She froze when he came out, staring at him from under her hood. What had she done to make him want to go after her like this? was he about to attack? She didn't have her Keyblade, she could barely use her magic... and the one spell she had back wasn't really good for use indoors. She pressed herself further against the wall, braced for an attack.

She hadn't expected words. So it took her a moment to process.

It very much was panic. And her shoulders hunched. "Whatever I did to upset you, I'm sorry, okay. You can just forget you ever saw me." And then she winced at her own words. She was past that. She had succeeded. But in the far of the moment the words she had been saying her whole first month here came out. Oddly... before she knew she had succeeded, the thought that he was about to cut her down would have been a relief, now that she knew she had pulled it off? Whatever small fraction of an existence she had... she wanted to keep.

Axel had a heart now, and he'd be hurt if she was snuffed out. She had to keep going for him. And for the chance that she could help find Roxas.
