Kairi would admit it--she rushed. She was always the type to be on time, since she knew how some men were about being punctual these days. And she just never was one for making others mad. Not on purpose anyway.

Bangles jangling softly as she reached up to brush some of her red hair from her face, she spotted a lone figure standing in front of the Cathedral, and she assumed it was whom she was meeting with. He looked interesting enough from a distance, and she was sure he'd get even more interesting as she got closer.

And he was. She noticed the X-shaped scar on his face and vaguely wondered how that happened. It didn't matter though, since it wasn't any of her business. And his hair color... well, she had seen her fair share of strange hair colors, so Kairi wasn't new to that.

Stepping up in front of him, she smiled and held out her hand. "You're the one looking for a place to stay, right? I'm Kairi, the one that's offering."

[lunaensnared]

Small and young, this was the woma- gir- ...young woman who had offered him a place to stay? He watched her carefully for a moment offering a small nod at her introduction. Briefly Saïx wondered if there was something more to her. She certainly didn't seem to be more then what she appeared but in these times young women were some of the most dangerous and well concealed weapons to encounter

[memoria_persa]

Flexing her hand a little from his grip and letting her hand fall back to her side, she wasn't at all surprised that he didn't smile. He didn't seem like the type to smile anyway, from the looks of it and--

Wait, wait, what? He actually thought she wanted something from him? That assumption made Kairi wonder even more about him, like what kind of life he lead before now. Her smile fading a little, she shook her head.

"It's nice to meet you, Saïx, but you don't need to worry about anything like that." Kairi let her smile come back before she spoke again. "The only thing I ask for is someone to talk to other than myself and Neffe."

Turning around, she nodded her head in the direction she had come in, murmuring a 'this way' before starting to walk. "And like I mentioned, I'll provide food and whatnot until you can pay for your own things."

[lunaensnared]

"Conversation?" An odd request. Was she a genetically altered old woman? Still wary of the young woman he wouldn't question her intentions outright. For now he would watch her, closely.

"Of course." Though he doubted her, he would agree for the moment. Saïx was far more interested in finalizing his new living arrangements then solving the mystery of why she was so insistent she wanted nothing in return and talked to her cat.

With a soft grunt he pulled the worn scarf away from his neck. It was hardly chilly enough to warrant wearing one but traveling so light often meant wearing everything you owned. So while he was hardly uncomfortable he was a little more heavily dressed then the season called for. The travel was evident in dust and wear in everything, even his cap that had rested idly in his hand now being returned to his head as the pair stepped out from the shade of the cathedral.

Kairi laughed softly when he questioned her, reaching up as she walked to quickly tie her hair up into a low ponytail. It swung just slightly as she walked and she could feel it brushing against her back, and she shivered a little before ignoring it.

"Conversation," she replied, smiling. The redhead figured she should explain just a little, though. Just in case. "See, I've been living alone for the past three years. And I just found Neffe a few weeks ago, but the downfall to cats is that they don't talk back." Kairi paused and looked over at him. "And sometimes, you can't even tell if they're listening, you know. Besides, he's a big bundle of energy and he can't sit still for long."

Oh, the joys of owning a kitten. Maybe Saïx would get lucky and Neffe wouldn't like him that much. She wouldn't admit it, but Kairi was actually a little worried that he'd be one of those people to try to sneak a cat into his dinner. If he did that to her cat, well... she was sure Grimmjow would have something to say about it

[lunaensnared]

Saïx stared ahead as he followed, listening to her story. Alone for so long and still she sought comfort and familiarity in others. That old woman theory might not have been too far from the truth it seemed.

"You can tell. Animals are not so unlike humans that way." Or in many ways. "If the animal can not sit still it is most likely disinterested in what you have to say."

Scrunching his nose the man's thoughts turned once more to food. His stomach caught on right away and answered the question with a groan before he had a chance to speak.

"Sometime yesterday."

Hungry as he was he probably would eat a cat if it were offered to him. At this moment, there wasn't much he would turn down as a meal.

[memoria_persa]

Kairi nodded at what Saïx said, then let out a sigh. "Maybe when he's older and not so high-strung, then." Then again, maybe it'd be better if she actually did some research on Egyptian Mau cats, to at least get an idea of their behavioral patterns. She was lucky she was even able to figure out that it was a Mau, but then again, they were the only breed of domesticated cat that she knew of that had spots on their coats.

Hearing his groan and the answer to her question, she turned completely to face him, a look of slight disbelief on her face. "Yesterday? Seriously?"

Kairi sighed again and turned back around. She hated it when people weren't able to eat, but then again, she'd been the same way until recently.

"What do you usually like to eat?" The redhead hoped it was something she actually had, or that he'd eat whatever she made for him.

[lunaensnared]

Pausing he tensed at the sudden turn. Was it that surprising? And what was with this concern for his immediate health? "Yes." Yesterday Some time ago yesterday. It was odd to him for anyone that wasn't in a white coat to care about his meals.

Saïx blinked away what traces of confusion may have shown on his face and took up the pace behind her once again. It wasn't a lack of energy on his part. If he didn't have to move fast there was no reason to.

"Like to eat? Something fulfilling." Honestly he preferred simple things like bread and stew. His stomach however was reminding him with sharp pangs that it didn't care and neither should he.
