Larxene rolled her eyes, yet she smirked. "If you don't want a certain incident to happen to your hair when you're sleeping, I suggest you do." This kind of attitude from Zexion flabbergasted her, not getting in how did he changed moods so fast, and this was soomething that didn't seem like him either. He was all serious, stern, and all mature, and now he was acting...childish. It was odd, really, maybe his mind was stil dazed from just waking up. It certainly took her mind off what was the purpose of leaving with him though, now she was reminded again.
Axel focused on the blonde hastily heading off to check on Marluxia, or he guessed, her new boyfriend. He was quite dumbfounded, however, when she declared she wanted to talk to him later, and so, Larxene parted from him with a hopeful note that he'll get a answer, perhaps. Though, for some reason, he was kind of uneasy on what it would be. Basically, Axel didn't comprehend anything, in all honesty. And why he bothered so much on the subject in the first place. Sighing as she disappeared, with a pause, he stared at the spot where she once was, before he turned around, climbing up the stairs to the roof, knowing that Cloud had left, but that there were two females still up there. So much for a spar.
Larxene bit back a yelp as she felt Zexion heave her up out of the blue, his arms encircling around her and picking her up as he scurried off. She didn't know whether to give him a lightning attack again, laugh, or pinch his arm, due to him being hurt before. She felt a little flustered though, when he took the chance to hold her, this wasn't exactly the first time this happened. Bitingly, though it was almost overshadowed by the amusement in her tone, she snarled dryly, "I didn't mean it literally, you fart."
Larxene had a dreading feeling that this wasn't good news, but made her way to stand up anyway, dusting off invisle dirt off her cloak, and seeing if it got rumpled. Finding it fine, she gave a nod to Zexion, a bit anxious on why this was a big deal to speak to her alone about. She derived her eyes to Roxas, who was still sitting down with Adhira on his lap on the ground, looking a bit confused at all this. Larxene gave hima stern look. "Take care of Adhira for me, you two seemed fond of each other. I'll give you something for the trouble." With a penetrating gaze, she went back to Zexion, casually saying, "Take me away." Roxas didn't do any movement or said anything, he was a little miffed that he was new as well, and he wasn't going to be told or couldn't come. He'll take care of Adhira though.
"You're lying," Larxene accused dangerously, beginning to give him a glare. She diverted her eyes at Axel for a second to see if he knew what he was talking about, but he remained blank. Great, now this was going to frustrate her. She shouldn't bother him when he just got out of a deep sleep, but the curiosity had her on edge. "Tell me. I won't be so shocked at what else you people are hiding, I figured it's expected."
Axel's expression went grim as he spotted a certain person portalling into this little get together, and he got distracted slightly as he nodded at Larxene's motion, telling her that he was oh so very aware of his presence. It wasn't just the jealousy anymore, is that this guy rubbed him the wrong way. There was something odd about Max, but he wasn't certain what exactly drove him to want to chuck a chakram in his face. He gave Max a dirty look, thinking over if he should take on Larpex, or get at Max for their unfinished struggle. If he stayed, that is.
"Yes, from what Axel said, androids. Her name was Aerith," Larxene replied easily, not taking her mind off the fact of what he was avoiding. When a person said it was nothing, it was obviously something, or else they wouldn't have mentioned it. She eyed Zexion suspiciously. "But you can fill me on that later. What was it that you meant, that it 'wasn't just that'?"
"What do you mean?" Larxene questioned, furrowing her eyebrows, at the ready just in case he suddenly falls back down, you might never know. She kept her legs in the same position, sprawled on the floor, and gazed at him intently. Roxas was watching everything in his quiet demeanor, quite amused, but was also checking the other three people in the room. He had stopped petting Adhira's sleeping form after a while, letting her rest there, and decided to see what Zexion had to say.
Larxene almost recoiled back, surprised at Zexion's move, but got a hold of herself in time, and stared at him, though her breathing had quickened. He seemed to be concerned for her, and meant it, and she felt the same guilt she had a while ago, as Larxene knew perfectly that she was the one who got him in the state he's in. Grabbing the hand on her cheek softly, she put it down slowly back at his side. She wasn't the person to be worried about. "I'm okay. You...you're the one that fainted. I told you to let me go, didn't I?"
"Hmph. Not to mention that I don't what else I can do yet. For some reason, I have the urge to fight you too, you seem like a dangerous opponent and one who can deliver," Larxene exploited indifferently, cocking her head to the side as a coy smirk appeared gracefully, her eyes looking up and down at his figure. "Fine then. I owe you a fight, though I might get...distracted..." She curved a silky eyebrow up at him, trying hard not to giggle. Though Axel didn't look like one who would get all flustered like she wanted. Larxene got distracted when she heard Zexion move, hearing his voice, and looked down, eyeing him. "Awake...?"
Larxene felt uncomfortable under his gaze, though she didn't stare down or look away. She was surprised to hear he had been here so long though, when he only looked to be about 20. So he got here young? "Thanks, I guess," she mumbled softly, still feeling tired from the events. "You look the type to get amused easy though. Using psychology, you called this a prison cage, so I guess you feel trapped as well?" Larxene thought this over for a bit, thinking that he was willing to give information. "Do you even get to go out at least? If I'm going to stay here, I better have some form of entertainment, except annoying people. Or...maybe a battle? I'm curious about what you can bring into the table, not like that Demyx guy, hopefully."
"I laugh when people fall down and get injured or bleed. You're too late on the freak thing," Larxene tried to joke, giving Roxas a scowl at his comment, before gazing back at Axel. "Though I understand what you mean. And how about you? You seem to be all calm and accepted your fate pretty easy. How long have you been here? I'm only staying because I have no choice on the matter." Roxas just listened to them silently, engrossed on petting Adhira. He eyed Zexion, to see if he made any signs of moving, but none at all. Larxene had no other initiative but to stay here, so he couldn't escape either with the droids as their enemy.
Larxene eyed Axel, her lips in a thin-line. "I suppose, but I can watch myself. And what's special about me exactly, Hedgehog? Other than the fatc that I got turned into some stupid mutant against my will." With this said, giving Axel a raised brow, she turned to Roxas. "To answer what you asked, yes, that is my pet. Her name is Adhira, which means 'lighting' in Hindu, ironically enough. She's a rare breed, and her species extinct. She has many special abilities that you'll see soon enough. Her type never grows, she'll be a kitty forever, and has way more of a lifespan than humans." Roxas nodded, absently, his mind set on what Axel had told him, but he listened to what she said. He stared down at Adhira, very interested, and even though she was a adorable little thing, if Larxene was her owner...well. Sighing, he looked at both of them quietly, since Zexion was unconcious. "What are we going to do now? Zexion is knocked out, courtesy of Larxene."
OOC: Is Cloud emo or what? o_O Tifa sighed irritably as Cloud left, wondering what had she done now. He was taking things way too seriously, and she didn't know why he acted that way, and left her here. All she asked was if he said something in a dry voice because she needed water, only for him to snap back at her. How is that her fault this time? Straightening up, she stared at Rei, not knowing what to do now. Cloud trudged off, Axel still wasn't here, and she was uncertain on whether to follow the blond or not. Tifa had nothing to apologize for. "I think we should end it here, right? Some males are being pain in the a**es, while some are late."
She was going to answer Roxas' question, until Larxene's head shot up as she heard Axel's comment, the man appearing, and scoffed. He had a point though. They were after her now too, and she could never go back to the life she had, unless this was over. This base is where she cannot get hurt or harmed in any way. It seemed everything was working against her. Roxas was surprised that the black cloaked guy, dressed just like them, greeted him. Being polite, he gave a smile to the unknown young man. "And, I'm Roxas. Number XIII." He didn't think saying his number was needed, but is sounded more professional that way. Besides, it seemed he knew Larxene and what had ocurred so far.
Larxene glared at Roxas, silently telling him to keep his voice down on her unless he wanted to die. Her light blue eyes glanced back at Zexion's, his face pale and disoriented. She opend her mouth to explain. "I exhausted him. You see, I got to see the man that finally ordered for us to be turned this way, in the lab, he was old, but yet still quite young, blond hair still. In anger, I tried to attack him, only for Zexion to hold me back in a grip, laying down. So I set my lighting on his body, that's my power, among other things like speed and levitation, but he wouldn't let me go. I blasted him off, and escaped by portalling home. I'll teach you how to do that later, if you want. And enemy attacked, and he took me from there and...here we are. Before all this, he was testing my abilities, so I learned the few things I can do." Roxas' face stayed blank as he took in all the information, and sighed, as he made his way to sit down in the floor next to her, crossing his legs indian-style. The kitty that Larxene had brought with her made its way onto his lap, curling her small little body comfortably as he rested against him. He smiled slightly. "That man you met is Ansem, Ansem The Wise. He was quite nice and friendly." Roxas looked down at the sleeping kitty, and setting his eyes on a black, star-shaped mark on her forehead. The cat also had four tails, and was the color of a very light yellow. He scratched the back of her ear tenderly. "This is your pet?"
Axel was watching her in anticipation as she spoke out, his heart getting faster, not knowing why, only for her to stop and mentioning a particular name that caught his attention. Blinking, he followed the direction in which she had her vision upon, and saw Marluxia standing there, scythe in hand, and looking upset. Axel frowned. He had forgotten about this side of things, that Marluxia was going with Larxene to the dance, and they kissed. Though, were they going out? He remained speechless, only to notice Cloud going pass him down the stairs. This was a way to ruin a conversation. And that's what it was now. Ruined. Now he was left again to wonder the end of her words. Axel set his eyes on Larxene, trying to see what she was going to do with Marluxia, who had departed sadly. In a strained voice, he muttered. "Maybe you should go after him..."
"Zexion!" Larxene, in reflex, had caught Zexion in time before he hit the floor, Adhira bouncing of her shoulder and landing in the surface of a table. The weight pulled Larxene down into the ground with him, but they didn't hit it hard, and just glided into it softly, her knees bending down, as her arms held him close as he went out of it. She stretched her legs forward and openly straightened them to place him cautiously on her lap, or thighs, and stared at him curiously. She guessed that was her fault, tiring him out, but if he had listened and wouldn't have been so stubborn, he would be fine. Though, she couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of guilt knowing that she was the cause. Tiny. Roxas had ran to them in shock, stopping as he reached their bodies, and looked down at, what he now knew, was Zexion, from Larxene's yelp. He blinked, confused, and pondered why he was so hurt and weak. He eyed Larxene as if he predicted it had something to do with her. "What happened?!"
OOC: Sorry ^_^; "Don't have to snap at me, you know. I just heard you and wanted to know," Tifa replied seethingly, wondering why he was talking to her with that tone, letting her eyes go to Cloud for a moment, before reflecting them on Rei's figure again.
"Because what?" Axel questioned lowly, his eyebrows raising up in awe at how she cut off her answer, and the marbled expression on her face. Both of them had still not noticed Marluxia's presence, and Axel was busy concentrating on Larxene's face to be aware. He had wanted to get it over with, and go back to what he had swore in the school yard about cutting the Preps out of his life, but this had made him agitated. He didn't even know why he was taking it easy on her, but he knew this was the best approach for her to talk to him, instead of getting her angry. Axel sighed tiredly. "Is fine if you don't want to tell me..." It wasn't really, Axel desired to know now that she had let it out. But it was her decision in the end.
