Keeping his composure, Helios played it cool and pretended not to recognize her. He raised an eyebrow and asked in a polite tone, "I'm sorry, but have we t before? Is there a reason you stopped ?"
Aerith's cheeks flushed with a tinge of embarrassnt. She quickly apologized, her voice soft and kind. "I'm sorry for stopping you without introducing myself. My na is Aerith. I thought you might have seen soone I'm looking for."
Helios raised an eyebrow, pretending to ponder her description. "A girl with short, black hair and a tal headband with two green tassels? Wearing a green tube top, tan short-shorts, and a blue belt around her waist?" Although he knew that this description most likely referred to Yuffie he shook his head gently and replied, "I'm afraid I haven't co across anyone matching that description. But if I do encounter her, I'll be sure to let her know that you're looking for her Aerith."
Aerith's expression softened, appreciating Helios' willingness to help. She bowed slightly and offered another apology, her voice filled with genuine sincerity. "Thank you so much. I'm sorry for the intrusion. I'll continue my search then. It was nice eting you, even if it was under these circumstances."
Helios smiled warmly, appreciating Aerith's polite deanor. "The pleasure is mine. Good luck in your search Aerith."
With a nod of acknowledgnt, Aerith turned and continued on her way, disappearing into the bustling crowd. Helios watched her go, his thoughts swirling with curiosity about the girl she was searching for. Yuffie, he thought to himself, recognizing the description and realizing the possibility of her involvent in the events unfolding in Radiant Garden.
As he resud his walk through the city, Helios couldn't help but be reminded that there are other forces at play due to his encounter with Aerith. The other individuals had their own quests and motivations so he knew that his path would intersect with theirs sooner or later. So if he played it right he could keep an eye out and uncover Xehanort and Ansem the Wise's actions.
As Helios pondered his next move and the potential allies he could seek, his mind settled on the nas Isa and Lea, better known as Axel and Saix in the future. They were once close friends and mbers of Organization XIII, but they had a deep bond with a girl who beca a test subject of Ansem the Wise. They were motivated to uncover the truth and find a way to save her.
Helios decided that connecting with Isa and Lea would be a logical step. Their shared history and desire to protect their friend made them useful tools in his quest to uncover Xehanort and Ansem the Wise's actions. Perhaps they would be able to provide him with valuable information and insights.
Helios set out to find Isa and Lea, aware that their paths would eventually cross. He knew that ti was of the essence and that this encounter would be crucial in uncovering the truth behind the mysteries surrounding Radiant Garden.
The only problem lay in how to encounter them. Helios was aware that their paths would eventually cross but he disliked wasting ti especially when he was unsure as to how much ti he had before Radiant Garden would fall into darkness. He knew that ti was of the essence and that every wasted was crucial ti he didn't have.
As he ventured through the city, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He figured it was rline since Kurai still hadn't tried to communicate with him despite being outside the house. He could almost feel the weight of rlin's gaze lingering on his back. But Helios remained focused on what he needed to do.
After walking around the town for an hour visiting familiar sights Helios ca across the two he was looking for. Helios observed Isa and Lea from a distance, recognizing them by their distinct appearances. He carefully approached, making sure not to startle them. As he got closer, he noticed their intense conversation and decided to wait for a more opportune mont to introduce himself.
Isa wore a short-sleeved, navy blue jacket with a light blue stripe going along his shoulders to the ends of his sleeves. The jacket's collar is rather high and sky blue in coloration, as are the ends of the sleeves and the bottom hem of the jacket. There is a yellow-waning crescent moon symbol prominently displayed on the left breast of the jacket. Lea wore a sleeveless orange jacket with a white, sleeveless shirt underneath, and tan, baggy pants with red and white sneakers and black socks. The pockets of his jacket are a much darker shade of orange than the rest of it. He also wears a yellow and brown keffiyeh around his neck. The pattern of this keffiyeh changes abruptly near Lea's neck.
Finding a nearby bench, Helios sat down and pretended to be engrossed in his own thoughts. He watched as Isa and Lea continued their discussion, their gestures and expressions filled with a mixture of determination and concern. It was clear that they were deeply invested in their mission to save their friend.
As the conversation between Isa and Lea reached a pause, Helios seized the opportunity to approach them. With a friendly smile, he stood up and made his way toward the duo. "Excuse ," he said, his voice confident yet respectful. "I wonder if you could help ? Have you seen a girl with short, black hair and a tal headband with two green tassels?"
Helios used Aerith's request as a way to beco acquainted with the two boys. Isa and Lea turned their attention to Helios, their eyes narrowing slightly as they assessed him. They exchanged glances before Isa spoke up, his voice cautious yet curious. "A girl with short, black hair and a tal headband with green tassels? Why are you looking for her?"
Helios maintained his friendly deanor, eting their gaze directly. "I apologize for the abruptness. I recently had a conversation with a woman nad Aerith who was searching for this girl. She seed quite concerned, and I thought I might be able to assist in so way. My na is Helios, by the way."
Lea's eyes flickered with recognition at the ntion of Aerith's na. He leaned against a nearby wall, crossing his arms, and regarded Helios with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. "Aerith, huh? So she's looking for Yuffie? Why did she ask you and not us to help?"
Isa stepped in front of Lea with suspicion in his eyes. "Who are you? I don't believe we've ever t and we know everybody in this town. So where did you co from?"
"Ah, my apologies my na is Helios. I'm currently staying with an old man by the na of rlin. As to why you've never t I couldn't answer that. I was found by rlin without any mories so I don't know anything about who I am." said Helios using what he knew about their female friend to craft a sympathetic story of his own to win them over.
