[...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...]

Really?

[ Barry took a gamble, but judging by ages he ha a feeling Axel was the closer one to Saix. He shifted his appearance changing into the red-head. ]

So seeing me here doesn't bother you?

[The material of his gloves squeaks a little as he curls his fingers into fists.]

So I see you've met Axel before.

You could say that.

[ Barry moves exactly as Axel would while speaking. The tone of his voice is exactly the same. ]

What's wrong? Not happy to see me?

[Barry's acting skills could almost be admired, if Saix didn't try to kill Axel not too long ago. Thus, things are instead just a bit... tense.]

Not particularly. Are you done playing your games?

[ Barry changed back to normal, or at least what could be assumed as normal for him. ]

Better?

Thank you.

[It's said a bit more coldly than usual even for Saix.]

[ Barry sighed lightly. ]

You know, you're not unlike Axel. Is he missing his heart as well?

[It's a good thing Saix doesn't have the elemental power of ice, or else this room would be the Arctic right now.]

He should be.

[ Not as if it would bother, Barry. Not really anyway. He might be upset if you killed his flowers though. ]

Then he found it again?

[ That might also explain things, why Axel was so unsure about his relationship with Roxas. ]

Somehow. He didn't even realize it.

[There's a slight tone to Saix's voice that hints at his thoughts on this. Quiet but there, and it goes a little something like how the fuck do you not even realize you can feel and create actual social bonds again you goddamn idiot I swear I am so fucking done.]

And you don't have any theories?

[ Barry doubted that. Saix seemed smart, he had to have suspected something. ]

I always have theories, but they aren't going to help me without any concrete data. That's why I made a post in the first place.

True.

Has anyone from your world given you any ideas?

Somewhat... However, asking them for further knowledge is unlikely to happen. We aren't on good terms.

What a shame, perhaps that smile you've learned will help you get back on their good graces.

Perhaps. They may well think it's just a trick, however.

Not if you learn to do it easy enough~

[ Barry reached out to place a hand on Saix's shoulder. ]

If you find the right appeal, it's amazing what you can do, and what you can get people to do.

[He eyes the hand on his shoulder before his gaze flickers back to Barry.]

What sort of appeal is that, then?

Your comrade, you said he had his heart again did you not?

[ Barry slipped his hand along Saix neck, moving up into that bright blue hair. ]

A heart is easy to manipulate. You can turn it to your will. You just need to find the right buttons to press.

[Slowly under Barry's touch, Saix starts to tense. Outwardly, his expression doesn't change a bit.]

Really.

Really.

[ Barry brings his other hand up and moves closer to Saix till he's practically pressed up against the other man. ]

A little nudge here, a tug there, and anyone can become putty in your hands. It takes time, some longer than others, but if you work at it anything can be yours.

[Barry what the fuck are you doing]

[On the bright side, Saix isn't getting any more tense, but he's not relaxing much either. He's just staring down at Barry, gold eyes critical.]

Whenever I've had to nudge someone along a certain path, I've usually dealt more with anger and desperation.

Then you'll have to learn about other emotions. Anger will only get you so far, and you attract far more flies with honey than vinegar.

Hmph... It sounds as though I'll have to do a lot of acting to get them to get over our bad history together.

But that's the point isn't it? Getting them to trust you, so you can get what you really want?

[ Barry moved in closer till his lips were barely above Saix's own yet again. ]
