-=There are three people, all apparently shinobi. One is rather short, and stout. He wears a generic uniform. Dark blue pants and a black shirt, with a dark blue vest, filled with different items. His face is hidden by a high collar, a blank headband resting on his brow, his bald head glistening in the low light.
The other was a tall, muscular man. He wore the same uniform, minus the vest. The collar of his shirt stuck to his skin, covering his mouth and nose. He wore a large sword on his back, and he had a blank headband plate woven into the front of his shirt. The sleeves were cut off, and hs dark skinned muscles were apparent.
The last was an average-sized woman. She wore a dark blue hakama, a black shirt, and a dark blue coat, ending just barely past her knees. Shw wore her dark hair back in a ponytail, and had a blank headband around her neck. The two men looked at Iri, and followed after the woman as she barged into the dojo=-
-=Neko looked toward the door, then back at Kohyoh, and gave her a quick hug and a smile as he stood, and turned toward the porch=-
Thank you, Kohyoh-Sensei...
-=The three people walked into the dojo, instantly drying off as they entered. They all hit their knees on sight of Neko, and he walked up to them, folding his arms=-
....You're late...

As the three people walked past her and inside the dojo, stealing Neko's attention, Alice sighed, placing her hands on her hips. She walked up to the porch and sat on the steps, barely noticing Kohyoh at all.
And here she was going to make up to Nekojiri...

Iri had met the gaze of the two men with a neutral but respectful glance. Behind that calm face was peaked curiousity. Three strangers, all at once. That's a rare kind of thing at the dojo.
Then Iri takes that tally up to four strangers. A woman shorter even than Iri had just shown up. She doesn't say anything, choosing to keep her spot on the right side of the porch and quietly observe. If she wants to ask questions, she'll do that later.

Nyl caught the barest edge of something and nearly lost her balance. Face suddenly set in a hard frown, she edged higher with a small adjustment of her flight, using the dark clouds and the rain for cover. She stayed well away from the dojo.

-=The woman lifts a hand up after taking a scroll from her vest, handing it to Neko. He takes it quickly, and glances at it before putting it into his robe=-
I trust you three made it through the checkpoints alright?
-=They nodded=-
And the general didn;t give you any trouble?
-=They shook their heads-=
Good...
-=Neko sighed, and looked over the three of them, noting another person on the stoop=-
Chunk, Tyrone. You're dismissed. Contact me after the next storm... Motoko. wait in my office.
-=The two men nodded, stood, and seemed to disappear as they raced out the door. The woman gulped heavily, and walked down the hall, to Neko's office=-
-=Neko sighed, rubbing his temple as he headed out onto the porch=-

"Clause-Clause," She nodded as if taking advice from her stuffed bear,"best not to get involved."
Reaching up to place her hand on her head, she realized she still had blood on her hands. Dried, yes, but still there.
"Better wash up.." she told herself as she started to take small steps to avoid falling over.

Feeling someone's gaze on her, Alice slowly turned to look to a woman behind her. She blinked, then heard footsteps as she looked to Neko. She smiled and stood up quickly, nearly stumbling as she bowed to him. "Neko-sama. I am back..."

-=Neko's yellow eyes looked down at Alice. He looked her over for a moment, and smiled, extending a hand to her=-
...Welcome back.
-=He looked over at Iri, smiling, just before looking off into the distance, noting the bit of Nyl's chakra=-
What's she doing all the way up there?

Iri had waved in a friendly fashion when Alice noticed her presence. Once Neko steps out, though, she decides it's time to leave. Best not eavesdrop on private conversations.
With that, she starts to make her way toward the dojo's back door.

-=As Iri leaves, Neko takes a step towards her=-
Something wrong, or do you just like the rain?

She gave him a soft grin and brought her small hand to his. "I'm sorry it took so long... and I hope you can still come to trust me, Neko-Sama." With her free hand she slipped her broadsword (in sheath) from her back to relieve herself.

Kohyoh walked down the hall, an arm around Clause at her waist an the other's hand brushing against the wall to stabilize herself. Stopping only to back against the wall so a new faced lady could pass by her with ease as Kohyoh bowed her head slightly. Her head pounding as she moved her eyes and head to fast.
Coming upon the washroom, she entered. Setting Clause at her feet, she looked up. Seeing herself in the mirror on the medicine cabinet in from of the sink area, she opened it just so the mirror wasn't facing her.

Nyl flew even higher, circling around toward the dojo again.
What is the problem? Do you not think you could...stand to it?
...I can stand to anything. I just prefer waiting. ...Confrontations...aren't my strongest point.
Is not...is not the battle of wills...still a battle?
She had no further time to contemplate this. In a blinding flash, her wings vanished into nothing, and she rocketed toward the ground in a complete daze, miles from the dojo.

Iri stops in her tracks and turns around. She looks at Neko from beneath her arched wing. "Hm? Nah, just been thinking is all. Specifically, thinking about how best to perform Nyl's wind barrier."

-=Neko nods, smiling, his yellow eyes staring into Iri's happily=-
Ah. Let me know of there's anything I can help with...
-=He turns back toward Alice, chuckling softly as she released her broadsword. He was in a good mood=-
I'm sure I can..
-=As a violent crack of lightning tears through thee sky, he looks over in Nyl's direction=-
That was damn close... What are you trying, woman?
~Nyl?~
