Zexion's eye twitches slightly as the door to the Organization's library is flung open. "What is it," he queries coolly, not bothering to turn around. There's only one member of the Organization who bothers with doors and slamming them. "Number Eight."
"The Superior said for me to see what the new kid's got as far as weapons and all," Axel says, and sounds faintly amused.
Zexion turns and Demyx tries to hide behind Axel, and with good reason. Number Nine had discovered his affinity for water in the library yesterday, and spent the rest of the day trapped inside Zexion's lexicon. "And?"
Axel's smirk doesn't fade in the least. "Aaaand, we're going to find some Heartless to fight. Wanna come? It's been a while since anyone's seen you fight."
The older Nobody scoffs. "I'll pass. What's the use in fighting against enemies who don't even see you?"
The firestarter is about to make some snide comment or other, but Demyx pipes up, "Hey, what's that supposed to mean? Heartless don't see us?"
Zexion settles back against a bookcase. "Heartless are after one thing only- hearts," he lectures somewhat patiently. "For the most part, they can see only that, and are just peripherally aware of their surroundings beyond that. Larger Heartless like Neoshadow and Wyvern can see a little more than just that, can distinguish between light and dark, though they don't need to."
Demyx seems only slightly less confused. "So what, they'd only see my heart floating in the air?"
Zexion looks at Axel sharply. "No one's told him yet what it means to be a Nobody?"
The newest Organization member steps forward and looks at Axel. "What's he talking about?"
Axel turns slightly to look at Demyx out of the corner of his eye. Zexion pretends he doesn't see the hint of regret in Axel's eyes, tells himself it's Axel just pretending to have a heart still because emotion is ruled by the heart.
"We're Nobodies, Demyx. The leftovers after a Heartless attacks. We have no hearts."
