nxtzero liked for a starter!

Undivided attention bestowed upon his peer equipped with two finely sharpened daggers. The swordsman hid his presence in the silence that shrouded his footsteps. For a new recruit in Class Zero’s pre-established affiliation, he took a fondness to his ally. It was tragic, however, that the timing couldn’t have been any worse. The struggle of his unpredicted rebirth as a L’cie destroyed his persona. Deteriorated perception was a price he independently set in order to sway his ally’s curious minds of the negative effects. It was his only option.

It hadn’t been long since she had first become a member of Class Zero, but she had already been in quite a few battles with them. It had become quite clear during their last battle that getting them sharped was necessary- and that almost made her sad. Before, she hardly even had to clean her weapons, but now...

She jumped when she heard his voice- just how long had he been there?

“You’re right- daggers are my weapon of choice. As for telling you more... Well, I suppose it depends on what exactly you want to know.”

Roxas beamed at the news. A place to stay! This was great! “If it isn’t too much trouble?” He brought his hands together, looking at her pleading eyes. Roxas didn’t want to sleep out here, not anymore. People were starting to look at him weird and it made him uncomfortable. 

“I-Ill pay for my stay even!” He added and then reached into his cloak pocket and took out some of the currency he used back from where he was from. “I have lots of munny to spare.” Truth be told he did, Roxas wasn’t a big spender, not unless you placed a sea-salt ice cream stand in front of him.

Other than that, he took good care of his munny, always.

“Pay?” The proposition took her by surprise. It wasn’t like having him around would be a hardship, and she didn’t even pay to stay there herself. Taking money from him was completely out of the question. “That won’t be necessary, really. It’s not a big deal.”

If she had any doubts about offering him to stay with her, however, he had put an end to them. Her first impression of Roxas was that he seemed quite nice (and maybe just a little awkward?), and the fact that he offered to pay her only reinforced that in her mind.

{{ 龍 }}     “ And a very pleasure to meet you too, Rem.” The stoical face of the dragoon answered, with his posture remaining identical to previously. 

     The term Class Zero… it was quite recent to his ear. At least he was not pokey towards place where he belonged not to. As time passed, certainly that he would be able to learn from her, of the unfamiliar term he had heard of.      “ You may be right so, either trap or wandered into this world, it matters not now. What more important lies the future ahead of us, the ability to survive in here, would it not be way of looking of your current situation? Than sparing any negative thoughts on the lost of direction, in this world.”   

He wasn’t entirely wrong, now that she thought about it- she didn’t really know if they were trapped there or not, although it didn’t seem that it was likely that they had just wandered in. After all, couldn’t they find their way out if that was the case?

“Well... I suppose you’re right.” With a sigh, she clasped her hands in front of her chest. If she were being honest with herself, she would have admitted that she couldn’t see anything good about being stuck there. However, that was a subject for another time.

     Rem … ? What she is doing all alone in this late hour? Well, this could be right back at him. Nevertheless, he should check on her just in case. 

     The monk walked towards her and weaved so she would notice him.

         {𝓥ℐℐℐ} “ Hey … something wrong, Rem? “     

“Oh, well... I was just thinking, I suppose.” She was always thinking these days, and it wasn’t much of a secret who what was on her mind. That didn’t mean that she liked to point it out herself, however.

Roxas let out a sigh of relief when she displayed acceptance of his apology. He needs to seriously pay more attention next time, because maybe the next person he accidentally bumps into won’t be so forgiving and possibly start some type of trouble.

“Rem Tokimiya?” He repeated the name she had given to him. Quite a unique name, at least to him. “Nice to meet you, Rem.” He smiled and nodded to her. “My name’s Roxas. Kinda new here,” he decided to admit and then placed a hand behind his head, sotthing the spiky hair in a cheapish simplistic manner.

He’s been here for roughly two days already and he’s got nothing. All that he did understand was that there didn’t seem to be a way out of this place so he gave up for that search. He did, however, need a place to stay. This last day he’s been using a tree branch from a tree as a bed within the greens of the Crowned Kingdom lands. Which wasn’t very comfortable at all. “Rem.” he decided to address her by her name, he hoped she wouldn’t mind, “do you happen to know this place well? I kind of need to find a place to stay.” He admitted.

Roxas, huh? At first she found it strange that he didn’t offer a surname, but then thought of all of her friends who had never given one either. Maybe he didn’t have one, like them...?

“Well... I know a few parts pretty well, I guess.” For the most part, she had been sticking to the same few areas. It wasn’t necessarily that she didn’t want to go other places, just that she couldn’t find a reason to go anywhere.

“To tell you the truth, I’ve just been staying not too far from here... It was pretty empty when I found it, and no one told me I couldn’t stay there.” More like no one even knew she was there. There was never anyone else there but herself, and she had started to wonder if the place had been created for people like her to live in. After all, f anyone else lived there, surely they would have shown up by now.

( nxtzero liked for a starter! )

Roxas was so terribly lost. What was this place? Where was he? His eyes looked about from under his hood, to which concealed his face. Something seemed so different about this place but couldn’t quite put his finger on as to why. Would he maybe find something here? Something that’d help him answer the questions he had? He didn’t know and he wasn’t going to know if he just stood there.

Roxas went ahead and made his way through this new unknown land, feeling slightly awkward and out of place for the way he was dressed but he didn’t have anything else for attire. His attention was quickly averted  though, by the sound of cheering to which he looked in said direction and there he saw a few people forming a circle around two others who were trying to punch the lights out of each other.

Roxas watched the events unfold but continued to walk in the direction he was walking earlier. People try to harm each other for fun here? What was that about?

He was too focused on the fight at a fair distance from him that he didn’t notice the person who was walking his way. After the small impact Roxas held his hands up. “I-I’m really sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going,” he waved his hands. 

Fights, Rem had recently noticed, were not uncommon here. Initially upon her arrival, she hadn’t noticed them at all (but then again, she didn’t look around all that much when she first arrived), although as time went on it seemed like she saw fighting more and more often. It never seemed to be serious, however, and more often than not the winning party would help the loser patch themselves up. (Maybe it’s some sort of training session?)

She had been trying to see who was among the small crowd when she felt someone collide into her. The impact caused her to stumble a bit, and she turned to look at them. He seemed pretty apologetic, and she couldn’t help but smile a little. "Ah, it’s alright. No harm done.”

“Wellllllll no. I’ve never been on a date before so your guess is as good as mine.”

He scratched the back of his head and laughed a bit. Well wasn’t this a little embarrassing?

“Err we could just walk around and explore the place. Maybe have some dinner together?”

“You haven’t been on a date before?” She sounded more surprised than she had initially meant to. It was just... He was so charming, after all. As surprising as it was, however, it did help her feel a little more at ease, considering that it was a first for her as well.

“You know…my parents told me the same thing when I told them I wanted to Midgar and become part of SOLDIER. I didn’t listen, so why would I wanna start that now?”
