.

[Action]

[flaring]

I am paying attention to you, and not because I'm worried.

[Action]

[perplexme]

I don't know how to explain it. Never mind, you're right, you are.

All of the Nobodies we commanded would be the playing cards.

[Action]

[flaring]

Try to explain.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Dunno how. It's fine, it's just me being weird.

[Action]

[flaring]

Maybe it's both us being weird.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Why though? We shouldn't be still at the weird stage.

[Action]

[flaring]

Eh, who knows.

[Action]

[perplexme]

[still playing with Axel's fingers] We're still best friends, right?

[Action]

[flaring]

[noticing now]

Always.

[Action]

[perplexme]

[letting his mind wander so he's just going to keep on doing what he's doing] Always is a really strong word to use.

[Action]

[flaring]

Maybe, but it fits.

[Action]

[perplexme]

[stops moving his hand so he's more or less just holding a few of Axel's fingers] Always...forever...do you really think they mean anything?

[Action]

[flaring]

For a Nobody? Hard to say.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Then how do you know it fits for you and me?

[Action]

[flaring]

...I guess I don't? But I'd like to think it does.

[Action]

[perplexme]

[shifts a bit, but he's not making any moves to go away] I think it's a good word though. Think about it...we always end up seeing each other again.

[Action]

[flaring]

We made a promise to.

[Action]

[perplexme]

And promises are....[waits for Axel to finish the sentence]

[Action]

[flaring]

Never broken.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Close enough. [brb trying to be subtle and cuddle]

[Action]

[flaring]

[a little amused here]
