#[HELP ME KURAPAPA

"You can pet him if you want", it's a gesture toward the bright orange—almost fiery red—cat resting in their arms, looking rather imposing and disinterested. Although, Akira smiles, somewhat weary, an assurance that it truly would be fine. "He likes being praised as well. Don't you, Mimi?" to which said cat yawns, causing Akira to laugh in response. "I...think being close to animals can help the soul, especially now", after so much was lost and so much was gained. (EINAR. POSTTYPE0. not sakitty but. other kitty

He wouldn't be here, in Rubrum of all places if it weren't for his wife. Finding the remining of her family and friends is his new mission. He's no longer a captain in the Milites Army--heck, there is no longer Army to go back to, and good riddance if he can say that.

Would things be different had more people objected to Cid's plans? Who knows, and nothing can be gained with wishful thinking. What happened, had happened. People are still grieving their lost ones. No amount of apologizing he can do to ease a mother's pain or a child's for losing their family. Their blood is ...indeed on his hands. That's why he will do whatever he can to move on. His left hand reached to squeeze on his now unfunctional right magetik arm. So much had happened and he is not one bit regretful that he lost the use of his right arm. A small price, yes? perhaps...

This young man is familiar, he had seen him before--Rubram soldier? Mm.. no. He can't recall his position but he knows he was probably the only one pulling the cadets' bodies out of the rubble even when they are dead and no longer able to remember them. It struck something in the captain's heart to see that. To defy that fate the crystals set upon them--forget the dead, don't be dragged by the sadness. Yet, this guy was risking his life for ...the dead, too. How bizarre. At least, Einar is grateful that a gentle soul managed to survive this hellscape.

Though what initially made him come to a stop was not the young man, but his companion. Animals because of the war fled away from cities so it was rare to see them back to where people are. The cute feline definitely won his heart instantly--any cat would. So, when the offer to pet it was available, he wouldn't say no to this chance.

" . . . Alright," Einar took a step forward, leaning to reach his left hand towards the majestic looking feline. At first, he was hesitant. Not because he was scared of it, he was scared for it. The foolishness and greed of humans what made this little poor guy homeless. It does not take a genius to see that it belonged to someone who took good care of it.

Fingers carefully touching the cat then opt to scratch its head softly before he eased in to stroke its fine fur. Yeah, this is therapeutic alright. He missed Vitalis now. The white cat had to stay with his uncle until they finish their business her in Rubrum.

"True ..." he voice trailed off in thoughts. If only ...

"Mimi...is it? Is it your cat?" now a soft smile finally managed to curl his lips. "He is indeed a fine cat," popping its nose.

"Kunagiri, I have a request to make of you, if you don't mind. I need someone to acquire a specific item for me."

Machina was stopped by a sudden flock of birds flying above him, their shadows cast upon him until they flew away. Birds ... how lucky they are; to be free and unbothered with what happens on the ground.

In his moment, he heard his name being called so he turned around to see the source. “Commander!” he fixed his posture in respect. “Request, ma`am?” he blinked at her. Why him? Didn’t she have ...her own class cadets to ask ? That’s...strange. 

“Ma`am, I have no problem helping but does Commander Kurasame knows of this?” after all, he is HIS commanding officer and leaving without permission is not accepted.
