After getting separated from everyone Aria had checked the network to see if anyone had said anything about where they were. From the look of it Roxas wasn't too far from where she had ended up and of all the things he could have run into, he got into a fight with a panda. Somewhat amused she turned off her computer and set off in what she thought was the right direction.

Roxas couldn't help thinking that someone, somewhere was amused with his plight. Not that he was in a whole lot of trouble, but having a run in with any bear sized creature, never mind an actual bear, was not fun. His only real condolence in this situation was that he hadn't been seriously injured and a simple Cure had been sufficient. At least the panda was satisfied with him turning tail and running once he'd realized why it was attacking him. He debated for a moment on whether he should actually go looking for someone or just wait where he was.

Not long after she set off Aria realized that maybe she should be keeping an eye out for that panda. Distracted by this thought, she let out a yelp as she stubbed her toe on a rock.

Roxas heard the yelp and followed the sound, not sure he wanted to know what led to the yelp but not sensing any danger.

Aria thought she heard someone coming and headed in that direction. She thought maybe it was Roxas but, got ready in case it wasn't. She smiled in relief when he came into sight and she couldn't help giggling a bit when she saw hi clothes. "Did you not see the panda or did you think it was harmless?" she asked before he could say anything.

"The panda saw me first and it had a cub," was all he said. He noticed her checking his clothes and just huffed.

"So it caught you by surprise," she said while still looking at the damage to his clothes. "I guess I'll fix your jacket first," she added while digging a needle and thread out of her laptop bag.

"Yeah..." He really wasn't sure what else he could say to that. It was true. The panda was on its home turf.

She tilted her head and held out her hand. "It would be rather difficult to fix it while you're still wearing it," she teased when he didn't do anything besides say yeah. "And we may as well sit down. Hand sewing is slow."

He slipped the jacket off and handed it over with a shrug. This was turning into a lovely trip already and they'd only been on that world for a few hours.

She took it and made herself comfortable against a handy rock. "You know," she said as she began to work, "it could have been worse. You could have run into a dragon."

"That's comforting. I could also have run into any of the random monsters that have been showing up all over."

"Well, this is the Land of Dragons," she said before falling silent and concentrating on her sewing.

"Yeah, but the native dragons are benevolent," Roxas replied, "It would have had to be a dragon from elsewhere or... well, a Heartless, but that one definitely isn't happening." He found another convenient rock and sat down, grumbling a little and poking at a small rip in his pants leg. The pocket was the worst, but there were a couple of other little rips to worry about.

She didn't answer as she finished fixing his jacket. When she was done she just tossed it at him and said, "Alright gimme your pants."

He caught that jacket and was starting to put it back on when she asked for his pants. "Wait a minute. You want to fix them right this second? We're... kind of out in the open here..."

"What? No one's around and unless your going commando..." she trailed off a bit before continuing. "I suppose if you'd rather wait I can at least take the pocket off the rest of the way quick so it's not flapping around."

"Yes I would rather wait.And, yeah, I don't think it helps any to have that hanging. I already got it caught on something earlier... Ok

"Alright. I don't think you'll want to be wearing them while I'm doing that so, you'll still need to give me your pants," she said in a somewhat teasing manner.

"What? Why the hell do I need to take my pants off for that?" He was not amused by this in the least, but Aria seemed to be enjoying herself.

"Would you rather be poked with a seam ripper? And I am not comfortable being that close to your ass," she said being a bit more serious.

He supposed he was being a little bit paranoid about the possibility of someone else walking by, but he also wasn't dropping his pants in front of someone else. After a moment's consideration, he grumbled, "Fine. Let me find somewhere private to change..."

"Sounds like a good idea," she said before going to dig out her seam ripper.

Roxas found a thick stand of bamboo and checked it out first before slipping into to it change his pants. It really didn't help that all he had to change into were the pajama pants Sora's mother had bought for him. It was better than hanging around in the middle of nowhere with nothing but his boxers, especially since it wasn't exactly warm here. He grumbled a little as he pulled on the soft, Cactuar printed pants and wondered why he hadn't had the sense to go and do his own clothes shopping initially.

"You're not having problems, are you?" she asked when she heard his grumbling.

"No, I'm not." He grumbled more as he climbed out of the bamboo stand and brought the pants to Aria.

"Heh, Cactuars. Cute," she said taking the pants and starting to take out the remaining stitching on the pocket.

"I didn't buy them."

"Didn't say you did," she said getting the last of the stitching out and pausing with a strange look on her face. "Heh, it almost feels like your the bratty little brother I never had," she said quietly after a moment.

He really didn't know what to say to that comment. It wasn't the first time someone had said something like that. Sora had also said he thought of him like a brother, the sap.

Aria quickly changed the subject by tossing Roxas his pants. "I'll just put the pocket back on after we're done here," she said tucking the pocket in her laptop bag with her sewing stuff.

He caught the pants and disappeared into the bamboo again. It was bad enough Sora already knew about the pajamas, he didn't need everyone else to see them too. "That's fine. It's just better than having it hanging."

"Right, lets go find Sora before he gets into trouble."

"I can't argue with that."
