Will a flower bloom in a shower?

[Rokudaime Mamimi]

Riding across the open wetlands of Water Country was... relaxing. Being cooped up in the tower, in Fire Country, it was riling her nerves. Dressed down in her rollpack, cloak, robe and utility belts (3)a slot worth of vials, syringes and an auto injection apparatus. Her goggles, flash proof, zooming, thermal and the such.

The main thing was having a matchstick box with six missing out of it and two full backs of blue cave star rolled cigarettes. Today was a desire for knowledge. Kiri was a land she'd never visited save to install a tower and just from the way it frizzled her hair she could tell why. The Flora were... diverse to say the least and with a holodisk in hand she spoke into it openly regarding the landscape.

"This is Andromeda Omega of Leaf. Exploration tape log. On a more cursory look through the Lands of Water I can now say that the place lives up to it's name. If it isn't raining? It's damn sure misty.." She shuffled, static crackling in her ears for a moment.

"Today I am in search of the Baarn herb."

Splashing through puddle she eyed the ground, the area all around her, the swampy soup of the ground around the lake also having required her to wear high books to keep the mucking to a minimum. It was small, easy to miss, poisonous though not always fatal. With chakra running through her hands she reached into the mud to lift a small log, grunting as she searched for signs in the shallow muck.

"I've not encountered any from the Lands of Water though I hear they are usually secretive." With that she slipped the holodisk into her front pocket and left it running.

As luck would have it Yoko was also outside of the village searching for some plants! The mission was low ranked in nature but allow her to feed two birds with one scone: honing her knowledge whilst getting paid. The youth was well provisioned, as one would expect from someone who had left the village of their own volition: her bow Tauropolos was slung over her back alongside a quiver that containing some hundred explosive tipped arrows. Her attire was that of a kindergartener: white polo shirt, black skirt, socks, and shoes. The only differentiating piece of attire that she wore was her slightly baggy orange cardigan, the hood of which was designed to look like a duck's face. She had pulled the hood up so that the duck's yellow bill rested upon her forehead and its two black button eyes were visible to onlookers. This, however, was merely how the piece appeared to onlookers, the reality of the situation was that she wore her full Argonaut's armour set which she had previously applied a glamour to so that it took on the aforementioned appearance.

The swordswoman carried both her blades on her person. A large antigravity claymore on her back and stormium katana on her left hip. Her signature black dress Having just got off the boat she had gotten lost within the Land of Water not knowing where her path would take her. Hopefully towards some money she hoped. Luckily her boots made through the journey slightly easier through these lands but as of yet nothing caught her eye. That was until she spotted something orange at least. It wasn't hard to pick out in the dull array of colors. A person or so it seemed as she called out to them. "Pardon my intrusion!" She called out with a sly smile. Maybe she so happened to find someone interesting.Maybe even a ninja.

Yoko had been searching away by herself for quite some time now, alas, however she had yet to discover a herb that she wanted. It wasn't that she had yet to find any herbs, but rather that she had not made her mind up on what exactly she was looking for. Fortunately, a welcomed escape from her procrastination was offered to her by way of a stranger calling out “Pardon my intrusion”. In response, Yoko turned in to the direction the voice had come so that she could see whether they were someone she knew.

'hmm' Yoko did not know this person from her own village or the outlying lands, perhaps she was a travelling adventurer? Why else would someone carry such a large sword? Instead of drawing her own weapon Yoko merely exchanged a greeting in return, offering a kind smile along with it to indicate that she meant to harm. “Hello”

[quino]

With a slight bow she took this as a opportune moment to introduce herself. "Aranea Mibojin,i'm but a simple wanderer in search of anything to quench my knowledge and pockets. Perhaps you may have the solution to my problem. That is if you don't mind my company, of course free of charge."A slow lick of her lips with a heart warming smile. Looking down at the women Aranea had already found herself in love. To what could make someone so small? Was she not even human or maybe some form of jutsu was in effect. These questions in her mind had left her far more intrigued with her new acquaintance by the second.Whatever it was she would make it her mission to find out.

Hopefully it wasn't something to taxing as she just woken up departed off the boat recently. However it actually came down to it Aranea had no qualms to something exciting the none the less. Getting one's blood pumping in the morning was always a good way of starting the day at least. Especially when her sword arm started to itch but enough violence for one moon cycle at the least.

Hmm a bow and an introduction. This woman had a rather interesting name, it certainly wasn't one that Yoko had heard before. Furthermore she was straight forward enough to openly ask someone who appeared to be a kindergartener for work? Perhaps the best reaction that Yoko could take was to continue to play along as if she was a kindergartener, “Amazing, you have such a pretty name. I've been sent to gather plants for a reward, we can buy lots of tasty food if you help me?” Her response seemed childish enough whilst not divulging who had sent her on such a quest nor the monetary sum that they were likely to receive for undertaking the quest, even her reference to herbs as plants such have served to further express just how inexperienced she was. With that Yoko skipped off into the undergrowth and resumed her search, looking in one of the patches she had just searched through to show the woman an example of the type of herbs she was looking for.

Aranea stifled a chuckle as she covered her face with her hand. It was almost too adorable she thought to herself as she started to skip off in a haste. For now she would stifle her curiosity until later. As of yet Aranea had no idea what they were looking for. She trailed behind the girl calmly observing her surroundings so that she spot anything of the use. But nothing really caught her eye as of yet. She started to think back around the time her mentor had took her out to the woods like this. When they weren't robbing people or training they would retire until they had enough money to sleep in inns. But she still had much to learn regardless of the situation. Aranea had long since needed to further studies and had been slacking as she had focused on her combat training. But with her funds lacking that had held her back. Sighing she just went back to looking around.

Alas, for all of her efforts Yoko had been unable to instantaneously relocate the herb that she had just spotted. Thus, she was unable to show her temporary companion what she was looking for, having instead to resort to using words to describe its physical appearance. “It's a small mushroom, with a brown top” her description was rather bad—as could be expected from a child—but still she thought it rather sufficient, given that her companion could simply ask her to confirm the identity of any mushroom fitting such a description. The mushroom in question was poisonous when consumed, a fact that Yoko did not feel the need to disclose, after all, who would pick up a herb they know nothing about and consume it as their first response? Especially when you were meant to be gathering them.
