Okay...since Axel seems to think it's a bad idea to try and teach the cat to ice skate, let me ask all of you a question. A friend and I are thinking about starting a business. It's something really good, promise
( Read more... )
[Axel was just chilling back here while waiting for Luke to arrive. Once Roxas walks in with Luke behind him, Axel stands up from his seat at his desk to greet the other redhead.]
Yo, Luke. Have a seat. [Motions to the chair he was just sitting in.]
[And Roxas is going to make sure Luke's in the room before shutting the door and leaning against it.] Yeah, make yourself comfortable. Axel's chair's pretty nice.
JEEEEZ okay Luke will just eye the door for a second before he moves to sit in the chair. Slowly. Because this is making him kind of nervous, even more so with Roxas leaning against the door like that and him being the only one sitting...]
It is kind of nice... [Okay, that was a dumb thing to say, but he's just trying to break that tension in the air a little. Once that's out of the way, he looks up at the two of them, confusion all over his face.] So... You wanted to talk to me about something?
[He glance at Axel as he sits up a little straighter in his chair, then back at Roxas. omg did you seriously brotray me]
But you know me already, right? I'm Luke fon Fabre, I come from a world called Auldrant... [Seriously, what do they want to know here? He pauses and frowns slightly before going on.] I'm a noble from the capital city of Baticul...
No... I was raised in the manor with no way to get out. That time when I was in Luceti like that... That was the first time I'd ever been outside of it, before I woke up in Tartaroo Valley. That's why I didn't know anything, like what the river looked like, or... how to treat people.
As for the important ones? [He shifts awkwardly and glance off to the side. He's not sure if Roxas and Axel know about... what he is or not. And he's not sure if he really wants them to know, either.] ... First, did Xion ever say anything about... [How to say this...] ... what I am?
[That gets a head tilt from Axel. He's very intrigued now.] Hasn't said anything like that to me, no. [Huh. And a quick glance at Roxas.] She say anything to you?
[...hmm. Does it matter? It doesn't matter if Xion told him or not, it's more important that Luke explains himself because I can't remember what Roxas knows and what Kairi knows..] Why don't you just tell us?
[... It should be okay. These are Xion's closest friends; they ought to know what she is, so... since they've become more and more serious with their relationship, it stands to reason that they ought to know about him, too.
But it's still so hard. He opens his mouth and takes in a breath, only to shut it and lower his head a little. It's okay.
It's after a few seconds' thought that he finally lifts his head, shuts his eyes, takes in a deep breath, then opens his eyes as he lets it out.]
I'm a replica. I wasn't made the same way Xion was, but...
My original is here, too. I'm not sure if you've ever met him... His name is Asch. He's important to me.
[Oh. Oh, wow. That's not what Axel was expecting at all. He's quite taken aback by this, surprised at what Luke is and the fact he even just told them. And is kind of hoping they really didn't bully it out of him. Xion might not like that. Jeeze, this conversation got way more serious than Axel was really intending.
He sighs quietly, scratching the back of his head for a moment.]
Puts it into perspective why you and Xion bonded so closely.
[It's hard to determine if Roxas already knew this or not; this one's been practicing his poker face. He doesn't say anything for a moment, but then...]
[He glances at Roxas, before he looks down again. He still remembers that moment clearly, both of them out on the bridge... And he thought she would at least think less of him and at most hate him, but he wanted to show her... to tell her that not all futures are told in stone.]
... I did. She told me after that. [After scaring him to death for half a minute.]
Yo, Luke. Have a seat. [Motions to the chair he was just sitting in.]

Wait a minute, you're a noble? I thought you just used to be a brat because you could.
...but important people's a good point. [You know, like your original. Can we get confirmation on all of that?]
