3rd Day [Text]

[seasaltkeys]

[He's been thinking about this a lot. Since he got over the shock of the mansion showing up, and since people started returning from it unscathed. He's not sure if that's a good thing or not, since he doesn't know if he'll go through the same thing.

But at some point he needs to know. Deep down, he knows he can't keep running. At least this time, it's his choice, and he's not being forced into anything.


He's off by himself, keeping things to text in an effort to stay anonymous, though who knows how effective that will be.]

How do you deal with something that's bothering you?

[That should be vague enough.]

[earthshatter]

I'm afraid it's simply part of life.

[seasaltkeys]

So what would you do?

[earthshatter]

It would depend on the nature of the problem, I suppose.

[seasaltkeys]

There's. There's a place I have to go. But I don't know if I should go there.

[earthshatter]

The abandoned mansion?

[seasaltkeys]

[Long pause. How'd he guess so easily?]

Y.

[earthshatter]

[Educated guesses.]

Would it help to talk about it?

[seasaltkeys]

I'm going to try to.

[earthshatter]

Take your time.

[seasaltkeys]

You want to help?

[earthshatter]

Would you want my help?

[seasaltkeys]

Depends on who you are.

[earthshatter]

Aeleus.

[seasaltkeys]

[The name doesn't ring a bell. And Roxas isn't about to solve any anagrams.]

Do I know you?

[earthshatter]

Ah... if the name is more familiar, I used to be known as Lexaeus.

[seasaltkeys]

You were part of the Organization.

[This comes after a pause as he has to place the name, and then the red flag goes up.]

[earthshatter]

Yes. I was.

[seasaltkeys]

Why would you help me then?

[earthshatter]

Because I see no reason to not offer my assistance, if you'd have it.

[seasaltkeys]

I dunno...

[earthshatter]

The choice is yours, but I mean you no harm.

[seasaltkeys]

Even though you're part of the Organization.

[earthshatter]

I was part of the Organization. I am not now who I was then.

[seasaltkeys]

Prove it.

[earthshatter]

I have... regained the heart that had once been lost to me. But if that is insufficient, than Ienzo and Even should also be willing to speak for me.
