Welcome to Gaia! ::

after shaking Lord Judokura's hand and happy to see every one again but can not remember meeting wabishi at all but to hold her manners and jesters them inside "now that we are all together would any of you like to come in and have something to eat or how about some sake anyone." heading inside to get breakfest ready for the friends how are hungery and to get some sake for the friends that are thirsty.

'How lovely, a family reunion...' Judokura thought nonchalantly to himself after greeting the rest of the party including Vice whom he hadn't seen for a short while. He was never much for crouds, especially those of the younger sort as this one was...but whatever. He just hoped that it wouldn't turn to an emotional one.

Taking up Shakka's invitation for a nice breakfast (how could he refuse) he untied his sachel from the tree branch and followed her into the comely little cottage. It wasnt too cramped up inside, despite how quaint it looked from the outside. It had a nice little dining area, a kitchen, an upstairs, and a rustic looking restroom, which he didnt want to try. All in all, it looked as if one of those traditional pioneer families could fit into it nicely. The smelling salts added a nice sage scent to the place as well.

Judokura moved into the kitchen and made his way to the cupboards for a cup. Sake...Judokura scoffed. Just like crowds, Judokura wasnt much for the Japanese culture either (though the architecture, arts, and women--minus their high voices--are just adorable). Instead Judokura silently filled insisted on making himself some tea if it was available. "Is this your cottage by the ways Shakka?"

Neko's ears perked up at the sound of food "Food...sure." she said all excitedly. She hadn't had a meal in weeks due to her recent journeys. She entered the cottage again and made a seat on the couch. After sitting down she watched everyone.

Vice walks around the cottage talking to friends and he stops by the door then walks out. He walks towards a dark figure in the woods asking "Who's there?". As he got closer he saw more and more of the wanderer. He stops as he spots a rifle in his hands and puts his right hand on he handle of his sword. "Come on out. Come join the party." he says as he is getting closer.

to Lord Judokura "kinnda since I am a drifter I can not get attached to the land or anyone that lives in the village I saw that there was a very old man who was strugling with the hard and normal chores I helped him out and he asked me to stay when he died I just could not move and I have not thought about moving in 3 years" almost done with the food I noticed that the fire was getting low talking over the croud "can somebody plz go get some more wood so I can finish breakfeast you everyone" then looking out the window I see vice but thinking he is doing what guys do outside when they have to go and not noticing the dark figure I just shrugged and got back to cooking.

A brush of sound in the forestry to the left of him caused Valik to pause in his tracks. Like a good hunter, only his eyes moved to the source of the sound, seeking out it's origin; his breath held still. Yet this was not the form of some beast, but of a meer humanoid.

His lip curled in an irritated snarl. "What do you want?" Valik sneered as he veered himself in the onlooker's direction.

"Come on out," the man said, "Come join the party."

And then Valik noticed the young man had his hand possessively poised upon his weapon's hilt. Did he think he was stupid enough to walk up to him with a on-gaurd position as that? It would be the same as walking towards a person whose arm is raised back for a punch.

"Why would I want to do that?" Valik answered, his eyes focused intensely upon the young man. Just then he heard the laughter and his attention broke away to the other at the pourch of a nearby cottage. ..."YOU!" he snarled at Judokura.

Valik's features darkened as he raised a skeptical eyebrow at the girl's question. "Tch. Odd place for an inn?" he chided, waving his free hand to show the forest that surrounded him.

Closing his eyes he sighed heavily in silence. He was in need of refreshments though, but he wouldn't openly admit it. "What is your name boy?" he asked softly though his voice was rough to the young man before him. His eyes once again opened to roam intuitively about his surroundings.

"My name is Vice the Hakekage." he said as he removed his hand from sword. "What is your name?" He walks over to a rock and sets his drink down so both his hands are free and ready to help if needed.
