Kairi was more than pleased that she could do something for the demon. After all, it was as she said: she did have some making up to him to do after that stray message board comment exploded so long ago. Yes, she still remembered it; no doubt he did too, even if he'd never admit to it. So after her conversation with him she went right to baking, cheerfully whistling a tune.

When she finished, she wrote a quick note and left it out for Riku and Sora, explaining that she was off visiting another friend of hers, and left some extra sugar cookies covered on the table besides it for them.

Grabbing a dark crimson cloak to shield her from the storm outside, and a basket to protect her freshly made cookies, she made it out to the nearby train station and caught her ride over to the Actua Are.

And at long last, she finds herself heading nearby, catching sight of only one person sitting outside. Well, that must be him, right? They'd never actually met face to face, she realizes.

"Laharl?" she asks, stepping closer.
