“If you don’t know anything, you should just keep your opinions to yourself. Everything works better that way,” Kami snapped back, grabbing hold of the carrier. She thought about shaking it, but she quickly decided against it, realizing it would be too cruel. Instead, she just held tightly to it. “And you!” She said, waving one hand toward Vega while keeping the other one clasped to the cage. “How do you handle these imps? More importantly, how do you take orders from them like that? Nothing good comes form being that passive.” Of course, Kami was one to talk, for she would quietly accept any jobs given to her, only grumbling to herself as she completed the task. She was simply unwilling to listen to anything related to Bellus Pupa or Zac. She learned a long time ago that listening to Zac was the worst possible thing to do. She would follow orders from Bellus Pupa before following any from Zac…

"Huh!? Uhhh.... Umm..."
Vega grew nervous at the sudden criticism. After a few seconds, he looked down, remaining quiet. Vega knew he was a passive person, but he always hated it when people criticized his personality. He couldn't help it if he followed orders out of sheer politeness, and also because he was afraid of taking no for an answer.
"Hey, not his fault he's a worthless human."
Asta said, chuckling as she elbowed his head softly.

“Unfortunately, I agree about the worthlessness of humans. You can pretty much blame us for most the problems in the world.” Kami sighed, finally letting go of the carrier, where Lauri had a fist raised in her direction. He would not attack, for Yoru was eyeing him suspiciously, and he feared the little doll could fight his way into the cage, through the bars. He had seen them as a barrier to freedom, but he also knew they were there to guard him, too.
“I still don’t think listening to imps all the time is overly smart, though,” Kami finally said, once again bring the conversation back around to the imps. Even though it was said to Vega, it was more a reminder for herself. Eyes still on the carrier, she addressed both the imps, “How do we know you’re not working with Bellus Pupa and Divinations?”
“I would never willingly let myself be trapped in any form of box. Have you not noticed my anger over your impudence?”

Vega remained quiet, not saying any words. He didn't feel like answering Kami, especially after he got snapped at. It didn't make him mad necessarily, but rather, it made him nervous to say or do something wrong. Asta remained quiet, smiling with her eyes closed.
"......"

“Well, I can’t say I trust her smile,” Kami mumbled, once again waving a hand in Asta’s direction. It seemed she liked to wave her hands around a lot, or something. “But I guess you’re right. You didn’t really seem happy about the whole thing…” Kami felt slightly defeated, but it was mainly because she was bested by some imp. Of course, one could just as easily tell her she had that very same imp locked up, so once could say she was technically winning, but she wouldn’t think of this on her own. “I guess I can trust you. I just don’t think I can trust Yoru with you. He’s all for picking on those bigger than him, and he is especially fine picking on something his own size…” This was actually relatively true, but if that was the case, then Paven, Tsurara, and Kori would have all been attacked as dolls, and he would have been giving Asta some threatening looks, too. He had done none of those (though he was quite fine with attacking Kori, but that was entirely different), so that was not the case. Lauri ran, so Yoru had chased. “How do you plan to deal with having an imp?" she asked Vega, and then quickly adding to Asta, “And how do you handle having a human?”

"You're right, I need to keep her in control."
He then smiled, letting go of his small ordeal. He had to keep confidence, especially if he was to accomplish what he came here for.
"But I'm still curious as to how and why Bellus Pupa would grab a hold of these... imps... Do they even have a purpose?"
He had wondered. Hansi didn't answer much of his questions, and that only lengthened his investigation.

“No idea,” Kami answered plainly. She poked Yoru once in the side, but other than leaning slightly to one side, he seemed to ignore it.
When Kami did not react to his “threatening” fists, Lauri finally gave up, plopping back onto the floor. He sat Indian-style near the front of the carrier but far enough so Yoru would not be able to reach him through the bars. “I also have no clue as to why we have been sent out, but I do know it was the strange man in the gold that caught us. I think the lunatic was the cause of all it, but whether he has a hidden reason or was merely doing it for sheer enjoyment, I do not know.”

"Hmm...."
He scratched his chin. The cage then made Vega realize it; he needed to show Asta who's boss. He then realized something.
"MY BAG!"
He yelled, looking around.
"Where's the tree I slept at!?"
"You slept on a tree?"
Asta asked, scratching his head.
"Well... Where else am I supposed to sleep? I've never been to Gaia before."
He sighed once more, before hanging his head. That suitcase had what he "needed"

“You slept on a tree?” Kami asked, repeating what the imp had just said. “You could get a place to stay.” Kami said matter-of-factly, still completely bewildered by the prior statements. She knew he wasn’t normal, but geez… “I mean, you could even find a place at my apartment complex. I think Zac and the landlord scare enough people off for there to be open rooms.” Still confused, she babbled on some more. “And why do you need that suitcase, and why did you leave in lying around?”

"I had no choice, I got here about midnight, and I was tired. I slept on a tree... I believe in this park somewhere."
He nodded, feeling proud of the fact he remembered. He then thought about what was in the suitcase.
"That had.... it had my lunch in it. Which was an apple, and a sandwich."
"You really are pathetic."
Asta said, sighing.

Kami might have burst out laughing if Vega didn’t confuse her so much. Instead, she just gave him a quizzical look, one eyebrow raised. “If you really need food, I could just give you money, you know,” Kami offered, picking up the carrier, which sent the imp grabbing onto the bars for support until it steadied. For some reason Kami felt the need to help people, especially those who were so strange that they reminded her of Zac, and Vega was one such person. One might even call this quite strange, seeing as Kami tried to put up a tough front, but she couldn’t stand the guilt if she didn’t offer aid to those around her.

"I had clothes too. I have my knighthood uniform too, which I need as well."
He added, pressing his fist against his chest.
"I must find my items before investigating! But now I know that the imps are unaware of being captured and sent to random people, that's for sure."

“Yeah, that stuff might be helpful,” Kami admitted, though she was mostly talking about the normal clothes, for she really had no clue what use the knighthood uniform was. She was willing to give him money for food, but that was as far as she would go. “Now, I have to ask… Do you remember anything more than ‘you left it near the tree’, ‘cause we’re in the middle of a park, and I think that may just be too vague of a description.” Just as always, Kami scooped Yoru up without warning, and before he could yell out complaints, she shoved him into her bag. This didn’t stop him from screaming muffled ones from inside the bag, though.

"It was near some sidewalks, along with.... a structure of some sort."
He added, one eye open from thinking about the area, the other squinting. He had little memory where he left his items, since it was late at night, and he was sleepy.

“That…doesn’t help at all,” Kami replied with one eyebrow raised, ignoring the movement inside her bag as Yoru angrily jabbed at her, still upset from being put away. “I guess…we just have to look around…?” It was more of a question than a suggestion, for Kami really wasn’t sure how to found things in the park. The only things she had ever lost were thanks to Zac, and usually Zac would magically find those, even if it did sometimes take a few weeks before they showed up again… Other than that, Kami was too busy checking and rechecking to make sure she had everything she brought with her in her hands. Maybe this is why she sometimes lost Zac and the twins in the park…
