[...There is something wrong with his body.]

[Saix really doesn't want to admit it, because that would make Axel right, but it's simply fact that he realizes once he's back in his own body instead of stuck in Axel's. It reminded him of what it felt like to be Isa a little bit, and it also reminded him of how it had felt when he had first joined the Organization. How he is now is... different. It's the Darkness. It feels thicker, like a heavy fog. He knows he's done some horrible things in the name of his goal, but never cared because the end justified the means. Still, this almost feels like too much.]

[Saix spends the day trying to convince himself that he's just letting himself fall into the same delusional trap that Axel has, but in the end, he has to know.]

[So you'll be seeing this guy on the SFC today, looking as calm and apathetic as ever.]

I'm curious, but are there any in Vatheon who are knowledgeable in the spiritual heart of a person? Perhaps the better, more general word would be 'soul'.

[A body, a mind, and a 'heart'- that's what makes a person, isn't it? But take away the 'heart', have it be lost to Heartless, and you're left with a body and a mind. A Nobody...]

[It feels... better to be back in his own body now that the curse is over, though he can't shake away the feeling of being suffocated by Darkness when he wakes up that morning. He knows it's no longer there, whatever was pulling him back when he was Saix, but the memory still pesters him like a bad memory or a nagging parasite.

He can only imagine what Saix feels now that he's back to normal.

Upon hearing the call over the network Axel hesitates, wondering if he should bother, but curiosity wins him over and he replies anyway. First he'll wait to listen to what other's have to say, since it's honestly something he's still confused an curious about as well.]

... Why are you asking?

[croceamors]

[He knew, of course, that there was a chance that one of the others would spot this. He knew it might be Axel. Still, he's... uncertain of how to respond. At least, honestly.]

As a Nobody, it shouldn't be surprising that I'm asking.

[flared]

Must've been thinking about something in particular.

[He's on to you.]

[croceamors]

[Stop knowing him so well, you bastard]

What makes you say that?

[flared]

Because I know you.

[Nope. Never. Can't stop won't stop.]

[croceamors]

[Just that perfectly executed lineface.]

[At least- just for a moment. His gaze flickers away for a moment.]

I just want to test something.

[flared]

[And with that he sets the feed to private. Should have from the beginning, but, you know.]

Like what?

~~~private~~~

[croceamors]

What does it matter to you?

[Even with that filter in place, it seems he's still going to be difficult.]

~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~

[flared]

Quite a bit. Considering what I felt while I was in your body.

[He wants to know what the heck that's all about.]

!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!

[croceamors]

Hmph. I just want to know what makes your body so different from mine.

[And other things.]

11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11

[flared]

Aside from the whole "might have a heart" thing?

$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$

[croceamors]

...Maybe there is something wrong. I doubt it, but there is no harm in trying to check.

@@$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$@@

[flared]

[He sighs.]

What do you think is wrong?

***@@$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$@@***

[croceamors]

[Tch. He doesn't want to admit anything..]

I don't know.

####***@@$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$@@***####

[flared]

[More sighing.]

Hopefully you find the answer you're looking for.

ithink####***@@$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$@@***####thisisouttacontrol

[croceamors]

I'll find it one way or another.

shhhithink####***@@$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$@@***####thisisouttacontrolit'sokshhhh

[flared]

Have you heard anything particularly interesting, though?

ohgodshhhithink####***@@$$11!!~*~*~*~private~*~*~*~!!11$$@@***####thisisouttacontrolit'sokshhhhohno

[croceamors]

[He almost wants to say 'no', but this entire thing is public, so there really wouldn't be a point.]

I might have a lead on individuals whose World places a great deal of importance on knowledge pertaining to souls.

THERE'S NO MORE SPACE WE'RE DONE BUT THIS SHIT'S STILL PRIVATE OK

[flared]

And what did they say about it?

[He's pretty much overheard everything, but it doesn't hurt to ask.]

sob

[croceamors]

I haven't talked to them yet, fool.

[flared]

I thought you would have.

[Shrug]

Since you wanna know pretty bad and all.

[croceamors]

Unlike someone I could name, I'm not impatient. If they don't respond to my feed, then I'll contact them myself.

[flared]

Impatient? I wonder who that could be.

[He taps his cheek in thought. Teasing, obviously. Then,]

Make sure you don't scare them off.

[croceamors]

I won't. I can be perfectly cordial to other people, thank you.

[flared]

[Smirk]

I'll be sure to warn anyone just in case.
