He had a different name but didn't want to give it, so she wasn't about to press the issue. "Stray it is then..." she murmured as she continued to focus on her work.
Stray's choice of words though did amuse Nikee'Da. Stealing from the bratty kids, versus actually helping the cat. She didn't say anything against it as he was seeming to be honest about it, but his way of thinking was one way to look at it. To her, he could steal and help the cat all at once, that was to the redhead's eyes though, to his he wasn't helping. The cat was safe in the end so that was all that really mattered. Stray even pointed out a cut she had missed.
"Oh yea...good eye; thanks Stray," she stated smoothly as she continued to busy her hands with removing springs and debris from the cats fur that wasn't sticky. When he started question her though about things Nikee'Da knew nothing about the looked up at him with a confused expression. That's when she realized his focus wasn't on her but the cat. Wasn't till he said thank you to the feline that her suspicions were confirmed.
"Did you...just have a conversation with a cat?" she droned confused while unsure if she should be worried or impressed as well.

 Thexian Valorian ( Thex ) [T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T] Theme Song " .. Candy."
The word itself was said calmly, as if it were a perfectly rational demand.. Likewise his outstretched hand, palm up, was just before Nikee'Da as the boy stared at her with a child-like expectation. Surely she realized he wanted payment before answering her question, it was a personal one after all.. But he would answer it, which was odd considering he normally ignored such direct prods for information. Well, she had saved him from the Cat. That was a good bonus in her favor.. and he really wanted some candy. The corner of his mouth turned up in a crooked grin and he closed his left eye playfully, adding with a light-hearted 'Mmm'. " Or meat.. and I'll let you give me a name. My real name costs a llloootttt more~"

Again she was finding herself slow to keep up or either, this young man flew completely over her head with his words, demands and mannerisms. "...candy?" she droned back in reply with a confused expression, the cat now settling into her lap more comfortably now that it no longer had stuff in its fur.
Stray eventually though was able to fill her in as he continued to hold out his hand and ask of her candy or meat. But the redhead was able to follow now as everything clicked together; normally it wouldn't have taken so long but Stray's line of thinking was strange and hard to keep up with.
"Oh you want something in return for answer my question. I wasn't aware that name's cost something," she said with a smirk. "I don't have candy and I don't have a lot of money right now to spend on sweets, I got jerky though." And pulling her bag to her, Nikee'Da fished around inside and found what she was looking for and held it up; a decently sized piece of spiced and salted meat.
She held it out at first but then took it back with a inquisitive expression. "I don't know if I should give you this though...you already gave me the name you've chosen, I don't really need any other. Though not telling me gives me more reason to seek you out again as interesting as you are. Besides, where's my payment for saving you from this cat."
Said feline gave the boy a glance content where it sat in Nikee'Da's lap for now. At some points adjusting itself to do some grooming of its own.

Thexian Valorian ( Thex ) [T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T] Theme Song " I gave you the Cat." He answered readily, unruffled by her tease.. or so it seemed. Most of his focus had shifted to that rather tempting strip of meat the moment she held it aloft.. It was only self control that kept him from eyeing it and perhaps even drooling. Thex.. could be distracted by food rather easily if he was not careful.
Still, she was not pushing to know about his and the Cat's conversation anymore so he happily let the matter go.. retracting his arm to rest his elbow upon his knee, tapping his chin thoughtfully. " We are even.. then what would you have me do for that tasty morsel? Broker information perhaps, you do not smell like a local yet you act like you know these streets so a guide would be useless to you.."

She shook her head and smirked at his response. The redhead didn't bother to say much after that due to the fact that she noticed the heightened focus Stray had on the piece of meat in her hand while at the same time not really showing it. Typically Nikee'Da was pretty good at reading body language even if it was miss leading at times.
"Besides," she said finally flailing the enticing piece of meat around. "You can't just give away cats...specially stray ones; they aren't dogs, if they don't want to stay they'll find a way out and be free...they're independent creatures."
She said this and proceeding to run a hand down the cats back; head to base of its tail. It seemed to enjoy it as it began to subtly begin to purr. It didn't really help Nikee'Da's case but if the cat wanted to stay in her lap for now she wasn't going to argue. Stray drew her attention then with mention of ways to get the morsel of food from her. He was determined that was for certain.
"No, I'm not a local, however I was raised here; only coming back after a number of years. I guess I could use a place to stay for now...I stay at an inn one night it'll break my pocket and I don't have that much to break to begin with..." sighing, Nikee'Da thought about the limited funds she had; even a cheap in would be more then she'd be willing to pay. "I didn't expect the trip would cost as much as it did..."

Thexian Valorian ( Thex ) [T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T]-[T] Theme Song " Dogs pick their Masters, if they want one. But I see your point, money is fickle and the prices around here have been off kilter for a while.." Which was why he paid it so little attention, information and favors did much better as currency.. But that jerky was motivation enough to make the boy actually consider her request. Well that.. and as he'd noted before, she didn't seem like the others he had met thus far. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing, brother didn't 'dislike' guests he just ignored them. Besides, Matimune was rarely there anyway.
" So you give me that, and count the Cat issue even, and I'll let you stay with me free of charge for however long you need to.. Deal?" The boy was offering a honest trade, no inkling of hurting or tricking the female ever touched his mind.. It simply wasn't his nature to be wicked. Not to mention he felt comfortable enough in her ability to defend herself.. and she didn't ask too many questions.

With the dog-cat thing taken care of she had no further comment on that. However, hearing about the money issue, and that it was 'off kilter' well that wasn't a comforting thought. Fickle prices and hungry desperate people didn't mix well, and that applied to certain areas of most major cities in Occulas. For Nikee'Da thought that meant even less value to the money she did have left.
Sighing, she pushed her light creamy white hood down and ran a taloned hand through her bright red hair, a anxious-nervous habit she had developed over time.
Thinking over her options and hoping Stray had some good news for her, she was honestly shocked to hear him offer up his own place for her o stay at. Free of charge and however long she needed, seemed a bit generous to her, but neither would she take advantage of the excellent opportunity. Till she got things figured out she wouldn't be disrespectful of his hospitality. Neither did she think it was a trick or a trap of some odd kind, Stray seemed too open and honest about it, and didn't give off the slightest bit of intention of being dishonest.
Plus he was interesting, and she got bored sometimes.
Chuckle she nodded. "You have a deal." With she fully offered the piece of jerky that Stray was so keen to deal for. "And thank you, I wasn't expecting you to offer up your place as an option, but its a relief. I'll do my best to not make you regret it," she said with a playful laugh.

I’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm.
And the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold,
My blood is a flood of emeralds, precious stones,
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.
I move through town, I’m quiet like a fight,
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.
Dragging the girl along with her for a few days now, Cardy had to admit she almost forgot how tiring it was to look after a young girl who was seeking guidance in a lost world. Cardy herself was still learning what everything was like outside of Zakernand and Neutral City, she'd never really travelled anywhere else during her youth. All along the way she never even gave the girl a name, or better yet the girl barely spoke. Cardy just dispatched of any creatures getting in the way and she would follow. Cardy would feed her and occasionally speak to her but nothin' much ever came from her mouth.
They were walking the city streets, t'was quite a nice city actually. Calmer than any of the others beside Shard City, and it was perhaps the most 'normal' compared to Non-magic Earth Culture. Cardy remembered what it was like, a bit mundane, far less happened actually. Passing a sign that mentioned slaying monsters for cash rewards, Cardy stopped in her tracks. "Wait" she said to the girl, observing the window and searching for any small prints before saying "we need some money, I'm dry..." she looked around to find the place that gave out bounties. Passing her gaze over teh shoulders of the girl, Cardy finally came to look her in the eyes and finally asked "Hm. Do you even have a name? I've failed to ask..." She waited with anticipated, hoping she would say something, she was guessing it was the daze of being reincarnated just slowing her down for the time being - everything would come naturally... Cardy would know.
((yayayaya so i psoted :3 we may even pass Zien and Karuso on our travels! YOU GET TO MEET THE COUPLE-TO-BE))
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I’m speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

Euphemia
The girl had been walking around for days with Cardy leading the way. She had no idea where they were going because neither of them spoke to each other fluently. There were times when Cardy would command her to cover her eyes and hid behind a tree, but after that they would continue along like nothing happened. Very often, the girl would point at certain things and what ever Cardy said it was she would repeat. Meal time was her favorite though simply because she enjoyed eating and smelling the delicious roams. She also liked siting next to Cardy and inwardly loving her motherly presence.
Around the third day they entered Neural City streets and the child was immediately surprised. There were so many people and the architecture was like nothing she's ever seen before. Cardy gently pulled her along until they stopped at a contest sign and then admitted that they were destitute. The girl copied her guardian by digging in her pockets to and amusing herself. Eventually, Cardy brought up the fact that she lacked a name and it looked like she was going to say something, but shook her head instead. Not far from them, a merchant's cart rode up with jiggling bells chiming to lure customers. She saw a tray with an assortment of rare flowers on it and pointed to the white one with the red core in the center. She rounded Cardy and walked up to old man smiling. Staring at the flower, the joy fellow laughed and said, "Looks like you spotted, Euphemia. It's a mysterious flower indeed and closes in the sunlight. It's said to have mystical powers." The girl giggled and looked into the old man's eyes. He couldn't resist and happily handed the child the flower due to her beautiful innocence. She lightly cuddled the flower and showed it to Cardy excitingly. (It's kind of like Star Dust. Awesome I can't wait to meet them!)

My blood is a flood of emeralds, precious stones,
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.
I move through town, I’m quiet like a fight,
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.
She shook her head at Cardy, making her want to sigh and stare at her with bitter disappointment. How long was this going to last? Cardy had to wonder what exactly she was going to do with this lost girl if she's more brain-dead than the alst she helped. Though... she was a tad crazy... but this girl seems to be far more controllable. With that she wiped a sweat from her forehead and noticed that she was gone. She twisted quickly, and found that she had wandered off to a stool selling different flowers as trinkets. Cardy let the girl have some fun for the moment whilst she continued to look around the immediate area for signs leading to the bounty giver.
The girl then arrived again, but this time holding out a white flower to Cardy's gaze. "huh?" she began, then looking down and adding "oh... It's but a flower... " she then shook her head and lifted her shoulders "Whatever takes your fancy i guess. Come on". She gestured for the girl to follow, and together they explored further, when finally it came to Cardy, "hey... maybe your name should be Euphemia. You're albino with - " she looked at her "red... eyes. Ah" she said, then noticing the right place.
Cardy took but a few moments walking in and getting the information that she needed for the bounty. There were a creature in the local woods, surprising visitors and sometimes snagging them. Apparently it's only been around a few days but if left it will ust become less afraid and more threatening to anyone passing through. "It's shy" Cardy said, shoving some paper in her basket, briefly revealing the reflecting of her two silver guns beneath the cloth. "But if we find it it'll be dead in no time."
This is the start of how it all ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I’m speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

Euphemia
Even though the girl didn't announce it, she wanted Cardy to be more proud and congratulating towards her first gift. The blonde basically shoved the dull object aside and gestured for the child to follow. She pocketed the flower in one of her from apron pockets, and as they walked she checked on it frequently. While heading to the bounty giver, Cardy finally turned to her and properly assigned her a name. "Euphemia." the albino repeated happily realizing that it was the same name as her flowers. Eventually, they stopped at a booth and a slender man handed Cardy some transcripts of the beast's sighting. She placed her papers in her basket and Euphemia got a glimpse of the guns. She was ready to grab for one, but Cardy turned to quickly and she instantly pulled up. Euphemia didn't understand, but she had a feeling that they were heading out for another long journey.

Cardy exited the small building and came out with two bags of precious coins. Walking straight up to Euphemia she handed the girl one of them and said "Here, spend it on what you like" with a short smile across her face. Cardy knew the girl deserved some kind of reward, but parts of her thought that Euphemia wouldn't even know what to do with it, and that reminded her about the flower, she then added "Though, it seems you're capable of getting things for free around here..." scratching the back of her head. She stuffed her own coin bag into her basket and then looked around, "we need a map" she muttered to herself. One would think she'd know her way around, but then against she's only ever spoken about Neutral City and Zakernand, its more than likely she's never been anywhere else and for a young girl its even more likely. Whilst inside the building the guy giving the bounty did ask if he should be giving commendations to Hope Academy, but Cardy had to turn him down and admit she's never been to the place. Her skill were natural.
One of the nearby shops had a map available, and just a few coins got them what she wanted, that was when Cardy came back to Euphemia quite quickly and said "now... just a short rest..." as she searched through a satchel on her side, it looked old and tattered. From it she brought out a handful of small rectangular, black runes. There were four or five of this black little things with white symbols etched onto their surface. Without any further ado she tossed them high into the air above her, and the wind did not take them nor did she miss her catch when they all effortless made their way back into Cardy's palm. Opening her fingers she examined which symbols were showing and silently they had answered her question she'd asked in her head.
She then sighed in a gloomy betrayal of the runes, she rolled her eyes and hissed "Still no tracks! You'd have thought if you can find the presence then you can find the source..." before looking up at Euphemia. Sewing her lips shut Cardy put her hand son her hips and asked "Where shall we go, hm?", sh new the girl probably wouldn't answer, but then something else came to mind. "Hey, where did your sword go?.. Better yet where did it come from?"
This is the start of how it all ends

Euphemia
Euphemia waited on the steps outside of the building. She swayed back and forth nonchalantly, sometimes losing her balance, until Cardy arrived with the loot. Handing her a lumpy, also a little bit heavy bag, Euphemia glanced at it in confusion. Cardy told her she could spend it, but the question is on what and how? Cardy commented how she got stuff for free with her childish charms, and assumed she could make it on her own. Euphemia smiled and watched as Cardy searched the streets for a map because she guessed they were in need of one. She was obviously fooled because this whole time she thought her guardian knew this center like the back of her hand. Before Euphemia knew, Cardy was rummaging through an old weathers sandal that she pulled black runes out of. The child had never seen these mystical objects, but when Cardy threw them into the air it was a sight to behold. Catching them, Euphemia eyed the with white marks but didn't understand what they meant or why Cardy was upset.
She spoke to Euphemia as if you did understand, but at least she nodded to give her some kind of response. As they were about to leave, Cardy turned to her and asked about her enchanted sword. Instantly, she held up her wrist with the flower around it and gave it a tug, yet it didn't budge or snap like a normal flower would. "Here!" she announced proudly as her stomach rumbled. "Hungry..." she stated looking down at her stomach.

Cardy hung her head low at the girl's response, even after she did suggest that the blade was now that silly flower around her wrist. Rolling her eyes and straightening her back she looked up to the sky as she said "A random magical sword - great gift old man." she looked back to Euphemia and said "you really are just a kid aren't you? Let's find some food I guess im hungry as well".
The two of them looked around for some place to eat, eventually they found a restaurant that had outside seating on this warm day. Soon the two of them were enjoying their meal on a nice wooden table outside with a cool breeze blowing through their hair. Cardy sat with one leg over the other, her basket at her side. She was eating a simple soup with some bread and had a simple glass of water too. Occasionally she would throw the runes into the air and ask them more questions in her head, but each time they failed her before she had another angry sip of her soup. "So, Euphemia" Cardy began, "Do you still not remember anything? If not, we should go to the Grand Library of Kuj'anast to see if it'll jog your memory, either way that place is useful to me. Got a lot of books to look through..."
