Kingdom Hearts: World Keeper [Re:Joined]

Val Habar

In the middle of a desert lies a camp for hunters, filled to the brim with everything someone would need: A tent with beds, a chest with multiple items, all residing in a shadowy place, protecting from the burning sun. It's similiar to the camp near Dundorma.
And not to forget the reason why they decided to come here, the pond. Davis is sitting on a small wooden bridge, staring at the water with a fishing rod in his hands, his legs dangle around due to boredom.

"I didn't think catching something would take this long.", Elrena slowly approaches the young boy, looking over his shoulder. It's obvious the others aren't used to the heat at all, their faces are red and sweat pearls are all over them. Davis turns to her: "If it takes too long, you can always try catching with your hands."

Elrena rolls her eyes and walks off again, passing the tent. Kairi sits on the bed, its multiple large mattresses covered in blankets and pillows that follow the round shape of the tent. She's looking at an object in her hand while eating the last bit of fish she has left.

"A stone?", Elrena asks.
Kairi hums.
"You can put it in the chest. Stones are helpful for others who need distraction.", Viola peeks inside. Elrena gags now: "Ew, actually swallowing stones."
Viola looks at her for a moment: "Anything that comes between their teeth. Metal, hooks. You name it."
"I got another one!", Davis cheers and Master Xehanort rushes to quickly take care of the catch.

"Is there a faster method to get silver?", Xemnas questions, hesitating to bite into his share of fish.
"This is the fastest method. Unless you want to mine inside a volcano.", Viola crosses her arms. Elrena walks off again, however she trembles a bit before going onward.

"Someone should talk to her.", Master claims as he hands Viola another Sushifish, directly looking at her. She starts to awkwardly shy away: "Not me."
"But you're good with words, Vi.", Kairi says.
"Elrena's behaviour yesterday may only be the beginning of something.", Master adds and Xemnas interferes: "I believe it has something to do with Lauriam."

Kairi gasps, shutting her mouth with her hands. The four of them have the same thought. "Vi I'm too young to be killed, please talk to El!", Kairi clings onto her.

Yesterday has also been the day Kairi spoke to Viola with full seriousness. It has gotten late and the basement was safe, but the princess has been thinking for a while. And she needed to bring her thoughts across. Before everyone went inside and the others went home, Kairi stopped Viola for a moment: "Vi, I know I didn't really treat you very well since you arrived here."

The brunette looked surprised but let the red haired finish: "All I want to ask is, can we reset? Let's start from the very beginning! Maybe we can do more stuff together!"
"I thought something was wrong with me this entire time. Sure, I'd love that."

"When I said 'let's do more stuff together' , I didn't really have sitting in a hot camp and catch fish in mind." , Kairi whispers to Viola, both of them chuckle. All of the sudden Kairi pushes her friend forward: "Go talk!"
"I'm the only one who actually catches! You just eat!", Davis is heard shouting.

Viola walks off, searching for Elrena. Shortly after she leaves, Xemnas inspects something he discovered inside one of the few fish Davis cought. Going over his three-day beard soon after laying it down. It looks like an egg, but it is way smaller in size. The color, a beautiful and shiny silver. Perfectly matching No Name. "Is this enough?", he asks once Davis hands him yet another fish. He hums for a second before claiming that it may not be enough.
"We should play it safe and get a second one. This is pretty small."

Right before Davis occupies himself with fishing again, Axel appears out of a dark corridor: "I sure miss summoning these myself.", he mutters after he places a blue box on the sand. The zipper of it opens far too loudly- Axel pulls out two bottles: "Figured you guys could use water."
"Axel! You're amazing!", Kairi chants while she grabs one bottle and chugs half of it down.
