Twenty-Fourth Keychain-[Accidental Voice/Action]

[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]

[Roxas gets up and waves back, closing his journal and walking over with that and the copy of Alice in his hand] That was quick.

Indeed. I live not far from here.

That would explain it then. [he hands Martel the book then] And there you go, as promised. I think you'll really like it.

You do? It must truly be good, then, for you and I are near strangers.

It's one of those classics that's pretty well-liked by everybody who's read it. More or less, if you like fantasy stories and adventure stories, you'll like it.

[I think he gave it to her? -lazy mun won't check- If so, she's thumbing through it now, a casual sort of glancing down at the oages. After a moment, her brow furrows.]

I've not read a book in... quite a long time.

[She closes it, smiling up at him now.]

I'll try not to keep it long.

[yesyes he did so no worries~] Yeah...? Reading's a good thing to do while we're here. Keep it as long as you want, I don't mind.

Were it not for reading my journal, I'd be rather out of practice. I scarcely had time for books, even in my first life.

[She's looking over the cover now.]

It's quite a pretty book.

Your first life...what was it like? [you've tapped into his interests Martel, hope you don't mind playing 20 questions :|b]

It is. The illustrations are really quite nice.

My first life... Well, I suppose this has all been one life, technically, but... In my first life, I was mortal. A mere half-elf, until I died.

A Half-Elf?

Indeed. One parent of human blood, one of elven. Both my brother and I were half-elves. When I lived my first life, they were... not quite welcomed into society.

Why not?

I'm not quite sure. Half-elves are more powerful than humans, which caused fear, and were 'tainted' in the eyes of the elves. Neither race were fond of us.

...you weren't murdered, were you?

...I was.

...that's depressing.

But you're alive again.

I am. My brother sealed me to a seed from the life-giving tree. When the seed germinated four thousand years later, I was reborn as its guardian.

So you're the guardian of a tree?

...In essence.

That's actually pretty cool...

I prefer the mortality I've received here in Luceti.

Why though? Because of the people you know?

In Aselia, I was... a force. I saw all, felt all, was all. Here, I'm a person.

I think I know what you mean. It's one of the only good parts about being here.
