Ienzo glanced at the folder, trying to see if something had fallen off, but it seemed to be intact. So he nodded and put it on top of the box of folders, trying to center it so that it wouldn’t fall again.

“It’s not a problem.” He replied, smiling lightly. “It’s good to see you back at Radiant Garden, Alex.”

“I imagine there wasn’t a vast offer in Twilight Town.” Ienzo considered, tilting his head slightly. "Which means you have much to discover."

When he saw Xion’s expression, moreover, he echoed her smile.

“Radiant Garden is flourishing once more, so there are many new establishments.” He replied. “I haven’t had the chance to visit most of them, but from what I’ve heard they are very popular. Especially now.” He added. “And there are many kinds of sweets. Marshmallows, chocolates, fruit candy, even cookies. Drop by whenever you wish and I can show you some of the places I remember.” He offered.

After all, the team at Radiant Garden weren’t running on dangerous deadlines anymore.

"Things have changed since the last time we saw each other..."

“And yet I hope it’s for the better.” Ienzo replied, taking a few steps towards Xion in undisguised curiosity. 

It hadn’t been that long, in the grand scheme of things, but oh how things had changed. There was no way Ienzo would forget what being Zexion had entailed. His nobody alone had lived enough for a lifetime of nightmares, but also for a few dreams. 

“I’m glad to see you.” He said. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you like this.” 

She’d been meant to be just a copy, a safeguard against Roxas’ possible rebellion, but now she was her own person. And Ienzo was nothing but glad to be able to see it. Still, he had questions. So many questions.

😷

Send in 😷 for a starter where my muse is sick.

Ienzo wished he could veil himself and vanish beneath an illusion that he couldn’t see through, one that hid the shadows under his eyes, the red in them and the way he was even paler than usual. His head hurt and, to top it, he kept coughing.

He was lucky he had the laboratory to himself so early in the morning because he really wanted to finish deciphering that piece of code he’d been working on before he’d felt too exhausted to continue. Another fit of coughing, a minute later, had him reconsidering. Maybe, just maybe, he should rest. What if it was serious and he got worse?

Of course, what if it wasn’t? He couldn’t remember being sick when he’d been a nobody and his memories before the Organization weren’t always the clearest. All he knew was that he couldn’t work like that, no matter how much it annoyed him. So slowly, reluctantly, he left the computer and started the walk upstairs. Every step was taxing, but he was slowly getting closer to his room.

Then he raised his head and realized there was somebody else in that corridor.

“Prin… Kairi.” He greeted her, resting all his weigh against the handrail to try and remain standing. “Is there…” A cough interrupted his sentence, he tried again. “Can I be of assistance?”

“Who are you?”

It took a moment for Ienzo to turn around, focused in the calculations ad he’d been. He’d sensed Kairi’s arrival, yes, but he'd known Aeleus and Dilan would be there to greet her, maybe his Master Ansem too. He’d wanted to go upstairs too, of course, and be polite, but he’d just wanted to finish that part of the tests before leaving. 

It was when he heard Kairi’s voice that he noticed it had been more than a couple minutes, but he turned around and managed to smile even though he was feeling slightly sheepish at the lack of manners he’d just displayed. 

“My name is Ienzo.” He introduced himself. “You must be Kairi?”

She did fit the description Naminé had given him, after all, and the lack of darkness in her scent tipped the scales. 

“I’m afraid Naminé isn’t in Radiant Garden at the moment,” he added, “but if there’s anything I can help you with, I’ll gladly be of assistance.”

“ your vote of confidence is overwhelming. ” {sora}

Ienzo slumped his shoulders, then raised a hand in defeat. "All I'm saying is that maybe unlocking all options in your Gummyphone could wait. However, if you want me to, I'll unlock them."
