Evening Dinner Puzzle

[sechstel]

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.

Comments

A bit of tact was called for in answering that particular question. Thus he decided to be just as vague in his reply as the boy had been to him so far. "Vexen assisted both me and also Marluxia, though the latter was more to gain intelligence on Marluxia's movements on the floors above us. Part of that assistance was his testing of Riku's strength and your creation."

He paused and after a moment posed another question of his own. "Do you know of how Lexaeus died by chance?"

Caden sincerely thought about that awhile before answering. "I don't think I do. Axel and I were alone, before that you... and before that Marluxia, Larxene, and Vexen - no, wait..." He tried to piece it together again, furrowing his brow. "Lexaeus must have died after Larxene did, but before Marluxia. Sora went straight from Larxene to Marluxia, though - and it wasn't me who killed Lexaeus."

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."
