I'm a Cheshire Cat.

...Of course.

You don't look like a cat to me.

[and cats don't talk :|]

[asjgdkgfajg- he has ears and a tail, kiddo.]

Are those even real?

[he's looking like he's thinking about giving that tail a pull to find out]

Would you like to see?

Why not?

[reaches out to tug the tail, expecting it to come right off]

[He can tug it, because Chesh can't feel a thing with it.]

Did I ever say anything to deter you, boy?

[He looks like a little version of...]

I'm not boy. My name is Riku.

[tug tug tug]

[He knows that name, and now he's sure he knows that face.]

You didn't tell me until now.

[He pets the child.]

[lets go of the tail with a humph, crossing his arms and ducking away from that hand. the cat bits being real weirds him out, and it's not like he knows this guy]

You didn't ask.

...Touché.

[Oh yes, this is definitely him. He has the same biting tongue when cornered.]

Have you only just come to this place... Riku?

[fixes his hair, keeping an eye on this guy]

I guess so. I wasn't trying to, and now I can't find where Sora went.

You're looking for a Sora?

I'd assume you're not looking for this Sora. After all, I'm a little tall and you're a little... short.

Maybe, if we had some cake, we could deal with that. <3

What do you mean?

You don't know? A little food goes a very long way, especially where I came from.

How is cake going to help me find Sora?

Who knows? It might help you get into places you couldn't before; make you big enough to scale impossible cliffs, or big enough to bat away all those people you despise.

[he frowns, not knowing what 'despise' means]

Cake doesn't do that stuff.

Hm?

...It does in Wonderland, Riku.

[he's looking annoyed now, not having any idea what this guy is talking about]

I don't wanna play pretend, I want to know where Sora is!

I'm not playing pretend. See?

[He vanishes until only his smile and eyes remain.]

[his eyes go wide at that, really unsure what's going on now and definitely starting to get scared. that face is going to end up giving him nightmares at this rate, and he does the first thing to come to mind that his parents taught him, which is to yell at the top of his lungs]

I NEED AN ADULT!

[Chesh reappears. He looks very amused... except inside he's angsting much more than a Cheshire Cat should. Sure, this kid is Riku... but the guy was never this... panicky. Ever. Not to mention the fact that having appeared from a dreamworld, he and Riku were never children.

He crouches down and tried to make himself as 'unscary' as humanly possible. Damn it...]

Don't worry, don't worry... I'm not gonna hurt you.

Oh, Riku...

[that helps somewhat, but if he makes a move toward Riku, he is going to move away. he's never seen anything like this before, his experiences limited to his own islands]

Are you a ghost?

No, Riku. I'm a cat. My name's...

...Sora.
