Axel has never minded the snow. Even as a child he had usually been that crazy kid who went out in just jeans and a sweatshirt and he was fine, and whether that was what influenced his elemental capabilities later in life, or was a result of latent power he would later grow into, he isn't sure, but either way, the cold never bothered him, anyway. He's opted out of any weird air bubble jewelry, because he doesn't like the idea of anything reading his thoughts, however reassuring the sales pitch may be. Axel has managed to survive this long on being unpredictable, and anything having the ability to read his mind gives him the heebie jeebies.

Here he sits on a bench, just sort of taking in this strange city of ice and snow, and though his nose and ears may be a little pink from the cold, he's perfectly comfortable. So when someone appears abruptly beside him and takes his hands to deposit a cup in them, he's startled to say the least. He's been vaguely aware of the people around him, of course, but nothing set off any danger senses, so he's less concerned that this person is a threat and more just startled by the sudden invasion of personal space. She has a soft, kind voice, though, and he starts to tell her he's fine, but when he looks up he just stops short. His eyes widen and his jaw slides slightly ajar as he takes in the white-blond hair and the big blue eyes, and for a moment all he can do is stare.

"Na... miné?" he asks softly, more baffled than anything else. This is a grown woman, for starters, but he knows that Sora and Riku are both from a time in the future. Is the resemblance a coincidence, or is this actually Naminé from some distant future beyond what any of them have experienced?
