A Bit of Reclamation... [complete]

[limitbreakpilot.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Cid and Kairi
Content: Cid reclaims his shop
Setting: Cid's shop [J7]
Time: not too long after this thread
Warnings: Cid


The rest of the trip to find this place that he apparently owned passed by in silence - or the Cid version thereof. Which is to say ... it wasn't exactly silent, as he kept up a steady grumble that was composed up of equal parts swear and latent bitterness. It didn't really mean much of anything - it was more to fill the silence than anything - but every now and then something comprehensible could picked out of it, usually something about the lack of a sky or the sheer weirdness of the place as a whole.

It wasn't until they arrived at the shop he was supposed to be reclaiming that he stopped - or rather until his journal chirped at him.

"Thought I told you to stay quiet," he grumbled at it before turning to Kairi. "This the place then?"

Kairi had taken a break somewhere along the way, poking around at the journals and, well, she tried honestly hard to not laugh out loud, but in the end she did, shutting the journal and getting back to unearthing some shelves, dusting them off and making sure they looked good as new. Later, she checked the journal again, looking a bit uneasy, shuffling a bit, and then seeming slightly relieved.

Well. She had a bad feeling that if she ever encountered a certain demon or two, it might be bad if she encountered them alone. But! She was good at slipping out of that sort of mess, she did it on the journals for awhile, anyhow.

Annnnd~ Even better, she found out that Riku was here again. Not the same Riku as before, but, well, she was getting use to that sort of thing. She'd be the first to admit to the weirdness of the city.

She began organizing stuff (somehow Kairi found a method, more so by size than anything), pulling objects from piles, an oddly new spring in her step. For a moment she paused and looked to Cid. "Oh, hey, if any weird demons come barreling in here - one really short, or one that tries to act really charming - could you, uh, warn me?" She smiled, trying to look a bit innocent despite knowing the disturbance she caused, even if it wasn't quite knowing everything. Heh.

While Cid could - and sometimes did - get so thoroughly wrapped up in what he was doing that he was all but oblivious to his surroundings, this once one of them. Needless to say, Kairi's abrupt laughter was more than slightly confusing as result, to say nothing of her comment shortly thereafter.

"The hell have you been up to?" He had absolutely no interest in dealing with demons after all. Of course, if they attacked him, he'd just attack right back, but tangling with demons wasn't exactly his idea of fun.
