[Yuffie's off as quickly as Ven, the ground flying beneath her as she takes to the roof tops. It's easier to move this way and she's able to watch the comings and goings of the street below.

She doesn't see the other hero as she sides down a particularly steep roof, her boots clacking against the shingles making most of those on the street below glance up to see the ninja.

She doesn't mind an audience but hopefully no one is below her when she lands on the sidewalk because there is no way to dodge them from the angle she's falling at. It's at least a loud decent.]

[Ven picks up on the clacking footsteps somewhere nearby, but given the abundance of noise and new sounds all around, he doesn't give it much thought, let alone bother with a glance.

And so with ridiculously bad timing, he happens to swiftly sidestep a Bangaa pushing along a cart -- which puts Ven directly in the path of Yuffie's descent. Good news is, she's loud enough at this point to definitely get his attention and he quickly turns around; bad news is he's still not fast enough to move in time. The most he can manage with that split-second's notice is to bring his arms up in something of a half-catch, but unless Yuffie's particularly quick in her own reaction, they're both going to end up in a heap on the sidewalk.]

[Yuffie’s eyes widen as she spots someone below her though she doesn’t recognize Ven right away. Instead she’s focused on turning her hips slightly in midair while throwing her arms around Ven’s neck as she falls. He might be able to catch her but they’ll still end up on the ground. Yuffie’s landing isn’t so bad since Ven is kind enough to cushion her fall. She gently rubs the back of her head while rising herself off Ven.]

Oh no… ow...

[She looks at him now, the familiar face clicking in her thoughts and she jumps off him, her knee accidently sinking into his chest as she moves.]

Oh Shit it’s you!

[Yuffie remembers their conversation fully after a moment while realizing that people are staring. This city isn’t used to the hero’s antics just yet.

She reaches down and holds out a hand for Ven to take.]

Whoops. Are you hurt? [She knows the answer but it’s nice to ask right? Well, nice-ish. Mooshoo catches up after a moment and gives Yuffie a hard stare. It’s much like the stare of a father silently telling his child to say sorry.] I mean… sorry about that. Thanks for sorta almost catching me?

[In contrast, Ven's fall is considerably more painful, although he does avoid hitting his head, thankfully, and his coat's sleeves keep him from getting scraped up on the cement. Unfortunately, she still knocks the wind out of him, and his Keyblade is now digging into about a dozen places on his back. Even so, he's about to ask if she's okay -- but that knee in his chest strangles his voice and adds just enough pressure to where his weapon's prodding his lower back to make him cry out.

As soon as she's off him, he quickly rolls onto his side with a groan, unsure which of his fifteen or so new bruises hurts most. Well, he can't exactly say "no" to being hurt now, but Ven still shakes his head.]

It's -- okay -- what were you--?

[Then he looks up and realizes who it is. He blinks at her once, again when he realizes he still doesn't have a name to call her by, and then finally notices her hand. He takes it and rises to his feet, unable to help wincing all the while.]

Thanks. Don't worry about it. [He looks up at where he can only guess she came from just a moment ago, but then chooses the more important question as he casts Cure on himself and eases most of the discomfort.] What about you? You okay?

[As she pulls him to his feet she thinks of something more to say and then comes up blank. She looks over at Mooshoo but her moogle is not really paying attention.]

Yeah, I'm good. I guess I'll be going now.

[Yuffie's going to be a little bit more careful of her rooftop expeditions. She doesn't want to run into people, more so if they are sorta scary people. Not that she's trying to avoid Ven. That isn't her intent at all.]

Hey, wait-- [He takes half a step after her, offering the friendliest smile he can (which is pretty freakin' friendly, okay). He hasn't forgotten their last encounter, either.] Can I get your name this time?

[Yuffie pauses and takes about thirty very long seconds to decide. Mooshoo is now flying behind her and before she has a moment to say anything he's pushing her forward.]

AH, yeah. I'm Yuffie Kisaragi.

[He's the only one who doesn't get a flashy introduction.]

What was your name again?

[During that obnoxiously awkward pause, Ven waits patiently, that smile staying decidedly in place.]

Yuffie, huh? Nice to meet you -- properly, anyway.

[Ah... well, if she doesn't remember his name, maybe she's not holding that previous meeting against him...?]

Ventus. Everybody just calls me Ven. [Well, almost everybody. He has no real preference.] Are you sure you're okay?

[She laughs a little at that, her guard slowly lowering.]

Yeah, a fall like that can't mess with me. I'm a ninja.

[Even though she currently doesn't have ninja equipped.]

Sides, I'm usually running along rooftops and stuff. It's sorta... my thing.

[Like not using doors.]

You mean you're a real one? [He's visibly impressed.] Wow! You're lucky, having the ninja Job here, huh?

[Then, thoughtfully--]

Rooftops... Hey, do you know Kidd? He mentioned doing something like that back in his world.

[Hello, yes, Ven is among the clueless with regards to Kidd's identity.]

[She might like him a little bit better... for all of a second.]

Yeah, I know Kidd. Sh-[Yuffie starts to giggle before she corrects herself.] He's not as awesome as me and he's a pirate not a ninja.

[Not to say pirate's aren't cool but Yuffie thinks that she's better.]

Pirate? [That catches him totally by surprise. He knows from experience that there's a certain finesse to the way pirates fight -- some of them, anyway -- but he never imagined them being the sneaky sort to attack from the shadows, as Kidd described it.] Huh... maybe they're different from world to world...

[Yeah, that's it.

His puzzlement quickly returns to a smile. Eh, well.]

Well, anyway, I'm glad you weren't hurt! I'll try to be a little faster the next time I break your fall.

[There's more than a little bit of friendly teasing there.]

[Yuffie's just going to stare at Ven for a very long moment.]

You mean you want me to fall on you again?

[He isn't making much sense and honestly she expects him to be more upset than he is. She'll continue to stare until she's given answers. Her memory pulls at the thoughts of his files and it only confuses her further.

As in accurate as what she read is.]

[Don't confuse him with Vanitas, Yuffie. B(

Ven blinks at her, but then he's quick to laugh again.]

No, I was just kidding. Or do you fall a lot?

[Yuffie lightly scratches the back of her head while a sheepish smile pulls across her lips.]

Define... a lot.

[She does fall but it's usually controlled or she finds someone to land on and then speeds away. It's really not so bad.]

[Quit making him laugh, he'll feel bad!]

I'd think more than a couple times would be a lot for a ninja.

[Yuffie's smile breaks and her arms are thrown to her side.]

What!? What do you mean for a Ninja!?

[She's a little angry and it's enough for her to forget about who it is she's talking too and what she read about him. She raises her pointer finger up and starts waving it at Ven.]

I'm the greatest ninja of Wutai, who are the greatest ninja's out of every world and I'm their princess so don't laugh!

Princess? [Don't mind if he sounds ~~skeptical~~ surprised.] Seriously?

[Yuffie's arms fall to her side and her head rolls slightly.]

Why does everyone sound like that?

[She sounds discouraged.]

Oh -- uh -- sorry, I didn't mean it like...

[...like he totally did.]

I've only met a couple princesses before, so I guess I... can't really talk. [Although, those ones definitely fit the storybook description of a princess. Yuffie... not so much, thus far.]

[Yuffie starts to pout and had she been younger she might have even cried. Instead she turns away keeping her arms straight at her sides.]

I'll just go then.

[She takes a step trying to think about the happiness she was feeling seconds before. She's tired of people bursting her bubble.]

[Aw shoot he screwed up didn't he

He takes a step after her.]

Hey, wait -- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be rude. I think it's pretty cool that you're a princess and a ninja. I've never heard of that before.

[She can keep walking, but he at least wants to smooth things over a bit on her way out. ;~; ]

[Yuffie pauses and looks back at Ven. Mooshoo is still floating there as if saying that Yuffie's being unreasonable. With an annoyed sigh she turns back to Ven with a smile.]

To say sorry buy me Ice Cream.

[She takes Ven's arm and urges him to lead the way.]

What--?

[He's barely gotten that out when she's already latched onto him. He blinks, thinking that's an odd way to apologize ~~especially since this all started with her landing on him~~, but hey, whatever works! Ice cream is good.

So he nods with a laugh and directs them back up the street; he's pretty sure he passed an ice cream place on the way.]

All right, it's on me.

[Yuffie doesn't always make sense. Who wants ice cream at the end of fall? The answer is the ninja princess who is currently latched to Ven's arm. There is a smile on her lips as if his hurtful words hadn't happened except she still feels the sting.

She doesn't think she'll ever be a proper princess.]

What's your favorite ice cream?
