Um...

[If Kafei was hesitant the last time he made a scroll message, then right now he's just a ball of nerves. That dragon thing got him laughed at, and then his last in-person meeting was...less than stellar. It's hard to trust people, okay? But right now he really doesn't have much of a choice.]

...I had planned on going to those mines once they opened, and now that the time has come, I'm in need of an...escort. I know I was told that the path would be safe, but at least in Termina, it's incredibly unwise to leave town unprepared. Really, I have no idea how this town gets away without having any guards...

Which means I find myself forced to reach out. I'm afraid I have nothing to pay anyone with, so I can understand if this sounds less than ideal. After all, I don't have to go...

[He begins to shrink back, the second-guessing commences; ABORT. ABORT.]

This was a bad idea, I apologize.

That's what you were trying to talk about before, your tragedy.

[Although he's not sure what a classic hero's journey has to do with stealing the pants of children.]

[kuukai]

Tha's...

Okay sure. [ That's most of it. She bites her tongue. ]

[keaton_mask]

Well...I'm not quite sure what to think of you. You claim to have no soul, which makes sense for a demon. I can't say I'm particularly fond of them, either, and your first impression was less than stellar.

To be honest, I'm not even sure what you're trying to prove.

[kuukai]

...

'm not either. Tha' I don' actually care about yer pants? [ Always with the pants!! ]

Look. 'm gonna be hangin' around th'mines sometimes prob'ly. If ya want th'company, fine. If ya don't, fine.

But calm the buck down. There's plentya dangerous things 'round here and 'm not one o'them.

... Well, okay. 'm dangerous ta some things. But not ta you.

[keaton_mask]

Then why threaten me in the first place? Why would you scare me like that?

[What does anyone get picking on a twelve year old?]

[kuukai]

Oh my God.

B'cause s'a dumb fashion choice. An 'it was funny.

[keaton_mask]

It wasn't very funny to me!

[kuukai]

I laughed. [ the MOST mature ]

[keaton_mask]

Right, because you only care about yourself.

No offense, but you are about the worst hero I've ever met.

[kuukai]

S'a work in progress. [ She doesn't seem that bothered by his comment, as she chomps down on another stick of Pocky. ]

[keaton_mask]

[Yeesh. Well, it doesn't look like an apology is going to happen.]

In that case, no, I don't want your company. I can't imagine how anyone would, you're quite insufferable.
