It took a while to adjust to the fact that they now had a female living in the castle.
For example, Axel and Demyx seemed to be pretty dense about the concept of Flirting With Larxene Is A Bad Idea. Poor Lexaeus and Zexion were the ones on shopping duty the first time certain feminine products were on the grocery list. And although Xaldin was pretty good about remembering to be dressed before leaving his room these days, Xemnas still tended to take a dagger or two to the head whenever Larxene came across him without attire.
Saïx was, ordinarily, a responsible and detail-oriented young man. Unfortunately, he was not a morning person, a trait which had only intensified after he became the Luna Diviner. This fact led to his forgetting that it was now important to notice which bathroom he was entering at 7:00 a.m. when he was still half-asleep.
A piercing scream echoed through the halls, drawing several Organization members into the corridor where it had originated.
"Did you hear that?"
"What's going on?"
"That was Larxene, wasn't it?"
Saïx came out of the bathroom again and leaned back against the door, his face completely blank except for a red slash that was startling to dribble down his cheek.
Axel came over, chewed and swallowed the last bite of his bagel, then pressed the napkin to Saïx's face, soaking up the blood. "Sai," he said gravely, though his eyes were twinkling. "That one's the ladies' room."
"There's a girl in there," Saïx said faintly.
"Yeah, we figured. Really, though - you should've known better, after last time."
"Last time?" Demyx piped up inquisitively.
Axel glanced over his shoulder. "Yeah, back in high school when someone switched the signs as a prank, and Isa-"
Saïx swiftly reached out to cover his mouth - too late, of course.
"This is the second time you've walked into a girls' bathroom?" Demyx exclaimed in delight.
"Nice," Xigbar laughed. "Whaddaya say about Number VII's Reputation Meter, Dem? Couple of notches up, or down?"
Demyx put on a decent imitation of Vexen's sciencey drone. "Well, considering the circumstances, likely intent, and comedic factor, as well as the subject's usual attitudes and behavior, I propose we award him a score of..."
Saïx had left long before they decided on the outcome.
