Roxas is swinging through the park on his way back from picking up more ice cream to replace the boxes Axel managed to go through practically on his own. Having run into Saix himself, it's not hard to guess what's stressing his friend out, even though neither of them has really said anything about it.

He doesn't realize Axel left the apartment in his absence until he hears the peeping and splashing, and follows the path to the pond. At first he just stands there, smiling as he watches his friend with the birds, but then the little yellow chocobo comes nipping at his pants leg as though trying to tug him over.

"Hey, little guy," he says fondly, bending down to give the bird a nice scratch.
