*Dado and Sapphire walk down a road, slowly approaching what looks to be a mall.*

*For all he knows, she could've been kicking puppies before she came here. But Dado's mind goes back to the Heartless he spared, and to Suke. Suke was only ever possessed by someone. The Heartless from the snowy mountain tried to save him, and even displayed limited intelligence.* 

*And, most notably, there's himself. As a creature of darkness, any good thing he does is now proof that darkness need not by evil. Then again, the jury's still out on him. Maybe the darkness will corrupt him. Maybe he'll end up like Sunset.*

*No. Before it reaches that point, he'll cast Holyza. He won't let himself destroy a world.*

*The two get to the sliding glass doors of a store called "Galaxy Toys". A myriad of Heartless are inside. The sensor is unpowered, leaving the doors inert.*

"There's something I wanna check up on. It could be what you're looking for, too."

"It's on the third floor, in a closet. How do you wanna approach this?"
Esther
Sapphire summoned the keyblade of hearts as she peered inside giving a deep sigh, if she was by herself it would probably be no issue dealing with them, however she does have Dado she is protecting for now. 

"We can try to get around without a battle, however if a fight does happen go get whatever it is and I'll make sure no heartless approach you." She looked back at Dado motioning for him to go ahead of her. 

"You can trust me to keep you safe, I did it while you were unconscious."

*Dado scowls. How dare she insinuate he's weak? He's been through more in a week than she could survive over a lifetime. He can go in right now and-*

*No. He stops himself from doing something stupid. He __is__ weaker than usual right now. He's not at his peak. He can't even use Light without damaging himself.*

"Follow me." *Dado leaps up a story with High Jump, another story with Doubleflight, and finally launches himself upwards with an Aero cast to reach the roof. He waits by the edge, peering over it to make sure Sapphire can get up.*

Sapphire looked up at to where Dado had lept to as she would appear next to him with a blink of an eye. She crossed her arms as she looked up at him quite curious about what he was needing here. 

"Don't push your self to much young man. You're no good if you wear yourself out early." She looked away from him as she brushed her bangs out of her face. Hopefully this trip wouldn't have been for nothing and she finds what she needs.

"Yeah, yeah. You don't need to coddle me." *Dado rolls his eyes, then starts walking towards the center of the building.* 

*About halfway there, he stops, then turns to Sapphire.*

"Honestly, I'd worry more about you conserving your energy. Since you're *So much* Stronger than me, and all, you're more valuable, yeah?" *After that self-deprecating guilt trip, a blue aura flows around him. His pupils shrink, and he focuses as he holds his sword.*

*Violet needles erupt from his back, then arrange themselves into a pair of wings. He floats slightly off the ceiling, then slices into it repeatedly from above. Where each cut would normally make a loud noise, they're instead completely silent, only letting off darkness.*

*He grins and mouths something, then continues hacking at the ceiling below. Before long, there's a hole through which the two can peer leading to the third floor.*

*The blue aura fades, and his breathing becomes audible again. He speaks quietly.*

"There. We drop in, fight as few Heartless as possible, and find the room we're looking for. Hope you like escort missions."
Esther
Sapphire brought out her keyblade jumping down into the hole landing as quietly as possible to not alert any heartless. Part of her was impressed with creating their opening with no noise being made from the destruction. 

She began to scan the immediate area sensing no movement, she looked up at him waving her hand signaling that is was clear from what she could tell. 

Perhaps he would be an ally she can rely on however she is unable to fully judge his character from their short interaction.

*Dado nods, then hops down, sword held upwards as to not clank against anything. Just before he lands, a wind cushion breaks his fall.*

*He looks at Sapphire, nods in a direction, then starts walking that way. Tension fills his heart with each step. The walk is as excruciating as it was the first time around.*

*He approaches a door to what looks to be a closet. He tries the handle. It's locked. He looks expectantly at Sapphire.*
Esther
Sapphire looked at the Dado tilting her head confused as to why it was locked. She walked back a step pointing the keyblade at it. Something told her to do perhaps it was the keyblade once again taking control. 

A beam of light shot to the lock and a soft clicking could be heard. "There that should do it." She had a learned a new ability with the keyblade that she did not know about.

She took another look at Dado walking up to him placing a comforting hand on his shoulder as one would do to a child who was uneasy. She didn't know why but perhaps due to their hearts being connected she could feel the same tension he was.
