Axel gives a bit of a sigh, but it's about what he expected: he didn't figure he'd be lucky enough to just find Roxas and Xion right off the bat, and the chances of someone else taking note of a couple of kids they didn't even know was unlikely.

"Oh well," he says, giving a small smile, and then nods. "I'd appreciate it." And he means it. Axel hasn't had a lot to be grateful for in a long time, and even fewer people he would actively show gratitude to, but even if Terra isn't a familiar face (beyond the lingering faint resemblance to Xemnas, of course), it's good to know there's at least someone from home here and awake. That means that he's not completely alone, right?

He fidgets briefly, then rubs the back of his neck.

"Ah, anyway," he says, giving Terra a slightly awkward look. "I'll just..." He points in the opposite direction. He figures that whatever Terra knows about the Organization, he probably knows they're up to no good most of the time, and while he appreciates the civility, he knows Terra likely doesn't want him knowing where his friends are sleeping. And he gets that. No hard feelings. Er... 'feelings'. "Guess I'll keep looking," he says. "Maybe I'll, uh... see you around, or something."

He's definitely got an inkling that this won't be the last time he and Terra cross paths.
