[Axel looks a bit haunted and haggard, like he hasn't slept in a few days and maybe was recently in a fight. Which wouldn't be incorrect assumptions, for that matter. He stares at the feed a moment like he's not sure what to say, then frowns.]

According to the date on my tablet, I've only been gone a little over a day. [A bitter laugh.] My, how much can change in a day.

[A brief pause and then he puts on a private filter.]
[Private to Riku]

We should talk. [His tone is severe, but not belligerent. You got some 'splainin' to do, Riku.]

Memory's a funny thing like that, I guess.

[Another awkward rub at the back of his neck and he avoids her eyes.] Well, I just mean that Xion and the others disappeared with no notice, so... there's really no telling when somebody's gonna just up and vanish, right? [He wags a finger importantly at her, deftly not acknowledging the latter half of what she said.] So just because I wasn't gone very long doesn't mean the cast list around this place hasn't necessarily changed.

[She tilts her head, considering what he's just said.]

Well, yeah, but out of all the days I've been here, there's not a high chance it would've happened to be the day you were gone that I'd go missing. But it's good not to take things for granted, so I guess you're right in that way!
