Welcome to Gaia! ::

This gave Malyos some pause. An entire Shinobi Village wiped out by an avalanche? Somethign about that seemed fishy to the younger Myaku... and he could only guess as too what was really happening in the world. He wished, and not for the first time, that he hadn't had such a sheltered upbringing. he bowed his head respectfully towards where he heard Shinku's voice. "I'm sorry for your loss." He sighed gently, disappointment showing somewhat. "I wish I could have seen it though, well, so to speak anyways." He shook his shoulders, as though throwing the bad thoughts away. "So, what's your sister like? She sounds interesting from what you've said so far."

Hmmm.. a smartass hey? Well, a smartass is better than a dumb... oh... right. He shook his head as that same old sayign went through his own head. "I should like to meet her she sounds... personable." He had no sibligns, the farm couple never had kids of their own, Mal suspected they couldn't, so he didn't know what to expect really from a sibling relationship. He sensed Shinku was ratehr disappointed by his strength relative to his sister's though, so he naturally felt the urge to offer some encouragement. "Well, maybe if you and me train together, we can catch up?" He smiled genuinely, brilliantly then, and pushed his emptied plate away.

Err yes.. Personable indeed. Why did he have the sudden feeling that he was going to be nursign a lot more injuries now that he'd met these people? Still, no one ever said being a Ninja would be easy... or glamorous. "heh, nah you don't have to worry about that... I'm not too big on hurting people. Not if it can be helped anyways." He stratched his neck and reached into his belt pouch, his fingers quickly finding the blindfold and makign the proper creases. As he Wrapped it around his head, being careful to keep it bejind his ears he thought more ont he situation.

"Heh, sounds like a deal." He didn't notice the extended hand, not at first, but instead used both his hands to make a focusing gesture, somethign he'd picked up along the way to help him channel his chakra. His chkra built up just as before, and within a few moments the world becan to flicker into his Myaku vision. it was then that he finally noticed Shinku's Extended hand, and with some embarassment, took it. while giving Shinku a firm handshake, he mulled the question over. "Well, I uh... I don't really know the details..." Mal felt a little inferior the more he thoguyht about it. Shinku was from one of the great shinobi cities, and he was just a blind farmer's kid with a few tricks. "Like I said, I was raised on a farm, I don't know what happened to my real parents, but I was found where they were murdered."

Weirdly enough, Malyos too was picturing Shinku in peril out in the country. He stratched his head, trying not to laugh at his imagined scenario, while finding an appropriate response for the other Myaku's query. "It was a dairy farm, all the fresh milk and good cheese I could eat, though my favorite things were the wild berries I'd find out in the woods." He sighed again, it seemed like he did that alot lately. "I'm goign to miss real woods, they don't seem common around here." THat satement brought up a question in Malyos' head. "So where will we go to train, and when are we goign to start?"

"I figured as much." Malyos said,smiling anyways. he wanted so much to get started to take his first steps on the path of the ninja. Instead, he found himsel fdoign a whole lot of nothing. Looking around for the first time really, Malyos noted the layout of the place, and the amount Shinku had been cooking. "I uh... I'm not interupting anythign by beign here am I? I mean... are you meeting someone or..." He felt suddenly quite stupid, the country chicken stumblign around without a head.

At first, Malyos just looked down, not really sure how to contribute, then something about Shinku's tone made him look up. "Is your sister late or soemthing, you almost sound like you're worried." Malyos wasn't that used to Siblign relationships, as said before, but he knew how tight family was, and he knew how to read people pretty well. Besides, if he could do anythign to help out his new friend, he'd do so gladly.
