Kira shuddered when Sashia rubbed one of her tails against her arm as the strange girl left. "Good riddance..." Kira mumbled under her breath. She knew she had to work in a team, but half-animal things were just too strange... not to mention that she looked eerily like heartless to Kira. Heartless had this.... cartoonish look to them, and she'd seen a few Nobodies too. She didn't like their looks either.

As she agonized over the idea of having to work with a kitsune, the guy she'd pointed at started yelling. Apparently he was a knight and held some sort of self-importance. He then stated the reason they were there. Again. "I know, and I was late..." Kira rolled her eyes and listened to his rant. She raised her eyebrow at Radiant Garden being called Hollow Bastion. She suppressed a smile as Nadia went on her rant about the name and some pirate talked about solar ships. [i]Cool. I'll have to ask about that later.[/i] she thought.

Kira always thought of it as home. Nothing more or less, it had always been home. Whether it was called Hollow Bastion or Radiant Garden meant little to her. Home was where she could relax and put her feet up. Names were kinda silly to get mad over. Then Leo, the knight, told them that anger was no good. Kira closed her eyes and tried to keep calm, but she couldn't stay her tongue any longer. She stepped close to the knight, quietly speaking into his ear. Her face was blank and emotionless as she spoke, "my anger or emotions are none of your business. The only reason I'm here isn't duty or altruism. It's that I hate monsters for hurting those that I love, and that I have no intention of losing my home." Kira took a breath and stepped back. "Besides, you forget. The rest of us aren't as skilled as you at making corridors of light or whatever. Some of us got here by the skin of our teeth."
