[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.]

[This face. Srsly.]

Hey, now, change of 'heart' down the line or otherwise, I'm pretty sure my affinity for schlepping around and doing as little as possible for as long as I can get away with it is fundamentally ingrained in my character.

Until the fire gets lit from underneath you. From what I remember, you were working real hard.

[He folds his arms and gives him a very stern look.]

Hey, if I'm working hard, then I'm sure it's for a really good reason. But I'm just as sure that punching a cash register around this funhouse? Ain't a really good reason. [And he leans back again, assuming his usual lounging posture.] So until such time as a really good reason presents itself? I for one plan on continuing to schlep.

[ eyeroll. ]

I can't stand staying still. You've got some talent, there.

You know, it might look like I'm doing nothing at all, but I assure you that on a cellular level I'm extremely busy. Don't wanna overdo it, you know.

What're you gonna do, sprain a duplicating hip cell?
