Chapter 5: Cabin #14
Auron, Shadow, and Cid Highwind sat at their table, awaiting the last member of their cabin to sit down for tea.
Cid noticed the large dog lying at Shadow's side. For some reason, it was staring at him. "That uh, dog got a name?" he asked, a little shaky as the massive dog yawned.
"His name is Interceptor," said the ninja, coolly, "he eats hands."
Cid quickly moved his hand away from the dog "Well he must be eatin' somethin' good big as he is. Why's he named Interceptor?"
"When I am assigned a target that flees, he takes them down. Its more for sport than anything else. Sometimes he let's them get ahead first."
Cid was a little suprised at this. Just a little though. Most of the ninjas he knew were Yuffie and she was... different. Deciding not to talk to the man with the gigantic dog, he turned his attention instead to the man in front of him.
"So uh, that sleeve thing, is yer arm broke or somethin?"
"No." replied Auron.
"Then why do ya wear it?" He asked puzzled.
"By using only one arm at any given time, it allows my opponent to fight on equal terms with me."
"Eh. One of the honorable types huh? Most of the world's gone too soft these days, with their fightin' dirty. Good to know there's still some of us who do our fightin with honor."
The room fell silent again.
"All right everyone! I'm all ready!" Came a female voice from the next room. The door swung open revealing a young woman. "Choco-boco-lina!" She yelled happily.
