The 3rd Burst of Flame

[beforetheflame]

[Lea paced in his room. His brows furrowed in anger as he clinched his fists to the side during each step he took. Whilst his shadow leaned against the wall with his arms folded. A smirk was on it’s face as it spoke to him. Almost like he was taunting him. Lea clinched his teeth as it said something that made him snap, he whirled around at his shadow. And proceeded to yell whilst the cambot captured this.]

And just what do you know about me?! You think that this is just a game? What do you want?!

[The shadow gave a laugh. Then said something, which made Lea’s eyes widen. That did it. His arms swinged out as he carelessly knocked practically everything around him, the chair, the lamp, old dishes that made a loud disturbing crash against the wall.]

OH I’M SO FLATTERED YOU THINK THAT!! Anything else you like to add about how I treat my friends?! HUH? Do you want a run down on how I go through life? You don’t know anything, you don’t know jack about ANYTHING I do!!

[Grabs the chair and tosses it carelessly at the wall near his shadow, it barely misses it. Just barely. The shadow just stayed there the smirking arms still folded, while Lea just growled in both frustration and anger, practically shaking.]

[Hi, Liz was watching that and knows that enraged expression all too well.]

You okay, kiddo?

[beforetheflame]

[Whirls around at the camera.]

Fine.

JUST. DANDY.

[Carelessly kicks a box to the side.]

[punsofiron]

[She lets him vent, quiet for a moment.]

...Listen, if you need to talk about it...

[thirteenth_brat]

[Yeah, Roxas is just kind of... staring.]

This probably is a game to them, Lea. And it wants you unsettled. That's why it's saying the things it's saying.

[beforetheflame]

[Looks down as he clinches his fist as he hears Roxas' voice. Then looks away from the camera.]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least with how these things have been acting.

[thirteenth_brat]

That's how they've all been acting. Calm down. Throwing a tantrum isn't going to solve anything.

[beforethemoon]

Lea, maybe you should calm down.

[beforetheflame]

CALM?! HOW CAN I BE CALM?!

That guy-He-He thinks he knows everything, but he doesn't! HE DOESN'T!!

[beforethemoon]

[Isa just sighs out his nose]

It's trying to upset you, you're just playing into it's hands by acting like that.

[thesilenthero]

[Lexaeus looks more than a little puzzled. But young Lea seems to be having some trouble, so he may as well see if he can help. Trauma can wait. Especially because that looks a lot like a weird kind of heartless.]

I am not sure what is going on, but you would be ill-advised to listen to anything that shadow is telling you.

[beforetheflame]

YEA? Kinda hard to not listen when this thing taunts you night and day about things that are not true.

See how quickly you can snap.

[thesilenthero]

I don't believe I am as short-tempered as you, Lea. It does, however, appear to be some sort of heartless or similar creature. You might do better to dispose of it than to listen to its poison.

[wefallinsilence]

[:o That's a face he recognizes. A face he recognizes really well in fact. One he might even have missed.]

[wefallinsilence]

[And since he isn't going to let something like Cambot deal with his saying hello, he's off and running to where Lexaeus is without so much as a word. A brief moment later, then, Lexaeus will find him with a bitty on a rapid approach vector.]

[skysmirror]

Lea! Hang on, I'll be there to help soon.

[She heads out into the hall, hand on her sword]

[beforetheflame]

Xion-!

[skysmirror]

Are you and it still in your room?

[optimistickey]

[Geez, Sora's just worrying himself all over the place about these particular spectres...]

Are you okay, Lea?!

[beforetheflame]

Yea... Yea I'm fine. Just...

[Gives a sigh.]

I'm fine.

[optimistickey]

You want help getting rid of that thing?

[salvagedlight]

Lea! [Ven doesn't normally yell, but he's trying to get his attention.] Don't listen to him, you treat us great!

[beforetheflame]

[Looks back at the screen.]

Ven!

[Kinda snaps out of it.]

Nnng... No... No you're right, I shouldn't listen to him.

[salvagedlight]

Why would you? You know what happened with Isa's, and it happened with mine too - they say things just to make you angry. Get rid of it, that's the best thing all around.

[colorbymemory]

[Annnd...Lea demonstrates the sort of angry outburst Nami's seen from Axel once or twice. She knows she's not much use in helping with the shadow, and sees Isa's already taken the job of calming him, so she doesn't run to the scene or do anything else that might distract those who can do something.

After it's all over, though, Cambot catches her walking down the hall towards Lea's room, a piece of paper in her hand. When she reaches his door, she slides it under.

A closer look reveals it to be a picture of Lea, Isa, and everyone else on the satellite that Lea's friendly with--Ven included.

She starts to tiptoe away.]

[beforetheflame]

[Lea rubs the back of his neck adjusting his scarf.]

Boy, that was a real pain. Glad I don't have to deal with that anymore...

[Looks down lifting an eyebrow as he sees the drawing.]

Hm?

[Bends down to pick it up and looks at it. This is... Lea's eyes widen a little and saw the drawing him with his friends. Who... Who drew this? Lea looked around, opened the door to see if anyone was around... No. Lea looked down at the drawing and gave a soft smile before get some tape and sticking on the wall next to his bed.]
