Wow, this guy was super comforting. By which he meant that he wasn’t comforting at all. Axel valiantly resisted the urge to roll his eyes and bare his teeth in a mocking grin, but only just. Instead of doing either of those possibly dangerous things, he directed his attention towards grabbing his wallet and DS from where he’d left them earlier. He stuffed them in his back pockets and, as an afterthought, grabbed the chargers for each to throw in his duffle bag with his clothes. His crushed fritos joined the charger, too, since he figured it wouldn’t hurt to have a snack for whatever the fuck he was going.
“Whatever you say, buddy.” He muttered under his breath, moving over to his computer. With a sigh, he resigned himself to how he wouldn’t be able to even bring his laptop with him. He’d washed his backpack, but it was still pretty soaked so he wasn’t going to risk potential water damage. Instead, he placed his laptop in front of his desktop’s keyboard, arranging it so that both computers and the laptop charger would be hard to miss when whoever showed up came to collect his things. If anyone showed up at all. If he was even alive to get his things later.
With one last longing look at his pride and joy, Axel turned away from his desk, grabbed his duffle bag, and marched over to the samurai. “I’ll hold you to that, Mr. Literal.” A pause and then, “Marcus.” He said the name slowly, sampling it against his tongue and the man standing in front of him. He wasn’t sure how well it fit, but it was probably better than calling him whatever nickname popped into his head at any given moment.
“Yeah… I guess.” He hesitated, resisting the urge to look at his stuff again. If he looked back at his computer he might not be able to leave. This might become more real. Part of him hoped that he’d wake up cold and naked in the shower because he’d passed out from sleep deprivation and this had all been a very vivid dream. The rest of him knew that he was never that lucky. “Ready when you are.” He shifted his duffle on his shoulder, prepared to follow wherever and however Marcus was going to go. For all he knew, the guy was going to sprout wings and fly him to a castle tower somewhere. Heh. That'd actually be kinda cool.
