[croceamors]

Who: Saix, Maka, Axel, Rin, and Kid
When: Not too long after the Station Master's meeting
Where: Saix's house
Style: Whatever you want
Status: Closed

It was foolish to think he had such an abundance of time, honestly. Now they have to rush things. For someone like Saix, it isn't exactly preferable. Still, he's made his calls- one to Maka and one to Axel- so now all he has to do is wait.

New Moon seems to sense something is off, cuddled up against his master and being strangely quiet.

"Yo."

That would be boyfriend number one, lifting a hand in greeting without much of an expression to go with it. He was worried, but doing everything he could to keep that emotion below the surface. He didn't want to complicate this more than he already had.

Other hand in the pocket of his faded blue hoodie, tail out and low to the ground, he stood on one side of Maka with Kid on the other. A sword in a red silk case was on his back, but he had no intentions of using it for any reason. Carrying it was just habit for him.

"I trust you won't mind the additional support."

This coming from their newly-ascended third, one hand placed at the small of his back, posture ramrod straight and terribly proper, the other now extracting itself from where it had clasped Maka's hand. Unlike Rin, Kid was visibly unarmed, and took note of both of the other men present with a certain stoicism.

"We won't interfere in these proceedings unless we must."

It's no surprise that Axel, once again, refuses to show any common courtesy. It also shows how aggravated and nervous Saix is that he doesn't call the other man out on it. He just glances to him, lips thin as he keeps scratching at his dog's fur. "I don't see why I wouldn't be," he replies. It's a lie, but it's one he can't help give right now. Honestly the knock at the door is a relief, and Saix gently pushes New Moon off his lap so he can go answer. The dog trots off somewhere upstairs as Saix opens the front door.

...Well, this is a larger party than he was expecting.

"As long as they don't get in the way," he mutters, stepping aside so the three of them can come inside. "Is this going to be the same as before?"

Dude, you used to barge into his room all the time back in the Organization. You have no damn right to complain.

Seated with one leg crossed over the other and elbow propped up onto an armrest Axel waits patiently and silently, his eyes occasionally scanning the room though focusing more on the door than anything else. He just wants to know what this whole thing will entail... and more importantly if it will truly work.

So when he hears that knock he suddenly holds his breath with anticipation. Seeing three people come in doesn't seem to settle his nerves either. Rather than say something about it, he stays as he is, his eyes focused on the three with clear caution. At least he knows Rin... That much he can relax about.

"Yes."

She says it without hesitation, but pauses once she's in the room, glances around. "...We might need to sit down, though."

Without hesitation (geez, didn't anybody teach this girl to ask before doing something?) Maka kneels onto the floor and stares up at Saix expectantly.

"I'm going to connect with your soul again, purify that wavelength that's trying to hurt you and draw out your real soul."

Maka sounds calm and casual about it, certainly, but in truth she's worried that she might not be able to do it. She's never actually tested her limits without the aid of Soul along with her...but Soul is not here, he hasn't been for a long time, and she's quite aware that she can't just cower and worry about possibilities of being harmed. Especially not when the safety of another soul is in question. Sure, she and Saix weren't friends, but that brief brush with his soul instilled some odd sense of a "bond" in her, the person that Saix was--no, is--waiting in the dark for someone to find him again.
