Homecoming [open]

His response sounded like music to the blond's ear. So he traveled too? Perhaps it was the reason why he answered so vaguely earlier but none of that mattered now anymore; she was saved. A large smile curled upon Milla's lips as she felt the small ray of hope had suddenly gotten larger. "Very well!" She exclaimed, bliss written all over her face. She knew that the stranger had added something about darkness and more risk but all the worlds could throw anything at her, she'd just have to be stronger and endure. Her internal celebration was shortly interrupted upon being asked for her name. Yes, now that he had mentioned it, they still didn't know who each other were. Taken by the information revealed to her, Milla had completely forgotten about introduction. Though she never thought it was necessary to share such information to stranger, this man would be her traveling companion "Ah yes," She said with a nod "I'm Milla Maxwell." The way the stranger acted somehow reminded Milla of Alvin. He talked so relaxed and did things that probably wouldn't benefit him. Was he some sort of a traveling mercenary? His get up did suggest that he wasn't your normal citizen, as if there was something he was hiding behind that all black outfit. Well, whoever he was, it didn't matter now. For Milla, he would fall under her lists of allies. She'd find a way to pay him back when she could stand still and stable. A sudden fond gesture she had seen in books flashed in her mind. This was an introduction so perhaps a handshake was appropriate. The female reached out her hand, waiting for the other to take it "I've read and seen that humans did this upon meeting a person and... what was that they say?" She tilted her head, blinked for a couple of times before exclaiming a soft 'Ah' "It's a pleasure to meet you." TAGS: Axel

The eighth member gave a small sigh to himself. What was it with heroes and their impatience? Honestly, it wasn't like the danger was going anywhere. Having a better formed plan, information, there were so many things that would make her life easier if she just took the time to really work things out.

Whatever. Heroes really didn't like stopping. There were times when he was amazed at how far Sora pushed himself, and even Roxas at times. That must have been a side effect of being the brunet's Nobody. Now he could add this girl to his list of people that needed to learn how to slow down. Milla would run herself into the ground before she found everyone she was looking for. The name's Axel. Got it memorized? He said with a small chuckle. It had been a long time since his trademark question was used.

He took the offered hand, giving it a small squeeze. He blinked as she spoke, remarking on the fact that it was a human gesture. That was such an odd comment to make. It certainly prompted a whole knew set of questions. The pleasure is all mine. He let his hand fall away from hers, his head tilting a little. If you aren't human, which you pull off perfectly, what are you? He asked, not thinking that it was a brazen or unreasonable inquiry to make. Milla had invited the query in his mind.

No matter what she was, he had still agreed to take her to Traverse Town. The young ... whatever she was had a kind temperament and cared for others which meant that the threat to his life was minimal. Even if she were a threat, he was hardly someone to be dismissed. So, while he might be a bit more standoffish had she been nasty during this encounter, he felt safe enough to continue on in aiding her.
