"Vexen's.." [Recognition flashes in Axel's eyes at the mention of replicas. So much really did lead back to that secondary castle. Or maybe just to whatever experiments Organization XIII did in general. They sure did a number on everything they touched.
He tries to remember all the pieces of memory he has of those particular white walls.
Right down to carrying Roxas out of the place the moment they entered it for something. It kind of hurts his head just thinking about it.
Or maybe that's just the brainfreeze from forgetting to finish the bite he was taking.
Roxas looks like he's starting to get choked up, though. This isn't the time or place to dwell on unhappy or confusing things. Not today.]
"Hey. Nevermind all that."
[Forget the who's, the why's, the how's a moment.]
"What was she like. Xion, as a person?" [He puts on a reassuring smile.]
[The question almost catches Roxas off guard. But in a welcome way. In a way that doesn't mean he has to admit to that final battle between them. Before their reunion.
He takes a breath, and manages to smile.]
She...yeah, we did.
She's kinda shy at first, but when you get to know her, she's really fun. It's like, you never know which side of an argument she's gonna agree with until the last moment.
Hanging out together was always fun. Even if it was just eating ice cream on the clocktower.

"She must have been pretty special."
[Axel shakes his head, amending the thought.
No. Is someone pretty special. He'll get her back. Even if it's just his own thoughts of her.]
"And who knows, maybe there are other leviathans out there who deal more with memories."
[He polishes off the rest of the snack, thoughtfully twirling the stick.]
"It's something to keep an eye out for."

Yeah, maybe. We'll figure out a way for you to get those memories back.
They're important, trust me.
