Napping...(Private)

Subject: Napping...(Private) Wed May 18, 2011 4:52 am

Arashi yawned as she slept under a tree. She had been training for about four hours now...And she was TIRED. "Naps never hurt anyone..." She curled up, her cloak around her, and sighed. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders and did little to try and help retain her warmth, and her eyes were a little dull due to having no sleep in a while. She sighed and closed her eyes once more, dreaming of brighter days. Better days....She'd have to go find his grave soon...

But that could wait.

Arashi let out a small sigh, knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep now, and slowly got up. Maybe some ramen or something would help her.
"Hmm....Ramen is the best answer! With dumplings!"
Arashi giggled and began walking into the village, on the hunt for food. She ended up in the tea shop of all places.
"...Maybe I made a wrong turn..."
She adjusted her glasses a little and took a seat anyways, ordering some dumplings and humming a tune.
"Oh well, make do with what you have!"
After the dumplings finally came out, Arashi ate about half and finished her tea, then left [paying of course]. She had no clue where to go next so...
"Maybe I'll just walk around for a bit...."
Hey, if it worked for half the other people here, it could work for her. Besides, she would be leaving soon, so why not catch in a few sights before she bounced?
And she'd rather prolong visiting the cemetery for as long as possible.

He was standing near the gates of the village, as a female seemed to bypass his location. He was interested, as she didn't look like some weirdo poor person, or a know-it-all. His eyes where focused on her being. He looked at her, and he felt butteflies flutter, at last. Someone who seemed to be born with the power of intellegence. It was a rare event in retrospect. Something important for now. He felt compelled to this female, and that was odd because he usually hated females completely. Nothing about them appeased him. They where all lying coniving harlets. But something about this girl ket him in check.

He lifted off the gate post and walked behind her at steady pace. Beckoning out to her. "Hey! Excuse me, what is your name?" He stated wit pure curiosity in his soul. He placed a hand, singular, on the back of his cranium and smiled at her. He rubbed his head as he waited to see how she would react to his direct approach. He didn't want to alarm her, that was for damn sure. He felt a bond with her before she even introduced herself.

Arashi blinked for a moment, a little stunned at the sudden question from the stranger, but nonetheless smiled a little.
"My name is Arashi Hokousha. Is there anything you need help with, sir?"
She looked down at him, then at her dumplings.
"Oh, I have some fresh dumplings if you want."
She smiled a little more brightly this time. It was always a joy to help others. This man seemed...interesting. In the good way. He wasn't like the other villagers, that was for sure. And his approach was quite...commendable.

Nothing wrong in that, right?

What in the hell was wrong with this female? She seemed to be giving and nice right away. This was a trait that could easily be taken advantage of. This was not good. After-all his first love had taken advantage of him, he would not allow for this female to suffer the same fate as the rest of the people he knew. He reached outwards, and pointed at her in the face. "Unless that is poison, there is no reason for you to want to share that with me, a complete stranger. Your kindness is unhealthy." He stated cautiously. Looking her in the eyes directly as the wind blew past his face cautiously.

He would speak up to her again. "Whats your angle, your motivation. This all eludes me. I cant fathom any reason why you would be nice to someone who just said hello." He was wondering about this female, perhaps she had a lot to teach him about humility, about trust. Something that he lacked surely. Whatever her reasons, this female would be an interesting part of his routine. He was glad he had not missions today, and could spend the entire time just talking to the female in his path. He hoped to not have offended her either. That would be quite problematic.

Arashi kept her smile, and held out a dumpling to him.
"If I can make one person smile, that's all that matters."
She stopped for a moment.
"Oh, I hope I'm not upsetting you! Please tell me if I am! I try really hard not to be a bother..."
Arashi lowered her head for a moment, blushing. She never wanted people to hate her. She just wanted to help...She blinked and looked up shyly.
"O-Oh, by the way, sir. What's your name?"
The idiot that she was, she forgot to be polite and ask his name! Oh, stupid, stupid girl! She had to do better! The little voice in her head poked in and began speaking, like always.

You need to be polite, but also let them have options.

Arashi blinked. Right...She'd try that.

He peered over to the female once more. Even more confused now then when he first encountered her. She seemed bashful, easily embarrassed. Simply put, she was an adorable creature. Something he didn't think females could be. She asked for his name, and he smirked politely. "The name is Glory, of the Gekisen Tribe. I want you to know that you do not upset me, you worry me. I fear for your safety. You seem to be an easy target for a lot of people. Based on how you are acting now, Id bet you have been taken advantage of."

He asked her politely, waiting to see her reply to his statement. It would not matter anyway. He reached outwards and took the dumpling, and then he pulled it back to himself. Getting ready to take a bite of it, fire expelled itself from his mouth and consumed the small dumpling, turning it to a black, burnt substance. He then popped it into his mouth and ate it. Smiling over to the female. His gaze was focused, and his intent was pure. He spoke up again. "What is your name, and why are you here?" He would ask her cautiously.

Arashi watched with curiosity as Glory ate the dumpling in such a unique manner, and bowed her head.
"My name is Arashi Hokousha. I am getting ready to leave Yukigakure to travel and see the sights. I hope to find inspiration for art I make. And thank you for worrying about me!"
She lifted her head and thought for a moment.
"...Would you like to come with me? You don't have to, but I'd enjoy the company!"
She smiled brightly and clasped her hands together. He seemed like a good man, and she'd enjoy talking to him!

Guest

He peered She had a pretty name, it made him feel good on the inside, she was so sincere. Perhaps it would serve him some benefit to tag along with this mysterious female before him. He needed to get out of this extremely boring village anyway. The last encounter he faced was this weird little creature known as the Shishi. It was a true that the beast was the most disgusting creature he had ever seen in his life, but that was fine. This female before him would be enough to give him all sorts of entertainment. "Umm, It would be my pleasure to accompany a radiant and beautiful female such as yourself, your warm heart pleases me." He stated as he held his hand outwards. "I suggest you hold my hand however, this will be for safety reasons." He stated cautiously.

Arashi cheered a little and took his hand.
"Could we stop at one more place before we go? I was going to go visit my father and..."
She looked down and closed her eyes.
"Pay my respects."
She looked back up, her cheerful demeanor a little less radiant, but still present.
"I promise, it won't take long, Glory-sama!"
She held up her left hand and slowly made a small black crystal butterfly.
"I'd like to leave something there. For him. Is that alright?"
She hoped he wouldn't mind, but she truly had to see his grave before she left. It was important. Absolutely important. She smiled and tugged no his arm a little bit, urging him to follow her.
