[snatching]

[Kid is looking all over the place, taking in the environment. Being aware of your surroundings and knowing the world around you is important when you live a life like hers. Constantly on the move, dodging soldiers, usually stealing something. Taking note of escape routes and characters shadier than her is second nature.

She notices Chrono, but doesn't pay him any mind. He's that guy from the network the other day, nice enough, but could use some lightening up. It was weird that he was staring at her, but not that weird. Lots of guys can't keep themselves from staring at cute girls like her!

...Which is what she thinks until whole minutes had passed, and Chrono is still there. She turns, an eyebrow raised.]

What the hell are ya doin', mate?

[pishirogane]

Attendance was mostly futile. It was impossible to concentrate.

[motherofthesun]

[Oh goodie! What a wonderful girl you are!]

[She accepts the potato, removing it from the fork before chewing it down quickly.]

[snatching]

Just Kid.

[trageteas]

Those are the simple bits. [A nod.] I'd not seen some of these medicines and gadgets until I came here; it's nothing to be ashamed of.

[The thought that this man might be magical rather than just from a far-off history doesn't occur to him.]

[timelessummoner]

[A little, yes. Have some more ear scritches.]

[dragneel]

Kid, huh? I'll remember it!

[ Especially since it's an easy name. Not like 90% of everyone else here. And wait a second-- ]

You're the leader of Shibusen??

Open!

[weaponry]

[ Unlike the usual arrangements of random weaponry around Tenten which relied solely on what type of weapon it was and how presentable it is, Tenten today arranged them slightly differently. All of the whip-like weapons were arranged so they'd be in front and around her at all times. The usual seas and mountains of steel and just about every other weapon you could possibly think of (up to and including a yo-yo) existed too but none of them existed were arranged to be close to Tenten. She didn't even focus on them, instead choosing to study the whip almost nonstop whenever she wasn't giving pointers.

Those who know her exceptionally well or are very observant may notice she's a tad distracted today. Instead of overseeing the weaponry users, sometimes she'll be focusing on the myriad of whips she has in front of her. Her tone doesn't contain its usual helpful zest when it comes to all of these weapons. In fact, if you were to inspect any she doesn't even greet you or talk to you until you talk to her. ]

[motherofthesun]

[Mhm, gotta love those ear scratches]

[forhispeople]

[Oh he is! He's hiding in a nearby tree. But you'll never see him!

[timelessummoner]

[That's to be expected, he supposes.]

[He's not sure whether to bring up Yosuke or just avoid the topic. Why does comforting people have to be so difficult?]

[rebelwithaclock]

[Chrono gives her a shy little smile when she approaches.]

Ah, good! I think some of your students are starting to feel a little more confident.

[shihandai]

I think so too. A swordsman must know the reason they picked up a sword in the first place. Once they have a reason to fight, then the moves will come on their own. With practice!
[which she emphasizes by shouting at one to keep his arms up]
See? We could describe life this way too.

[pishirogane]

[That's just how it is sadly. We weren't trained for this.]

[She raises the gun, aiming at the target, but her arm is shaking. Just a few small jerks this way and that... Soon, she just lowers it again and sighs.]

Re: First Aid Training

[megitsune]

[A tall lady in a kimono and a doctor's apron makes her way over when Naomi isn't busy teaching.]

You seem to be the woman in charge of medical procedure here. Am I mistaken?

[rebelwithaclock]

Uh! Training. [pause] Well. I was. But now I'm not. I guess I'm taking a break? Uh...

[He hunches his shoulders.] I thought...I should...say hello? Since we talked? S-sorry.

[rebelwithaclock]

Life? [He pauses, trying to process what she might be trying to say to him.] You mean...we have to figure out the path we want to take in life, and that will help us know what to do? Something like that?

Re: Open

[forhispeople]

[Suddenly, Ling pops out from RIGHT BEHIND YOU making a creepy face.]

Boo!!!

[timelessummoner]

[He watches in silence. When she lowers her gun, he moves to stand by her side.]

Give it time. Some things cannot be ignored or rushed, no matter how difficult they may be to deal with.

[shihandai]

Mmm. Everyone has a reason to be alive. And everyone deserves to be alive. I think that every person on earth or wherever they came from has a purpose and whether they find it on their own or they have people in life to help them--they all have an 'answer'.

So what about you, Chrono? Do you have an answer?

Re: [Open]

[forhispeople]

A tall young man in a long black Chinese-styled gown and white pants is strolling on by like he owns the place. Upon seeing Nagi, he stops, takes a long look, and holds up a hand in a cheery greeting.

"Oh? What have we here?" He says as if to himself. Finger rubbing his chin, he addresses the girl aloud. "Hello. You must be new!"

[pishirogane]

[She's just... frustrated]

I know... I know I should take time to come to terms with the matter, but we don't have any to spare.

Re: [ open ]

[forhispeople]

[Ling notices the tea from where he's training others, and he lopes on over, pointing]

Oi, oi, Mr. Itachi! Where'd you get that tea! They told me that they were all out when I brought my cup over! Nooooo faaaaaair.

[rebelwithaclock]

[He raises an eyebrow, then delays giving an answer by taking another swig of water from his bottle. That's actually something he's been thinking about a lot lately--the argument he had with Aion is still stinging. The idea that he was selfish, cruel, whiny for his actions...it hurt and made him angry and he wanted to deny it, but when Aion pointed out all the ways his mad rush to help Mary could end up hurting not only her or himself, but other people who might not have anything to do with them, and the way he talked about his injured siblings...

Aion was starting to get to him. He was starting to think that Aion was right all along. And that's scaring him a little.]

I'm not sure. What I've been told I'm "supposed" to do, and what I want to do, don't match up very well. At least...not back home.

[shihandai]

You mean..the future, right?
