this conversation, Xemnas has a few things to bring up with Axel.
Log;
Rules. That was what it all boiled down to. Everything in the City; everything of his Organization; all that he sought. A different set of rules for every situation. True, some where far more malleable than others, but there were a select few that weren't. Don't betray the Organization. Don't go against his word. It wasn't much and yet it seemed there were always those who would seek out the loopholes in them.
Axel had been toeing that line for far too long. Ever since he'd returned from Oblivion, as a matter of fact. But he had been willing to tolerate the firestarter's presence if not trust. Had, but matters had since seen fit to change. 'I though you had been informed.' No, he had not. Axel had been somewhat less the free with all of the details of his time at the Castle, stating only that the Keybearer had taken care of matters and that he was lucky to escape with his own life intact.
A story that, in light of recent events, was not entirely true. Axel had things to answer to for and answer he would, a swirl of darkness closing around Xemnas as he vanished out of sight, to reappear in the building Axel called his own. There were advantages to keeping an eye on where his Organization settled; this was one of them. And if he caught them unawares, well... so much the better for him.
