While Hilde had managed to move safely between a couple areas in testing the crystals' odd power, the sensation that had overtaken her upon stepping into this place was a warning one, putting her on guard immediately. It was not an entirely unpleasant feeling--merely one of unfamiliarity, an instinct that told her to watch herself more than usual. This was not Cosmos territory.

The shifting of her armor was not necessarily loud, but in an area as enclosed and tight as this, anyone in the immediate area would be aware of her presence fairly quickly. With her hand on the hilt of her short sword, she had proceeded warily, watching for any of the beings that Terra had described while also making a note of the area, memorizing its appearance and paths

Kain was instantly on edge when he noticed the presence of another. He turned at once to face her, spear raised as he took a defensive stance. It was impossible to tell friend from foe around here... and indeed, even some who were supposed to be allies didn't seem to be. So he couldn't tell right now whether he was in the presence of someone who'd become a threat. She certainly looked like she'd be able to handle a battle if it came to it...

"I could ask the same of you."

A spear, and on top of the armor he bore. Hilde's grip on her hilt remained ready, but still she did not draw.

"My name is Hildegard von Krone," she replied solidly, confidently. If this were truly another world that she had found herself in, she doubted her name would mean anything, but he had asked, and it was ony honorable to state one's name upon meeting, whatever the circumstances.

Kain similarly kept wary, tensed to spring in an instant if needed. He knew well enough to remain cautious around here. His bitter mood didn't exactly help matters any, either... but he would at least try to keep it contained.

"...I'm Kain Highwind," he offered after a brief pause. He still wasn't sure he could place her from that initial meeting, but knew that there'd been other arrivals since.

So far this world's redeeming feature was that it had an endless territory to explore. Xion herself was a bit on edge because as far as she could tell, her dark doors were still not opening and from what Namine had explained it wasn't about to work for anybody. How were the others supposed to find her here? She herself had arrived at random.

She was so deep in thought that she probably would have ignored Kain and overlooked him completely if she weren't able to pick up other people's presences pretty readily. She froze almost in mid step. On one hand, she couldn't tell who would be like Kefka and attack with no provocation. On another...

"I've never seen armor like that."

Frowning when he realized he wasn't alone, Kain turned at once to try and see who was there. He raised his spear and took a defensive posture at first. He'd determined it was best to be cautious, no matter what other people seemed like. At the moment, he certainly didn't know what this girl might be capable of...

"It's the armor of a dragoon," he replied, still getting used to the idea that people on other worlds didn't have such things as dragoons.

Actually she was surprised that he would be worried about her attacking - he looked more battle ready than she did. But she was ready to summon her keyblade in an instant if things went bad.

"A dragoon?" her curious tone insinuated that she had in fact, never heard of them. "Is that like a knight...or some kind of hero?"

The Coliseum in that other world was supposed to be a place where heroes competed, though she'd only ever seen one.

Kain was used to fighting mages and other such individuals, so he knew better than to underestimate anyone... Still... when she didn't attack, he managed to calm himself somewhat.

"I'm no hero." Despite his part in assisting to defeat Zeromus, he would never consider himself to be one. He didn't deserve it. "But I am a type of knight... we use a specialized technique to jump into the sky and strike our enemies from above."
