[The feed flickers on and Lea fiddles with it a moment, turning the screen sideways briefly before making a face and righting it. Crazy newfangled technology. He's not wearing the watch, rather has it set on the table in his apartment like it's a tiny tiny computer. After making sure the little screen will stay upright by itself, Lea frowns at it a moment before scratching his head.]

So they tell me this watch thingy posts live to a network everybody in the city can see. Wow, that's pretty impressive--not just in technology but in trust! [He leans forward a bit, folding his arms on the back of the chair he's sitting backwards in and plunking his chin down on them.] I mean, I could say anything, and I wouldn't even be censored? [A low, appraising whistle.]

I mean, not that I'd ever do anything like that. [Grin~]

So where can a guy find the best ice cream in town? I've had a long day you guys wouldn't believe.

[Nothing like being dead and then waking up and finding out you got your heart back and wrangling with the idea of having real emotions again and debating whether or not you should track down your old friends who think you're dead and then getting pelted by children falling out of trees to wear you out. Yup. But he's not gonna go into details.




[A beat of silence and then he glances around as if making sure no one's watching before he cups a hand beside his mouth and says in a stage whisper,] Xemnas is an insufferable ass. And his briefings were boring as hell. [Just checking on that censorship thing. Yup. Nothing to see here.]

[Lea scratches his head.]

Well, I'm sure there's a furniture shop somewhere in town, but... a.) I don't have any munny that I think will work here, and I'm pretty sure grand-theft-couch is frowned upon in most civilized societies, and b.) I'm not sure it'd fit in here anyhow.

[He looks at Roxas then and sort of sighs hopelessly.]

Nah, I remember it just fine, I just remember it a long time ago. Like a couple years ago long time ago. [He leans back on his hands then, staring up at the ceiling a moment before giving Roxas a serious look.] It's... not a huge deal, in the end. I mean, I'm not sure why we all seem to remember--or not remember--different things from different times, but... [He smiles a bit then, shaking his head.] It doesn't really matter, so long as we're all here, right?

[Some things were better left forgotten, he figures. If Roxas never had to know about the fights they'd had, never had to go through the exasperation of not understanding who he was, never had to deal with defecting from the Organization and becoming a fugitive, then all the better, so far as Lea thinks. This is like a second change to get this right, and he's not about to look a gift moogle in the mouth.

[Turning his attention to Xion then, he tilts his head.]

So how long have you been here, anyway? [And back to Roxas.] It's a little ironic that you guys were the ones to arrive first--I'm supposed to be the one showing you guys the ropes!

[whereibelong]

Yeah, Munny won't work here. I got a job though, so I could... see if I could pay for it.

[She's not sure if she has enough, because... more than anything, she's never been furniture shopping before. How much did furniture cost anyway?]

Fitting it in here would still be a problem, though.

[To Roxas' question, and Axel's reply, she nods]

Yeah... I remember about the same he does... though maybe a little less.

[Still, though, Axel's right. There are some things... some that might be awkward, with Roxas knowing so little, not having experienced certain very important things. But he was there, he remembered her, he was still him. That was the most important part.]

I've been here for about a month, now. Roxas hasn't been here that long.

[It's still the longest she's ever been away from them since before they deserted, as Axel'll probably recall]
