Something was amiss. Why were the cloaked figures just standing there? Kiht wondered. They were out in the open; approaching as a group. That didn't seem like an assassin method. Perhaps it was trick? An ambush? Kiht suddenly thought right before reaching the the figures who were just standing there.
“Hold! Everyone hold!†Kiht shouted as she staggered to a stop. She shouted as loudly as she could, but her words fell on deaf ears. Her group members were already in the charge, and they were intent to follow through. There was nothing Kiht could do.
One of the cloaked people stepped forward, threw off his cowl and held out his hands. Other cloaked figures started......Cowering? Some knelt and started praying, some staggered back and some started waving their hands frantically in front of them.
The group members may have been in a charge, but they hadn't lost all sense. It was mostly the one in the front that gave them pause. The one who stepped forward and threw off his cowl was a Miqo'te! His skin had a slight blue hue and his hair was black; his eyes were blue Moon-keeper eyes and he had a teardrop tattoo on his forehead!
“I know that you all missed me, but this is overreacting, is it not?†The male Moon-keeper said with a nervous smile on his face.
The group had come to a halt. Some members lowered their weapons while others kept their weapons at the ready, but they all looked awestruck. Their eyes were wide, and their mouths agape as if they were staring at a ghost.
“Um, don't you recognize me?†The male Moon-keeper asked. He then regarded Kiht.
“Little Kiht! You.....Haven’t grown at all†He said to Kiht with a teasing grin on his face.
Kiht's expression suddenly grew even more awestruck. “H-Hahs'to?†Kiht stuttered.
Everyone thought he was dead, but Hahs'to Jakkya stood before his group. The cloaked figures all stood up once they realized that they weren't going to be attacked. They pulled back their cowls. The eight other individuals were a combination of all the races of Eorzea. There was even a Lalafell who Kiht hadn't noticed before. Upon closer inspection, they were not armed with very deadly weapons. Many had canes, crooks, wands and scepters. None of them carried bows, blades or lances. They relaxed, but still looked worried as they regarded the armed Keepers.
However, the eight unknown individuals were not the concern of the group at that moment. They all suddenly recognized Hahs'to. What started as a charge into battle suddenly turned into a charge of celebration as every one of the group members dropped their weapons, and ran to gather around the male. It was a chaotic eruption of embraces and voices. Kiht ran directly to Hahs'to; she grew an expression of joy that she hadn't displayed in a long time.
“How??†Kiht asked him.
“Long story, I will tell you later. I am glad to see you, little Kiht.†Hahs'to responded.
“Tell me now, male!†Kiht said in an irritated tone, but she still bore a jubilant grin.
“Fine! Gods, you are still the crazy cousin I remember, aren't you?†He retorted, but still smirked at her.
It was then that Kiht put her finger to her ear. She had some explaining to do. “My apologies, but it was a misunderstanding. My group and I are not under attack. Everything is well.†Kiht said over the linkshell.
Hahs'to regarded her with a curious expression as she talked over the linkpearl. “What trouble are you involved in now, little Kiht?†Hahs'to asked her in a teasing tone.
“I have a long story to tell you as well, Hahs'to.†Kiht answered then paused for a moment. “However, you must first understand, I am not 'little Kiht' anymore. Life has changed me, Moon-brother.†Kiht said as she returned his smirk.
