They finally reached the poetic paper town where the shop was located.His weapon pouch was filled with the windmill shuriken and the handleless kunais. His attire did not change so he sill had the naturely appearance. Terfezia would look around with his light purple eyes noticing the large amount of poetry filled shops. He guessed it was a common trait for everyone to have a fascination with poetry. Of course the herbalist did not really care about that subject. Looking at his companion for a few seconds "the shop should be somewhere around here"would come out of his lips before looking ahead. Afterwards the mushroom master moved the overgrown black speckled mushroom cap a little adjusting it on his head better.

Falnyr's bright sapphire eyes drank in the town trying to take in every detail of this new place. Potery shops lined the streets and he leaned in to take a closer look, reading the titles of the books on display. While doing this he checked inside his clay pouch wondering how much clay he had left, his smile faded a little as he realised he only had 4 slots left. Not enough for any serious fighting.
"The shop should be somewhere around here" Falnyr was snapped out of his thoughts and brought back to reality by the sound of another voice. Shaking himself slightly the artist turned to look at Terfezia.
"Ok then we better get going. Oh, I almost forgot i havent told you my name yet, I am Falnyr" He started to look for the shop that they had been sent to guard.

[Dealer's Button]

Moments would pass rather quickly as they got closer to the shop. He did notice some herbalist books in the shops they passed. The herbalist did not need any nor did he have the money right now to buy one. With that clear his light purple eyes did not pay attention to any more of them as they passed. While they both walked his companion would start to talk. His eyes picked up the males name that was Falnyr.

Seconds after this Terfezia would see a shop that looked to be in need of slight repair. His eyes noticed a couple kunais stuck in the walls and a couple windows broke. As they got closer he would see a man sitting in a chair near the entrance. "great to meet you i suppose after we talk to the owner i will get things set" he would say to the man with his usual lazy non-caring expression portrayed upon his face. Afterward the green hard genin would look at the sun briefly noticing its descending path.

[Water Adept]

The sun shone bright sending golden rays of sunlight down to the earth below. The blonde haired ninja slowly walked beside his partner ocassionally looking in the shop windows around them. The streests were mostly deserted as they approached the damaged shop. Blue sapphire eyes picked up the old man sitting in a wooden chair near the entrance, widening his smile a bit Falnyr approached. Terfezia began to speak to him, Falnyr's eyes lingered on his face for a second examining that lazy expression he wore. He moved his eyes to the man smiling at him and bowing deeply
"Are you the owner of this establishment" he spoke cheerfully.

OOC: alright u can control de shop owner

Terfezia noticed the blond smile as they got closer. He did not see what was so exciting about getting a mission done. The only reason why he dealt with the troublesome program was to earn more money. Also the fact that his shinobi career was based around them so they could not be avoided. An silent sigh woudl escape his lips before his light purple eyes examining the owner for a few quick moments.As they got closer his companion would start to talk to the owner.

Looking around he saw nothing special in the shop. Everything seemed normal with the usual stack of books. Terfezia would walk near the wall before sitting. The mushroom master lazily looked at a tree a few meters away. Becoming comfortable the herbalist could stay outside. Reaching in his bag the green haired genin would pull out a bottle of vodka. It been a long while since he could relax and have a few drinks.

[Water Adept]

Old man:

The old man lifted himself out of his chair stretching slightly as he did so, turning his attention to the two ninjas he began to speak in a quiet voice.
”I am the owner of this shop” he looked the two figures up and down slowly taking in their appearance his eyes lingering on the headbands. ”and I assume you are the two ninja that I sent for”. Taken aback for a second by the mouths that marked each of Falnyr’s hands, he remained speechless before regaining his composure once more. ”I also assume that you know why you were sent here, you defend this store till morning and if you do a good enough job I pay you. But if even one ryo is missing you get nothing.”. Sighing deeply he started to make his way back to his home, hoping that the ninja would be properly prepared to deal with the vagabonds that threatened his store. ”I will come back in the morning”

Falnyr:

Falnyr’s eyes focused on the back of the old man until he disappeared out of sight, sighing deeply he turned and slumped down next Terfezia who was pulling out a bottle of alcohol. The artist began to study the landscape, trying to fix it in his mind. It had a kind of strange beauty this town, nearly deserted and the sun beginning to sink under the horizon. He dreaded the descent of darkness, worrying about what might happen slightly marred the view of the peaceful town.

”Ter” it wasn’t his best attempt at a nick name but it would do ”do you ever regret becoming a ninja?”. His own doubts and regrets came forth to form this question. He had no idea why he was asking an almost complete stranger but there was no one else to ask, maybe if someone else felt the same way that would help sooth his own worries.

oooc: lol alrighty Kiyo ;D

His light purple eyes would block out everything else except for the tree. Leafs would fall off of the branches slowly before being carried by the wind. The herbalist would stay silent as he observed this simple nature cycle. Not all of the leaves would be carried only the few selected ones could stay together. The unlucky ones would go to the ground where they would become prey for the bugs below. To him this is what a ninjas life was. Few of them could stay together while the others had to fight by themselves and vanish alone. The green haired genin would notice the owner start to walk away leaving the ninjas to do their jobs.

Lifting up the vodka bottle his ears would hear the blond's question. Light purple orbs would look at the clear liquid contained in the bottle. Yukio always said he drank too much he knew that as well but the pain was too great. Tilting his head back Terfezia would start to guzzle down the alcohol. Afterwords the alcoholic mushroom master looked down towards the ground."yes i regret being forced to leave my simple farm life" he would say with some sadness in his tone as his facial expression remained dull.

[Water Adept]

Falnyr's bright blue eyes looked up slowly at the other ninja, it was a relief to know that others felt the same way he did.
"I feel the same way" he said this flatly not allowing any emotion to seep into his voice. As the artist's gaze drifted away he began to speak once more "What was your life like there?". He looked at the work of art which was the sunset losing himself in the many colours that marked the sky. Even after all the things he had seen, nature still produced the best masterpieces.

[Dealer's Button]

Terfezia listened to the blond's response. He felt slightly relieved as well but he was not sure if their pain was the same. Looking up slightly the herbalist could tell it was gonna be dark soon. Although he knew that is when the mission would start he wanted the colorful skies of the sunset to stay. The site was relaxing to his dull senses. With a shared horrible career the only relief for them was sunsets. After all their toys harmless toys was exchanged for kunais when they left the academy.

Then his companion asked about what his life was life before becoming a ninja. An small smile would slowly form upon his lips thinking about the relaxfull atmosphere. Waking up early in the morning hearing the birds waking up. The smell of corn and the smell of cow excrement. Everything was the same nothing changed that is the way the green haired genin liked it. "the life was great a simple life full of simple task,the life you grow more then kill, the life that when a cow dies your family eats...that is the life i lived"Terfezia said happy yet with a tone of homesick. He knew that his life could never return to that. Making his dreams revolve around that place, so he could relive that life.

[Water Adept]

The sun sent its last rays of light down to earth as the world descended into darkness, Falnyr’s smile widened as he listened to the boy’s past life. It was obvious he had really enjoyed this life; looking upwards the stars greeted him twinkling slowly in the pitch black night. Thoughts of his own past life started to come into his mind, the smile widened slightly as he remembered it. He sighed softly knowing that there was no going back to that now, even if he tried it would be as a hunted outlaw. Another question to ask the reluctant ninja bloomed into his mind
”Why did you become a ninja?” He asked softly still slightly lost in his memories, he hoped he wasn’t prying too deep.

OOC: well im ready to beat up some theifs

It seemed the blond was enjoying the former farmer's tale. He was enjoying telling the story although hardly anyone knew that part of his life. An silent sigh would escape the male's lips knowin the only part his teammates knew was the death or more like disappearance of his other teammate Yukio. An unexpected question came forth from his companion's lips. This was about why he got stuck becoming a tool. Terfezia looked at his bottle of vodka for a few moments thinking about his father's good deeds before screwing his son over. The worste part of it was his mom becoming a total angry bitch because of his father abandoning the whole family.

"my father had a gambling problem" he woudl start out with his tale."the problem was my old man could not win thus he owed money" His light purple eyes would look at the blond for a few momets before returning to the vodka bottle."As suspected farmers dont have that much money so he had to pay using something else" He would say with his voice slightly becoming low. That day was a day he would never forget waking up in the morning to see his father wrapping a towel tightly around his arm, hidng in the closet slightly cracked the young green haired farmer saw the whole deed. His eyes stared directly into his blond companions before the foul bloody words would come out of his lips. "his debt was paid with his entire left arm" he woudl say. The picture woudl slightly form again in his mind seeing the clever slicing through his father's arm blood spilling all over the kitchen table. Remembering this his eyes would turn back to the vodka bottle again."the bastard left our family leading to me joining the academy to become a ninja so i can support my bitchy mother and my prick step dad" he woudl simply say returning back to his usual dull non-caring tone and facial expression.

[Water Adept]

OOc: Yep sounds good to me Dex

Falnyr listened intently his sapphire blue eyes fixed on the unwilling ninja, the tale finished and the smile was gone from the artist’s face. An expression of horror flitted there for a second before he managed to mask it.
”I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked” he looked away slowly staring up at the star spotted night sky. His own suffering was nothing compared to Terfezia’s, sorrow started to well up inside him. The artist stood up slowly, thinking about how selfish his own reason for becoming a ninja had been. Looking back to Terfezia he saw that his expression had changed from the anger of when he was telling his story back to his normal bored, uninterested expression. His partner also shielded his true emotions under a mask.

Looking deep into the violet eyes he began to speak wanting to drive the subject matter away from this painful topic.
”I suppose these thieves are going to get here soon then”, he shook himself slightly trying to throw the mask of a smile back upon his face. Partially succeeding he turned around facing into the darkness, trying to pierce the veil. Hopefully the thieves would come soon to give them something to do more than anything else. He also needed to distract himself from today’s events and the guilt that was eating away at him.

[Dealer's Button]

ooc- now we gotta wait for kiyoshi

Without looking at the blonds face he guessed there was a look horror. Although the green haired genin doubt the expression would stay on the blond's face for long. He thought about his academy days seeing everyone so excited about becoming a ninja except for him. Even a couple times his old class mates would want him to play with them the light purple eyed male would just roll his eyes before laying under a tree a to sleep. The sad part was the uninterested mask would stay glued upon his face for so many years since that incident.This was mostly due to the vodka's numbing effects he became to depend on. Although only two people been able to crack this mask in his life so far.Looking up slightly from the vodka bottle he would notice his companion sitting up.

"words are only words there is no need to apologize" he would lazily say standing up. The green haired genin would say to the blond before looking into the darkness. After all the emotions contained in those words connected to the story would simply become numb before disappearing like every other unneeded emotion he numbed in the past. Even now the sight of blood did not bother the male at all. His light purple eyes would continue to look forward expected to see the thieves. With his left hand upon the mushroom cap of the mushroom staff Terfezia leaned relaxfully as they both waited for something to happen.

[Kvasir]

(OOC: You want a thief? You've got one. >=3)


The small shop would be exactly as advertised, small, this would make hearing anyone approaching that much easier... even though such was nowhere near required of the two ninja.

A whistling woman would come down the street, clearly visible even during the night as the four strange strands connected to her hair where lit with flames upon their tips. Her odd and strangely lopsided, skin-tight, red and yellow appearance would come with a bottle of some kind strapped to her hand, which she would drink from happily. She would also begin singing the lyrics to the chorus of the song she was previously whistling to. "We're going out tonight, to kick out every light. Take anything we want, drink everything in sight. We're going til the world stops turning while we burn it to the ground tonight."

As she reached 20 meters from the shop she wouldn't have been able to make her presence and goal any more noticeable to the duo inside the shop if she had a neon sign attached to her head, yet even one look at her would tell almost any person that she was as dangerous as she was ignorant.

OOC: sorry about the short post

Falnyr’s sapphire eyes saw the singing woman approaching; he tensed realising this was one of the thieves. Slipping his hand into the pouch the artist began his work the mouth chewing away at the clay. Singing away like that, it was like the thief wanted to be seen, looking around anxiously trying to spot any other thieves that might be ready to ambush them.
“Ter, please try to keep her alive” he said this softly, he did not think that he could cope with the guilt of another death on his hands.

ooc- thankiez ;D

Moments would pass as they both wiated for target nor targets. His light purple eyes would continue to look towards the road as he leaned upon the mushroom staff. Suddenly his eyes saw something bright in the distance. As time ticked by he would tell that the brightenss was coming from flames. Terfezia streightend his back as his left hand rested on the cap of his staff.

A few seconds later the herbalist could tell it was a women wearing red and yellow clothing. His ears picked up some of the words she sang. Terfezia briefly looked at his blond companion before returning his gaze towards the approaching woman.

[Kvasir]

Stopping as she recognized the human forms, she spoke a warning to the two leaf ninja. "Hey, you two shouldn't be heres; I was told this shop would be empty. Something tells me nothing good is going to happen around heres now that I'm about, it would be a shame for two like you to be caught." Her words where clearly influenced by alcohol as she pulled a piece of flame from one of the ones adorning her headgear. She would hold it in her hands as though it was a ball, clearly unharmed by her own flames.

Both ninja would notice the odd lack of other thieves, it seemed that this flaming lady was completely alone. Something would seem definitely wrong as it clearly seemed this woman wasn't a simply thief and that further thieves where not apparent.

Falnyr looked curiously at the flames that the thief conjured up; she seemed to be in no pain from the raging fire at all. His brain started to try and devise a reason for this but he shook himself to bring his mind back to the matter at hand. Drawing his hand slowly out of his pocket he would mould a dragonfly in between his fingers, performing the katsu sign the dragonfly would take off flying through the air towards the woman. When it was 5 meteres away he would perform the hand sign again making the clay bomb explode in a flash of blinding light. He would then quickly motion for Terfezia to rush her while she was blinded.

He was relievd when finnaly something happend. This meant the mission was probally going to end soon. Watching his companion mold his momentary companion before he used it on the theif. There was a bright flash luckly he was not blinded because he was not close to the targeted woman. With the enemy mostly likely blinded he guessed it was time to move in. The herbalist did not like tai over his ninjutsu but tai would work faster.

Looking at the girl for a few seconds before using most of his leg power to speed towards her using a sunshin. Appearing 3 feet infront of her the green haired genin would quickly stick his mushroom staff between the girls legs. Using side stepping movement to sweep the girls feet from underneth.
