Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 54: Jenga

Anything to report?

Heh, not as much as I would like. Everyone's being so hush hush about those two, starting to make me wonder.

Well, you are the Turk, here I thought you'd have a better insight by now on the information they are hiding from us.

-Marluxia was seated on his bed curled up in a blanket with a cup of tea, still nursing his tender ribs with Larxene across from him at the foot of the bed. The blonde looked severely annoyed by the mans light jab at her ability to get information. She liked to think she could be just as sneaky as Xigbar... when the man wasn't keeping eyes on her of course.-

Well excuuuusssseeee me princess, I can only do so much when everyone's half up there asses. For fucks sake I even heard bubble boy bitching about them this morning- BUBBLE BOY. ...How's your ribs?

-He didn't know whether to be amused or insulted about the princess comment, so he just ignored it.-

Sore, but hopefully I'll be back on track soon. And Demyx, now that's interesting ...You sure you don't have anymore pain medicine?

Marluxia, that's the 5th time you've asked me. I'm not going to allow you to get hooked on something else.

-The pinket wanted to argue with her, and tell her he wasn't the type, but, well, his history wasn't exactly spotless, so he sighed and simply sipped again at his tea, wincing in mild discomfort as he shifted faintly on the bed, struggling to get comfortable. The blonde frowned, noticing.-

Its really that bad, isn't it?

Tends to happen when someone wails on you when unconscious and you are unable to defend yourself. No sense dwelling on it however. Surprised the fool leading us hasn't complained yet about my absence from work.

Same. Then again, I think he's caught on that you and I started hanging out, and after the bitching I gave him over my clothes, he's been pretty quiet.

Oh, how did that go?

-The lightning bug immediately went red and covered her face, grumbling.-

You'd never believe it... 5 had my clothes...

5? He's the last one I'd suspect to be a pervert. Seems we really can't trust anyone around here.

-The flowery one said with a disappointed sigh as he sipped his lotus blossom blend, Larxene rolled her eyes.-

Well actually...

Hm?

Guy FOLDED my clothes, and left them on the table. Since when does a guy like that fold clothes? I still can't wrap my mind around it.

Oh... now that's interesting. You know, speaking of strange relations in this organization, I never asked you what your vendetta is with Xigbar.

He's a fiendish prick. He reminds me of people, very bad people.

-Mumbled the blonde as she shifted to get comfortable next to Marluxia, sighing and closing her eyes as she laid back on the pillow. Marluxia looked over at her, paused, a bit more alert now.-

Are you afraid of him?

...People like patchy the pirate tend to be out for themselves. They are unpredictable, and usually rather opportunistic. I've still not nailed him down quite yet on what his motives are.

I see. Who specifically does he remind you of? I notice when ever he gets too close... you seem to freeze up, or yell at him even if he's not exactly done anything to you.

-She paused, flinching at that... had she really done that? She rubbed lightly at the lower part of her arm some.-

I um...
