( what came before )

'shit...a healer?' the mere thought of someone scanning him sent him into a near panic mode. If anyone who was even slightly competant with magic were too look at his heart, they would have to see the anomoly around his heart. "Lady Kairi!" He called. Panicked, he ignored Alladin's hand and went to go after Kairi...

Stay ( Read more... )

The wisk of air solidifying was enough to swirl her hair all the way around her face. Spinning, spitting out the locks, she looked wide-eyed at Kefka sprawled on the ground. Some of the crowd stopped and stared at him in mute wonder.

"What the hell?!" he bellowed as he stood up, the watchers scurried away into the crowd of passing people, leaving the three of them alone in the crowd.

What the hell indeed..

And then he muttered Riku's name in a way that made her shiver for a moment. Anger, rage. What did Riku have to...

...He was with Kefka the last time she had seen either of them. Kefka had held a certain interest in her friend, and Riku a brimming dispassion for the man. She walked over to Kefka, who's face was cringed in pain.

"We really need to get you to a healer."

Things were getting worse and worse. Aladdin focused his attention on the crowd. Some of these people recognized him and could identify him, seeing that he was one of the only princes that made the effort to form an actual connection with the commonfolk. While Kairi was dealing with Kefka, he made his best effort to calm everyone down and assure them that nothing was wrong and they weren't in danger ( ... )

Aladdin definatly had the right intuition there, because the moment Kairi started reflexivly moving towards Kefka, a sort of searing pain emenated from his heart, spreading through his entire chest, causing him only to clutch harder. Of his own volition, luckily, he moved back several steps, so the pain became bearable, while he held up a hand to fend off her advances.

He gave Aladdin a thankful look, which for once was an honest emotion, but at this distance he was able to stand on his own.

"No, i think...i think I know what ails me." He gave Kairi a significant look. He'd have to dance carefully here. For some reason it seemed important that he keep Riku's identity from the Prince that was standing next to him.

He caught Kairi's eyes and held them with a piercing gaze. "I know exactly who did this to me." 'though perhaps not how...' "And only he can cure this." For further emphasis of this, Kefka pretended another shot of pain, contorting his face ( ... )

"Ahh..." He wanted her to contact Riku? Last she knew, he was mad at her, enough to haven't have contacted her since then.

But, but wait. Riku did this? How could he have possibly done something to Kefka, a powerful, skilled mage? Granted, Riku was a good fighter, really good to have survived so long in this war, but just... how?

She nodded, returning his gaze. She didn't know what was going on, but Riku and her tutor had something to do with it. Best she could do was to heed Kefka's wishes, maybe talk to Riku in the interim.

"I'll try."

To be quite honest, all of the cryptic statements these two were shooting at each other went completely over his head. He found it a bit demeaning, since Aladdin wasn't one that liked to be left in the dark. He was used to people treating him in a condescending manner, though that hardly meant that he enjoyed it ( ... )

Kefka allowed Aladdin to help him to the castle. Perhaps a meal from Marie was exactly what he needed; for a woman who had a heart of light, she was one of the few whom Kefka didn't consider killing.

At Aladdin's inquiery, he responded, "The infirmary should be fine. As long as I am not near the Lady Kairi, i should be fine..."

He shut his mouth, stopping himself from saying too much.

As for Kairi, he simply gave her a greatful eye. 'good, good. She can understand half-words. Though the peasant...prince, whatever the hell he is, probably is annoyed with me.' He had to repress a silly giggle.

Aloud, he addressed the girl. "Thank you, Lady Kairi." he made his tone sincear, with a tad of regret. "Turns out he's stronger than i thought he was." He made a face, trying to ignore the pain that even this mear distance caused him.

She backed away as Aladdin began carrying Kefka the long distance back to the castle, falling in behind a ways behind them.

She considered the looks and glances, what Kefka could mean by "he's stronger than I thought he was". Falling into lockstep behind the two, she dazed out as she turned possibilities in her head. Her teeth caught her lip and she chewed on it in worry.

How am I going to get in touch with him anyway? she wondered. Through his journal was the most logical place, she supposed. But that was if he was even checking it. It wasnt like she could just walk down the street and find him like back home.

"I'll just have to give it a shot," she muttered.

Aladdin breathed a sigh of relief to see that Kairi had some common sense and took Kefka and himself seriously when they warned her to stay away. He felt bad, since she probably felt isolated and perhaps even thought she was the direct cause of the mage's pain (of which Aladdin wasn't sure either way), but she was a Princess of Heart-- she could handle herself.

Infirmary, then. He gave Kefka a small nod to show he understood and then turned his gaze back to Kairi. "I'll take care of him, all right? You should probably just head to bed. It's getting late. Or, if you want, you could go pick up some soup for him from the kitchens. I could just as easily do that, though." He gave a small shrug of his shoulders. It was up to her.

With that settled, he started down the hallway towards the infirmary-- a place he'd spent a few days himself in the past four years...

Kefka went with the Prince along the hallway leading to the infirmary in silence, though he was gradually able to stand up more and more on his own. Soon enough, they had arrived at the doors of the infirmary when Kefka stopped, regarding the Prince ( ... )

Feeling that things were out of her hands right now, Kairi turned the other way as they came in the castle gates. "I'll go get him some soup..." she muttered to Aladdin's back ( ... )
