[ So after all that, Axel gets to climb back up the ladder and shuffle some smaller boxes around, stacking them along the walls in rows tall enough for only one of the two of them to reach. But, that’s likely a problem for later, if one at all.
Once they’re done, he dusts his hands, a brow perking as he looks around. ]
You think this is gonna be enough space?
[ It’s going to have to be -- Axel isn’t leaving until Roxas is ready for him to, so they’ll have to make do with what they’ve got. Good thing they’re close friends, rather than just acquaintances... ]
Nah. [ Axel shrugs helplessly, leaning his head over in a sort of knowing pose. ] I didn't come here planning to stay, you know.
[ He'd only intended to check up on his companion, really. But when it comes to matters of Roxas, it seems he's as apparently weak to things like 'I don't know if I'm okay' as he is to 'please stay with me'.
[ He shrugs, open-armed. He's here doing any and all of this of his own volition, for once; no orders, no demands, no commands. No one breathing down his neck if X thing doesn't get accomplished in Y amount of time.
But, sure -- if Roxas wants to exhaust other options first, fine by Axel. ]
Yet, Axel can't help but grin at that show of headstrong determination. It's somehow reassuring, perhaps to a degree, to know that no matter how hard he's taking this breakup, Roxas is still very much Roxas.
He follows suit. Hey -- any mattress they can magic up will probably be taller than Roxas, won't it? So he'll tag along to play pack mule. ]

So, welp. The rest is history, as they say. ]
And if there's no second mattress?

I-I'm sure we can work something out.

Alright, then let's give it a shot.

[And he'll head out of the barn.]
