Axel put a hand to his head as he tried to shake away the wooziness and slight pain. He used his other arm to prop himself off the floor so that he sat down proper. "I… che mi ricordo… Tutta la mia vita ho voluto essere un paladino… Il mio padre, ha ordinato i paladini ed è stato considerato un grande eroe alla gente. I… che ho voluto essere appena come lui. Era l'epitome di tutto buon nel mondo: grande coraggio, onore stupefacente e combattivo sempre per giustizia. Quando… Quando infine ho passato tutti gli anni di prove e di addestramento, quando infine sono diventato un paladino e lui mi ha detto che era fiero di me… Quello era il giorno più felice della mia vita."
{{I ... I remember... All my life I wanted to be a Paladin... My father, he commanded the Paladins and was considered a great hero to the people. I ... I wanted to be just like him. He was the epitome of everything good in the world: great courage, amazing honor and always fought for justice. When... When I finally passed all the years of trials and training, when I finally became a Paladin, and he told me he was proud of me... That was the happiest day of my life.}}
He pulled his knees close to his body and wrapped his arms around them in a sort of sitting version of the fetal position. "Ciò può suonare come una domanda sconosciuta, ma prego mi dice qualcosa: È ancora ci buono in questo mondo? È ancora ci qualcosa destra degno combattere per?" {{This may sound like a strange question, but please tell me something: Is there still good in this world? Is there still something right worth fighting for?}}

“Naturalmente,” XinShi said to him as she placed her hand on his shoulder closest to her, “Ci sarà sempre qualcosa degno combattimento e difendere per, buon o difettoso. Quello è il mondo che viviamo dentro, il mio amico.” [Of course. There will always be something worth fighting and defending for, good or bad. That is the world we live in, my friend.]
Gunthar returned with a white bowl in his hands, covered with pot holders to protect them from the heat of the food. He sat it down quietly on the counter by the door, along with a spoon. He once again left the room, to retrieve a glass of water as well, to set next to the bowl. Once he was finished he left without further instructions from XinShi.
XinShi then patted the blue haired mans shoulder and gestured to the bowl of soup on the counter, “Prossimo, mangi.” [Come, eat.]

He honestly didn't know what to say. This woman has done so much for him and has asked for nothing in return. To top it all off, she basically just confirmed that his way of living is still acceptable in this day and age. To be honest, he was feeling really hungry as he moved over to the table and sat facing the soup. "Grazie." {{Thank You.}}
He was about to start eating when he turned to face Xinshi again, "I appena benchè dovreste sapere, ho ricordato il mio nome. È Axel." {{I just though you should know, I remembered my name. It is Axel.}} He knew what he had to do now. However, he couldn't do it yet. He had to regain more of his self, his composure, his strength. Only then would he be worthy for the job...

XinShi nodded, “Buon.” [Good]
She really meant it, when she said that; it wasn’t the best for someone to not remember themselves or their name. An identity stripped from them, beyond control, XinShi never knew what that was like but the thought of it happening was a greater fear of her own. But with him preparing to eat, she would take the opportunity for herself as well, and check up on her new arrival from earlier this week. RA was waiting within the recovery room for her, and she was excited to go see how the big beast was doing.
“Lo lascerò ho luogo per alcuni minuti, io devo andare controllo su uno degli animali qui. Se avete bisogno di qualche cosa mentre sono andato, potete chiedere c'è ne del personale. Saranno più di felici di aiutare,” XinShi said to him, as she walked to the door. There was so much going on this week, and she had to catch up on all paperwork as well.
She gave Axel one last smile before turning out the door. Once out, her demeanor changed a little, what now crossed XinShi’s mind was the fact that everyone around her now knew what she could speak. Once such a secret thing, she remembered how Shin-Ra was so keen on keeping it quiet. Her eyes narrowed as she thought about it, all the times she had been in that building, all those people, and that horrid Hojo. A cluttered sigh escaped her, oh that Hojo, what did Shin-Ra ever see in him. He ran that company into the ground, along with that fat old president. Rufus didn’t do much to help either, picking up the pieces, didn’t seem to successful either.
Those were a lot of random and catastrophic events at that time. It didn’t matter though, XinShi not only got away with her life, she got away with so much information, she was practically making a life for herself redesigning a lot of the files for her personal use, and look how far that got her. A new company with a lot of successful clientele, that was for sure. It was only a matter of time, however, as thing snaked their way back into her thoughts. Someone here would have loose lips and the news media would be all over it. How would she cope with that? And how would the world react, let alone anyone from-
XinShi stopped, it didn’t matter anyway, and by the time she realized it, she was at the door. She opened it slowly, her hand shaking a little as she did. The excitement was coursing through her by this point, she had been very successful, and with RA, a new breed would be born.
“RA,” she said as she stood in the doorway, the large behemoth-hound hybrid lay on the floor. He was awake, but calm, and upon the sound of her voice, became alert, facing her. Then the recognition kicked in, he sat up, still, and waited. Having seen that, XinShi then smiled, this was going to be a good week.
She then petted the animal over his head.

Axel tried spooning a few slurps of the soup before he raised the bowl to his mouth and just gulped the whole thing down. To be fair, he hadn't eaten for over a thousand years. When he finished he gave a big sigh of relief and placed the bowl back on the table. He wasn't sure what he really needed at this point, and just found himself looking around.
He looked back over to his sword, and knew just what he could do to pass the time. He went up to the table and pushed it so it was right against the wall so as to create as big a space as possible for him. When this was accomplished, he went over to his sword, picked it up and moved to the very center of the area he had created. He breathed in and out a few times slowly, going over the different forms in his mind.
He had to make sure he remembered them perfectly, lest his technique be diminished. He thought it strange really... That he had no memory of anything of his identity, but his combat abilities were untouched. Feeling it was a question that would have to wait for another day, he began to move according to the forms he had remembered practicing for years in the courtyard outside of his home. His movements were fluid, deadly yet at the same time quite entrancing, almost as if he was dancing.

M was sitting impatiently as some people occasionally passed by on their way in or out. Judging by the activity, something was going on that was either important, or just had everyone pretty excited. There was one hume in particular who kept staring over at M but he wasnt taking any notice. Madeen finally decided to come out of his summoning orb. As soon as he did, M was already on the move towards the guy staring at him. He struggled and climbed up the table before standing on top of it and looking coldly at him.
"If you keep staring kupo, your eyes might just fall out. Yes, I know im attractive, even in human terms, but I'm only interested in Cetran ladies. They sure know how to......" Madeen shook its head and laughed, which made M stop. He could hear Madeen laughing

RA’s rough purr reverberated through the floor itself; XinShi could feel it in her feet as she gently stroked the animal along its body. He reacted so well, it was amazing, and XinShi was practically tickled pink about it. She would talk to him and he would listen, obeying every command without hesitation and complete loyalty. This was what XinShi had hoped for over the past six months and this was finally it.
XinShi cooed in RA’s ears as she stroked and patted him, touching the soft fur on his body, every curve in the muscle under his flesh. She could practically feel the power that was coiled up under the skin, ready to explode. XinShi knew she would have to take him for a ride out at the compound south of Junon, where he could have a large outdoor enclosure, free to exorcise himself.
“You are a good boy, aren’t you?” XinShi said, as RA lifted his face to her as she talked to him, “Yes, why don’t you come out of the room, RA. I think you can come out now, no need to be pinned up in here anymore.”
RA raised his massive body from the floor where he sat, as XinShi stood up. His tentacle came up and slid along the back of her hand as she started to move to the door, as if reaching out for his mother hand like a small child. XinShi stopped, one hand on the door knob the other gently took the tentacle as she turned to face him a smile on her face. She patted the side of her hip to signal him to follow as she walked out of the room.

Axel was getting sick and tired of all this. For the past two weeks, he had been analyzed and put through tests to make sure everything was working all right. Nothing invasive or painful of course, but still very uncomfortable and annoyed. As much as he respected the company for rescuing him, he was done. He wanted out and he wanted out now.
He requested his sword and Materia back for a training session, but in the time he was with them, they had begun to trust him, which made him feel very bad when he hit the two observers kept there to watch him over the head with the hilt of his sword. It didn't kill them, just knocked them out for a while.
Living in this place gave him enough knowledge of how the place works, at least enough that he understood with his medieval-age way of thinking. He made his way to a locker room where the employees put away their civilian clothes and changed into work clothes. He picked out a few items to make what he thought was an average person, and then snuck out the back though the emergency exit. The fire alarm instantly went off, but he was already four blocks away before the firemen came to address the false alarm.
He managed to make his way down to the docks and saw all the boats. But he needed to be fast as he already could hear the sirens of the police, possibly for him to return him to where it was "safe". All the sights and sounds were so much for him, but all he needed to know was he was near a boat-like monstrosity and climbed on board. He hid inside one of the boxes and could even hear some crewmen being talked to by policemen. It was stressful for a while, but finally they left, and sooner or later, so did the boat as it departed for the sea. He didn't know where they were going, but frankly at this point, he no longer cared.
--AXEL OUT--
