He had no idea that Lea had signed up "Raravis" for a blind date, or what a blind date even was. He knew what a 'date' was, but that was about it, and even then he assumed that the message had just been sent to him by mistake. He showed up at the library wearing a casual outfit in a comfortably familiar color scheme.
He hung around near the entrance for a bit, looking for anyone else who appeared equally consumed with looking for someone.

It only took her a few minutes to find the library and...for a minute she stopped. Stared. Her outfit was a little more princess-like, but she had shorts under it just in case she had to run or something like that. And that boy...well, from how he looked she almost swore it was Riku. However...on closer examination ( ... )

I know her- No, Riku knows her. Who is she?
After a moment, he finally looked up at her again as he pulled his hand away from his face. "I think there's been a mistake..." He focused again, trying to recall those buried memories. "I don't know who sent me that message, and I don't know you either."

He's as confused as she is. Well...maybe he's a bit more blunt than Riku, but its okay. He seems like a totally different person, even if he looks like Riku. "Well, maybe its a coincidence, then...I don't know who sent me the message either, but I'd like to at least meet the other person who got the mysterious message too." She tilts her head, her smile warming up a little more. "I'm Kairi. What's your name?"
Reply
Which name to give, though? He still thought of himself as 'Riku' in his head no matter how much his heart protested. Lea called him Raravis, but Lea also knew Riku and that was the only reason they'd met in the first place. Ventus called him Caden, and their meeting was hinged on a bond of understanding, not appearance...
He rolled his shoulders back, trying to get back to his proud posture. "Caden's fine," Pause. "Kairi." The name rolled off his tongue so easily. He couldn't smile back at her - not yet - in part because something about her reminded him of Ventus; he couldn't look at him directly either, at first.

...it was okay, she concluded, that he could know her name. If she was reading his responses correctly, maybe he was uneasy about her warmness and just needed someone to talk to. Or at least get to know her a little more.
"Caden is a nice name." Was her simple answer back. When he had spoken her name maybe she gave a look of surprise towards him at first but it was, again, a warm smile. "So...I guess maybe then we were supposed to meet here. What do you think?"
She took a passing glance at some of the natives walking by, and then looked back to him to wait on his response.

Did Ven know that and tell me to come anyway?
A friendlier person would've offered to spend the afternoon with her anyway, but Rep was still struggling with the idea that being 'social' was somehow in his best interest. He regarded Kairi's expression, still completely bewildered by anyone as open-hearted as she and Ven were. Eventually he sighed, then spoke again.
"I'm supposed to check this place out since I've never been here." It was pretty much as close as she was going to get to an offer to hang out. He took after Riku in some of the worst ways, really.
Reply
...Okay. She needed to stop comparing Caden to Riku. Now.
Shaking her head, she nodded in response but paused when he spoke. Okay...maybe Riku was his mentor or something but seriously...okay. How did she deal with Riku when he was like this before?
"Maybe I could come in with you? Never saw this place before either, actually..." She admitted and asked, glancing towards him again before crossing her arms and looking up towards the building. Now...she kinda wish she had a coat or something, to cover her arms because inside buildings were a little chillier than outside. But she'd be okay...or so she hoped.

After ascending the stairs and stepping into the library, Rep took note of the art on the walls, just as the message had relayed. They were much more interesting to him than any of the books there. The place was so oddly quiet... it reminded him of the hollow echoes that followed you throughout Castle Oblivion.

She followed him into the library, and a whisper of a gasp escaped her lips. Never in her life had she seen something so big, so elegant, and so art-based. Her eyes flitted over the pictures, and she felt her breath catch in her throat; she didn't want to speak, on instinct, because of how quiet it was. That quiet got to her...it was so interesting how such a room could feel so...empty. "W...wow...guess theres a reason a library is so important.." her voice managed to speak out in a whisper, and she walked past him to examine a picture, run her hand over a book here or there. In a bit of a louder whisper, so it could get to her accompanying friend, she asked, "Well...where should we start?"
Reply
As they continued walking, he would only stop if she did. He was drawn to the more abstract art that looked like little more than swirls and bursts, especially if they were in the white-grey-black spectrum. Art that fit those categories he would even smile at, as if the lack of any realistic meaning pleased him.
Reply
Even though it clearly meant something to him, he didn't look pleased by it. He looked confused and focused inward, because he couldn't even decide for himself how he was supposed to feel about it. He knew it was Riku's memories that were providing him with the strong reaction, and that was what made it so frustrating.
"Hey, Kairi... do you know much about art? Like, why people make it, and what it's supposed to do?"

"They weave memories into art?" He stared off to the side a bit; he didn't think she meant literally, but in their universe the metaphysical meaning was as good as literal anyway. "Maybe that's why Naminé was always drawing..." He didn't think it had anything to do with her powers, or her being a Nobody. He just knew that practically every time he'd gone to see her in Castle Oblivion, she'd been doing some sort of artwork. To the best of his knowledge, Riku didn't do anything like that either, so ( ... )
