[From here]Xemnas briefly paused as he reached the staircase, his orange eyes slightly narrowing as he gazed upwards, trying to determine whether something above waited, or not

Yazoo glanced warily around the area as he finally came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs. Not seeing anything unusual, he glanced upwards toward the second floor and squinted as he tried to see into the darkness.

Again, nothing was there. At least, not that he could see.

Still keeping his right hand on the wall, he went to put his left foot on the bottom stair before pausing and looking toward the Sun Room. More than once, he had thought about following his brother there, but whoever had challenged Kadaj to the fight had said to come alone. It wouldn’t look good for him to suddenly show up.

Completely unaware that the fight between Kadaj and River was no longer taking place, Yazoo turned his attention back to the staircase and began his ascent, the thought of finding some metal for Sephiroth running through his mind.

"Little Bunny Bastie hopping through the forest..."

Quietly singing under his breath, Rabastan peered down the hallway before heading for the stairs himself. For once, he was trying to be quiet, especially after how upset Aya had been with him last night for yelling up and down the halls. He missed Aya and Severus, unable to find either of them after night had come. Bugger.

Wand lit, Bast glanced up the stairs before starting to bounce up them, his whispering singing still having that same note of good cheer. Radio tucked securely against his side, Bast nearly fell over when he saw Yazoo.

"Hi!"

There were only a few more steps to go until Yazoo reached the second floor landing, and he mentally sighed in relief that he only had a little more ways to go. However, someone had just gotten close enough for him to hear them whispering to themselves, the sound oddly echoed throughout the eerily quiet stairwell. He didn’t turn around just yet, instead keeping very still and listening closely to whatever it was the person was quietly singing.

“Little Bunny Bastie…”

If that’s a monster, it’s the worst one in the whole of Landel’s, he thought to himself with a wrinkle of his nose. Light suddenly flooded the stairwell and Yazoo had to blink a couple of times until his eyes adjusted. He whirled around where he stood and was surprised to see that someone and not something had actually been doing the singing

"My name is Bast! Who are you?"

There was a bit of disappointment in Rabastan as he headed up the last few stairs to stop just below Yazoo. He'd heard all about the monsters here, and he'd been sure that he'd finally see one! This man didn't look much like a monster, but one never could be sure. He did have the most interesting eyes though! That counted for something, right?

Even if they had been on the same level standing ground, Yazoo would have been taller than Bast's 5'2 height. Being a stair or two below the remnant, the Death Eater was roughly at belly button height. Instead of a flashlight, Bast did carry his wand, a bluish-white light shining from the tip of the piece of wood. For a delicate piece of magical equipment, Bast treated it pretty badly, using it to scratch at his head (and light up all his white hair) before bringing it in front of him again to study Yazoo.

"You have kitty eyes!"

Yazoo might start wishing he'd met a monster instead of Rabastan.

“Yazoo,” he answered as Bast finished climbing up the next few stairs. When the man came to a stop just a couple of stairs below Yazoo, his attention was immediately focused on their height difference. Well, this is just a bit awkward, he couldn’t help but think to himself with a small outward smirk as he stared down at the other.

The light illuminating the stairwell then grabbed his interest as Bast moved the wand around, and he tilted his head slightly in curiosity as he watched it. It wasn’t like any flashlight he had ever seen. He opened his mouth to ask what it was, but was interrupted by Bast enthusiastically pointing out his eyes.

Smirking once again, he flicked some hair behind his shoulder and with a sarcastic, “Meow,” turned and finished climbing the stairs.

[[Moving them off to here, if that’s okay with you. ^^ If not, just let me know~]]
