Getsu continued to smile, watching the other Shinobi as he came forward and then stopped. His Vulture didn't seem to be too eager to meet with him, if the way the bird tensed and looked at him was any indication. It didn't phase Getsu though, as he stood there. The boy greeted him and then asked if he was from Kumogakure as well. The white haired Genin closed his eyes again as he smiled, the corners of his eyes turning up, "Yup. And judging from the mark on your belt, and the Vulture at your arm, I am going to guess that you are a Kumogakure ninja as well?" he chuckled softly, his already relaxed posture relaxing more, if that were possible. "Nice to meet you. I'm Getsu." His eyes opened again, a relaxed gaze looking at the boy in front of him. Now that he was closer, Getsu could see that the boy had an odd scar at the bottom of his right eye, and his smile... remained that odd, almost half smirk. Maybe that was just how he smiled.
"So, are you traveling through here to somewhere?" he asked, his voice the normal soft and calm tone that it always was. Getsu was not one to get worked up about... well, hardly anything actually, and that reflected not only in his tone, but his over all posture as well. This boy seemed interesting... He walked loudly, had a Vulture as a partner, and, as far as he could tell, was always smiling. He didn't give off the appearance of a threat at all, aside from the obviously trained body that he had, he could easily be dismissed as someone not even worth taking the time to look at twice. Getsu had learned that sometimes, those were the ones that tended to be the deadliest. If the boy planned on attacking him, he would be at a disadvantage, not only would he have to contest with the male on the ground, but also with the avian that would most likely work with him in the air. He hoped that they would be friendly... He really didn't want to get into a fight this early in his travels.
He looked at the boy from top to toe. Albroit wasn't one to really make conclusions about how someone looked, but he tried the best he could. He liked the fact that the boy continued to smile, well he couldn't see the full smile. Only a movement in his mask. But that was more than enough! "Sweet! Yeah I'm from Kumogakure aswell. Its the belt isn't it?" He laughed loudly about his own joke. Arichan the vulture looked at him with a sarcastic look. Facepalming himself with its paw. He looked from the vulture back to the boy. "Oh no the vulture isn't from around here, he is from some kind of valley. The valley of rumours?" Before he could finish the sentence he got smacked by a large wing again. "If you don't have anything smart to say then just shut that mouth!" Albroit laughed as the bird talked to him that way, and that laugh was answered by a heavy sigh from his companion. He smiled at the boy again, who introduced himself as Getsu. "My name is Albroit, and this old cranky guy is Arichan". The bird looked at him a bit arrogantly.
He was suprised by the question of the boy asking him if he were travelling. He sure was! But he had doubts about Getsu knowing what place he was going to. "Well yeah, I'm going to Arichan's home town, to meet someone. Its in the western part of the desert in the land of Wind". He noticed that Getsu was looking at every part of him. Well he did more of an observation than what was needed. He didn't mind. As his normal posture didn't tell somebody anything about his way of fighting. It could be the boys way of looking at somebody. He looked into Getsu's crimson eyes again. "So why are you here?". He showed his creepy smile again.
Getsu noticed the boy looking at him, as if trying to measure him. In truth, the white haired male was rather... small. His body wasn't very muscled, he was lean and thin almost, and was somewhat on the short side, standing only five foot at his age. Then again... He was only eleven. The other continued to smile in his odd fashion, even as he talked. He seemed excited to have met with someone. It was understandable, walking around on your own could get boring. Though, he did have the Vulture with him that he could apparently converse with. The blond said that the Vulture wasn't from Kumogakure, but from... the Valley of Rumors? The Genin had never heard of anything like that before. Apparently what he said wasn't correct, because the Vulture slapped him and told him that if he didn't have anything smart to say, then to say nothing. Getsu chuckled at the pair, finding it strangely humorous how at odds their personalities seemed. They complimented each other more than likely.
The boy introduced himself as Albroit, and said that the Vulture was Arichan. They were going to Arichan's hometown, that apparently wrongly called Valley of Rumors, to meet with someone. Albroit said it was somewhere at the end of a desert in the Land of Wind. Getsu nodded his head. He still didn't know where the Valley was, but he had an idea of where the Land of Wind was. The next question, where he was going, almost seemed to catch him by surprise, and the boy blinked. In all honesty, he simply hadn't thought about where he was going to go to, but that hadn't been the question had it? The question was what he was doing there. Getsu chuckled, his arms coming down as he shrugged, "Just traveling really." he replied simply. It was the truth, he was just out traveling, seeing the sights and planning on working on some Jutsu before he went back home to see the Raikage and start on his missions. "Want to walk together for a while? It might be beneficial to us both, on the off chance that we run into someone who might not be as friendly as we are." he smiled and gave a light chuckle at the end of his statement, as if running into possible harm was something that didn't bother him in the slightest.
Albroit had noticed that the boy was just a little bit smaller than him, about 10 centimeters or so. Making himself noticeable larger. With that being said, having the six feet tall vulture on his shoulder and arm only made him look even bigger. They reached up into about nine feet together. Next to the clear difference in size he also noticed the difference in appearance. Snow white hair, clothes combined with black and pure white, a mask to hide his face. A coat that covered his neck. It was more than clear that most people wouldn't see a link between the twosome. Since he was barely wearing clothes compared to the other guy. He assumed that the guy was a Genin, he never saw any young Chuunin or Jounin in Kumogakure. The boy seemed friendly. But he couldn't really place him, nor did he really see the boy when he was playing outside in Kumogakure a long time ago. He didn't come out of this city anyhow. He also noticed the katana that the boy was wearing, it looked a bit odd and old. But that would probably just indicate that the katana was very valuable, and very unique aswell. Did the katana and his appearance have a link? He could ask the boy later.
Getsu asked him if he wanted to walk together for a while, he didn't mind some company. Sure Arichan was a lot of company right there. But he preferred having a bit of human contact aswell. "I don't mind, nor does this fellow I hope". He looked at the bird with a sarcastic smile. The vulture just looked at him with a bit of a sullen look. "He is probably a lot smarter than you, donkey". Albroit was a bit startled by the comment. But quickly turned to Getsu again. "It seems as if he doesn't mind then". He showed another smile to the boy. Meeting his crimson eyes. He just noticed that their eye colour was the same. A very funny fact.
The fact that it would have benefits to walk in a bigger group was true, but Albroit didn't really care. Just as Getsu appeared to be he was as careless and carefree as could be. "If we meet someone like that I just hope that Arichan is hungry". He smiled at Getsu with a big creepy smile. He tapped his scar, just at the end of a stitch. The stitch fell out and a little line of blood dripped down from the scar. "Ouch! Well that is what will happen with them if they attack us!" he laughed at his own joke yet again. It wasn't very smart to tap his stitch out. But one stitch wouldn't change the healing process. With that being said he actually hoped that they would get in some kind of trouble. He wanted to brawl a bit with an enemy. Not with the most dangerous one of course, but only walking through three nations would be pretty boring. Well it would be with only Arichan accompanying him. He took another peek at Getsu's sword as he was walking a bit south, towards the borders of the land of Lightning. "So you are some kind of black belt swordswinging god then? Since you carry a pretty dangerous looking sword there". The question was serious, as he didn't know what to expect from this boy and his sword skills. He didn't know on what kind of level the boy was. It could be a Genin, but not all Genin had low abilities. His own ninjutsu was always being complimented as being stronger than average. He was hoping that Getsu would follow his example and face the southern direction as well. Accompanying him a little bit.
He had to admit, to the average ninja the boy and vulture probably looked rather... Intimidating. The Vulture itself was huge, much larger than it looked in the sky, and even then it had looked large. It didn't help that Vultures naturally had a look that most people found absolutely dreadful, the birds that reminded everyone of death and decay. Such an unusual summons... I wonder what other creatures are there to be called upon by ninja... He stood there, smiling lightly as he watched Albroit's eyes shift to his waist, more accurately, to his right hip. He knew the other was looking at the katana that he sported, after all, it wasn't every day that a ninja carried something, most stuck with the shorter blades and kunais. Of course he had those also, but the katana was a precious item to him, something that his father had passed on to him, as his father before him, and so on. The white katana had been in his family for... what was it his father had said... eight? Nine generations now? Either way, the point was that it had been in his family for a long time. However, when the other didn't immediately comment on it, Getsu did not offer any information on the item.
He then answered his question on allowing Getsu to accompany him, or rather, for the pair to travel together for the time being. Albroit was fine with it, and he then turned to ask his partner. Again, Getsu couldn't help but smile, chuckling at the response from the bird. He shrugged his shoulders some, his arms coming to cross behind his head, "Oh? I'm sure that there is plenty that he knows that I do not Arichan-sama. Knowing something, but being in the wrong place to use it is almost as good as not knowing anything at all in a way." he replied to the bird, his head tilting to the side slightly as his eyes turned up at the corners and closed in his smile. He did not think himself smarter than anyone, sure, he might know something the other didn't, but as he said, there were bound to be things that Albroit knew that he didn't. A good case in point on that would be about the summoning techniques that called the Vulture. That was only a small example, as he knew really close to nothing about the blond. Luckily though, Albroit and Arichan both ended up agreeing to letting him come with them.
Albroit mentioned that he hoped that Arichan was hungry in case they did meet someone not so friendly. Getsu chuckled, his fingers interlacing behind his head as he followed along with the blond and bird. "That would be a bad day for the attackers. I'd imagine that having a giant Vulture come after you would leave nightmares, if you managed to survive." he grinned, his tone casual as if the subject of watching a giant vulture attacking someone was nothing new or out of the ordinary. When the boy tapped his scar, Getsu arched a brow as he watched a single suture fall out of the wound. Well... That wasn't very well taken care of was it? Or perhaps... It was because the boy messed with it and continued to open it, as he had just done. It made Getsu wonder why he didn't just have a medical ninja close the wound for him. Surely something as small as that could be done... Or maybe it was because it was small that they didn't and just sutured it closed. When he said that would be what any attackers receive if they came after them, Getsu chuckled again, nodding. "Hopefully though, it will be an easy walk." he replied, noting the eager tone in his now companion's voice.
Finally the pair turned and began walking, Getsu easily falling in step with the slightly taller male. His gaze shifted to Albroit as he mentioned his sword. Getsu couldn't help but laugh as he asked if he was a 'black belt swordswinging god'. That title just sounded hilarious to him. Was there even such a thing? Getsu shook his head, his hands falling to his side, his right hand coming to rest against the hilt of his katana, "No, but my family does tend to specialize in Kenjutsu, especially with bladed weapons. I'm no God, not even a Master yet, but I can hold my own well enough." he replied humbly, his hand sliding down to the mouth of the scabbard, his thumb pressing against the tsuba and letting the blade slide up enough to reveal the white steel beneath. It glinted in the light, and he quickly let it drop back in to the saya, not wanting to have someone notice the gleam of metal and come after them. He looked up at Albroit as they walked along, "What about you? Do you use any sort of weapons? Aside from the normal Kunai and such." This was going to be an interesting walk indeed.

Albroit looked suprised as he heard Arichan make another heavy sigh. "We have a riddler and a knucklehead. Isn't this my lucky day". Albroit looked at him with a sarcastic smile. "And we have a grumpy bird, don't forget him out of the picture". He laughed at the bird. The bird ignored his joke. "At least our riddler is a lot brighter than you are, even though he says he's not". The bird smiled towards Getsu, he couldn't help it to be cocky and arrogant. It was just his nature, the way he responded to almost everybody. He sure did mean it in a good way. Albroit looked at Getsu with a bit of a confused face. "Knowledge is always handy, whether or not you can use it directly or later on. The things you can do always save you time". He smiled at the boy, showing that he enjoyed the company. He liked it that Getsu wasn't like the ordinary Genin that would just tell him that they were smart.
He noticed that Getsu took his pose of walking with his hands behind his head again, it sure was a carefree position. He liked it. But it was not a position for him. He heard the boy talk about the size of the vulture. And he had to agree to that. But his comrade clearly did not. He heard Arichan laugh out loud. For the first time. He looked at the bird. "Whats so funny Arichan?" He was really surprised by the bird. The bird looked at him and Getsu, switching from head to head. He looked at them with a dark smile. "If you think that I am big, then you would get a heart attack when you would see our king." He looked at Getsu in particular. Awaiting a response. Albroit didn't respond to the vulture. As he believed him almost directly, he had noticed that the king of the vultures, this so called king Nobirindan was probably some large bird. He noticed that Getsu was looking at his wound, He whipped off some blood. "I know what you are thinking, such a small cut. Why didn't somebody heal me for it? The truth is that they can't stitch it completely or heal it completely, because it was made with some sort of a special blade. A blade that sucks out a particular cell. They can't figure out what it is. It can only come back when somebody is resting a long time. And my parents do not allow me to do that". He smiled at Getsu with a warm smile, it was still creepy. But it was a bit more of a welcome than his earlier smiles.
He looked at Getsu as he explained the history of his family, he was not a master, the tone of how he told his skills showed Albroit again that the young boy was probably a Genin. He didn't mind, but he just wanted to know for certain. When he saw the young boy chuckle he got his own trusty smile back again aswell. He was thinking of how his father told him never to touch a blade. And yet he became a shinobi! If he would touch this blade would his father notice? Getsu asked him about his sort of weapons. He smiled at the boy. "No, I just use regular kunai and such. But I tend to rely on other battle methods". He focused some chakra to his feet, this made the clapping sound stop. Then he let the sound come back again. "I can neutralize the clapping and such by chakra. Making chakra my battle choice aswell. I use Wind techniques, you will see them one day. Don't you worry". He winked at Getsu. Showing him that if he was using those techniques, they would not be against him.
"My only Nindo is to destroy you...." ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ Takumi decided to go to the most stormiest place of all the great lands. Kumo. Which was personally his favorite. Right after Kirigakure of course. Takumi loathed the sound of rain. Mixed with the blasting of thunder. He inhaled a great breathe. Just to get the aroma of the beautiful land. What are we doing here? Hachibi consciously asked Takumi. I thought maybe we could take a break. Training could be some time later. For now lets enjoy ourselves. Agree? Hmm.... I guess you are right. Takumi smiled and progressed onward.((Exits)) ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ "Oh and succeed in life...."
