Imadiad Cafe (NDE thread)

It seemed he'd struck a nerve with that question and the girl answered as quickly as possible. Apparently not having parents. Ever. Rhydas' stared at his in alarm, not really sure how this should be approached. He stopped in his tracks and watched her as she carried on walking.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." He muttered, just loud enough for her to hear.

He carried on walking once again, only to find Helios had stopped outside the gates of the palace. Which he knew the dutchess resided in.

"Helios?"

Before he could ask what he was thinking, the kitten slipped through the bars of the gates and strutted off in the direction of the main building.

"Helios! Come back!" He called, running into the gates and attempting to reach through. Once he realized it was futile, he pulled a face and crossed his arms. "Drat!"

Maiske paused and went back to where Rhydas was standing. "It doesn't matter. I am perfectly fine on my own.." She murmured. She honestly didn't give a fuck that her parents were gone. She never knew them, did not know who they were. For all she knew, her mentor, Genki could be her father. But that didn't bother her. She wouldn't let family get into the way of her life.

"It looks like you have a problem there."

Rhydas nodded along to what she said and placed a hand in his hair out of frustration. He needed to get his kitten back. But how to do it without getting attacked by the four palace guards Abumi kept?

The way he saw it, he had no other choice...

Leaping over the gates with a burst of water from his feet, he landed on the soft earth and stood up again. Looking round the area, he spotted Helios walking around the building and in disappearing from sight.

"Helios!" He called.

Dashing after his kitten, Rhydas turned around the same corner the little one had gone around, the boy stopped and stared.

Maiske was surprised by the boy's actions. Jumping over the gate after his.. cat? Alrighty then. She shrugged and contemplated whether she should follow or not. She sighed, shaking her head. She jumped herself over the gate somehow, landing on the other side. She did a faster walk then normal making it up to the boy.

"What..?"

[OOC: Mhmm, gonna end it here. Drag it on too long and It'll get boring.]

Rhydas stood before one of the guards to the palace grounds. Picking up Helios in his arms, the blond boy listened as the guard gave him a warning to get off the grounds. He nodded and formed a pattern in the air, already knowing he needed to leave the area.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it" He'd say to the teen after she asked a question. She said she was going to leave eventually so it was all down to her when she wanted to go. "We're gonna leave now Maiske. It was nice meeting you. And sorry for all the trouble my pet caused you."

Jumping upon a grand bird of water, he would hold a single glowing finger to his chest whilst his other hand would hold his kitten firmly in his hand. Just as the great harrier of water lifted them into the air, the boy said a simple "See ya next time Maiske"

[Exit]

Maiske never wanted the boy to leave but what had to be done was done. She watched him leave, a single hand raising in the air, her own gesture of a good bye towards Rhydas. She did not say anything to the boy as he left she just made her way out of the gate, climbing over it. She was off.

[Exit]
