At about the same instant Kairi spoke up, the Keyblades were out without Roxas calling on them. Whatever it was it was coming from the same direction they were headed. He listened hoping to have some idea what it was or how big it was, not to mention many if there was more than one. The general skittery nature of the footsteps made him think if a bug.

He thought right, as the thing came skittering into view from wherever the hell it'd been hiding. It looked like some sort of mantis, but beyond that, he really had no ideas. At least there was only one.

Only one and it must have been hungry as it moved into attack as soon as it spotted the potentially tasty morsels, raising its sharp forelimbs to go for a kill. It was feisty, he could give it that, but it really was out of luck. As it brought the claws down he skirt around to its left, striking quick at its side. This wasn't a serious attack. He just wanted to get its attention. It worked. The bug turned toward him and raised its claws again.

"That's a nice stupid bug," he said with a smirk, taking a defensive stance, "Care to dance."
