Kairi gritted her teeth and made her grab for the cat, but just missed it, and ended up stumbling around to the side to avoid running headlong into some bushes. She righted herself just in time to see the cat on top of the wall, and Riku attempting to follow...only for him to come crashing back down.
She ran over to his side, keeping one eye on the cat as she did. "Riku! Are you all right?"
Kairi stooped to help him back up, but it quickly became apparent that Riku was not all right. Following Riku's gaze up to the wall, she saw the cat swallow up that poor fish, and her heart sank.
She knew that Riku of course would care about trying to help out a little kid that lost his pet, but he was definitely reacting strongly here. Then again...she felt a lot of that cold sadness, too, and an odd sense of responsibility. Why wasn't she able to stop that cat from getting away?
