Uh, k. [P]

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

Ryu seemed to be finding herself in this same situation a lot since Aden had been gone. She'd be alone in her house, and soon she'd exit, only to lay on the grass and stare at the clouds, watching their slow retreat to the other end of the world. Soon, they too would be gone, and never return. She thought too deeply sometimes.

She'd lay there and just let things flow however they wanted, if she started to cry, she'd just cry. If she laughed, she'd laugh. But she'd be alone, laying in her garden. Maybe she was waiting, maybe she was in denial. Maybe none of this was even real. She'd never even really told him how she felt. He hadn't either, but she was sure he'd felt the same.

She started to look back on ways she could have done things differently. Been kinder, or more selfless. Perhaps braver. Brave enough to say something. Part of her wished they hadn't gone to look for his brother, or that they had found him dead sooner. She was sure he was dead already, having not returned in so long. These new thoughts were annoying. Why now?

Death changes people, it really does.

It had been a very, very long time since he'd been in the village - such was the reason he felt the need to walk around and see how much it had changed. He noted the new buildings, how the trees had grown, and how everything looked so much smaller than it used to be. With casual steps the shinobi continued on his walk, the long pink robe fluttering in the breeze behind him. It was at least a good 10 minutes into his walk that he'd catch sight of a female in the distance all by her lonesome, and even from a distance like this he could see she seemed to be upset about something. His chivalrous nature wasn't going to let him leave a lady in distress - even if it was emotional distress. Right hand rubbed his chin as he thought quickly, and taking off to his side he aimed to sneak around her as to approach from behind.

A single handsign would be held, and hopefully catching her by surprise his little plan would come to life. He had targeted the ground right underneath her for this little trick, and suddenly she would notice the abrupt appearance of plant-life. Springing up from the earth would be hundreds of species of flowers, 5 meters in every direction the Hanakora had created a small field of flowers. Wonderfully coloured Sachi was sure to only make the best quality of flowers for her. This would be when he would make himself known. Stepping closer to her he'd stop just outside the 5 meter range so he wouldn't trample any of them. Jade slates ran over the flowers before finally setting on her,

"Which one of these is your favourite?"

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

Mismatched eyes stared ahead at the whisps in the sky. She'd left her eyepatch with Aden's body. He'd be buried with it, she wasn't hiding anything anymore. Even her disfigurements. She closed them as she relaxed and released a breath, feeling the breeze as the long grass tickled her skin.

Nearly instantly, she was surrounded by taller plants, and she felt the thickness of them before she even opened her eyes. Nothing seemed dangerous, though, so she didn't jump up quickly in surprise. She more of popped her head up over the plants to see who had caused such a wonderful surprise.

She halfway hoped to see Aden standing behind her, but her hopes were crushed as she saw another male standing there. She smiled kindly regardless. This could be a new friend in the making; she didn't want to miss out.

He was stanging outside the area of flowers, a good five meters away, he surveyed the flowers before resting eyes on herself. He seemed friendly, and he was rather handsome, and seemed refined and sortof gentlemanly the way he was standing there. His question was answered with a question.

"If I told you the one I liked, would you make me more of them?"

To be honest, she hoped he could. Living in a home surrounded in various sunflower species would make her feel better, even in such a state. Perhaps this person was sent to make her happy. If he could do it, that was.

It made him happy to help those in need, and after analyzing this female he came to the conclusion she needed a friend - luckily for her he could be just that. Jade eyes locked onto the female's own eyes, and it was quite the interesting sight to see that she had two completely different eye colours - it was unique, and the Hanakora liked that. He smiled warmly in her direction as right arm was raised from behind his back, with a handful of hanakora seeds gripped between his fingers and his palm he would address her question,

"Of course, anything for a pretty young lady like yourself.."

He bowed his head down lightly in his gentlemanly manner and awaited to hear the name of her favourite, all the while chakra coursed all throughout his hand and over the seeds; waiting for the final command.

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

Slowly she would stand, clapping her hands together to remove some of the dirt from them. A light breeze blew once more and she had to wipe her hair from her face. She looked at the assortment of flowers, of course searching for the bright, large, and beautiful yellow flower she so desired to find. To her right was the tall stalk, atop it a pretty bloom. She plucked a seed and popped it into her mouth.

"Why, sunflowers of course."

She ran her finger along the flower's petals while she chewed, spitting out the shell of the seed quietly. They had always been her favorite. So big and vibrant, sticking their place in the world and keeping their own simple beauty, while still being effectively tasty in their choice of reproduction. She smiled and looked back at her newcomer.

"I'm Ryu." She wondered when she'd be able to introduce him to Atlas. That would be interesting.

[sachii]

The seeds rolled about the Hanakora's hand as he'd watch the young lady rise to her feet. He retained his friendly smile and kind gaze as he awaited her to spot out her most favourite flower - cheering her up was the least he could do for her, and all girls liked flowers. He observed as she proceeded to consume a seed from a tall sunflower, and before she could utter the name of the plant the final rush of chakra siphoned itself within the seeds. The flowers grew at a hyper-accelerated rate, and with an abrupt thrust outwards a complete bouquet of sunflowers was held within his hand. They were tilted towards his face as he'd inhale slowly to catch a waft of their fragrance, and quickly leaning forward arm was held outwards to present the flowers to her.

"These are for you.."

Ryu was her name, huh? He liked that name, and after having her introduce herself it was only proper manners for him to do the same. He bowed himself slightly down again gracefully,

"Sachi Hanakora, at your service"

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

The male stood before her as she spoke of the flowers. Soon his hand was full of the pretty things, and though it wasn't her entire garden, she was happy with them nonetheless. She stepped forward from the flowers and reached out her arm.

She took the flowers in her hands and returned her gaze to the fellow. He seemed kind and friendly. She rested the flowers in her arms as she bowed lightly when he bowed.

A Hanakora, eh? She'd heard of them. A big thing in Grass, even the Kage was one of them. Maybe he knew her. She'd always liked the Kusakage. She was really pretty.

"So you're of the Hanakora? A flower-boy. How cute."

She smiled warmly and started to walk towards her back yard.

"You want to come with me? I was about to get in some training before the day is over."

She stepped forward and continued on towards the area. Hopefully he'd follow her. She was interested in him.

/exit.

[sachii]

"I'm whatever you want me to be.."

He smiled and enjoyed the happiness such a small gift had given her. She didn't seem to be doing so well on her own, so he was more than willing to spend some time with her and perhaps come up with more things to do for her - the fact he found her quite attractive was just a bonus. He'd smirk and nod his head in agreement when she proposed that he came along with her. Following just behind her he wondered where she would lead him, and wondered how the rest of the day was going to turn out.

/Exit

[sachii]

Atlas would lead the Hanakora and his unconscious master back to her home. The gorilla was likely under the effects of the poison by now and would probably nap soon enough much like Ryu was - but it would eventually wear off and they would wake up fine. Hopping down as gently as he could Sachi would carry the female towards her house, and easing the door open with his foot he would carry her to her bed after having to search around for her room a little bit. She would be placed softly on her bed, and blanket promptly pulled up to her chin. He felt bad she had to go through that, although he meant her no harm and knew she would make a speedy recovery.

"Sleep well.."

He didn't know if she would even her him as she slept, but he spoke anyways. Afterwards he would turn and leave - he would be sure to visit her soon and see how she was doing.

/exit

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

Ryu woke up drooling and confuzed after their encounter, now somehow home and tucked in like a child.

She wiped her face off and stretched, getting out of bed to head to the missions thingy. Time to work.
