I thought I would come to check on you, last night was...wild.

I am fine, simply startled. What exactly happened? I wake up to heartless trying to rip off my face and idiotic yelling in the halls...

-Axel had immediately come to check up on Saix. He looked to be doing so much better with that arm of his. He was seated on the bed with his bunny whom was chewing on a rather tasty looking raw carrot that Saix had gone to get from the kitchen while 3 was off where ever. Cotton had to eat too after all. Axel shut Saix's bedroom door and groaned, plopping down in saix's swivel chair.-

You are not going to believe this shit... They let two nutcases into the castle, and one of them was throwing around light balls the size of a fucking boulder Saix! Xemnas was pissed.

So that's what all the commotion was... what about the heartless?

We don't presently know why they attacked yet, but this doesn't seem right. Those two showed up with 2 from what I understand and then everything went to hell, I don't trust them. I don't think anyone does. Its sounding more like Xemnas and Xigbar plan to use them...

Ah, a back up in case something goes wrong with the child, or with acquiring the key bearer, I see. Keep a good eye on them, I should be back on my feet soon and things will be a whole lot easier.

Heh, I'll have that memorized, no need to tell me twice.

-Axel grinned as he saw the bunny nomming her carrot. He had gotten rather attached to the long eared rodent, reaching out to scritch her behind the ears as she ate. She stopped nibbling and looked up at axel, then down at the carrot, and then back at axel, before trying to hand him the carrot. Axel tried not to laugh as he took the carrot. He was about to be cheeky and ask the bunny if she was trying to share... till he realized she wanted him to hold it to make it easier for her to eat. He snorted at that, and the whole sequence made Saix smirk.-

Tell your rabbit I'm not a carrot holster.

Then stop pretending to be one.

Ohhhh I see how it is. Teaching her to make me carry the weight like I do for you.

Hm? Oh is that bitter detest I hear? If you don't feel I am doing enough then please enlighten me on what I can do.

-Axel snorted and smirked back at his bluet friend before seating himself to give both he and the rabbit an easier time.-

Saix?

Yes Axel?

If 2's gamble works... what do we do?

-Saix shifted his gaze over at the wall... he did not like the idea that Axel might be getting hopeful. These people not only wronged them, but made them suffer here and waste over a decade of there lives.-

We take the gift handed to us, and then make the fools suffer, of course. I've noticed you and the child have been rather... close. Getting distracted are we?

No, I'm fine. ...I know its not part of the plan but--

How did I know.

-Saix sighed, and his gaze intensified at the wall, before he flinched and moved his hands to his head, the head ache was already starting.-

...He is rather pure, isn't he? Do you believe if push came to shove, you could convince him?

I do. I just... I don't want him to suffer like we have Saix... Hes just a kid... younger than even we were.

I don't know whether to applaud your memories of feeling or be concerned for showing hesitation. Though... even I cannot fault you for at least wanting less mess on your hands. Do you believe you would develop guilt if you had to dispatch him?
