Focht looked over at the man, the sound of shifting bones caught his attention. Watching the changes until they were done, he went back to finishing up his calculations. The 4 timbers continued to be hammered into the ground during all of this.
"Where did you need to go?"
Over all, he didn't seem to pay the man too much mind for the shifting since it seemed a natural occurance from Focht's point of view.

"I believe it might be just this place in fact. The Dojo it is called? A friend of mine was here, and I am looking for him."
The burnished gold eyes pan back and forth across the construction, taking in details. They seem to linger for for than a few moments on Focht and Renku.
"Though neither of you are him I suspect, no, not at all. It is quite apparent that you are not. Might I enquire as to what you are working on not-one who I am looking for? I have always had an interest in the fine craft of architecture and construction."

This shifting creature was odd but it didn't seem to pose a threat. Focht shrugged when his structure was referred to has 'fine craft architecture'.
"I don't know if I would call it anything more than a simple structure. Its going to be a green house when I am done. Who is it you are looking for?"
He turned back to look at the 4 timbers that were just about far enough down for his liking. The math he had doing was finished so he brushed it away with his hand.

While Renku felt slight curiousity at what the other two occupants of the gardens were doing he stayed standing the very same spot he had stopped. His keen ears could hear the conversation going behind him easily, choosing to listen rather than involve himself.

Anastasius Focht This shifting creature was odd but it didn't seem to pose a threat. Focht shrugged when his structure was referred to has 'fine craft architecture'. "I don't know if I would call it anything more than a simple structure. Its going to be a green house when I am done. Who is it you are looking for?" He turned back to look at the 4 timbers that were just about far enough down for his liking. The math he had doing was finished so he brushed it away with his hand. The man cocks his head to the side. "Why, I hardly know, sir. I've changed so much since this morning, you see... But no, you do not see. I'm afraid I can't explain myself, you see, because I'm not myself, you know. I do not know. I can't put it any more clearly, sir, because it isn't clear to me. And so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me Arrogance. It is a name that I have found quite to my liking. Might I enquire as to you own name?"

The pounding that had been forcing the timbers down stopped, they now stood at 10" high, a full 5" having been driven into the ground in the past couple of minutes.
"Arrogance? Unusual name. My name is Focht. I guess you would be kinda confused with shape-changing the way you do. Is there anything about the person you are looking for that you remember?"
Focht continued to just sit there and look at the 4 timbers. There wasn't much else that he could do without having to ignore the people that had decided to join him. The fact he needed supplies soon didn't help much either.

Just as the breeze danced alongst the regrowning Garden, at the far end, the familiar shower of petals whirled high into her form, Soft and slender, as the petals covered her and sliken along her body into a Long tailed evening gown.The gown, white trailing behind her, Sai strolled towards a near tree, and sat on the ground. The ground underneath her grew into a fresh green patch as the tree behind her came into life, as Vines swirled up the base trunk and bloomed with bright colors. Her dress trailed along her side and waved softly with the breeze. With the same long drawn Sigh, She layed on her side upon the patch of grass, fanning her Blonde Hair behind her, as the breeze flowed through it. Random strands of blonde locks, would caress Her face. The Light giving her blue eyes a faint glow. Every Now and Then Sai would just appear to have a time to herself, some say thats when the best Ideas come to mind. Though after a while She Keopt hearing a slight pounding as if someone was building things on the other side of the what was a garden...

Renku took notice of a new aura that had placed itself in the garden, but didn't really care anything of it, for he was attracted by another presence. He turned his head to the forest, just as a gray wolf jumped out of the bushes.
The wolf looked rather beaten, one side was bloodied, but it eagerly carried something in it's mouth to Renku. He pulled the object from the wolf's mouth and smiled eerily. The object was infact a peice of cloth, one side of it covered in blood.
"How many of you did she take down?" He asked and the wolf responded with a growl. "Six. . .well, that is impressive, especially if you all attacked at once. I assume she left in a bit of pain?" The wolf growled in response. "Good."
He brought the cloth to his nose an inhaled the smell of lilies and Kuro's blood. Yes, very good indeed.

He couldn't help but smile as a familiar scent reached him a few minutes after Sai arrived, he didn't even need to look to know who it was. As for the garden, there wasn't much too it at all, just charred ashes for now. It seemed like Arrogance had lost interest so he went back to work, guessing that the souce of that scent would come to him sooner or later since there wasn't much to stop her except maybe the ash she would get on her dress. Another scent did spike his attention back the other stranger near by. Blood was one of those unmistakable scents that was hard to ignore.
Getting up, from his spot on the ground, Focht started to walk over towards Renku. Like Renku, he had exceptional hearing thanks to his wolf-like ears and didn't have any trouble following what was said to the grey wolf. This was an unexpected twist and made Focht smile.
"So, did your little friend find something interesting?"

"Only how he tastes, tis my only guide. Though I know you are not he, do you mind if I take a nibble? To nibble is a fine connoisseur's greatest pleasure. A taste here, and tidbit there, why I may one day know them all and cherish each's memory."
He looks eager, and continues to speak as Sai enters, his head turning to eye the newcomer with the same stare as earlier.

The fresh grass under Sai was cool, and had a pleasent, relaxing feel to it as hersoft skin layed upon it. resting her head on her arm, she rather stopped all train of thoughts when, a familiar scent and presence filled the Air. Sai pushed herself up into a rather slanted sitting position With her legs at her side. Her dress giving her a somewhat mermaid til as it trailed by her legs. "Focht?" She whispered softly to herself, as She glanced around the ashed garden.
Not beliving the presence, Sai stood up, as she held up her dress at the right corner so that she may walk. As if she had a green thumb, rather green heels, Grass would grow with her everystep as it would spread to only 2ft from her, regrowing any tree, bush or vine that would have been there. The breeze Flowed from vehind her, making her dress and hair dance along with it. As so a mist of petals would flicker through the breeze as it would be on the search for Focht if she wasn't mistaken. The mist of Petals covered more ground then she at a much more faster pace. She raised her left guanlet hand to her neck and held the rose pendant, as she prayed that she would see him again.

Yukio walked through the garden alone. Listening to the wind blow about the trees. He was glad the garden was finally rebuilt, it would give him something to do. He didn't have many other hobbies or things he was good at, but he knew a lot about botany.
He walked to a patch of plants, very beautiful, colorful flowers and sharp thorns. Yukio extended his left index finger to one of the torns and the veins bulged throughout it for a second a slight twitch ran across Yukio's hand and his nail extended slightly into a sharp claw.
He cut into the plant just below the torn and extended a small vial and held it beneath the cut. A liquid, more fluent than sap, trickled into the vial untill Yukio decided he had enough. He took it away and put a cap securely over the vial and slipped it into his pocket. He then pulled out a book and sat under a nearby tree to pass the time.

"Interesting? Now that's one word I wouldn't use. Stimulating, is a much better choice." Renku said smoothly, his golden eyes glimmered lightly. He stood still, his back towards Focht as he addressed him.
He glanced at the wolf near his side, silently and sharply telling him to leave. Renku then tucked the bloodied cloth into his coat pocket, then turned to face his new found disturbance.
"What business is it of yours, what I do is none of your concern." He smiled again, one that usually left an unsettling feeling in others.

((For everyone's reference, I would like to politely remind people that the Gardens are next to the Dojo. The Dojo exploded on a grand scale destroying the Gardens so that ash and charred fallen trees remain.))
Focht smirked, it had been awhile since he had rubbed someone the wrong way as he seems to have done with this person.
"Oh? Its none of my concern that I smell blood?"
He couldn't help but remember the numerous times he had been told it wasn't his concern over his time with the BC. Renku would find that Focht didn't even seem to be phased by the smile or any look he might be receiving. He looked the stranger with the bloody rag over with his one good eye.
"If its really none of my concern, why handle such matters around me?"
Sighing, he dusted his hand off on his pants leg.
"Besides, its not everyday I find someone who can speak to wolves."

"I did not know my business would gain any interest to those around me, I am merely here for something that is mine." His smile still remained, and Renku was not put off in the least by Focht's uncaring nature at the moment.
"You must be from a different clan then, or were you cast out?" Renku turn to face Focht. "It doesn't really matter to me, I am not here to socialize with locals."
