Well-

[It shouldn't be, but.]

...I didn't think you liked anything.

[God he hates the people he used to work with.]

I imagine this would come as a surprise to many of you, but I did in fact have interests outside paperwork.

How am I supposed to know? It's not like you let anyone get to know you.

It should be common sense. Besides, you were all to be busy with your missions. There wasn't any time for socializing.

There wasn't a lot of time, but there was some.

Not for me.

[When it wasn't the paperwork needed to keep track of and fill out and send to Xemnas, he'd had his own plans that needed careful watching. He needed to try and keep track of what the other members were up to, plot how to keep the most dangerous ones out of the way. He had to make plans with Axel. 'Free time' was a myth.]

[Saix you workaholic.]

...were you- jealous?

I can't be jealous. Besides, what was there to be jealous of?

[yes he was totally jealous and is still in denial of it, sssh]

Having friends?

[He at least half-believes Saix because it's Saix. But hey, he just found out the guy likes dogs, so maybe he does feel things besides lineface and berserk.]

People who call themselves that can't be trusted.

[His mind, without a fail, wanders to a stupid little glow up star thing that's now in his house. He really should just get rid of it. Maybe another dog will want it.]

Yes, they can.

Sometimes they screw up is all.

After a certain number of mistakes, of screw ups, they don't deserve anymore chances.

I don't know what happened with you guys, but- Axel's a good friend.

[Just a moment of silence as he crosses his arms.]

...He's a good liar, as well. Something to keep in mind.

I kinda figured that one out on my own.

Then you're quicker than most of us gave you credit for.

[Well, this certainly has been a conversation. Saix doesn't look like he's going to say much else, but then-]

Twenty five.

[Roxas gives him a flat look that melts into confusion.]

Twenty--?

[Oh. Oh. Yep that sure is the color draining from his face.]

Y-you're kidding, right? [Does Saix know how to kid?]

Ah, so now I am capable of engaging in jokes?

[Ignore the brief sadistic smirk that flickers across his face. Roxas, question why you helped this guy out again]

[Because he's been spending too much time with Sora. That has to be it.]

S-sure. But maybe you're just... really... bad at it.

Fair enough.

But I still have made a bid.

_{[Was that--Oh hell naw, he thought he recognized that hair from that booth. It probably wouldn't have set him off the way it was right now if it hadn't clicked that he was by Roxas.

Things didn't really go too well with those two if his memory served him right. Oh jeeze, what if something starts up? It couldn't hurt to investigate, right? It's not like Saix could scare him anymore, right? He wasn't really his superior anymore!]}

What in Light's name are you doing up here? Rox, you okay?

_{[He's dead. He... Is going to die. Faris, take care of Athena when he's buried up to his eyebrows in the sand!]}

[Roxas doesn't know if he's more relieved or worried to have Demyx there. He has no idea how Saix will react to him. But, Demyx wasn't a traitor, right? Maybe he'll be kind of okay with him?]

Y-yeah, I'm okay.

[Aside from the fact that...]

Saix bid on me.

[The biggest problem Saix has with Demyx is that he is a slacker and he wrote the worst reports out of the entire Organization, so, really, not as bad as it could be. He is the third person to ask why he's at a festival, however, and Saix is starting to look faintly disgruntled.]

Recon. I'll have you know we were having a perfectly civil conversation.

[About dogs and festival and maybe Axel. No comment on the bidding thing. What, it's true after all.]

I'm not talking about the festival, Saix. I mean what're you doing here?

_{[...Wait. Did he just hear that right? Saix bid on Roxas? During a date auction?

Okay, just breathe, Demyx. Breathe. It's nothing to go all Triton on.]}

...How much did he put down?

[He's got himself a slushy and a bag full of toys from his dart game, so he's having a lovely time right now, he'll have you know. Well, as much as he could be having before he ran into a certain someone.

... And now here he has to go running into him again.

At a date auction.

With Roxas and Demyx.

... Pay no mind to the Axel standing here with a dumbfounded face, pausing mid-slurp as he tries to make head or tails of this situation. Wh– Why.]
