She hardly noticed Taiki's hand in the face of all that Vexen had to say, and she rocked back slightly. Taiki would feel some of the fear ease off from her, though she was still wary and concerned and... there was a different fear now. Quieter but deeper as she watched and listened.

She took a deep breath. "Are you one of the ones who fought with Axel in Castle Oblivion?" she asked softly, but there was steel in that quiet. The answer mattered. It mattered a great deal, it would seem. And Taiki would feel the tension in her as she waited for that answer.

She didn't put away the Keyblade, but it was no longer menacing. Couldn't be, with Taiki between them.
