Day 117; Secrets

Axel: Ever heard of knocking?
Saix: Tell me what Xion has been doing.
Axel: How should I know? I'm not spying on her.
Saix: ......? But the two of you are close.
Axel: So what, now I've gotta rat on my friends to you? Get out of my room, man.
Saix: You and Xion will be executing your next mission together.
Axel: Yes, sir, thank you, sir. You paid me a personal visit just to tell me that?
Saix: ...... We also need you to go back to castle Oblivion.
Axel: We, or you?
Saix: ...... That castle hasn't given up all its secrets. And there's one in particular Lord Xemnas is especially interested in.
Axel: You mean the chamber. We turned that place inside out. If it's there, we're not gonna find it by just looking.
Saix: Hmm... Then let me give you another incentive. Namine isn't the only one who can trace her beginnings to Castle Oblivion. Xion comes from there, too.
Axel: Huh?
Saix: Two of your favorite people. Still think another visit is a waste of time?
Axel: Hmph... Whatever. You're the one who wants me to go. Don't try and dress it up as a favor.
Saix: Hmph.
Axel" Let me guess... That chamber will tell you everything you don't know about Xemnas'd true agenda. Is that the idea?
Saix: The Chamber of Repose, and its antipode, the Chamber of Waking... Xemnas isn't telling us something. And the missing chamber, the Chamber of Waking—it holds all the answers. We need those answers to gain the upper hand—for our own reasons.
Axel: Hmm... Look, I knew Vexen and Zexion would be obstacles. That's why they're not here anymore. When have I ever complained about the dirty work?
Saix: .....
Axel: I cleared the way to the top for you. Just do me a favor and don't trip on the way up.
Saix: ...... A solo mission in Castle Oblivion... Expect the orders soon.
Axel: Namine... and Xion?

Demyx: Hey, man, you missed your amigos. Team Axel already left.
Roxas: Team Axel?
Demyx: Yeah, he and Xion teamed up for the day. Which means they get to work half as hard. Which is so totally unfair.
Xigbar: Today you get to work with me, tiger.
Roxas: Don't call me "tiger."
Xigbar: Hah! You like "kiddo" better? Or maybe you're mad because Poppet got the best nickname?
Roxas: Ugh, never mind.
Xigbar: Today we get to go explore a new world together. Pack up, tiger, and let's get moving.
