Aeria would appear at the open ramen shop, holding an empty bottle of water and looking about. She stood behind the counter, just before one of those spinny booth chairs, and looked towards the menu above. Without looking, she tossed the bottle in hand towards a garbage can a few meters over; it went in with no trouble. "Shrimp looks good~.." The young woman casually mused this to herself, arching an eyebrow and leaning on her left hip and leg dominantly. Her arms came to fold in sync with the slight puckering of her lips. By the time her eyes came down there was a friendly, older looking, man there. She knew already what he'd ask and beat him to the chase. "Shrimp special please~.. Um.. Large bowl, Nanitozo..?" The soft spoken words quickly caused the man to react, turning with a smile to shout at a younger girl. The two looked alike and, as such, it was possible she was his daughter. The thought of this made her giggle, watching as the girl (around her own age) went to work.
It only took short while. Within a few moments, the girl closed in with the steaming bowl held atop a platter and cloth. Aeria finally snapped into reality and sat in the chair she'd been behind, giggling at her own mental mishap. She sat before the large-ish bowl, cheeks slightly pink at the thought of eating something so delicious looking.. Then again, there was embarrassment too! She was a young woman with a pretty developed body thanks to her undying will to train. She was always one to eat more then the rest, building energy to quickly be turned to muscle. Telling herself this technical truth was enough for an abrupt shout, "Oye!" before picking the chopsticks up to eat. The young woman went at it ravenously, her face stern as a never-ending waterfall of thin and glowing noodles fueled in reverse fashion towards her barely opened mouth. She only used the one hand (duel wielded) utensil to help support the oncoming flow, quickening the pace to reach the bowl's eventual finishing. Every now and again Aeria would break off the flow to expertly pick at shrimp to dig up. The shop owner merely stood with his eyes tightly slit, arms folded across his stomach as he laughed hardily; it was quite obvious now that she was a repeat customer, coming here nearly every day at lunch time. "Such a woman! You'll give some lucky man a run for his money in holding dominance! I can tell by the way you eat!" The comment was one she'd received several times from this particular individual. Really, she never delved to far into thinking about it; A man..? With her..? She didn't talk enough to attract those! men didn't go for the strong ones anyway; they needed something to protect and cherish.. Not stand behind and root for them as they punch others' lights out! She gave a brief nod through the newly reformed waterfall of noodles, giggling over her food as the young girl made apologizing gestures from behind.. yeah, what he said could also be taken as an insult. She didn't see it as that way though..
"Thanks mister Teuchi! Same time tomorrow evening.." A half hour had passed and she finally finished.. Well, not finished but finally decided to get off her butt and walk this new trunk-inducer off. or at least turn it into muscle as she'd told herself earlier~ Within a few moments worth of time, she'd went into her left arms cut-off sleeve and pulled forth some Ryo.. A small tuffle of bills was left on the counter, alongside a few coins as the usual tip. Aeria would be off soon after, going to enjoy whatever the rest of her normal day would be like. This might be the last of said things since she'd officially been given the symbol of a shinobi. She would only need to receive her first task and preparation assignments before being able to go off like her father.. A Tokubetsu Jounin known for his innate Taijutsu skill and prowess as a messenger-nin. She too wished to follow in his footsteps, adding to the village's style and then going on to work as specialist shinobi. These swooning thoughts in her mind only proved to reawaken the pre-mentioned determination.. With a slight smirk, the young girl set out on a mad dash, swerving through the newly growing crowd.. Yet again, she was on her little training run through the travel networks of the village.

”And You Are?”
M o n a
"I see, a selfish reason not unlike that of many others ..." She continued to watchthe ripples in her water, silence creeping about her visage for but a few moments until she spoke again. "Yoite ... did you know you were a king?" A soft smile slipped about her lips as she looked over the counter. The cook bringing her the small bowl of ramen soaking with broth, and no meat. Maybe it was some whimsical presence in her mind that made her think this way, but she was certain it was true. "Without a king, a Kingdom cannot prosper. And our king would not be the one named Hokage, it would be the youth. Those of us that carry the future of this Village with us ... for without the youth, there is no future. Simply the past that elders repeat because of their own experiences. I understand your need to protect this Village, and I do as well understand your need to become stronger. But if you fall Yoite, a portion of this Village's future will be ripped away never to be seen by prying eyes. One of our king's dead before he could become a protector, it is a sad predicament indeed." She lifted the cup of water and took a sip, wetting her slightly dry mouth from all of the talking. "I must just seem like one who babbles about nothing ... but I too became a ninja for selfish reasons. Merely to disperse myself from my cousin's shadow. But I am a Shinobi now to play the role of a King. To care for those around me, and ensure the future of this Village is in tact. I do not live for the present, I instead live for the future, and in turn protect those Kings after me so that their future carries on as well. I, as a King, am not meant to die in battle until there is one more important to protect. A child who can barely walk, a newborn baby whom first glances upon its mother. Those are our future kings, and until they gain their position. I must live ... for them."

Her entry had gone unknown by most, and yet the few that had been captivated by the posed grace she presented were breathless. A cold air rushing the room instantly, but she minded not of reaction nor of recognition of whom she was. At the the moment, her interest was on her family member in a distant importance. She occupied the last seat, long hair brushing past her shoulders and down the siding. " The first Alice was a gallant red one, wielding a sword in a hand in wonderland..." The glass was set before her, and she watched the water run along the clear siding. Smiling to thank the man, she paused her song and the Owner lingered upon her face, a lovely shape that befitted her aura. Drawing a hand to the glass, she watched the air chill over it, creating a delicate fog as if it were steamed all the while singing to herself, "Slicing down everything in her path, she was followed by a bloody path.

Slowly her eyes fell upon the girl who had denoted her incorrectly, she smiled looking toward her. Mona. Very well known, almost famous in the house of their family and yet she would be praise such a girl needfully. Brushing her lip against her thumb, the moist texture of water was endeavoring. " Septima..." Was all she began with, attention back upon the glass she had now lifted. " Septima is my correct name, Mona love" Her eyes cut away from the glass, away from the boy and seeming to piercing particular into that of the girl's own livid optics. How amusing, this girl was. The corners of her lips lifting higher, of course she would answer the question presented. " To replenish from my journey, I wish to be in the best shape possible for when I see the smiling face of my dearest sibling...." Fingers ran along the counter, " And yourself?".
