"Larxene?"
Roxas somewhat recognized that name. But if he were in the Organization at one point, it would make sense. He got out of his fighting position but didn't withdraw his keyblade. He wasn't THAT trusting.
"Well what do you want?"
He said it less bitterly than the other things, she didn't look like she was going to attack him or anything, so he settled down a little bit.

At Namine's statement Larxene quirked a brow. "Sora has a nobody?" Then it came to her. Larxene had heard mention of an extra member who was going to be inducted some time later. An extra member with a keyblade. "So, you're the one I heard all the fuss and roumors about? Well, you can relax dear. I've had a sure-death experience and I don't intend on fighting anyone right now, especialy one of my own. You could call me one of the...'Good Guys' now." She smiled, a smile that was for once free of malice or sarcasm.

Naminé frowned, finding this hard to believe. She looked at Larxene for a moment, then sighed and nodded.
"Okay then," she said with a small smile. "And yes, he was the cause of the fuss...and still is...though now it's more Sora than he..."
She let out a small breath, closing her eyes and trying to relax a bit. After a moment, she opened them.

"Good guys, huh?"
Roxas withdrew his keyblade and looked Larxene in the eye. He hated being so suspicious, but he couldn't help it. He had no reason to trust anyone lately. But she did seem sincere enough...
"Well don't turn on your word."
Roxas turned slowly back to Namine and whispered to her.
"Do you think she's serious? Do people really just change like that over night?"
He trusted Namine's opinion more than anyone's right now. Even more than his own.

Larxene sighed. It wasn't like she could blame them. When someone who you don't know or someone that you know -too- well just shows up in front of you claiming to be on your side, it looks very suspicious. For once, however, Larxene was serious. No plots, schemes, or hidden agendas. It felt freeing, honestly; the helping of others instead of the manipulating of them. "Well, what's the verdict?" she asked after a little while.

Always the optimist, Naminé sighed and mulled over the 'verdict' for a moment. She then looked at Larxene, her gaze turning to Roxas when she spoke.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to trust her," she mumbled. "And yes, if they go through enough trauma, I do believe they can change..."
She placed a smile on her face so as to reassure Roxas.

Roxas smiled back to Namine. She was right. Anyone could change and he should know best. He was a totally different person at one time, and that changed overnight...literally! Roxas turned back to Larxene, his speech directed at both Namine and Larxene.
"You're right. No use in making enemies for no reason."
Roxas held out his hand to Larxene.
"Let's start over then?"

Larxene nodded, reaching out to shake his hand firmly. "I already have, dear." Her eyes met his in a steady gaze for what seemed like a long time before she broke the handshake and sighed contentedly. "Well, now that that's settled...where are you two headed? This place is a bit cold for me, personally." She pulled up her hood once more, rubbing her hands over her ears to warm them.
Giving Roxas the once over, she seemed to become lost in thought for a moment. Larxene then extended her palm toward him, bathing his body momentarily in a soft yellow glow. He'd probably feel tingly for a moment as the new ability was awakened within him.
Roxas learned Thunder. ;D
"Make good use of that spell, I find it wonderfully usefull."

Roxas felt a sudden tingle over his body...at first he was afraid, but when he realized what it was, he was stunned. She gave him an ability! Magic! He was grateful, that's for sure.
"Uh..thanks!"
He turned to Namine and pointed towards the town.
"We're going there, right? Hopefully it's warmer."

/W00T!/
Naminé smiled at the action, looking at Larxene with a bit more trust. "We were going to see what was in town," she replied, nodding towards the small village ahead. "You may join us if you wish." She offered Larxene a stronger smile before walking forward a bit.

"No problem dear. As far as going with you goes, why not? I'd probably just get into trouble wandering anywhere else. The XIII won't be happy about what Marluxia and I tried to do..." She hung her head slightly as she walked along side the pair, remembering the convoluted plot she and her partner had concocted to try and take over the Orginization.
"We can be each other's body guards, in a way." She smiled half-heartedly beneath her hood, hoping that Roxas was as good with a keyblade as Sora had been.

Roxas smiled at Larxene's remark. He was sure he could handle himself, he had been so far. But he was grateful for the concern. From the way she acted, he couldn't imagine her ever being a bad person. As Roxas thought, he marveled at all of the buildings and shapes and stores. They were all so new and exotic that he could hardly take his eyes off them.
He stopped at one building and looked in through a window. He cupped his hands over his face to see better. He saw a family inside, eating and talking a little. There was a fire going, and they looked happy.
...Happy.
Roxas couldn't remember what it was like to have a family. But seeing that one warmed his heart...or the place where his heart would be, if he had one. He pulled away from the window and smiled a little bit.

Naminé entered the village, watching as Roxas peered into the window. She then blinked a bit, noticing that he lingered. "Are you okay?" she asked, her eyes holding a tinge of concern. She stood in the middle of the path, hands behind her back, feet turned slightly outward. After a moment, she made her way to the window, turning her head and looking inside for a momnet. When she saw the occupants of the home, she smiled and understood. She made this known with a nod. "It's hard, being a Nobody," she said quietly. "Because, in the end, you really can't be somebody. In the end, you still don't exist." She laughed a bit, then shook her head. "Are either of you hungry?"

A nobody...I don't think I'll ever get used to that title...
Roxas smiled at Namine and nodded a little. He was kind of hungry, he hadn't eaten since...well, he couldn't remember. Scratching the back of his head, he looked to Larxene to see what her answer was. Dispite this, he still managed to look back a couple of times at the family, wondering what it would've been like if he had one...

The hooded figure watched as Roxas peered in the window at the family, probably sharing a warm meal and conversation. Larxene tried to remember her time before the Orginization, but all she could recall was her old name, Ralene...( Not saying that's it, just making that up) Larxene then listened to Namine's talk about their kind.
"I'm not sure I can belive that. Haven't you heard the old saying, "I think, therefore I am"? We may not be supposed to be in existence, but I think we do exist, especially within the other parts of us. You know, the heartless and other things that make up a person." After all that, the subject changed to food.
"Sure, why not. I haven't eaten since I...came back."
