[he comes strolling along from the other direction soon enough, dressed in comfortably worn jeans and an old t-shirt that fits him as if it might actually be Kai's (it is). he's got his chakrams slung on his back, and his hair's pulled back in a sloppy ponytail today. presumably she gave him directions before hand, or maybe he just followed her scent here.]

Hey. Nice place.

Hey.

[Riku doesn't stop walking, but she does smirk at the comment, and raise a hand to wave a greeting. She more than likely called him with directions.]

I don't know what's in here, but it seemed like a good place.

You're telling me. I'll have to be careful where I fling fire if I don't want to cause permanent damage to anything.

[since this place is magical, but doesn't have the Konoha Reforestation Team, presumably. his goal within forests is usually just to get out of them as soon as possible. he stops walking, and leans against the railing of the path, looking relaxed.]

Mm. If it's possible to cause permanent damage in this place.

[She's not certain, but she agrees that he shouldn't just burn down everything in his path. This room is basically nothing but forest, so he'll have a had time getting out of it. It's a thick forest, too, so it should be fun in here, even if she's expecting to be slaughtered.]

Yeah. I'm not sure I want to find out, but at least it'll be a nice handicap to slow me down a little.

[I always go "yeah he'll totally kick her ass just by doing ninja leaping and shit" but then I remember the bullshit during the final boss fight in KH2. :|a he casually unstraps his chakrams and balances them on the railing so he can stretch a little. if Riku's quick she might spot a flash of gold before he turns his head to look off through the trees; Hachibi, doing his own kind of stretching, since he can.]

There were a couple less green rooms, but I thought this would be better.

[Just be glad she didn't pick a watery area! There was a really nice rainy seaside cliff, but she wasn't going to ask Axel to go in here. Also you and me both re: Riku's fighting abilities. She puts her hands in her pockets, idly watching him from the other side of the path.]

Don't plan on going easy on me, Axel.

[he beams at her, arms swinging back down from over his head so he can tick points off on his fingers.]

No killing, no irreparable maiming or limb damage, and preferably nothing that causes undergarment failure. Kai already lectured me about the first two, not that he needed to.

[Her mouth twists up like she's going to laugh, but she ends up resisting.]

Nothing is irreparable in this place. I mean, I've already lost one arm. Just as long as it's not fatal we're fine. No lecture on the third?

I only mentioned that time to him once, and it was a while ago. He probably figured I'd learned my lesson the first time, anyway.

[or, because it's Kai, didn't even think of it as being a Thing to worry about. it's been like five or six years since Kai last thought of the state of Riku's undergarments, I'd wager. /flee]
