Axel knew he had done well in introducing those two to one another. They both seemed rather thrilled. Excellent, then.

“Well, Demyx, if everything elsewhere is butterflies and roses, we should get going and get Lenne auditioned,” Axel said. Coming from Demyx, everything being fine elsewhere meant that several things were going wrong. And if Demyx wasn’t picking up the slack, that meant the blame (and the punishment) would filter to the next responsible person, and that just happened to be him. Wonderful. Sometimes the ranking system could stand to be done away with entirely.

Haven’t you seen how the attendance at that venue has dropped lately? We need to give people a cause to return, and I think I’m looking at that cause right now.” He nodded to Lenne. “So if you two are done with your introductions, let’s get on a train now.” To hurry things along, Axel took the first few steps away from the group, going towards the station. “During the trip, I think Lenne could show us some of those legendary video-things, right?”
