I Had A Dream So Big & Loud [O]

[/i], I told myself. It was a reasonable explanation.

It was not snowing today, but that was perhaps a temporary peace. The sun made only short visits between patches of cloud overhead. Compared to the rest of the week, it was actually a nice day to be about. I wondered, then, as I glanced around at random people, noticing some of them staring back, is there any infamy in being a Chuunin? The plate of our village's allegiance dangled at my throat, but would the common people recognize me as distinguished from a Genin? When they looked at me, did they even assume I was Chuunin? Was I impressive enough to be a Jounin?

Maybe, Kaoru. But probably not.

Where was I going today? I did not know. I had not seen Isabella in too long, but it was not as though I was headed towards anywhere I thought I might find her. I was still in the south quadrant of the city, that I knew, though not so far southwest as to venture anywhere near the slums I had visited far too many times. In fact, I was subconsciously heading east; close to the Cascading Waterfall, though also a ways off of that.

I wondered on the other Chuunin, also. Had their lives changed? My own hadn't yet. It seemed almost an inconsequential thing, thus far, though I imagined the next time I met with Isabella she would dive upon me with the 'offer' of venturing out on a mission for the village far more dangerous than anything our previous Genin status had allowed us. I smiled.

Hm. A Y intersection. I paused in the open space. Which way was I to go?[/ul][/div]
