Demyx's enthusiastic response seemed like something that was worth a smile, again. He'd definitely said the right thing. Admittedly, he'd never had the most sophisticated tastes in music, he'd admit, but ... definitely interesting enough to know. More proof that not everyone here was ... another Saïx.

The acknowledgment of things being boring earned another shrug. Got that in one, too. "It's... kind of a bit of both. I've known Yuki- uh, I've known Xikkuyo and, uh, Chexi since I moved. S- Jouxis moved into town a couple of months back. Ka- Xinjak is, was, I guess, in the year below us in school: he only started hanging out with us a couple of weeks ago..."
All pulled into things together through a cause that no longer mattered, in a place that couldn't matter, through a power now lost to them.
