[The video cuts to Axel, smiling tiredly. He must be in bed, given that there are pillows behind him and he's covered up to his chest in sheets. It's all white, looks pretty idyllic.]

Sorry for that... Extended absence. I collapsed while caring for the sacred fire. Gave my shinki a bit of a scare.

[He laughs a little, but it turns into a cough.]

Basically, I burned myself out. Any of you have advice on what to do while you're supposed to be resting? I'd appreciate it; nice as this vacation is, I'm gonna go stir-crazy here.

Like you.

I at least know what cleanliness is…

[Chikusa, now is not the time to fucking complain.]

Anyway… I’m the exemplar to Axel-sama, so I’m a little different…

[ That has him raising a brow, does he sense some negativity here? ]

A shinki's a shinki. How are you different from him.

[kokuyoyo]

[Yes but shut your fuck, Zero]

I'm more knowledgeable than him, and stronger... I'm Axel-sama's first.

[ Hit a nerve here? ]

Strength doesn't come from seniority.

[kokuyoyo]

It does in this case.

[fuck off, zero!!!]

[ Poor thing. /pats him ]

And you told this to Ken?

[kokuyoyo]

He needs to listen to me....

[So, yes.]

.... I see.

[ there's a change in his tone. He's been keeping an eye on him for a while now and he's seen the two interact on more than one occasional. Hearing this now... a lot things made sense now. ]

Chikusa... [ How does he say this without making him defensive.... ] His presence doesn't lessen your status, you know.

[kokuyoyo]

[And with that, Chikusa immediately hangs up.]

[Unfortunately... When something is on a hair trigger, it's close to impossible to not set it off... Especially with such a blunt approach.]
