It's a strange thing, to talk to Riku and get straight answers even if they're to questions he didn't actually ask. Or maybe it's just strange to be talking to Riku at all, because conversation isn't something they've ever shared.
He waits for a moment after Riku's Keyblade is gone to dismiss his own. Whether that's to make a point or because he still doesn't trust the other boy isn't something even he could say for sure.
"Geez, he could have warned me," he grumbles. There's no way Axel didn't know—he's fond of a shortcut. Of course, so does Roxas, and that's why this is going to be a pain. How much shorter? He might have to experiment, but that's not an appealing prospect if they're going to dump him in places like this.
"Uh, thanks for telling me," he adds after a moment, and makes a move to pass Riku and head for the door. It's awkward and not a great way to abruptly end their first meeting here, even he knows that, but he'd thought he'd have time to prepare and figure out what he thinks of Riku before he had to talk to him.
