Axel was right and he knew it too. It didn’t matter what Saix said or believed. Number VIII believed it in his non-existance that the bluenet male still cared somewhere, deep down in the depths of his brain. “Flattering is what I do best.~” Speaking in that tone of his that, apparently, unimpressed the other greatly, he tilted his head. Hues focused and clicked together; eyes shifted from one to the other, examining the colors of them. Amber and emerald.

Through his attempts, it looked to be he still failed which is usually what ends up happening in the end. But what everyone doesn’t know is that Axel honestly won. Despite his ex-friend speaking to him in such manners, as if he was a piece of trash on the side of the road, he kept his smile. Saix wouldn’t damper his mood. Not at all.

Nobodies felt nothing, and regret was certainly within those parameters. Cutting the ties between them was something he simply could not feel remorse for. He knew what it meant, and perhaps knew what it felt like at some point. Pinpointing emotions in someone else was far easier, far more natural than trying to discern ones he could no longer feel. It was like phantom sensation after a limb was lost. Though gone, sometimes it could be felt as if the part lost was still there, had never been severed from the body. Except, in this case, the phantom sensation was triggered by others. And it could not actually be felt by the Nobodies; they could just tell which emotion was what. It was therein where having such knowledge could be used as an advantage if correctly applied.

Regardless, Axel had made his choice, and so had he. Saïx wouldn't make the same mistake twice. He wouldn't let Axel back in now that he'd cast him out.

Saïx looked away after Axel moved to stand near him, his gaze now directed at a barren wall. "I would have informed you sooner, had you not blathered nonsense." Saïx, being the no-nonsense and straightforward Nobody that he was, should have been finished with giving out the details of the assignment, should have been long gone from Axel's room. But this was Axel, and nothing ever quite went by regulation in regard to him. Being professional clearly wasn't something Axel could ever pull off in his lifetime.
