Here's the next one! I can't believe summer is almost over now. When school starts, that means less time for fanfiction. Hope that I find time for this and my other stories...

Anyway, thanks a load to MonMonCandie, vienrider and Bond of Flame08 for reviewing!


25. Puzzle

Unknown to most, Xemnas loved to observe people and their activities. For example, he watched Lexaeus working on a disentanglement puzzle in the Grey Area during pre-mission time.

The puzzle came away solved in Lexaeus' hands with a deft twist of his fingers.

"May I try?" Xemnas was curious.

"Certainly, sir." Lexaeus handed over the tangled wires.

For a few minutes, he struggled with it.

"It's harder than it looks."

"I give up," Xemnas was tempted to wrench the thing apart, "How you solved it so fast is beyond me."

Lexaeus chuckled, one of his rare displays of emotion, "Practice."
