So I can have a strong guy like you keeping an eye out for me?

[ Kairi laughs, the tone of her voice a teasing sort - it never takes much for her to be comfortable enough to do things like that, anyway. She shifts and settles herself back onto her rear, both legs moving to stay straight, and she leans back on her hands to stare at the sky. ]

I think I might be able to handle myself out here. I won't learn unless I try, you know? [ She smiles over at Juudai. ] I hope you realize that you might be stuck with me for a while, though. I wouldn't even know where to start on trying to find my way back home.

Well, I ain't exactly that strong, but hey, that works too I guess!

[There's a grin on his face that's sort of close enough to another dork Kairi knows personally. But at that last sentence, he's going to just give her a gentle slap on the back.]

Hey, it's not exactly an adventure if you know where to go, right?

[ Yeah, that grin is close enough that Kairi feels a bit of a drop in her gut, heart twisting as it shoves itself into her throat - she misses Sora already, and Riku too. And though Juudai kind of reminds her of Sora, there are already enough differences between the two that there won't be a constant reminder, no fear of replacing one with the other. Not that she's the type to do that, anyway. But the feeling only lasts for a second before the touch snaps her out of it, and she laughs at his response as she leans a little closer to him. ]

Yeah, you're right. I've always wanted to go sightseeing... without having to worry about running from people or anything.

[ ... Hey, if she doesn't joke about the kidnapping stuff a little, she'll never get over it, right? Besides, everything that happened before had been for a reason, even if she didn't like it and she realizes that much. ]

[That works enough for him, but then he remembered he hasn't asked her the most common question he's asked people he has met in this place.]

I'm not sure if your place has 'em, but have you heard of something called Duel Monsters?

[ Kairi tilts her head at that, then slowly shakes her head. ]

No, I haven't. Do you fight them?

[ Look at her, right hand clenching as if ready to summon her Keyblade to prepare to fight. Isn't that just cute? ]

It's a card game! You know, the one with the really good portable holographic projectors and all?

[...must be a local thing to this world then, orz]

[ That's the conclusion she comes to in regards to that, and Kairi relaxes a bit, then shifts a little closer to Juudai. ]

I've never heard of it, but it sounds fun! Can you show me?

[ A world-exclusive or not, Kairi's definitely interested. Why not take the time to get to know what makes the world tick while she waits to figure out a way to get back home? ]

Sure! I'm always up for introducing people to the game!

[In fact, he's going to actually show her his deck case and then his deck as he got the cards out.]

These here constitutes a deck; most of the times people just put in 40 to 50 cards on them, you could put more in it, but generally they like having it in a low numbers!

[ Kairi leans over a bit, unable to keep from leaning against Juudai a little as she looks at the cards. It seems straightforward... until she sees the different colors of the frames, and reaches out to tap a Polymerization. ]

So why's this one green instead? Does it do something special?

Yeah, this here is a Magic Card, it allows you to do special things to your Monsters, or effect your opponent's in a bad way!

[simple explanations with judai 101.]

This one just fuses your own monsters together though.

[ Okay no, this sounds really cool. Kairi's settling herself down a bit to get more into it, eyes scanning the description of the card. After a moment of thought, she picks out two of his monsters, Burstinatrix and Avian, and holds them up with Polymerization. ]

So then you could use this card to put these two Monsters together... And there are even cards for these uh... Fusion Monsters?

Yeah, see?

[He's going to show her the purple-bordered card bearing the picture of what seemed to be a mix of the red-wearing woman and the green-suited man, with the words Elemental Hero Flame Wingman written on it in gold-lettering.

Seems like it's pretty rare.]

[ ... Okay no, that looks pretty cool, actually. Juudai you're impressing her a lot right now. Kairi gingerly takes the card between her fingers and pulls it closer to look over the text on the card. ]

Oh wow. This is... amazing, Juudai. [ She looks up from the card to flash him a bright smile in the midst of her awe. ] Whoever came up with this really put a lot of thought into these cards, didn't they?

Of course he did, an elaborate game like this wouldn't be possible if he hated creating this game, right?

[rhetorics by Judai 101.]

[ Juudai. Juudai, you're a butt. But she laughs anyway and shakes her head. ]

I guess you're right. [ Kairi takes a moment to look at the sky, then frowns a bit. ] I shouldn't be keeping you up so late, though.

Well, you should get some more sleep too.

[Looking at her smiling face at least gave him an idea on what to do tomorrow.

Yep. He has a feeling this is going to be a busy week.]

Only if you promise you'll sleep, too.

[ Even though Kairi's smiling, she means it. She'll even force you to pinky-swear on it. ... Then again, she's clearly underestimating just how much Juudai likes to sleep, huh? ]

I'll try not to get too much in the way while I'm here with you, though.

Don't worry about me too much, sleeping is something I'll definitely do!

[He could hear Yubel's mental sigh, at the very least.]

And hey, I did say you could make yourself at home.

[As homey a wilderness could get anyways.]

[ Kairi lets her smile grow at that, and she hands him back his cards, then stands up, stretching a little. ]

Good night, Juudai. [ A pause as she makes her way closer to the fire again, opting to curl up there to sleep. ] I'm glad I met you.

Same here, Kairi!

[...he's going to just. Find a tree, and well, lean on it before actually sleeping.

Who even needs sleeping bags, man.]
