Welcome to Gaia! ::

He gave Aiden's growl some regard, he looked around, not seeing anything, he shrugged and then went back to walking around. Investigating this world was proving to be interesting, but there were no heartless...yet and that seemed a bit odd to him."He could be anywere...we just have to wait for him to show up, unless you know of some way to get him here.."

Aiden responded quickly. He didn't know why Risa had yelled so his first reaction was drawing his sword and lunging at the spot she was peering at. He practically leaped through the mushrooms to get to it. Noticing it was only the cat, he stopped the blade a second before it hit the cat.
"Nice job, cat," he said with a moody voice. "You should learn not to scare little girls.

"Do you want some help?" He asked to Risa.He stared at the cat for a moment pondering his words. He wants us to turn the lights on..is that all? Seems a simple enough task. He looks to Aiden, but cannot see any sign of suspicion or otherwise on his face. Mabey it was just him. He didn't trust that cat, and the cat knew it as well.

((Um.....we're really not going by the original story. We're looking for the cat because Aiden needs to ask him an important question and Vaynne has something to do with him as well. I don't know about Xien. We're creating our own little freak story here XD.))

"Weakling..." muttered Aiden, not bothering to help her since Xien had already offered. "You may be 16, but you look more like a ten-year-old. What's more, you have the strength of one. For a nobody, you're not very powerful, are you?"
Aiden pulled his sword away from the cat and resheathed it. Crazy the cat was, but dangerous he was not.
"Keep your damned riddles to yourself," said Aiden, spite in his voice. "Maybe you could give a straight answer for once in your miserable existence. "

"Ooh," he said, after barely moving from Risa's shove. "Aren't you a scary little witch?"
He brushed off where she had jabbed him before looking at her and speaking once more.
"And about hating me, get in line," he said sarcastically. "I have my reasons for the way I act, and you're not about to change them, wether you turn red with anger or you start crying. Believe me, I wouldn't care one bit.

"Tsk, tsk" said the purple-stripped cat with his usual, mocking smile. "So cruel. You know, you're not going to get any women to like you that way."

"And I care?" asked Aiden. "Look, nevermind. I need you to answer a certain question. If you've ever given a straight answer, then for your sake this better be it. Where are the other two swords?"

"What swords?" asked the cat, unscrewing it's on head and juggling it as it sat back on its tail.

"Don't play dumb, you pest," answered the Heartless Hunter with an angry look. He unsheathed both Blaze and Frost. "There are four. I have two. Where are the other two? And who sent the Heartless to look for them? Why do they Heartless want them so bad?"

The cat gave a silly, maniacal laugh and popped its head back on, looking as mocking as ever. He got to his four legs and leaped up to a tree branch.
"The Key of Revealance is the Musician of the Nobodies. She will unlock the door to the Windwalker and the Earth Lord."

"Damnit, cat!" he said. "I asked you for a straight answer, not another one of your stupid riddles!"

"No need to get violent," said the cat, his body fading away. "Save your energy for the real enemy in this forest."
The cat began disappearing, leaving nothing behind but his eyes and mouth.

He let out a sigh and then brought his hand to his forehead. Guess she didn't need his help after all. Aiden and Vaynne had been rough to her, so he could understand her anger, even If he didn't have a heart. The cat's riddle had intrigued him. So she had to open some kind of door for Aiden. He let out a soft chuckle, that wouldn't be happening any time soon, he could tell. He walked up to the mushroom and then climbed on to it. "You guys could be a little nicer, you know." He said to Aiden and Vaynne, even though this seemed unlikely as well. He jumped to the other mushroom and then to the tree. From there he could view almost all of the forest.

Risa could still here Aiden shouting at the poor cat. She looked up glaring at Aiden. "You're an idiot," she said bitterly, deciding that kindness was wasted on him. "Even I can figure out that little riddle, and it's very clear the cat is being nice." Risa rubbed her face against her long black sleeves and added. "If you want help solving it, you useless excuse for a heartless hunter, you'll have to get it from someone else; not me."

Risa stood and brushed off her black robe and crossed her arms, glaring at Aiden. "I hope you never solve his puzzle, it will serve you right for being cruel! Apparently you've forgotten manners!" Risa turned her head away from Aiden, letting out a huff of disgust. She started over the tree tops again, before she pointed.

"Xien, I think I see heartless," she said. Sure enough, little black shadows were scurrying around the bottom, a bunch of little ants with no direction. "Silly little things aren't they?"
