Reira had just been staying under Shugo's hospitality, a pseudo-Defender despite not thinking much of the title. Her only goal was to provide a safe haven for the refugees, perhaps she herself was one for not wanting to be involved in the war between the factions. The lady was not particularly interested in the politics or power struggle, and as for family and bonds she didn't believe they should remain within the factions as it so seems to be. Then again who was she to judge when she knew next to nothing about them except for the few leaders she had met so far.
As for today Reira was simply out enjoying the glimpse of autumn in the deserted and dilapidated ruins of what used to be a beautiful city. She simply sat atop of a piece of rubble overlooking the area around her as the cool, crisp wind danced with her hair.
Reira preferred little moments like these, it was peaceful but a little lonely. Though she wasn't one to take it for granted, given that war and violence was what the state of the nation was in now, this was the only moments of escape she had even if it had to be on her own.

From Reira's vantage point up top the piece of rubble, she would easily be able to spot a lone figure coming towards her, with what appeared to be the outline of the top of a katana on the figure's back, and a cat-shaped figure on the figure's shoulder. Taking long but relaxed strides, the edges of his frayed open karate jacket fluttering gently, Kazuya made his way down the deserted road, past the destroyed ruins lining both sides.
His constant companion, Kuro, was perched comfortably on top of Kazuya's shoulder, his tail swishing away happily. Shugo may or may not have mentioned Kazuya to Reira, considering Kazuya had been part of The Paladins now called The Defenders previously.

Upon seeing the lone figure and the outline of what seemed to be sword sheath the woman would jump off the piece of debris she was sitting on and quickly hide behind it. From there she'd try to peek and observe who it was and if they were to be of any threat. Unfortuntely she had not been keeping up with Shugo so she would not have heard of known of Kazuya. For now he was a potential enemy and Reira was on high alert for any potential threats he may pose.
She keeps quiet and shadows him as he walks from her position above. Rei would keep to the shadows and conceal herself along the debris that lined the road. As she does so, she grows more and more curious as to why the man had a cat perched on his shoulders.

Kazuya would stride past the woman's hiding spot, as he did so, cradled in his arms there was a toddler that was fast asleep, Kuro's tail flicking as he caught her scent. But as Kazuya did not seem worried, Kuro would let it go, and continue to stay perched comfortably on his owner's shoulder. Continuing to make his way down the deserted road, after a little while, Kuro would sniff the air, catching the woman's scent as she continued to trail after them, and let out a meow, causing Kazuya to stop and look over at his pet cat, his brows furrowing not in anger, but in puzzlement. Kuro meowing again, Kazuya would nod his head slightly, understanding what he was telling him, Kuro leaping off of Kazuya's shoulder and trotting out of sight. The woman would then hear a meow behind her, if she turned around, she would see Kuro sitting behind her, his tail flicking friendly. [KURO]: "Meow!" Translation: "Hello!" |

"E-ehh-ee!?!?" Reira would squeal rather loudly as she stumbled clumsly and falls onto her bottom when she felt the brush of fur against her leg.
She clamps her hands over her mouth as her eyes go wide from realizing that she revealed her location. Her emerald hues turn to look back at the black kitty and she couldn't relax just yet due to his owner being quite the scary looking guy.
For the time being the woman was stunned and just turns to look at Kazuya, wide-eyed.

Kuro meowing again, he would trot over to the fallen woman and nuzzle his head against her arm, before letting out another meow, indicating he wanted her to follow him. Kuro would then disappear from sight, though not really, he just walked back out in the road.
Kazuya having turned around fully by this time, having saw where Kuro had walked out from, he would feel movement in his arms, as he saw Kaori had turned onto her side, and had fallen back asleep.
"Da...dda..."
Kuro leaping back up onto Kazuya's shoulder by this time, he would meow quietly, making sure not to disturb Kaori. Anybody that has a baby can't be all that scary... right?

Reira would scramble back onto her feet and very much like the cat himself find her way down the road. She was cautious when following because what if it was a trap? It wasn't until she saw the child did all her fears leave her. Eyes widening she'd straighten herself up and drop her guard.
Reira decided she might as well introduce herself, and see if the kid needed any help.
"Are you alright there?"
She peered curiously wondering if the child was his, or if it was some form of kidnapping! Who knows what people around here does, child sacrifices to Barker's expiraments or train them to be some crazy warrior!?

"We're alright, she's just sleeping."
Kaori letting out a soft sigh of contentment, curling closer to her daddy as she continued to sleep away happily in her daddy's arms, the higher body temperature Kazuya gave out due to his Qi was very welcomed to the little infant.
"I'm Kazuya Hikari, you've already met Kuro, and this is my daughter, Kaori. Are you alright?"

"Oh! Your son." Reira would respond rather surprised.
She'd give him a sheepish smile upon realization and would nod lightly at the introduction.
"I'm Reira Ling. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
The lady would close the distance as she walks closer toward them now that she found that he was not hostile. Reira would stop around five feet away from Kazuya before responding to his question.
"Yes. I was just enjoying the view until I saw you walking." she glances at the sleeping Kazuki. "He's cute."
She smiles. She loved kids!

"..."
Really? Really...? Kazuya would stare rather blankly at her. And stare. And stare some more. Though not long enough to freak her out, he would snap out of his surprise fairly quickly. This makes the third girl he's met that has the name Reira? First it was his best female friend, Reira DeMorvick, and then at Public High School #774, it was Reira Nikolov. Dr. Layla Clavering he didn't really count, as her name was the English version of the name Reira, but that was besides the point.
"Likewise, it's an honor to meet you as well. Her nap time is almost over, so she should be waking up soon. Don't take it personally if she acts shy, he's like that around pretty much anyone she just met or doesn't know."
Kazuya was probably the exception, the moment he and Kaori met, an unspoken bond had been formed instantly between the two of them. As if on cue, Kazuya would feel movement in his arms, followed by hearing a yawn, and looking down, would see Kaori blinking sleepily up at him.
"Dadda..."
Looking over, Kaori would see the pretty lady standing about five feet away from them, and would instantly grab her daddy's karate jacket and bury her face in it.
