Active Animations: Kafei leans on his one of his legs, shifting between the two every so often. He'll tend to move his hands and nod his head in understanding.

Conversation:

"I've never seen you around. Are you new, too?"

>Yes

"That's pretty cool, come on. I'll show you around. I know some good Taverns where you can stay the night for free as long as you drink till you black out.

>No

"Huh, must have not been paying attention enough, sorry about that. I'm Kafei. And you are? Do you need any help with anything?"

[clockwork-kafei]

Oh--ah! So sorry old boy, I didn't see you there! Or, well, I wasn't looking. I mean--that shattered glass won't be TOO dangerous, will it?

-Gasps as his glass flew from his hand, turns to see Shad, smiles weakly and waves it off-

Hello, Shad! No its alright! I wasn’t holding it well enough… I’ve had.. well, I’ve had a bit too many tonight. Heh. We can just walk over it. 

How are you?

clockwork-kafei:

C-clumsy? Me? You must be mistaking me for someone else haha! The costume is perfect. You got it just right! I’m incredibly impressed. Don’t worry, I’m going to keep it nice.

You look fantastic yourself. How do you stay so slim?

[chuckles] Of course. I trust you will.

Ah, thank you. I aim to impress, always. The slim figure is perhaps hereditary. I personally think it's simply a result of my height. There aren't many tall, plump fellows, hm?

[clockwork-kafei]

Well, well, if it isn't the clumsy keaton. How are you fairing this evening? Do you find the costume to your liking? Try to keep it looking new, hm?

C-clumsy? Me? You must be mistaking me for someone else haha! The costume is perfect. You got it just right! I’m incredibly impressed. Don’t worry, I’m going to keep it nice.

You look fantastic yourself. How do you stay so slim?

[jamesrodaline]

You're the bloke that...

clockwork-kafei:

Ha! I was raised in a place where people always wore masks. You kinda learn to memorize people with or without them. Plus your haircut is a bit of a giveaway. -smiles-

I’m a bit in the same boat. Wanted to come for the fun but avoiding people is kind of what I’m doing at the moment.

Ah? That's interesting... [tries glancing up at his hair before realizing that no, that's not possible] I'd keep the hood up, but it's bloody hot enough as is.

[looks back down at him] Avoidin' people? Why's that, eh? I didn't really want to come at all but... [shrugs] Gotta say though, it's a little irking that everyone wants to dance with my date. I'm not very fond of social interactions...

[jamesrodaline]

Hey, "Doc"! It's been a while. How are you? I've never seen you so clean! -laughs-

Ack. [lifts his mask a little and looks down] Oh, you’re the bloke that thought I’d have to use rib cutters to fix some bruises. [chuckles] Surprised ye recognized me. What, with this damned mask and all.

Trust me, this ain’t by choice. My girl wanted me t’come. At least I didn’t hafta shave… [replaces mask] How ya been, anyways?

When it Rains || Kafei & Link

With his jacket held high over his head, Kafei ran up to the doors of the barn hoping to shade himself from the rain. His jacket was soaked, its normal brown darkening and soaking in the water like a sponge. The crook of the roof gave him a bit of shelter and as he hid under it he began to ring out the drenched fabric. 

Kafei's shoes stuck to the mud as he turned to open the door and he groaned in response when it wouldn't budge. Why would he lock it?! Come on!! He knocked loudly hoping for a response.

"Link?! I didn't expect it to be wet out." He called over his loud environment. "I didn't know if you still wanted to spar or- I just came anyway.. Ca-Can you open the door?!" He walked in place periodically to make sure he wouldn't become stuck. There was no way they were going to spar outside today. It was far to sticky in the mud and slippery in the grass. Maybe the barn would have enough room? "Link?!"

Unlikely Reunion || Link & Kafei

Concentrate, Kafei thought as he felt energy flowing around him. Sitting cross legged on the fountain, he couldn't bring himself to the peace of mind he wanted. His thoughts were full of worry concerning payments and job searches. Purchasing a home with no income was a bad idea. Staying in inns would have been cheaper. Why didn't I just stick with that? Ever since his relationship with Jasdaë dried up his earnings sure followed. It was pitiful. I can't even street perform like we had planned. No one would care to watch smoke explode without my flame dancing nearby…

The flower he had been trying to pull out of the ground by its roots snapped into a million little pieces as his focus broke. He had been trying to lift it carefully and then present it to a girl across the way with cheeks as pink as dawn, but she was startled by the sudden explosion of weeds and took off. He sighed as he hopped down from the stone and wiped his hands. Patience, Kafei. He planned to try again tomorrow.

He was ready to head back for home when he looked out across the way and felt his heart freeze inside his chest. How long had it been since their last meeting? 

This isn't real. This can't be. Slowly, he walked forward, his hands reaching out helplessly in front of him as he inched towards this familiar stranger. His voice was caught in his throat and the words he wanted to say drowned with him. He forced himself to stop and stood there till their eyes met.  Relief did not flow through him as his identity was confirmed. He felt as though he'd seen a ghost, the ghost of someone long dead. His clothes were foreign, skin matted with dirt and blood, and his arm and nose... deformed... They treated him like an animal. Kafei forced himself to act and look past the cold gaze of his long lost friend.

"L-Link… you're alive."
