Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hotaru got a confused look on his face. "How'd you know about A? Oh....the king probably said something while I was getting some rest.....yeah. Teal hood, haven't seen her face, but.....I've got a feeling it's someone I know." He shrugged. "What about her though?"

Leon nodded. "You don't need to apologize. Just don't let him know he's gotten under your skin. It's not like he's doing it to bother you, it's just how he is........shall we go?" He was starting to move towards the door.

Hotaru started strumming his fingers angrily. "Look Merlin, if you got some answers, spill now. This whole run around thing is pissin me off. I get enough of that anytime she's around. So either cough up, or just forget it." He sighed, and shook his head. "I'm not some dumb kid, and I really wish you people would start realizing that."

Leon sighed. "So, what exactly is Hotaru to you now anyways? I mean, you only got that pissed when him and I were going at it, and now that he's called you, you come fuming........." He shook his head. "Acting like a scorned lover or something....." He waved his hand as he said that, and kept walking.

Hotaru swore under his breath. "You know, after spending most of your life being lied to, you kinda figure out whenever some is. Tell Leon he can scold me or whatever later. I don't think I'll be headed back there anytime soon though." He reached over and terminated the transmission before walking out of the room, and demanding that he be taken to King Mickey.

Leon nodded. "Alright, just don't.....nah. I don't need to say it...." He muttered as he opened the door to Merlin's. "Hey Merlin, mind giving me a few minutes with the kid?" He called out as soon as he saw Merlin's form in front of the monitor.

Leon swore under his breath, then gave a sigh. "Right.....as dense as the kid comes across.....he's actually too sharp for his own good sometimes....."He walked over to Merlin, and patted him on the shoulder. "I have a feeling the king will be contacting us shortly....so, whatever was said, we'll discuss it then..... He turned and looked at Anna. "Alone. Sorry, but it's official business...."

As soon as Hotaru was led to the throne room, he shoved the doors open, "Look. Send someone else to Radiant Gardens. I.....I can't deal with them right now. To many damn secrets and lies....so I'll just pick somewhere else to go, and you can let them know when they've found the keyblade wielder." He turned and stormed right out, refusing to give anyone a word in to detour him from his decision.

King Mickey stayed very still, looking very serious after Hotaru left. "Someone prepare the communications room right now. Merlin and Leon had better know what's going on......." He then gave a sigh, and started walking.

Hotaru marched straight onto his ship, picked a location at random and started prepping it to take off. "Should be outta here in a couple of minutes." He muttered.

As King Mickey arrived, the communication was already starting to connect to Merlin's house.

Leon reached over, and flipped it on the moment he heard it. "So, what's he gone an done now?" He asked with a sigh.

Mickey shook his head. "What have you done now, is the better question. Something about secrets and lies. We do not need a keyblade wielder growing darkness in his heart. That would be catastrophic. All that power in the hands of whoever is guiding the heartless this time?" His tone was short, and actually angry, a very rare occurrence.

((Just an update with the July 4th/400 posts pictures of the brownie cake I made, despite various attempts by me and my family members, I cannot get the computer to read my chip and cannot find my usb cord, BUT we ordered a new one just a few minutes ago but unfortunately we think it might be here in a week. I will try to find a different computer in that time but right now it looks like it will be a week before I can put them up.))

((It's not a real big deal. I mean, I can't wait to see the pictures, but a week isn't all that long. So really, don't worry about it too much. I'm just glad you did something so amazing!))

Hotaru walked over to her. "Which means you've got ears on the King. Cause I only told him that." He shook his head. "Look, I hate secrets, and I hate being spied on." He turned away from her, and continued with the preflight prep.

King Mickey nodded. "So, you think any heartless could infiltrate my castle...." He sighed. "Merlin my friend, I have constant scanning. I do patrols myself." He held up his arm, showing his charm. "They know I am a dangerous enemy. Not even when I was gone did they dare move on the castle."

Leon looked at Merlin, and gave a sigh. "...........There's only been one person who's stayed with you, and has feelings for Hotaru....." He glanced at King Mickey. "I suggest having Hotaru's ship communications made very secure, we can use that as a go between."

King Mickey nodded. "Very well." He turned to an attendant. "Ground Hotaru's ship. Do not let him leave, even if you have to damage the ship. At all costs, he is to remain here." he watched the attendant leave, and turned back. "Then you know who this A is Leon.......I'm sure it wont be long for Hotaru to figure it out either.......he really is too much like you some times." He gave a small smile with that.
