New Moon, stop that.

[The golden retriever pulls away from the SFC camera, sparing you all prolonged exposure from a close up of a doggy nose. There's the sound of boots in the sand before Saix picks up the SFC and starts to clean it with a sigh. From what can be seen, he's somewhere on the island, the night sky stretched out above him. Settled in the sand is also a telescope, and some papers and books set up on a nearby rock.]

[Soon enough, he realizes that the SFC is on. Oh well. He might as well put it to good use- he had been wondering something tonight. Maybe someone in Vatheon could be useful.]

[When he speaks, he actually sounds fairly relaxed and calm instead of stoic, rigid, or just plain... well, douchebaggy.]


Is there anyone who knows anything about astronomy, or anything to do with the night sky? I'm simply curious.

[None of the Organization were really people he could have a conversation with about his element, and he's in a 'good' mood tonight. His gaze shifts away from the SFC until he's looking up into the sky.]

It's waxing crescent tonight...

[Action]

[Anyone up on the island tonight has a chance of running into Saix, who's found a nice spot on the beach. His black coat and gloves are folded off to the side, leaving him in a simple tank top and his pants as he looks through the telescope. If someone approaches, he'll look up and give a slight nod of recognition while his dog simply lays by the rocks, tail wagging.]

[As usual, Axel spends his time at sundown up on the rooftops where he can have the best view of the sunset over the dome. However, ever since he learned about what else their night here has to offer, he's taken the opportunity to wander out for a longer time and take in the scenery. It's quite mesmerizing from the usual things like the moon and the water, but also the jellyfish illuminated by the light from above the surface of the sea.

It's just not easy to see the stars from underwater, so they're the closest he has unless he takes to the island. It's with that in mind that Axel decides to stay out for a little while more. Within moments he steps out of a Corridor and onto the white sand of the beach up top. It's different here at night... but he thinks he likes it this way the most. There's nothing to bother him up here; he can just be alone with his thoughts and the real starlight.

He's dressed casually tonight, his still wounded wrist and hand hidden away in the loose sleeve of his hooded jacket and the other hand shoved into his pocket. Axel's not particularly focused on anything when suddenly the sight of someone up along the shore surprises him and he looks up having just stopped in place. ... It's a sight only Axel would really be familiar with, and yet he feels odd looking at it, as if something about it isn't right.

... Ah. That's it. It's because it's Isa he sees, even for a little while, and it's just not settling with him the way it should.

Too caught up in watching, Axel doesn't say or do anything. Not yet.]

[To anyone else, sure, Saïx could just be anyone or no one right now, but to Axel– How can he brush him off, anyway? He's right there, sticking out like a sore thumb, doing something he's only seen Isa do, and that was a long time ago. It's just not possible for Saïx to look vulnerable... but like this Axel can tell clear as day he's at least in one of his better moods.

It puts him at ease.]


... Hey.
flared: (♣ heart)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-12 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
... What's up?

[Small talk seems appropriate right now, right? Even though it's obvious what Saïx is doing anyway. It's just– He wants to talk.]
flared: (Default)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-12 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He scoffs at that, amused, then at the sight of the dog he walks up a little closer.]

Just going for a walk. Is that a bad thing?
flared: (♣ hypnosis)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-12 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope. Not a chance. Drawing closer, he doesn't stop until he's right beside New Moon and flops down on the sand to pat the dog on the head.]

Remember when I got you one of those?
flared: (♣ geez you suck)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-12 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cute. Axel scratches behind the ears and smooths his hand over New Moon's head and neck. Good doggy.]

I'm not. But he's a part of who I am.

[Shrug]

... So do you remember or what?
flared: (♣ smile)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Smirking, Axel continues to pet New Moon then gets to patting him on the back too. Doggies~ He likes doggies.

But his attention doesn't stay focused on the dog for long. Eventually he's back to glancing at Saïx and then the sky above where he can see the moon. As he remembers, it's waxing crescent tonight; Lea had sat through many of Isa's stargazing sessions and memorized almost every constellation and moon phase by heart.]


... See any constellations you recognize?

[It's the summer sky, so there are new ones around, no doubt.]
flared: (♣ left too soon)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
You never know. Things change pretty unexpectedly around here.

[One night they might see their sky and another night there might not even be a proper sky at all. Just... darkness. Unpredictability like that is unsettling for Axel, but all the same it's exciting. Thinking it, he keeps his eyes focused upward, quiet awe circling about within them.]

After all, the moon's pretty similar.
flared: (♣ anxiety)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Curiously he looks over at Saïx when he hears those words. Different? Well, he supposes that this is what he knows best, what he's in tune with best, so there's no sense in arguing about the subject. Saïx must be right. Axel could leave the conversation there... but something prompts him to keep speaking as he tucks his knees up to his chest and hugs his arms around them.

Isa, tell me about the moon again. What is it tonight? What'll it be tomorrow?

Can we go see it together?
]


What else?
flared: (♣ dollhouse)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He listens, nodding as he does. It's all familiar to him, sitting and listening quietly while Isa flips through his notebooks and points up at the stars, telling him all that he's learned, everything he's seen- Lea might not have understood everything, but it was still worth it to see Isa come out of his shell like that.

To Lea, his friend was like the moon itself- quiet, soft spoken, but with so much power and poise.]


... Can I take a look?

[said as he glance over at the telescope.]
flared: (♣ ink on the page)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[He rolls his eyes.]

I've never broken it before.
flared: (♣ nice hardware)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't. What reason would I have to break it anyway?

[More eye rolling. Honestly.]
flared: (♣ schadenfreude)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-13 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
And you're way too stiff.

[Don't mind him, he'll just be holding up New Moon's head with both hands so he can massage his jaw. Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy~?]
flared: (♣ tell. me. everything.)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-18 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't give yourself that much credit. I never even saw you get out there on the field and kick ass.

[Who's a good doggy? Yes, you're a good doggy, awwwwwww.]
flared: (♣ spare me the dramatics)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-18 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure. Blame it all on something else, why don't you.

[You can just never be wrong, can you. But whatever. He's used to it. Axel continues to pet doggy before he has to give his hands a rest. So, he'll go ahead and make himself comfortable, flopping backward onto the sand with his arms folded behind his head. ... Hm. The night sky really is nice here.]
flared: (♣ quiet)

[personal profile] flared 2013-07-18 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Axel just won't bother responding to that and instead relaxes, staring up at the sky in silence. It's so familiar... He can remember Lea being quiet for once while his friend talked on and on about the stars and the worlds, then at one point he would just fall fast asleep, not because he was bored, but because he felt so much at peace.

Really, it's not his intention to bother Saïx right now. He just wants to be here. That's all.]

To an extent, but I haven't done much beyond the occasional stargazing since I was in my twenties.

[What with work and then prison, whoops.]

[personal profile] fulmination 2013-07-10 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Assuming you mean the skies, then it was essentially the same as the one here to my knowledge.

[Because who knows if this world has the same solar system as his own world. It all looks the same as far as the constellations go to him.]

[personal profile] fulmination 2013-07-11 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hence why I said 'essentially'.

[Then light frown.]

It's not polite to mutter like that, Mister Saix.

[y e p, he's heard alllllllll about you c: He has ~connections~]

whoops

[personal profile] fulmination 2013-07-11 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a large city. Men with blue hair do tend to stick out and people are bound to get curious about their identities.

[hint: a little keyblade wielder told him, but not the ones that he'd probably think of first.]

That may be true for you, but it's rather eye-catching when the strangest color I've seen in my world was a... [Man? Woman? Screw it;] Someone with green hair.

[Axel's hair still throws him for a loop. It's just so red.]
