Be my guest, be my guest... [RP scene: 'KH2' era] [3D spoiler warning]

[another_chance]

This was a nice ballroom, once. A place where the cultured and refined could waltz through the night... princes and princesses and all their likes having a beautiful time as the music played.

Tonight, however, that was not on the cards.

The small exploratory party hadn't had the best of times here, as scorch marks and ruined pillars told a story about what had just been happening. A fight.

But at least that Keywraith'd been finished, right? That thing, that bundle of thorns and rose petals, was lying inert on the floor...

Xeha took a moment to glance over at Dilan and Braig, his current companions, before stepping in to make sure the job was done.
Perhaps he shouldn't have been so hasty, he quickly found himself thinking, as it erupted upwards: that didn't look anything near so good. And the last fight hadn't been good already, Dilan already rather wounded. Not that he hadn't given every bit as good as he got. And as far as people to have on your side in this situation went, the ex-guards were some of the best.

Still, Xeha couldn't help but give a call out of exasperation and overall pain, as he took a step back, ready to fight...

"Not again!"

Braig offers a hand without even thinking about, as Xeha climbs to his feet. He knows for sure that the kid hadn't been trying to get lost. It was just a little accident between him and the bit of the old man he still carried with him. Nothing to worry about at all, or at least, not until the next time they decided to try the same thing.

"You got it, kid."

Just a little accident. Just a bit of strangeness. He suspects it'll be a while until he tries another Drive with anyone, all the same - time enough to get his confidence in his ability back. Gratefully, he takes Braig's hand as he stands up.

"About time we headed back, then... I think we're done here."

"Yeah," Braig answers with a nod. "Other places to go, and all that."

Besides, there's still the rest of the castle, and taking down the biggest of the nasties doesn't mean that the little guys are gonna be gone. Not yet anyway.

"Mm." A look over at the - seemingly still a little perplexed - last member of their group, and Xeha gives Dilan a wave over. "Come on. Let's go home."

A brief pause, and Xeha gives a bit of a laugh. "I hope the owner isn't too angry about what we did to his ballroom."

"We can always talk to him if we run into him," Braig comments, with a slight shrug. Even if he could deal with some of the assorted mess, he's not really feeling up to it at the moment.

"Besides, we took care of the monster for him, so that's gotta count, right?"

[another_chance]

Walking on, leading the way back, he manages to smile.

"He'd better appreciate that much."

No matter what else might have happened today? That job was finished. And he's pleased about that, at least.
