He leaned against the side of shinny freshly waxed hood of Rufus' favorite black car. He kicked the tire idly as he waited, cigarette dangling from his lips. Rufus, Tseng, and Rude were inside having a 'discussion' with the owner of the company about his latest little stunt with marketing. He doubted the man would try it again, but until then he was stuck outside watching the car. Damn it, Rude better get is black a** out here soon or i am going to go stir crazy.
At least if anything he'd get a nice recapping of everything he was missing later. Rufus usually told him everything in detail if he asked nicely enough, and if Rufus got something out of the deal.
"s**t..." He pulled the cigarette away from his lips and tapped the soot off it before taking a deep breath through what was left.

 Demyx had once again found a way to get away from Luxord for a while and explore. He loved the gambler, yes, but sometimes he just felt the urge to wander off and see what kind of fun things he could find.
Or, you know, trouble he could wander into. Which is usually what happened anyway.
So, wandering along, it wasn't very long before Demyx managed to spot the incredibly shiny car. Shiny things always caught the attention of the young blonde, and sadly number ten was not here to keep number nine from running off.
Skittering out of seemingly nowhere, the sitarist went over to the car and admired it's wonderful shinyness. Only after staring at it for a moment or two did he finally notice the presence of Reno. Tilting his head at the redhead, Demyx offered a quick and friendly "Hello!" before returning his attention to the car.

Kaleb had missed the bus earlier, and had resigned himself to walking home after finishing his shift at the local hospital where he worked part time to pay for his textbooks. Today he was attempting a shortcut, although he never expected to come across one of his friends... staring at a very shiny car, next to a suspicious looking character.
The mage paused, perhaps wanting to talk to Demyx, but unwilling to put even one foot off the sidewalk.

He'd resigned himself to finishing off the pack of cig's he had in the car and bitcing until Rude came out. He had not expected to have some little blond thing in a black coat peering at the car. It was a car, not a piece of artwork. Even if it was a rather old make and probably not something you'd see around anyway.
"Who the ******** .... " If the whoever that was touched the car he'd get in trouble for getting fingerprints on it. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I dunno...."
The little one practically purred the words, eyes still fixed on the car.
"How'd you get it so shiny?"
Pulling his gaze from the car, green eyes focused on Reno in a rather innocent fashion. He meant no harm, never did really. Hell if Reno looked like the playing type Demyx probably would have asked him to play a game or something. Though it was likely Demyx wouldn't like Reno's idea of fun and games.

Kaleb slowed to a stop, and tilted his head slightly. It looked like Demyx knew the guy with the red hair, but then again, Demyx was friendly with pretty much everyone.
He still didn't step towards them, his self-preservation instincts were overwhelming. It was almost a struggle to call out to his friend, and thus draw attention towards himself in the process. "Demyx, what are you doing out here?"

What did he mean how did they get it shinny, it was car wax. "You wax it." He dropped the cigarette and crushed it under his boot. "Lots of wax and lots of care and you get a shiny car." He shruged.
Rufus liked his car pretty and that ment a wax job at least every week. At least if he was the one stuck doing it, and he usually was, he got a damn good lay for the work. Rude was good like that.
Speaking of Rude, the brawler was walking tough the lobby as Reno though about him. Rufus and Tseng were finishing up and his work was done so he'd told the Boss he was going to go make sure Reno hadnt molested some poor passerby.

Not having a car or any other vehicle that needed waxing, Demyx was oblivious to just how obvious the answer had been.
"Ohhh....neat!"
Tail swishing, the little blonde whirled around to wave at his friend.
"HI KALEB! I'm uh....I dunno!"
He grinned, rubbing at the back of his head. It was a mystery how such a dorky Audio had been accepted into Organization XIII.

Kaleb felt relieved at seeing Demyx happy and unharmed, and he couldn't help but smile at his friend's enthusiastic greeting. He took a step towards the edge of the sidewalk, unconsiously submitting to his nervous tendancies by adjusting his glasses.

What the hell was with this kid, he was spazzier than a chocobo on a speed spell. "Not really .... its just wax." He looked down at the car and the tire he had kicked. Yea, Rufus was going to get him for skuffing the tire.
Noticing Demyx was talking to someone else he turned his head. Another kid, at least this one wasnt staring at the car.
He walked out of the building and straightened his glasses as he hit the sun. Reno was right where he was supose to be, as was the car, only there were two stranges there also. "Thought Rufus told you not to make friends while you were out here?" His deep voice broke the momentary silence

Demyx danced from paw to paw happily, excited that his friend was walking over to join him. Waving to Kaleb once more, he quickly turned to Reno, head tilted a bit.
"Well I think it's neat. So....um...there!"
He grinned innocently at the redhead, until Rude's voice broke the silence. Blinking, Demyx quickly turned to look at the newcomer.
Now, most would probably be scared of Rude just by looking at him. And...usually Demyx would to. But maybe he had some extra sugar that morning, or something, because right now he was more in a 'let's make friends with everyone!' mood rather than a 'hocrap I better watch my a**' mood. So, bounding right over to the brawler Audio, Demyx offered him the same friendly, and dorky, grin.
"HIYA!"

Kaleb was horrified as Demyx bounced over to the frightening-looking Audio with the deep and intimidating voice, but he hid it well behind his nervous and borderline terrified expression. Although he was now even more hesitant to leave the sidewalk and approach Demyx and the Audio with the black suits, he wasn't about to leave his friend alone in such a dangerous situation.

That was a new one. He'd never seen anyone as intrested in a wax job, unless you counted thoes stupid girls that followed Rufus around, as this kid was.
Shaking his head he gave Rude a wather wide grin. "You know me man, just too popular for my own good."
He grunted and looked down at the blond who had bounded up to him. At least he couldnt be trouble. The brawler could probably break him with one hand if the need arose.

Demyx tilted his head up at Rude, seemingly waiting for some sort of response past the initial grunt. After a few moments Demyx determined he'd get no further response, and went about trying to initiate a conversation on his own.
"Soooo...I'm Demyx...who are you?"
Too caught up in trying to make friends, the blonde was completely unaware how much he was freaking Kaleb out. If he did realize it though he'd probably spaz just as much, worrying about giving Kaleb a heart attack or something.

Kaleb briefly wondered if he could cast a shield spell on his friend, without anyone noticing.
He took a couple deep breaths to calm his nerves, neither of the black-suited Audio had made any threatening gestures as of yet. Besides, the one with the red hair wasn't looking nearly as suspicious and frightening as he had moments earlier, but perhaps that was only because the Audio Demyx was currently provoking was so much more intimidating.
The mage chewed on his lower lip a bit, stepping closer to the edge of the sidewalk.
