Kalan walked side by side with Boogie, her eyes straight ahead as she moved. She could feel the desert heat pounding down upon her and she brushed the back of her hand across her brow to dry the sweat, her feet shifting in the sand as she listened to the words spoken to her. She nodded her head to show that she heard, but she offered no input to the conversation. She wasn't much of a conversationalist.
She continued on as Boogie spoke to her, giving her a description of the one called Laharl and she nearly bumped into Yukichii. She caught herself as she stood mere inches from his form, her eyes looking up at his figure; his words once again insulting. She held back an irritated titter, her head turning to the side and she let go a soft 'hmph' before eying Boogie and shaking her hair from side to side; showing her annoyance and she headed after him.

Boogie chuckled as he listened to Yukichii's critique, "You seem to be as much of a child yourself. While Laharl has much growing up to do, he has both strength and the blood of Krichevskoy. Now we need strength to tame the wild and overly ambitious, and in time there is the chance he will grow to be more like his father. That would be very fortunate for the long term."
Boogie turned his attention to Kalan and her irritation. Spite can be a powerful motive, but often an empty one that does little good in the long run. A new tone would be best for the conversation. Boogie inquired, "I noticed that you carry with you an old doll. It must mean a great deal to you, no?"

Yukichii nodded his head as if he was listening, though he wasn't. He had no interest in whomever this person was that Boogie had been speaking of, nor did he have any interest in Boogie himself. His feet shifted through the sand, the high boots he wore protecting him from getting any inside, his pace quickening as they neared their destination.
He hummed a soft tune to himself as he strode, his eyes set straight ahead as he watched for the portal. He was in no mood to stay in the sun for much longer, his determination to get out of the heat and away from the other two heightened with each passing moment.

Kalan couldn't help but snicker as she heard Boogie's insult towards Yukichii, he did act rather childish in her opinion. It was fine for her to act that way, she honestly didn't remember anything other than her childhood, which was painful enough to not even count. She had a reason to be the way she was, she hadn't experienced the childish games and fun times others had, it was only dair that she got her fun now; but she also didn't know how else to act...
"Is Laharl nice?"
She tilted her head to one side, listening as Boogie spoke, offering up her question only when she was sure he had finished. She began to skip a little, rather than walk, her heart fluttering with the idea of other people close to her age that she could talk to and make friends with. She had always been rather quiet and unfriendly, which she knew she would be once she got to their destination; but it still excited her.

Boogie scratched his chin, "To be honest, Laharl can be very conceited... and selfish... and hard-headed... nice is definitely not one of his traits. However, there are many who reside in the castle with personalities of all sorts. I'm certain you could make a few friends."
Boogie remained lost in thought, contemplating on how he would sell Laharl on permitting him to have a pupil. In all likelyhood it would not take that much convincing to get Laharl's consent. More pressing would be to get his hands on the snack he hid in the fridge. Boogie inquired, "You like pudding?"

((Pass. This conversation doesn't really include me so I'll jump back in after we reach the portal.))

"Hmmm.."
Kalan hummed lightly as she shimmied along, not quite walking, or skipping; her movement could only be described as childlike. She listened as she hummed, her hair swaying from side to side, her behaviour very unlike her normal state.
"Pudding?"
She stopped in her tracks, her eyes lighting up and she stared at Boogie. Her eyes appeared to glaze over, her mouth half open as she nodded her head a few times and she blinked up at him wildly.
"You have pudding?"

Boogie became somewhat unsettled at Kalan's reaction. He cocked his head, "Why yes I do, it's hidden in the fridge back at the castle. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, I have a bit of a sweet tooth."
Sensing that they were close to the dimensional gate, Boogie noted, "We're pretty close, I'm still a little surprised that we arrived without incident"
Boogie leaned over to Yukichii and whispered, "How about becoming my student? I'll teach her magic, and I'll teach you how to talk to girls."

Yukichii came to a halt as he spotted the shimmering portal several yards ahead of them. The other two were still chattering behind him and he slipped his hands from his pockets, stretching his arms over his head and yawning loudly. He turned to the sound of the voice near his ear and he squinted, obviously not impressed with the words.
"I'll pass. I don't need your help, if you want to play with children, however, be my guest." He snorted and turned an eye on Kalan, his gaze wandering over her form slowly. He knew she wasn't a child physically, but her mind and actions seemed to state otherwise. He turned back to the gate and continued moving, nearly to his destination.

"Oh, I like pudding too."
Kalan sounded a bit dejected, realizing that there was probably no pudding for her, her eyes hitting the sand as she continued on. She kept her arms at her sides, her pace slowing from excitement, to just plain movement. She stopped as she heard the others come to a halt, her eyes lifting to the back of Yukichii's head as he stared ahead; her eyes shifting around him. She noted the shimmer that was ahead of them, guessing that it was what they had been searching for.
"Hmph."
The noise was forced as she turned her head away, noting that Yukichii had laid his eyes on her, her form taut as she tried not to look at him. He had a way about him, it was arrogant and irritating, yet she knew that he could be gentle and she wondered if he ever would be again. She let her gaze drop to the sand again, waiting until she knew he wasn't looking anymore and she glanced up; watching the two of the men whispering and she scowled at not knowing what was going on.
