Evening Dinner Puzzle
Who: Zexion & Cadence (Riku Replica)
Where: Zexion's apartment, Pendilium, floor 1, room 6
When: Later in the night after this
Style: Any
Status: Ongoing
After the arrangements had been made for his meeting with Caden, Zexion had gone out to get supplies with which to make a meal large enough to feed two decently. That part was simple enough, as was the fixing of it. Keeping Bast out of the fish and shrimp however proved to be the most challenging part of the coming evening, especially since she was still small enough it seemed to manage to squirm out of his bedroom, via the crack between the bottom of the door and his floor.
Hopefully, Caden would be prompt in his arrival, else he might end up finding half of the food already claimed by the determined feline.

Close enough to being on time, he knocked at the door. "It's me, Zexion, open up."
He then promptly took a step back, right hand at his side in a faint twitch, but he clenched it tight. Even he knew better than to summon his keyblade just then. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.
no subject
When Zexion opened the door, it might be a small surprise to see the man isn't in the usual black org coat 'n uniform, but in a white long sleeve button-up shirt and jeans, with simple slip-on shoes. He's also currently holding his kitten prisoner in one hand, to keep it from escaping back toward the counter where the food awaits.
He stepped back out of the way, still holding the door open as he spoke. "Hello, Caden. Please, come in."

Entering the room, he looked around and was surprised at how normal it all looked. He knew plenty about the Organization's members, but this was... surreal to say the least.
He looked over at the table spread. "So talk while we eat or what? You're the host so you tell me."
no subject
Bast sniffed at the new arrival's shoes and pant leg hem before abruptly deciding to attempt scaling this new challenge which had entered her domain.
Leading the way over to the bar serving as their table, Zexion pulled a stool to rest on the other side of it, and placed the food on it between the plates and silverware already set out on it. "We can eat while we talk, just don't try to talk with your mouth full, please."
no subject
"Yeah, sure... if I get to eat at all." He walked over and sat down at the table, which was reason enough for the kitten to settle in his lap. "I'm so glad I have a dog instead," he mumbled while scanning the food and sniffing as surreptitiously as possible.
That alone might be pique Zexion's interest as a conversation opener, saving Caden the question directly.
no subject
"You've got a dog? What breed if I might ask?"
no subject
"I'd thought if I just kept far enough away from you all I wouldn't have to deal this anymore." Not that Zexion would care about that, he knew, but it was a grumble that made it past his filter. "Did you tell the rest of the Organization about me?"
no subject
"I've had no reason to bother doing so, yet." Re: It serves no purpose to out your actual identity to them, so he'll hold onto that card until it becomes useless to him or he sees a point where it can be played to his benefit.
no subject
He ate a few more bites. "But you do have a reason for bothering to ask me what happened at the castle - the parts I can still remember, anyway." He grimaced a little; he had no way of knowing if Zexion was involved in the process of making him think he'd been Riku or not. He could still be pretending and that worried Caden immensely. He had no way of knowing one way or the other - no power he'd gained could tell him that.
no subject
"The last event I recall from before arriving here is Axel killing Vexen. What I know is the mission against Sora failed, and everyone involved in that mission save Axel died, or so I've been told. So now you know how much I'm aware of, what can you tell me to help fill in the left over blanks? Do you know how everyone else save Axel died?" Of course there was a few things he'd left out of that pat summary, but the replica didn't need to know about his own plans or that he'd known the younger trio had definitely been up to something beyond their given mission.
no subject
It was starting to bring back the question of something Sora had mentioned just after Vexen's death, in fact - that Vexen being gone should have changed things. Xehanort too had told him that he hadn't been directly responsible... did that mean...
"My turn for a question-" His face screwed up into one of deep thought; did he really want the answer after he'd tried putting all of this to rest? "What was Vexen's role in your mission?"
no subject
He paused and after a moment posed another question of his own. "Do you know of how Lexaeus died by chance?"
no subject
A guilty conscience indeed, for needing to state that, standing before a man he did kill, strange as that truth was to consider. However, that did only leave one person, unless it was Axel again, and the other person was more likely.
"Before that is no memory of my own," he opened his eyes fully again, "as you know."
