I stood outside of the big building with a somewhat anxious expression upon my face.
An alignment of my features that, thankfully, my more diminutive companion could not perceive; for as I bit my lip and my brows hung low over my eyes, I was staring with my chin quite a good angle towards the sky, which positively prevented Isabella from viewing it at all. For I did not want her to see.
As my green eyes scanned the stony, rather grim expanse of the prison, slightly alike to the architecture of the Takikage's Tower, battlements unmanned but foreboding, I held what was not really a secret, but a nugget of information that I did not want to share. For this was not exactly my first visit to the Prison of Takigakure; in fact, it was far from it... four? Well, this would make the fifth. The only difference was that this time, I was here as a visitor, and not as a hostage. It was a bit of a weird feeling, but mainly I was just nervous; I knew how scornful of low-lives Isabella apparently was, which, as I contemplated with an accentuation of my expression, was not exactly good news for me. My heart fluttered in my chest a little; I had already dropped what I estimated was quite a ripple into the pond of... whatever relationship we held earlier today; I certainly did not want to cause another.
But these thoughts passed through my mind quickly, and my apprehension was quickly replaced with the unusually elated smile that just seemed to shine off of Isabella onto me whenever I looked at her. I had been leading us towards the place, needing no visual aide, which I realized was probably a move that would betray me, and had only really stopped then to place my hands in my pockets and gaze above. But now, I would address her.
"So..." And it occurred to me only then that I had no idea what the hell I was going to say in the first place. "You ready... I suppose?" I felt sufficient levels of comfort in her presence to chuckle, then, at my own inadequacy... Which was also weird. Very weird.
The yawning black mouth that had swallowed many a ruffian whole - in other words, the entrance - was manned either side by what appeared to be a duo of the apparently endless supply of AnBu, who stood with an uncompromising and robotic sense of duty that had always irked me. I did not want to approach them much, as I displayed clearly with an almost nauseated grimace, but realized that, yeah, I would probably fuckin' have to. Ugh.[/ul][/justify]
