Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christian shrugged, ''I guess I didn't think of that, tattebako. Anyways! My name is Christian, tattebako! Hello, Ama-chan! And Ka-kun! ...And... err.. I can't call you both Ka-kun...... Karo gets it, 'cause he didn't strangle me, tattebako!'' He said, smiling.

(( I'll go off of that then, can't be bothered to look through all of that. Not saying I'm lazy or anything, I'm just not a tip top shape due to events in life. ))

After staring at the menu intensely for what seemed to be an hour, Mizax finally decided on what she wanted. Long deliberation had been given, and all she had wanted was a simple, regular bowl of ramen. She leaned over towards Karo and whispered to him. "Can I get a bowl of ramen?" She asked. She didn't really have any experience in a restaurant, since as the daughter of a tracker, she hunted for food rather than pay for expenses. It was one of those unique things about her that made her daily life stand out. Eating within the village was a delicacy for her.

"The group disbanded." Were the first words out of her mouth. It was true. "I don't want to talk about Karo, can you drop it?" She said. Her gaze we now set on the table before her, her mind blocking out the village that she used to be in. Sure she could remember what her father was like before he died, how she lived with Karo, but everything after he left was blank, everything but herself leaving the village. Secretly though, she knew. Her mind had blocked it out in order to protect her, and she would accept that. Without thinking further on the matter, a small was plastered onto her face as she turned back to Karo.

"What about you? What have you done since you left?"

One thing that cannot be changed, is that we were all born in a place, that lives by the sword. So my dreams are of children, orphaned by blood, spilled by these hands...

Kakouton gave Christian a half hearted smile and continued to eat his found. He swallowed before talking. "Good name," Kakouton said simply as he picked at more of the Ramen until there was just the juices at the bottom. He peered into the bowl and saw the reflection of himself before shrugging and gulping the brown seasoned water down.

...But those dreams must not become reality.

Christian blushed at the comments to his name, and then noted Amara's question, responding, ''I.. don't know, tatte... Konoha is so quiet nowadays. And I don't know where my teammates are... so what could I do? There's people here, tattebako! Fun here, tattebako!'' He said, with a bright smile, in an enthusiastic voice.

Christian sighed, and looked down, ''I.. I don't know.. Masa-sensei is a great Kage, but... I haven't seen him.. maybe he was replaced...? Or... worse... tatte...'' He said, and began to look in the direction of where Leaf was. Although he couldn't see it, he was worrying about it, and hoped nothing bad had gone on, since he left. ''Anyways.. I guess I should go back. I'm not safe here.. the old hags in the Council always told me I was only safe in Konoha, tattebako! And told me I should never ever leave, tattebako... But I'm a ninja now, so I can, tattebako!'' He jeered, and began to gain back his cheerful mood. Before anyone knew it, Christian dashed off, back to Leaf.

Karonashi shrugged as he slurped down his noodles.
"As far as I can tell, ninja are one of three things - calm and collected ninety percent of the time, like Kakouton-sensei here. Second, they are happy, like that kid and the girl who was traveling with the monster earlier. Third, they can be coldblooded monsters who don't deserve to be called human. Masashi is a fine example of that." He shook his head as he drank the broth down. "There are a few who are exceptions, like yourself, who has both the elements of the happy persona, and a colder, more ruthless one that seems a tad more extreme than Kakouton-sensei but not anywhere near as bad as Masashi; or or uncaring people who are loyal only to themselves, like that girl....Chessa, I think? For example, during our aborted bell test, she just stood by and watched as the three of us began trying to get the bells." Karo stood up and stretched his back out.
"But that's just an outsider's persepctive - remember, I only became a ninja a few days ago. There could be nuances that only trained shinobi and kunoichi are privy to."

"I um..Kaku.." Amara said as she watched him get up and leave. She didn't like seeing him walking away. It made her feel cold inside. The woman sighed softly and put her arms on the table, resting her head in said arms as she looked over to Karo as he spoke of the different types of Shinobi. She just sighed and started staring off into space for a little bit.

"Yeah...Different types..." The female said as she pushed her chair back and stood up. "I think I'm gonna go to the hot spring or something."
