[There's a glint of something on it's collar, a name tag which reads 'Winner.' And Sora slowly realizes... he's seen this cat before. Wasn't this one of Roxas and Xion's pets?
Its owner soon comes sprinting around the corner and into the rather empty street corner where Sora's standing. Strewn at his feet are various items and valuables, but he doesn't seem to have much interest in them.]
Axel? [He's not disheveled so much as uncharacteristically casual (Where are his shoes?), and Sora temporarily lets his guard down. Just enough for the cat to get one good bite out of his arm before he's dropping it right onto the ground. Naturally it lands on its feet, scampering right to Axel and to safety. That about makes Sora feel ten times better. Only not.
Ow. Did it really have to bite him?
If he looked miffed at the cat before, it doesn't last long. Afterward, he just looks ... tired. And worse for the wear. He's got smears of dried blood along his cheek, his hair is more unruly than any self-respecting villain or manipulator would have it, and he probably looks about as intimidating as a wet cat. It's certainly not the picture Axel might have had after he'd heard about Vanitas from his friends.]
Sorry.
[He's said that a lot today. Despite his appearance, there's plenty enough energy left in him to look a apologetic, but wary. Like he's just waiting for a sign that Axel's going to march right up to him and box his ears.]
They've been taking stuff that doesn't belong to them all day. [A tired huff.]
