[Why, exactly, is there a sandstorm brewing down this alleyway? ...Must be Tuesday. In any case, two figures well-covered in desert robes and wrappings are making their way slowly out of it, fighting against the wind, the smaller one held closely to the larger's side.

As from their perspective the barrage lets up, dumping a puddle of sand around the street, the larger one looks up and drops his hood. Piercing inhuman yellow eyes, harsh narrow features-
Oh. Hello, Kurt.

He looks down towards his smaller companion - his daughter, in fact, though she seems to have grown at least a little bit since she was last seen - and smiles...]

... well. Looks like we're back.

((Been a while, so trying to kick some life into these two with a bit of an update.))

[Chuckle-] No, I haven't. [Two can play the enigmatic game here.]

Not what I was asking for.

Hah. [He smiles.] Layla, run ahead and keep a look-out. I'd rather show than tell.

[She gives her dad a doubtful look, and dashes off to where she can see if anyone's coming.]

Heh. Fair enough.

[Here we go - Kurt shakes his arms out, looks around, and - there, street full of Heartless.]

[Xigbar can't really whistle, but he makes a noise that serves the same purpose as an impressed whistle.]

Not bad.

[With a suspiciously growl-like chuckle-]

Why, thank you.

Hey, no problem.

You can no doubt see the other reason I choose to look human, though. [A six-armed shrug.]

A little. But I'd think the not having enough arms would get a little old after a while.

Oh, there's been many times I've wished to have them all usable.

Then why not keep them?

Because as much as I might prefer my normal form, city life doesn't. Here or back where I came from.

You think that stops me?

[He'd smile if his face took it - however, he just gives a dip of his head.]

Most of us don't have the luxury of making the world fit us, rather than the other way around.

Not quiiite what I meant there.

Then clarify.

You get to look human. Me, I look like this aaaaall the time. Not that I want to be human, mind.

And you make the best of things regardless, is that it?

Exactly.

Well, it's a good point. [Another shrug.]

I thought it might be.

I suppose I've just grown used to the options that life on the smaller scale provides me. Even with its ... drawbacks.

If you're looking for more... size appropriate places, I could probably find something.

Hm, you could? When I lived here before, I lived in the desert; however, that's less convenient than it was when it was back in the days of the endless castle, and I'm considering a change of location. But other than that, do you have anything in mind?
