[Ah! Oh, okay, that's a name he knows. He's still not quite sure why you look familiar, or how you know his name, but he can roll with this.] It is. [Or was, more specifically, but for now Axel will do. Especially since he's not quite sure how to bring this up to Roxas and Xion yet.] Terra, huh? Well it's nice to finally have a face to put with the name--Naminé and the king told me about you...

[If Terra is paying attention, there's a grain of apology in the explanation, though it's very faint. Lea has an easier time with apologies than Axel did, but they still don't come entirely naturally, especially for things that aren't his fault. But he is a bit sorry they didn't find Terra; he can't imagine how awful it must have been for Aqua to be trapped in the dark realm for so long, and doesn't want to think about possibly having left anyone behind.]
