Tetsu had made a journey on foot, to the coastal region of the land of fire. He brought along his dog Suke, though he wasn't sure how much help the dog would be. The dog offered not tactical advantage, but the little basset hound was enjoyable company. He adjusted his glasses and crouched down by some plants that slightly resembled the fragile plant that he was looking for. The Crystal leaf was not very common, but by no means unfindable. He pushed his glasses up as his search began. He made sure to watch his step, as he didn't want to ruin the plant. He could hear the ocean in the background as he and his dog looked around for this very specific plant.

Searching for Crystal Leaf

He continued too look and look aimlessly for this plant. He had a strong desire, and he was sure that he would share his yields with Claire and the others. He was careful while inspecting all of the plants in turn that he encountered. He was looking around the bottom of the trees in the foliage, in hopes that there would be a plant that was his desired target. His boots crunched atop the autumn leaves. He was enjoying himself while he was out, looking for these plants. It was indeed a long and tiresome search that he had gotten himself into, but he would continue on looking for the crystal leaf. His dog sniffed about, looking around with him as he pondered the ground savagely for the delicate plant. His bag hung loosely on his shoulder, ready to receive any yield he found.

He found a plant that seemed like it might be the plant that he searched for. The plant, was a leafy plant that seemed to catch the light just right. He looked at how the plant grew in the shade of a tree's basin, yet the light shined through in this specific spot. It was amazing how plant life knew exactly where to grow. Tetsu marveled at the plant for a moment before inspecting to see what kind of plant he was looking at. He got closer and gently moved the leaves around so that he could see them. His dog was also sniffing about the plant, though not helping at all. The dog was simply doing what dogs do, the damned hound dog. He was about ready to punt the dog when suddenly he realized he was looking at something amazing...or was he?

Searching for Crystal Leaf

He was getting a little annoyed by his lack of finding anything, and proceeded to take a moment to relax. He sat down casually and looked about on the ground. He was indeed quite lazy. He moved around on his hands and knees in search of the plant. He knew that he needed to find something that would help him pay for his long list of gear. He put his thoughts aside as he looked a plant over and made sure that he was looking at something valuable before moving onto another plant that was along on the ground. He moved about for a moment before he saw a promising specimen. He took his time looking it over as he hoped it was indeed crystal leaf.

He was frustrated. he took a moment to breath before moving on to a new area. He was now along the coast. He took his shoes off and looked a space of muddy foliage where the brackish water was turning into the sea. He was wading though the water with his pant legs rolled up, in hope of finding some plant. His hopes were being dashed left and right, but he figured that looking in the water might help him find some yield. he was hoping that the water might entice the growth of some foliage and the plant he was searching for. He looked about for the crystal leaf savagely.
