Friends and Foes [Private]

[Draven]

Draven would be back at their rally point. Freshly out of that comfortable forest he would take out his regional map. The Village of Cloud was already marked upon the map but he had a different use for the back side. He detail out a simple road map of how to navigate the tunnels and the forest. Along with that he would mark down where those pitfall traps are and the Genjutsu description that was applied to them. As a final note he would describe out the skyrift technique that was placed upon the mountain at the gate itself.

Thus Draven had on his trench coat styled robe with the cotton hood drawn up. Six soldier pills where inside. Under that was a cloak with three soldier pills, and four Chaff Grenades inside the pockets. Underneath that was a heavy shield strapped to his back. He would also have gauntlest on each of his forearms, and greeves on each shin. Then his clothing of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Crafted tatoos would be present on his skin, one an arm sleeve on his left arm with 30. 1 inch wide flying crows, and a 1 foot wide crow on his chest. Furthermore his belt would have a buttbag on it with a lock picking kit, complete with 5 different kinds of lockpicks. Along with a compass and a worldly map, a disruptor, and three type E gas mask filters. The 2 filter design gas mask hung around his neck. He was ready for their next destination as he would look for Mayu and Miss Rahael.

Draven would finish marking on his map the defenses of the Cloud Gates. He would look up and ponder the question for a bit. "Miss Rahael can be sent if she meets back up with us. I do wish to continue on this diplomatic journey with you. I believe I have proven very useful thus far." he would say this though there would be a few situations he needed to account for.

Draven would look back at where the mountain to the cloud gates should be. Or rather the volcano. It was interesting because it was shrouded in weather and its position would be well cloaked. He knew there was a Genjutsu over it and should he be within that 1 mile radius of the mountain, the emanation of the Genjutsu would give the mountains position away. He hoped that wouldn't mean trouble for the Village of cloud, but at the very least it would be a positive for the Sound Country should anything go aery. "If Miss Rahael wishes to not go, or if she is late to this rendezvous point then I shall take leave and deliver the message. In any event we will have to decide how the parting person is to meet up with this diplomat party in the country of rain. Perhaps the use of the embassy should be enough, but that always denotes risk. Rather if we simply meet close to the capitol city and radio our location to each other, that would be a better situation to find one another." he would nod but of course there was a third option the safest one. "Of course if it would be a quick trip and depending on what kind of time frame you wish, we could simply make a detour as a group to deliver the message. We would only need to be close to radio in to the assistant at the tower, and I am sure word could be sent from there."

Followed by her companion and still the strangely mute woman, Rahael trotted along at a brisk pace, puffing and leaning over to catch her breath. "Sorry...woman...training...swords..." She made a poor pantomiming motion with her arms of two swords fighting. "She followed me..she's harmless." Gesturing in the woman's general direction, Rahael' two short swords and katana clamored loudly. The map wrapped into the twine handle of her blade with the kumo gate marked, and a compass on her person. The headset the Kage had given her was still on.

"Do I need to...do something?" She stared blankly, having come in at the end of some explanation from Draven. Arriving late was not her usual fashion, but being held up being an aggressive sword wielding woman should be understandable.

Soul Piper is to be dispatched to our stormy ally to aid them in their time of need. The specific skill set of the Piper will be useful. A team can be taken if desired but no more than two due to my continued travels. We sailed through the storm more smoothly than imaginable but it still looks like it could rain.

"Yeah, no problem what so ever." She glared back at the woman following her and her companion. Waiting patiently, she took the note from the Kage and stuffing int into the pocket of her kimono. With a few world farewell she headed out, looking for the way home like any ninja should. Alexandria followed her and always the woman, ever quiet.

[Draven]

Draven would nod. It was time to go. He would finish up with his notes on the Cloud gates and then store it away. He would take out his world map and his compass and map out their next destination. He would point and say, "We should head in that direction. Unless there are any detours you wish to take." He would address the Otokage. He would already have ideas for the next meeting. Perhaps he will make a kunai for the Rain kage...

[Draven]

Draven would board the ship and make sure the quarter master had the correct course. With the use of his world map and compass he would ensure this was to be set. He would then nod in appreciation. It had been a tiring day for him. Somewhat of chakra drain at the Cloud gates, and the katana he had crafted. That an the annoyance at the Land of Thunder capitol. On top of all of that he was the one that was shorted some sleep. Needless to say when his head hit the pillow he would be out, he would sleep like...the dead... Thus their course plotted and he would get as much rest as he was granted.

[Draven]

Draven would be dreaming. A nightmare, memories, or perhaps things that could have been, yet cut short... His eyes would open, the light creating a piercing haze. It wast the Otokage, and well it was morning. He would raise his hand and scratch the back of his neck, a bit nervous perhaps or worried for Mayu's decision to stay away all night. "You should have woken me sooner." he would say only as a late protest against the decision to take both watches.

Draven would find his shirt and other gear. Quickly he would gear up as they would depart once again. It was indeed time to meet the next village. He would have splashed his face with the cool waters of the river to snap the sleep out of his eyes. He would look back at Mayu, "I am assuming from your attire that we this meeting will be a bit less formal? Or should I prepare for some resistance?" He inquired as he followed, with his compass and world map readied and aimed for the Land of Rain.

[Draven]

Draven would node, he general didn't know the political layout. Back before his life in the crypt things where shaky to say the least. But he still knew how to keep it formal. Though perhaps for him, just running his hands through his hair and straightening up his attire was his view of "forma". But in any event he would remark, "If I may I craft a Kunai that is a few cuts above the Katana, plus I can add a Calming effect to the wirleder. Call it a worry knife, if he needs he can pick it up and it can sooth his thoughts. It shouldn't harm our goal in diplomatic talks, if anything it mite help our case in the end." He would say this as he seen the Rain capitol in the distance.

[Draven]

Draven would be back at the their designated meeting point. He was scouting ahead of the group to make sure there where would be no one around to try and track them. There would be no signs of shenanigans so all would be well...

Draven had on him his Otogakure headband as it was used as a belt. A buttbag would be attached to that with a compass and a known world map inside. He would have a heavy shield on his back with a cloak over that. Within the cloak would be 4 chaff grenades and a disruptor. Over that would be his trench coat with 9 soldier pills inside. He had two tattoos, one of a 1 foot wingspaned crow on the center of his chest, and a motif of 25 crows on his left arm running from his shoulder to the hand all these crows having a 1 inch wingspan...

[Hoarfrost Imp]

Running! Rahael came barreling into the clearing, flailing slightly, stopping to where she only saw Draven. "Draven!" She called out, running over, her head and eyes hurting so intensely. "Where is the Kage! Were here but she isn't!" A glance around confirmed no Kage but for some reason she couldn't seem to activate her Byakugan. "Oh gods..." She whispered, the katana, short sword and dagger stills trapped to her back. Along with her compass and world map and regional map of cloud on her person.
