[Permanent, open interaction post for Lea (and Axel). Let me know if you'd prefer me to do a starter, or just jump in with whatever!]

"You're a musician. I think all you guys are like that." He lowered his keyblade for now, holding it casually close to his leg. "Even the ones here. But no one's got a sound like Arpeggio. I don't think I've seen that instrument at all here...at least, I don't remember seeing or hearing it."

Lea nodded toward the square again. "I don't think anyone here has heard it, either. Want to meet Radiant Garden? They're suckers for artists, you know."

He laughed gleefully and nodded. "That's a little true. My parents used to say I had my head in the clouds." His smile faded a bit, but he tilted his head, interest piqued.

"They wouldn't, it's something of a rare instrument, a sitar. It'd be pretty hard to get your hands on one around here, I imagine." Myde's spirits had been lifted at least and he winked.

"If you wanted a concert, you needed only to ask you know!"

[chakramkeyblade]

"Just as good for you as it's good for them, right?" Lea waved him off. "Go on. Go make friends." He banished his keyblade for now. "I've got to finish my walkaround. I'll catch up with you after though, okay? You'll be fine."

[melodiouspacifist]

"Alright Lea." Myde gave him a gentle little smile and left into the crowd. He'd been planning on playing anyway, to see what he could scrounge up.

He found a nice spot, selected his space and began to play. It didn't matter what he played, he played because he loved doing it, that was as simple as it was. Lea could go for a walk, however long it took to wrap things up.

Myde would play for a little while, hoping to catch some attention. He wasn't very talkative, but instead focused on the music. He wasn't sure how long Lea would be gone for, so he played for as long as he could stand it, or until he had enough munny to scrounge up for a hot dog, because he was hungry.

[chakramkeyblade]

He'd find more than some spare pocket change among the people of Radiant Garden. They had never heard an instrument like this before today. It showed in their faces the minute the first notes reached their ears. Curious, those who are simply milling through the market come closer in favor of something new to focus their attention on.

Myde would end up with enough munny to rent a room for a week by the time Lea returned from his patrol. Nothing out of the ordinary, again. No Heartless. No Nobodies. No sign of Xehanort or Isa. When he couldn't find him on the bench he'd last seen him, he explored the market, finally finding Myde near the food. Right. He did say he'd been hungry. He should have left him some money for food...ah well. He seemed to be doing okay.

"So? How'd things go? They get overly friendly on you?"

[melodiouspacifist]

It was a welcome change, how generous people had been really and he did wind up with a good amount of change. Myde was very pleased although he was careful not to spend more than he intended all the same. Not every day could be so profitable.

He sipped from a can of soda as he waved his half eaten hot dog a bit. He was a little surprised Lea did actually come back. If he had gotten busy, he'd have forgiven him. After all, it wasn't like he was invited.

"They were really friendly, yeah." He grinned. "It was a good day. They seemed to like it."

[chakramkeyblade]

"Told you." Lea smirked as he sat next to him. "And you doubted me. We're in the clear for now. Completely boring patrol, like the last twenty of 'em."

He went quiet. Not sure if he should tell Myde that he ran into Aeleus. Mentioned that he was here. The guard had asked a few questions Lea hadn't thought to. Maybe if he just casually brought them up...

"So uh... What brings you all the way out here, anyway? Why risk being swallowed up by darkness in the first place?"

[melodiouspacifist]

"That sounds kind of boring." Myde pointed out, taking a bite of his hot dog, chewing thoughtfully. He probably wouldn't be pleased to announce his presence overall, it wasn't like he'd come looking for them it just happened that he ran into Lea.

Aeleus seemed the protective type, he would want to give him the third degree, considering he just turned up out of nowhere.

"I told you, sightseeing!" He grinned a little. "Nah, I just needed to get away for awhile."

[chakramkeyblade]

"Your world that hard to deal with right now?" Lea frowned slightly. "Your parents weren't there to welcome you back?"

Then again, his mom wasn't here. Not anymore. She was still...lost.

[melodiouspacifist]

The question was getting a little personal at that point, perhaps more in depth than Myde had really wanted to go because his posture completely stiffened. He leaned forward, elbows on his knees and played idly with the bottle in his hand.

Myde considered not saying anything at all, but then again he might get chased out of Radiant Garden and then what would be his plan?

"They were there." He answered softly. "But they didn't welcome me back."

[chakramkeyblade]

He cringed at Demyx's response. Damn. Talk about an unhappy ending... Lea couldn't help but feel for the poor guy. He thought of Marluxia, Larxene, Luxord... How many of them had woken up at home only to be shunned?

"Sorry. I'm not very good at this whole good guy thing, am I."

[melodiouspacifist]

"Don't worry about it, you couldn't know...I mean, what parent doesn't welcome their kid home, huh?" Myde offered with a weak little smile.

"I don't think they were ever lost at least. They seemed healthy and everything...but it's really like I said, I wanted to take a walk on another world." He'd found his poor luck a little stifling.

"So, it's kinda bothering you guys huh?" He smiled a bit. "I should've gone somewhere else...somewhere with a nice beach."

[chakramkeyblade]

"Not a bother," he said with a shrug. "Besides, the guy you really want to talk to is Sora. You could be the most depressed person on earth and walk away cheery just by looking at that dumb smiling face of his."

He grinned. "You're welcome to stay, you know. The castle's kinda empty, except for the five of us. We're working with the Restoration Committee to get the town on its feet again. Of course Even's still kind of a jerk. He didn't change a whole lot when he became a Nobody. But at least now he's less likely to freeze you solid just by looking at him funny."

[melodiouspacifist]

He laughed at that. "Did you really expect any different? Even's always been kinda...you know." He smirked and made a rude gesture, a finger sliding into his other fist as if he'd sat on a stick or something. Clearly maturity had not transferred over to his age yet.

"That sounds like it might be okay. Gives me a purpose, right?" He parroted the words back, words he'd heard long ago when he'd lost his heart in the first place.

"But it's completely different this time." He declared boldly.
