[The feed clicks on at first upside down, with a curious face peering down at it upside down.]
Oh, it looks like it's working!
[The view flips right side up as the girl smiles, looking hopeful. She's still in the Baseball Diamond, and there's even a small speck of dirt in her cheek from where she landed.]Hello. I'm not sure if anyone's listening

Well hello there, princess; remember me?
[W-well, it's a start. He only hopes she won't bite him on-sight if they ever happen to pass on the street.]

[She still has mixed feelings over this. Right now, he's the last person she expected to see here.]
You're... here too?

[And then he holds up both hands in an 'I'm unarmed' sort of gesture, his NV propped up on the coffee table in his apartment.] Don't worry, Kairi--I'm not in the kidnapping business anymore. [One hand goes to the back of his neck and he averts his eyes briefly.] So, I'm not lookin' for trouble, for the record.

As long as you don't drag me from my friends away again.
... speaking of, did... you find yours?

[And then a smile creeps unbidden across his face.]
Yeah, actually, I did. Here, anyway. Didn't have quite so much luck back home, exactly, but in the end I'd say it all worked out.
[A beat of silence and he looks uncomfortable for a moment, then purses his lips.]
So ah, anyway... I guess I kinda owe you an apology.

[The challenging look she had on that slowly diffuses into a small smile afterwards.]
I'm glad for you, then.
[Aha, an apology. Okay, she'll listen. She's not the type to bear grudges but if this is what Axel wants...]

[W-wait, what's that expectant listening look for? You mean he actually has to say it? Aw man, he thought it would be enough to admit he owed you one, you're really gonna make him spell it out? Girls are harsh!
[... Fine. You win. He averts his eyes, then lowers his head a bit.]
Sorry I freaked you out and dragged you into a corridor and then let Saïx get his hands on you. [This is muttered, low and fast though at no cost to the sincerity of it. He means what he says. He lifts his eyes without lifting his head and gives her a sort of hangdog look.] Hope he didn't hurt you too much; he's kind of an asshole. [Well she looks to be all in one piece anyway.
[Apologizing is hard, dude.]

[Okay, she'll giggle at that. Well, he did drag her around like that.]
It's okay, Axel. I think we're good now. Especially after an apology like that. And he didn't lay a hand on me. Mostly he just told me I was going to be a bait for Sora and kept me in a cage.

That's good, then. Er... [Awkward turtle.] Well, anyway, ah... Yeah. So we're good now. [Pay attention, kids. The one thing that can really make Axel flounder: having to make a sincere apology.] I guess, I'll be seein' you around then, maybe. [What the hell is he supposed to say now?]

[Cheerful little thing, isn't she.]
