Characters: Zexion, open
Setting: Dorm 1-08 → Floor Three → Dining hall
Format: Action brackets to start, following with either
Summary: Zexion arrives, sniffs around, hits the library, sniffs some more, then eats oatmeal.
Warnings: None

[Zexion awakes, waits for the sleep paralysis to pass, reads the letters, then promptly prepares himself with the trunks' possessions and departs for the third floor. A multitude of scents assault his nose on the way. There are many in the Tower; some are familiar, including a few whose names are on the tip of his tongue, but most are new. He proceeds with care and caution so as to avoid being seen.

Seating himself before a network terminal deep on the third floor, he burrows into the backlogs. Never mind the books. It's imperative that he learn as much as possible while unable to utilize the Corridors of Darkness to a worldly extent, and the library provides a more private atmosphere than the halls of the dormitory. A great deal of time passes. He reads and listens in silence, pausing for the heavier information to sink in as he balances the new-found knowledge. Certainly, with all this rich (yet unreliable) information floating around in public, he can inwardly justify the impossible presence of certain scents and why some seem different. Even his.

He spares an hour or two for the bookshelves and finds nothing of significant worth.

Then he's back on the first floor, seated so casually in a corner of the dining hall, bowl of oatmeal in tow, that he appears inconspicuous upon initial glance, except he's anything but with his dark style of dress and flat expression.

[Riku just raises an eyebrow, because really. Zexion can't possibly think that he cares one bit about the effectiveness of his mindgames. He is simply 'speaking his piece' as the other had put it, so that if Zexion finds himself facing the business end of the Soul Eater, he'll know exactly why that is.

There is still the that knot in his gut twisting, because he knows it can't possibly that easy, he knows better than to think that he threats will be enough to keep Zexion in check. Zexion fights with words not violence, and while continued exposure to the likes of DiZ has made him probably a little more prepared for that than he had been in Castle Oblivion, he knows better than to assume himself able to out-think this particular schemer.

That question is a trap; because for all that he can warn them, he can't control anyone's actions, much less Sora's, and both of them are so very vulnerable and very easily baited. He can't show any of the fear the thought of either of them walking into one of Zexion's traps causes, can't let that weakness show.

He snorts instead.]


Brushing you in the hallway is hardly 'coming of their own accord'.
