[Axel is, as usual, poorly dressed when he appears on the Plane. And he can blame it on someone else this time! He's barefoot, sporting the tiniest hint of a future sunburn, and he's shirtless. OH BABY. It should be noted that Axel is sickeningly pale, so unless you're into the so-white-they-blind-you-in-the-sun-like-Edward kind of guy, he's probably not that attractive. He's also bony-edged and scrawny and lanky and other awkward high school adjectives.

The long coat, sash, and poofy pants can only mean one thing.

Agrabah!

With him comes a rush of hot air and sand, which he shakes off on his way to the kitchen for a nice, cold drink. He muses to himself while unscrewing a glass soda bottle.]

Man, I love double standards.

[Hey Axel, guess who has you beat in the pale and bony department? Sirius, who is helping himself to a sandwich, raises an eyebrow.] Any reason in particular?

[S'up person Ai hasn't seen since-- well, her arrival. This obviously needs to be fixed which is why she's there and dragging a chair along with her to the pantry. :|b]

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

Double standards? [Headtilt]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel always loses to the real goths, considering he has bright punk red hair. And he's not Irish. Irish people have an advantage in the pale and bony category too.]

It's just great when they work for me, for once.

[Hey look, it's that little kid girl woman... thing. Yeah he has no idea what to think about Ai.

Axel looms.]

Can ya reach?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Naminé! He brightens immediately when she appears, offering her the untouched soda with a flourish.]

S' nothing you should worry about. Soda?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Have an equally-oddly dressed (http://i50.tinypic.com/2u6zlmw.png) Roxas! let's see if I can dust this boy off... ]

What double-standards, Axel?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel is just finishing a sip of his soda, so give him a moment to swallow.]

Well, if ya think about it, me and Iago are in kinda similar situations. Whereas you treated me with kindness when I came back, the bird's been jumping through hoops in order to avoid getting roasted for dinner.

[He tosses a bottle at Roxas.] Catch!

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ And catch, he does! He pops it open, considers it for a moment... ]

I don't think that's the same thing. He liked working for Jafar before.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel blinks, then grins shamelessly.]

... That obvious, huh? I guess I'm not as good at pretending as I thought.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Roxas smiles back, taking a drink from the soda. ]

You're not that hard to read. [ Sometimes. ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Bah. It's 'cause I was desperate at that point, that's all. [He smiles back though.]

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

[Slight pout!] Axel, you always say that! [But she does take the soda.] And... thank you.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't blame you. [ Said conversationally, meant sincerely. ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[He takes a long sip of his soda.]

Talked to Naminé lately?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He looks a little guilty at that. ]

No... Have you?

omg fuck you lj notifs. B|

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[... That's really cute. It's almost enough to -

Ah, yes, there go his defenses.]

... Well. Someone who used to work for the bad guys apparently wants to be a good guy now, and everyone's giving him trouble for it.

It's just funny, considering I can talk to Princess Jasmine and she doesn't find me suspicious at all, even though I kidnapped her once.

aaaah are they working yet! /SOB

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

[You can't hide from the cute, Axel. So sorry.]

They are? [She thinks about that, taking a sip of her soda, and frowns.] But, if he's really sorry, then why not give him the chance to prove it first?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a little. Everything seems fine at home.

[Except Axel's still not sure he can come back, even after all the fighting they've done over it.

The main thing is that he's 100 percent sure the Organization is planning something, but he couldn't get Riku to say it, which frustrates him beyond description. Winning would be a lot easier without a moral code.]

they were working and then they weren't. seems to be ... working... now.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Oh, believe me, he's trying.

[ssssip]

Hope he doesn't die doing it.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

That's good. I mean— [ Melodramatic SIIIGH. ] We're missing tons of school, but I guess we'll just have to deal with that when we get back, huh?

jdfaljkdjal dammit eljay.

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

[She winces a bit at that.] I don't think they should be so hard on him...

[And of course, always the eternal optimist, she brightens up.] Maybe there's a way he can prove it beyond a doubt! Is there?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel lets out a huge groan.] Olette's gonna have our heads.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

It gets worse, too. She'll probably try helping. [ Which means study groups... which means Hayner and Pence will probably get dragged along... which means the guys are also going to have their heads. ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

He helped us keep Jafar from being summoned, so I'd say he gets an A for effort, but he skedaddled after that.

Pretty sure that the royal family's just as scared of Iago as he is of them.
