"Why you are here, I have no clue. Why you have the intent to fight, I really could care less. I'm checking on things, so leave me be," I heard Xait say. I had been following him as far as the entrance to the Hinterlands, when Akane and Oogie Boogie, reincarnated yet again, appeared. Though Akane had been the one to challenge him, he seemed to be directing his words towards Oogie.
I lithely leapt up high into a tree, watching the scene unfold below me.
"Well, that's just too bad, then," said Oogie, "'cause I'm just roaring for a fight." He gave an obnoxious chuckle.
"And since when do I take orders from you, frost-face," snipped Akane. "If I don't feel like leaving you alone, I won't." That said, she whipped a ball of lava at him.
Xait met the lava ball mid-way with an ice shard of his own, the connection causing a mini explosion that sent flecks of ice and lava flying everywhere.
"Now, that's more--" "I'm not fighting you, Akane," said Xait tiredly. "And not you, either," he said when Oogie opened his mouth to speak.
Akane's and Oogie's faces twisted into masks of anger. "We'll just see about that," snarled Akane. "I'll tear you apart."
I sat in the trees and waited for the inevitable battle, kind of hoping Xait would win.
