Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 14: Frustrations

/Flash Back Dream Sequence\

Ai! Come on now, can't ye teach me just a lil? I won't take up too much of ye time Isa.

Its not about that Cait. You are a machine. Machines process the world in a much more pragmatic and analytical manor. Something like reading tarot cards will never be quite the same for you as it is for me.

But, can't we just try? Please. 'Ave always wanted to learn...

-The 12 year old socially awkward preteen sighed softly. He had noticed that when ever he took his cards out during a stressful moment to calm himself, the cat bot always seemed to stare. And it seemed he had finally gotten up the nerve to ask about them. Isa had not expected however that Cait actually wanted to learn to read... how did one teach a robot to go on there intuition, when they didn't technically have one? Sure, Cait had personality, that which no one could deny, but that did not mean he was a person.-

Cait... you aren't going to get out of it as much as you would think. Its not--

I know I know! But... its just so... magical.

-Isa blinked turning to look at the bot finally. He tended not to like to look at people, eyes starting at him tended to make him severely uncomfortable, though he guessed it was ok since Cait's eyes were usually closed... mostly.-

But you are a machine, why would you care about divination, or magic for that matter?

Ai! It be a different kind O' magic! One even science can't describe! Ain't that the beauty of it though? Its different, it can't be measured, an' people love et so much! It makes people smile!

-Isa paused, frowning, he had never thought about it like that before. It was strange to think that someone like Cait would care so much about something that for all intensive purposes should have frustrated him for being so unpredictable.-

...You wish to be human sometimes, don't you?

...I...

-Isa shook his head with a weak smile to himself.-

Alright. I'll teach you.

Wha?! Ya really mean it Isa?!

-The Cat bot practically tackled the boy leading to cards going flying everywhere. They felt out of the chair Isa was sitting in, the bluet grunting before sitting up flustered. the two looked at one another a moment before breaking out into embarrassed laughter. Maybe Cait was more like a person than Isa could appreciate.-

\End of Dream Flash Back/

-Saix was awoken from slumber by a sharp knock to his bedroom door. He winced as he attempted to sit up in the bed, only to let out a soft cry of pain... yeah, his arm was definitely hurt. Vexen had looked at it the night before, and had determined Saix needed at minimum 2 weeks of rest for it to heal right. Well, whom ever was here to see him certainly was not Axel, he would have just walked himself right in.-

Saix? Are you alright? I am coming in.

-Saix gasped as Cotton whom had been asleep next to him on the bed sprung awake. She had heard the voice at the door and quickly hopped down, wiggling with excitement to meet a new person. Saix hissed in worry-

Cotton! Come back here!

-He had not told a soul aside from Axel about the rabbit, and not only would it be something someone could hold over him with Xemnas but they could-- oh... oh dear. Xemnas opened the door blinking to see the fluffy ball of white come scurrying right up to his feet to play with his boot laces. The man had not laid eyes on a rabbit this close up in years! His brain tried to process why a rabbit was in Saix's room, and of course came to the only logical conclusion that Saix brought it here. How adorable. The man had never thought about the prospect of others owning pets in the castle. It had just never come up.-
