The dark paths are just that - dark.
But they're away from Milliways proper. Away from King Mickey, if only for the moment; Axel won't forget that the King can follow them into the dark, too.
"If I could get you to an unconnected world easily, I would," he says to Demyx.

"It doesn't matter, okay? Anyplace. Just, away."
The two Dancers flank the two men in Organization coats. One watching behind, the other keeping an eye out ahead for shadows.

Date: 2008-09-07 06:18 am (UTC)The Dancers seem glad for the help, as glad as they can be about anything. Knowing 'hawaii' as well, at Axel's prompting the lead one darts off along the dark paths to clear the way of any shadows that might show.

It's safety, because even if it isn't Atlantica, no one in their right mind would follow him into the waves.

Date: 2008-09-07 06:38 am (UTC)Demyx stays under the waves until the sun is so low that the sky is dark but some parts of the ground are still lit, the western sky looking like a bleeding wound on the horizon, a line of red against the dark of the rest of the sky and the dark of the ocean.
He doesn't crawl out of the waves. He just washes ashore like driftwood, hood still up and covering his face.

It's one instance where Axel is firmly on the side of Organisation XIII - for the moment.

Date: 2008-09-07 07:22 am (UTC)Fools who try to harm Axel's friends have this way of finding themselves at the wrong end of somebody else's Keyblade.
Funny, that.

Date: 2008-09-09 12:03 am (UTC)Being here in a place that feels as safe as any connected, non-Atlantica world can for him, Demyx pulls down his hood, shaking out his wet hair to look out over the horizon.
"I think the sunset looked best from underwater."

"...Or you know there's always Atlantica."

He can feel the fire running under the thin skin of Earth, even running out under the water.
