"I don’t think that’ll be a problem, I always have been good at keeping people’s attention on me, I mean really, since when have I been good at sneaking anyways?" He chuckles quietly, almost laughed outright. Certainly years ago it had been far from what he was good at, but now? Why, he had long since learned to manipulate and sneak about—not as well as Xigbar, but well enough to cause the elimination of half the Organization’s number at one point. Something he was sure Saix would learn to be just as capable of—if not better at it.
He falls silent for a long while—until their icecreams were completely finished. He twists the blank stick in his hand. “Isa,” he eventually says “Things are going to get hard, once the keyblade wielder appears. We won’t have room to make mistakes. Both of us.. we might change. But I want you to know, that you’ll always be.. my very best friend.” He smiles a barely there smile “Got it memorized?”
It was a mutual understanding of sorts, Saix thought. Although he could argue about Axel's abilities, remembering Lea to be one who knew how to at least try to sneak. Then again, he always got caught. But so did Isa. At least now Saix had enough power to silence most that got in his way, even if thinking like that was dangerous for reasons unknown to him. Deciding to bite back commentary he would dig his teeth into the ice cream instead, contemplating how they were going to operate. There was a plan that had to be made, they just needed a little time.
To hear Axel talk so solemnly was worrisome in itself - but it sounded like he was giving some sort of dying declaration. "I already know all that." he said in an attempt to show some emotion, even if all he had was a pain gripping into the empty cavern of his chest. While the former was something he speculated, and assumed Axel was too, but the latter. He would not doubt the latter. "And you're mine, too. So don't go doing something too stupid and getting yourself killed before we get our hearts back. No matter how hard it gets. Getting our hearts back is why we're here. I won't let the 'Superior' get in the way of that." and they would get Lea's eyes back too, somehow.
