Never taking such touch for granted, he is going to enjoy the warmth of holding his hand for as long as he can.
The way his response follows afterwards as well? Indicates that they've got some other similarities in their pasts, he imagines. Not a great commonality to share, though enough to make him wonder...how many times has Temenos been betrayed?
Axel doesn't let his own mind wander too far, otherwise he'd get too caught up in his head. ]
Hearing you say that means a lot. [ He chuckles a little at that, actually. ] If there's anyone I'd want to hear a word about in regards to this, it'd be you. Though, the true battle might be knowing where to start.
Not to be a downer, since it wasn't exactly an apocalyptic event.
[ Axel easily allows this; it feels so comfortable now. Natural.
Though, when Temenos uses the word 'downer', that nets an amused look from Axel, a chuckle even escaping him. ]
...Yeah, I guess it is.
[ A thoughtful look comes across his face, before nodding. ]
I guess I could tell you that when I was younger, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak into a whole entire royal castle and rope my friend, Isa, into coming along.
[ okay this is kind of funny. he turns his head up to look at him, keeping their hands loosely laced together, and his expression goes mischievous as he latches onto the new conversation topic with ease. ]
Oh? You, mischievous? Now, that I could never see.
[ there's an amused little light on his face - and truthfully, he's glad to see axel leaning into something a little more normal. a marked improvement from how upset he was when they first made it back to the dorm. ]

I think, perhaps after this weekend, being a 'downer' [ a funny word that comes out of temenos's mouth. ] is more than allowed.
Perhaps we can exchange stories - something a touch, ah. Apocalyptic, for something a bit lighter, to cleanse the palate. What do you think?

Temenos even teasing gets the red head to snort. ]
A rarity for me for sure.
[ He will take any levity right about now. Axel thinks he's also done well in conveying the things he wanted to speak in confidence anyway. ]
...Well, we actually got thrown out. A lot of times. [ ... ] Did I mention we tried this multiple times?
