His opinion of this place improved exponentially when he discovered the trunk at the foot of the bed that contained clothing he was a bit more accustomed to. After making sure he was alone in the room and peeling the ridiculous white monstrosity off, he quickly fumbled into his usual getup and found himself ten times less disconcerted. Adjusting the zipper on the front of his coat, Axel peered around the room with a frown. Dorms? Hell had dorms? Where in all the worlds was he? Well, at least whoever else was supposed to be bunking with him wasn't around to see his moment of panic. He never would have lived that down.

He took a moment to summon his chakrams, just to make sure they were still there. Thankfully, they heeded his call and he breathed a bit easier. Maybe this wouldn't be so difficult after all. Maybe this wasn't Hell--he was pretty sure Hell wouldn't do him the courtesy of providing wardrobe and weapons. Wherever he'd been sent by Saïx's last attack, if Saïx thought he'd be rid of him that easily he had another thing coming. Old friend or not, Axel was inclined to go give him a piece of his mind.

Well, maybe better to figure out where he was, first. Using portals when one didn't know where one was didn't sound like a good idea. Best to at least have a grasp of Point A before attempting to find Point B. Dismissing his weapons (he could call them back at the drop of a hat, after all), Axel turned and moved toward the door, carefully opening it to peer out into the hallway. There didn't seem to be anyone in the immediate vicinity, so he supposed it was safe to venture out. His guard up, his eyes alert, Axel stepped out into the corridor, closing the door behind him, his senses keen to all the new sights and sounds around him. First unitards, then dormitory beds... there really was no telling what sorts of things this place would throw at him next.

[Eyeroll. Yeah wow, major sibling complex.] Then I guess it's good I didn't say it after all.

[A soft sigh--this girl really needs to learn to relax a little--and he puts his hands on his hips.] Well if you're in such a hurry then by all means, lead the way. [He supposed he could be arsed to help her look for her brother; he was scoping out the area anyway.]

[knifehands]

Fine.

[ and she did, leading the way down the hall ]

I was in a weird room earlier.

[Aaaand he'll just fall into step flanking her, half a step behind and slightly to her left. Close enough to maintain the conversation, but never directly beside or completely behind her. Someone in his line of work knows to never walk in a stranger's blind spot; it tends to make them nervous, and nervous people do irrational things.]

A weird room? I thought you said you were in a dorm. [Not that that isn't a bit odd, but he wouldn't exactly have called the room itself weird.]

[knifehands]

This was before.

[ she keeps walking ]

When I walked inside the room, it was sunny and there were flowers.

[got_it_memorized]

Before you were in the dorm? [He scratches his head and makes a bit of a face. If they wake up in the dorms, then is she talking about a dream? Now he's just confused.] Where was this?

[knifehands]

One of the floors, not sure which one.

There were a few other people there as well, annoying ones.

[got_it_memorized]

[He has a feeling you find anyone who isn't your brother annoying.]

What sort of other people? People like us, who were brought here, or people who like... lived here all along? [Were there natives?]
