[ there's the little pet name, just sliding in casually - a little patronizing, a little sweet, all teasing, as he taps his notebook and lets axel look it over. ]
It was. He confessed to me the next day when I confronted him about it - he lined up with all of the evidence as expected. Truthfully, I cottoned onto him as her killer fairly quickly, but at the end, I was more focused on trying to solve Satan's, and it seemed like the Captain had it handled. Obviously, that was not the case.
[ re: reigen. she. obviously did not, considering reigen did not get voted for, but, that cookie crumbled weeks ago, so, he doesn't spend much more time on it. ]
And that is a fair point. [ re: brutality. ] It isn't impossible. Perhaps something to keep in mind...
[ though, he trails off, distracted by axel's bright excitement. his expression changes - shifts into something a little fond, and he props his chin in his hand. ]
So it is. Goodness, but I hope that isn't a bad sign...
[ don't joke about that you'd be so upset if a single hair on axel's head was harmed ]
[ Axel doesn't seem to mind the pet name. 'Dear' isn't such a bad nickname, sending the other man a cheeky smile after he gives that one in turn. I'm sorry. ]
Personally, I considered the thought he killed one of the two, but I can't say I knew who for sure.
[ Seeing as Temenos doesn't linger long on the subject, he doesn't see the point in lingering too hard on that either. At least they could possibly be in agreement with the brutality, so simply a nod there. Though, he begins to look thoughtful again, before a bit of amusement arrives too. He probably shouldn't be talking about this lightly, but... ]
Well, it wouldn't be the first time somebody wants me hurt for sure, if it was. I have a habit of screwing up villains' plans just by existing. But, it could also be a good sign too. Like that I'm so cool my name pops up on a crossword.
[ honeybunches gets a brief look, an eyebrow raise of really, but he lets it go otherwise, instead focusing down on the crossword. ]
Hmm... [ thoughtful. ] Likely the former. [ wow. rude.
but, he smiles a bit, tilting his head back, clearly amused. ] You and I have that in common. That's how I came about my nickname, derogatory as it may be.
[ ""the hound"" and all ] But do try to avoid getting hurt in the future, yes? We've not much time left, so don't trip at the finish line.
[ Axel looks oh-so-proud of himself, perhaps unsurprisingly so. ]
...Hey now.
[ Saying that gently in the face of Temenos' rudeness, which only seems to amuse Axel. Perhaps he is rather proud of his plan-disruptive status.
And that he shares this commonality with Temenos to boot. Funny how things work, eh? ]
Derogatory, huh? Well, I'm going to say people are pretty much jealous that we're good at kicking tail and taking names. [ Wink. ] But, I'll do my best to not do much tripping; I wouldn't look cool doing exactly that.
[ Oh, but this is a fine time for a memory to pop up (stops at 3:22), because someone seems to think why not one more for the road? Though, this gets Axel to simply shake his head with a snort in almost disbelief. It's a little embarrassing but it's not a bad memory by his estimation. ]
[ temenos is just as proud of his own - and frankly, he also likes that axel's the same. they're both naughty which is why they're both rabbits.
and he's going to say something else, maybe even something a little fond, but, oh! then the memory starts.
... first of all, his hair. second of all, this entire memory is very, very charming, from start to finish. the fact that he clearly gets his butt kicked by his new friend, the easy friendship between him and the one called isa, and the fact that despite all that he's been through, in temenos's estimation, he really hasn't changed.
he's smiling when it's over, chin propped in his hand, clearly full of mischief. cute... ]
My, my. A battle well fought. [ don't bully him ] That's your friend you snuck into the castle with?
[ It's truly one of the hallmark traits of being a bunny for sure.
Anyway, some things truly don't change. Which, perhaps, for Axel, might be a bit incredible even if he might not see it as such.
At the little bit of teasing, Axel is not even surprised. So, what does he do? Take refuge in audacity. ]
Thanks, I totally kicked butt so hard you can say that it was only a matter of time. [ Crying ] But, yeah. That's Isa. As you can say he's the more serious guy, though he's still got his unique brand of sense of humor.
...Something tells me you'd probably get along well with him, not gonna lie.
