It takes him a while (and leaving the apartment to practice juggling five balls while on fire), but he eventually looks out for Katherine and heads over to the place she claims as her own. Axel figures there are a few ways to go about this, and after their chats, he realizes that he might as well lay his hand out. The thing is: he doesn't have much proof that this woman is interesting. Some part of Axel is aware of the nagging guilt as just looking for entertainment-but somehow, this harkens back to his early days. Early days of being a Nobody, that is. They were better ones, days where he and Saïx clung to the absent reminders of humanity despite the ever-present vacant feeling inside
( ... )
"You've gotta wonder how they get the stuff ready to go, what with all the dockin' and goin' they do," he says, eyeing her wide collection quite curiously. So this was the type of woman Katherine was. He supposes he isn't that surprised. Axel hasn't seen that much amassed outside of what he always bet Luxord carried around in his coat. (Then again, he doesn't know either way. But if there's anyone in the Organization drinking on the job ...)
He rolls his shoulders back and waves a hand. "After I put on my show. I'm here for a reason, ya know?" And his reason might set all of her pretty surroundings on fire, especially if there's an extra bottle bit of liquid ready for contact. Axel considers telling her to put everything away, but decides against it.
She actually sits up at that, setting the bottle onto the floor next to the couch. There's a look of genuine interest on her face, although whether it's directed at the upcoming performance or something else isn't too clear. She's torn between hoping that he manages to do it, or if it'll be a gigantic flop. Each were entertaining in their own way, but if he is successful, then her socks were going to have to be pretty damn good. If anything, Axel has her full attention, and that's something to brag about.
"Well, don't let me stop you," Katherine takes a long sip, emptying her glass with a quiet smack of her lips. She leans over, placing it next to the bottle, and straightens herself out again. "Show me what you can do."

It'll be three times more impressive this way.
