Kaleb's eyes went wide as he overheard his boss in the other room, and he didn't stop to reply to his friend until the elevator doors had closed behind them.
"I-I'm o-okay," he said, looking rather frightened, and not at all like he planned on letting go of Demyx's hand anytime soon.
"A-...are you sure??"
All traces of evil plotting gone, Demyx worriedly looked over his friend.
"You aren't having a heart attack are you?! I dunno how to treat those, so no having one!"
Fidgeting nervously, the sitarist examined the other.

He looked back and forth between the two. "Umm ..... don't i get an explanation?" He eyed his partner. He at least should get to know who this person was since it seemed like everyone else knew.

Kaleb shook his head at Demyx, and returned the fidgeting with equal fidgeting on his end before blushing and glancing in Riley's direction. "S-sorry, this is Demyx. H-he's a friend of mine."

"H-h-hi..."
Demyx raised a paw to wave at the other, but it wasn't long before he was cowering behind his friend again.
"S-s-sorry if I got you in trouble..."

"Demyx?" That was a weird name. "... right. I'm Riley." He shrugged his shoulders slightly. Whatever Rufus was going to be pissed about later he'd deal with it then. Right now he'd been tossed out to keep an eye on Kaleb.

Now that they had put some distance between themselves and Rufus' wrath, Kaleb was able to calm down somewhat. He smiled reassuringly at Demyx over his shoulder. "Don't worry, it will be fine."

"H-h-hi..."
Demyx stared over at Riley for a brief moment before latching onto Kaleb as tight as possible.
"You p-p-promise?"

"Dude .. if Rufus was gonna like, kill ya, he'd have already done it. Or he'd have told me to do it." He really doubted Rufus would be stupid enough to kill one of Kaleb's friends. That would be a sure way to make the mage stop working for him.

Kaleb nodded, and kind of winced at Riley's blunt words. "I-I promise," he said. If Riley, or any Turk for that matter, had been ordered to kill Demyx, they would have had to find a way past Kaleb's shields first.
The little healer didn't like thinking about those kinds of things though, so he quickly put it out of his mind. "It's okay," he said to Demyx with a smile. "Riley isn't as scary as he looks."

"mmrph...."
With a bit of a whine, the sitarist slowly released his friend and inched back to Kaleb's side.
"I was just excited about meeting you...and and and, my promotion! I'm important and stuff now!"

He looked at the two again and figured they were talking about something that he had no clue about. "Umm .... i'll just leave yall ta talk." He could go lean against the wall or something and not get in the way.

Kaleb grinned at Demyx. "You were important before your promotion," he said brightly, but his smile fell when Riley backed off. "I-I'm sorry," he said, fidgeting a bit. He didn't want to leave out his partner, but it had been so long since he'd heard from Demyx.

"Nu uh...I wasn't that important in the Organization..."
Fidgeting still, Demyx let his gaze drift down to the floor.
"Now I actually like...fit in! And have missions! And and Saix talks to me and stuff..."

He really had no idea what they were talking about so going to lean against a wall was easier. They could talk and he could, well, stare at the wall across the street or something. Though going over what Rufus had been talking about was more interesting than the wall.

Kaleb's fidgeting matched his friend's. "Y-you were important to me," he insisted, also glancing down at the ground. "B-but I'm glad everyone thinks you're important now, and that you get to go on missions and stuff." Certainly Demyx's missions were not as traumatizing as his own with the Turks, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to mention them.
The healer glanced over at Riley and blushed a bit. He didn't know how to include his partner in this conversation, and he just hated letting him stand there and stare at walls.
