If you met your past self, would you be proud to tell them who they become?

KH3 Continuation - Mending the Rift - [Even and Lea]

[emberized]

[Lea shifts on the balls of his feet from one leg to the other, as he stood outside the doors to the lab inside Radiant Garden Castle.

There had been a heartless attack a few days ago. Apparently some got in, made a mess of the place before promptly vanishing after thwarting a few attacks. It wasn't unheard of to see them after the keyblade war, the hearts of people and worlds still had a lot of healing to do. But seeing them here of all places was cause for concern. The former Nobodies knew all too well how many secrets this castle could hold.

Afterall. This was the place they all died, once, long ago.

A keyblade wielder had been requested not only to make sure the creature was gone and dispatch it if necessary but also to potentially seal off any unchecked dark rifts it may have leaked in from.

Solid plan. Only Roxas and Xion couldn't afford to keep getting pulled away from school, Aqua, Terra and Ventus had already left for their own mission and the Destiny Islands crew had infinitely more important business to attend to.

Lea... Lea was available. So here he was.
And trying desperately not to dwell on the fact that he is last person anyone here probably wanted to see.

Dilan and Aeleus were easy enough to greet at the entryway. The pair of guardsman seemed to not hold  any ill will, with the return of their hearts came compassion alongside their sense honor and duty.

Not that it wasn't strange for Lea to take the front door, instead of he and Isa's many break-in routes.]

"It's gonna be great. Gonna be fine..."

[No the hardest sell was going to the Scientists. Vexe-- Even, most of all.
When it came to mending their thoroughly shattered bond, Lea knows he hasn't exactly been a saint. It was easier to chat with Ienzo, since they sometimes shared the occasional video call but the redhead hasn't allowed himself to be alone in the same room as the Chilly Aca-- er Even since their recompletion. It had seemed easier that way, better for both their sakes, but now Lea couldn't help but wonder if that had been the right call.

Had Lea even had a positive impression of the other man before his time as Axel? It was so hard to remember..

Lea straightens his shoulders and knocks. It would go fine. He can be friendly and courteous and has gotten very good at dodging after all his training with Kairi.

It was gonna be fine.]

"Err. Hi. You called? About the heartless problem?"

[Lea steals himself as the door opens.
Maybe it'll be Ienzo who answers..]

[Post KH3! The war has just wrapped up and relief efforts are in full swing! There is a lot of fixing up to do, in both hearts and minds. Even has requested a keyblade wielder to assist with locating a heartless (and possibly get some free labor in fixing up the lab) who he gets... is Lea.]
