For a time, Xzavior enjoyed his solitude on the beach, sipping his tea peacefully, and allowing the sound of the crashing surf to sweep him away into a much-needed seaside nap, a welcome respite from the intrusions of cleaning ladies and turkeys.
He was alone, in his study. His dream study was more ornate than his waking one, if possible, every surface gilded in brass and gold, endless shelves of tomes that stretched on in every direction, several tables arranged around the room, each as messy as the last but organized in Xzavior’s own way, untouched by the aging harpies that plagued his family’s estate. This was his place of solitude, where his noble work could be pursued in peace.
He was glad to be here, making his way to one of his desks, and sitting before a teetering stack of arcane tomes, pulling one forward and opening it to a seemingly-random page, that just so happened to be the one he was looking for. He began to read, scanning each page for mere moments before flipping it to the next, taking in every bit of information in a blur of eye movements.
After mere minutes, he had finished with this sizable tome, and began to thumb through his stack of books, choosing another and flipping through it, scouring information in much the same way.
In his sleeping concentration, he did not sense the approach of Lucius or his turkey following, nor the opposing fowl army amassing on his other side. Indeed, he slept through the initial charge, only awakening when the opposing walls of feather and talon crashed into each other around him, swallowing him up in a tide of flesh, drowning out the sounds of the ocean with gobbles and screeches. When the skirmish had subsided, the turkey corpses littered the entire beach but for a perfect circle around Xzavior, who had not moved from his relaxed position, or even yet opened his eyes.
Groggily, his amber eyes opened, blinking in the bright sunlight for a few moments, an annoyed grimace on his face. It seemed there would be no peace for him today, no matter how hard he sought it. Luckily, these turkeys had seen to their own disposal.
Some meters away, Xzavior heard a peal of laughter, in a vaguely familiar tone. Amber eyes scanned the sand and came to rest upon Lucius, his grimace turning to a look of surprise, and then a smirk. He remembered this boy from his time at the academy. He made his approach, bloodied corpses moving aside of their own accord to make way for his graceful steps.
”I had hoped for a quiet nap on the sand, but this is a welcome surprise as well! Good day and well met!”
It was clear that Lucius had not wasted his time since the academy either, judging from his obvious skill in the genjutsu arts.
As Xzavior greeted an old acquaintance, another from the academy appeared, that Xzavior did not recognize by name, but by sight.
”And greetings to you as well!”
Xzavior had, before his time in Hidden Slumber, loathed social interactions like this. However, he now saw it as an opportunity to make friends and influence people, something he was already beginning to do.

With his laughter dying out, Lucius slowly turned his attention back into the direction of the two that were now in the area of the recent turkey massacre. His star sparkling black eyes peering through the purple tinted large round glasses he wore as he looked from Xzavior to the other male and then back again, before he straightened himself up, using his free hand to pull and adjust at his clothes as well as casually swiping any immediate sand from the front of his chest. He then rose the cane in his hand upwards, giving it a smooth twirl and then letting it come to rest under his arm pit. Immediately, he strolled forwards in a far too exaggerated manner, his free hand now raising upwards and sliding across the wide brim of his hat as he adjusts it, removes it from his head to allow a more accepting bow of greeting, before returning it to his head as he rose back up to his normal height once again, finishing the entire action with a swift tug to the side as he straightens the hat to rest just over the lenses of his tinted glasses, shading his gaze from view entirely. "Wel'llo ther', ya two! Didn' exp'ct an'one ta b' 'ere at thi' tim' 'nd plac'!" He says with a wide grin forming across his lips as he raises his ungloved hand and snaps his fingers in front of him, the corpses of turkeys that lined the beach around them immediately appearing to vanish one after another in a wave from where he was standing, the starlight in his eyes sparkling intensely behind the lenses of his sunglasses as they vanished from the beach. He would immediately now turn his attention onto Stein, who he had ran until rather recently not too long ago. They did not spend much time together, but they were at least minor acquaintances. Both were to be fair, just in different ways as far as Lucius was concerned. "Di' ya st'p by 'ere fo' tha hunt? 'Fraid it' all ove' now thou-" He says with that same grin plastered across his lips, it was true though. All the invading fowl had been completely defeated and even erased from existence entirely at this point. It was even a very easy action to do, seeing as all he apparently needed to do was snap his fingers and the entire world around him altered and moved to his very whim. Despite this, Lucius appeared unresponsive to what was certainly an overwhelming control of absolute power.

◤ So, for the time being, it would seem that those who had come, it wasn't just a visit, but more so to rest an relax as well. Granted a nap would seem to be something that could be used right now for the Uchiha, but would it really be a good idea with those turkeys that had been swarming in groups an packs. Either way he was looking at it, Stein knew that rest would be better for his body with how everything was going on in the village, even if he was not really sure for what reason it was going on. All he knew was that for the time being, he was going to rest an clean his thoughts of anything that would weigh him down an bring him to a stop. As he was taking a deep breath, he took a seat on a broken log, looking at both the people now he was with, even if one of those people, had a speech that needed to be deciphered to understand it. Looking over at Lucius, he took a deep breath, letting out a deep breath before shaking his head slowly towards him. "Well seems like Lucius is still speaking with an accent that makes it hard for those to understand it well. Seems like the short time we had split from here, has either made you stronger, or has found you with new gifts that it might have brought to you." Stein was going to take a moment an speak with Lucius, to catch up in a way, even if nothing had happened since the last time that had seen each other. Looking back over towards the other person, Stein took a glace, wondering where this person was from, an with the way he might have been dressed, seemed like it might have been someplace with a strict code of clothing as well. Placing his hands together, his fingers closed an touched each of his knuckles, overlooking at the other. "Unlike this person here, my name is Stein Uchiha, but you can call be Stein if you want, It doesn't really bother me. What would be the reason why you ended up in this village, unless you came here to get nothing more then rest an sleep as most others would do here." Stein was a little odd right now, but it might have been from him pulling off something that was a little out of his range of power. He needed some time to recharge himself, to get back to what he was needing to be at, knowing it was gonna take him some time as well. He wanted to get stronger, to get the power for revenge he was seeking, even if the cost would be brand him a traitor from the leaf, an cast him off as a missing ninja. If that was the price it would cost him, then it would be the price he would pay to get his revenge.

Xzavior’s smile only widened as, with a twirl of his cane, the corpses of the turkeys vanished from the otherwise-stunning seascape setting of the Hidden Whirlpool. Xzavior knew enough about Lucius and those of his village to be skeptical if the turkeys had even existed in the first place, at least in this place. In that aspect, though, it mattered little.
Reality meant little to one of the Heudini, and less to one as skilled in their arts as Lucius Graeme.
Though Xzavior had not made effort to befriend his classmates in his short time in the public education system, Lucius was one person who he remembered fondly, with his extravagant dress and charming lowborn accent. That he was a skilled magician was even better, in Xzavior’s reckoning.
This other person Xzavior knew less of. Stein of the Uchiha clan had been more secretive and certainly less overt than Lucius had been. Even his own extensive research had turned up little, a rarity for one as skilled at research as the Psion.
In any case, Xzavior was happy to be here among others who seemed to be in good cheer, just in time for the holidays. It seemed only earlier this very day that thanksgiving had come and gone, and the spirit of christmas was already upon them!
As Stein addressed him, seemingly unaware of the important company he found himself in, Xzavior leaned his head back and laughed aloud.
”I seem to have forgotten my manners along with my sunscreen! I am Xzavior Reginald Smith, of the Hidden Night, at your service.” Xzavior said, with an ornate bow, as if addressing royalty. The Uchiha appreciated undeserved reverence, he knew.
As he stood from his bow, he heard a chattering from inland. The shuffling of countless baked feet, sprinting towards them with murderous fury on their minds!
”It seems a new hunt is only just beginning! To arms, lads!”, Xzavior called, drawing Terminus Est with a dramatic flourish.

Suddenly Xzavior would declare for them to go up in arms once again, causing him to turn his attention back towards the other direction that the male was pointing towards, and the wave of gingerbread men that were popping up and lining down the beach itself. "O'. Loo' wha' 'e 'ave 'ere th'n. Wa'ch this'ne b' surpr'sed!" He says as a grin forms across his face and he casually walks forwards towards the large horde of cookies that were coming his way. Casually Lucius reaches into a pouch at his side and draws forth a twistedly bound leather book of suspicious craftsmanship. It's bindings appearing of something that was certainly not normal leather, and equally stitched together in what could only be considered medical stitching. Flipping through the pages he stops upon a single page and looks up over his purple shaded sunglasses before looking down at the page again. "Ah. We nee' a soli' distr'ction! Magic Replacement!" He says before raising a gloved hand and snapping his fingers as a sudden explosion of smoke forms across the entire hoard of gingerbread men that were all marching towards them, the smoke itself even appearing to spread far into the distance past where it was easily able to see for the end of the hoard. As the smoke envelopes and completely conceals the hoard, a loud roar would suddenly erupts from within the smoke as a larger than normal gingerbread man as it's twisted mouth tears open more than normal, screaming into the sky and raising it's cookie arms upwards as well before peppermint claws errupt from it's round hands and then it crashes it's hands into the ground before it and enters a bipedal stance. It would then immediately dash forwards towards the three shinobi standing on the beach, passing harmlessly over Lucius who was standing ahead before crashing it's clawed hands outwards towards Xzavior with what could only be considered a full intent to cleave the male in half. Lucius in the background behind the monster would be casually shadow boxing the air, making a downward slam motion with both his hands as the monster made a similar attack upon Xzavior. His gaze lighting up as he watches the attack, before he shakes his head and puts on a half assed appearance of surprise.

◤ Now, it seemed like it was going to be a strange day, but for the others, might have been a normal day in their eyes, or something different as well. Stein was wondering what just happened, an what he was missing, only see Lucius do something which he shouldn't have been doing. In which case it was nothing more then a bother to stop someone who might have seemed to be having fun in his own way. Not knowing what he could do to help, he started to breath a little heavy, gripping his cheat, feeling like the warmth from his body was fading, his breath being seen from the wraps. The pain slightly started to fade away, to be replaced by something pounding his his chest, which wasn't his heart, well his frozen heart, something else was there, now sleeping an unsure of what it was. Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down, to focus back on what he was supposed to do, only to see what looked like little gingerbread cookies, but then be replaced with a giant model form. Indeed it was strange, an it seemed to be pulled by the only person who seemed full of tricks, which Stein blinked, before looking at the new target of what seemed to be the attack end. Trying to figure out what to do, Stein took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a second, only to open them back, his eyes having switched to his Sharingan, before switching over to the Mangekyou, as he watched the cookie going in for the swing. Trying to focus on the start of the cookies hand, the teen was aiming for his Implosion, trying to take the cookie into a different location in space, at least to help the other person out from being attacked.

The gingerbread onslaught crashed towards them, the sounds of doughy feet and flashing of sunlight on peppermint candy fortelling their coming. Xzavior watched them come, unperturbed.
A giant gingerbread man formed before him, ignoring his fellow teacher and coming straight for the Psion. It clearly knew who the true threat was, here! Xzavior saw as the Uchiha moved to intercept the attack, but was not needed.
Xzavior’s limbs all went limp as he began to crumple to the ground, before an unseen force seemed to catch him, holding him aloft and pulling him forcefully to the side, out of the way of the attack. If he knew that Lucius was behind the assault, he did not show it.

At the same time, a strange spiral of warped space would wind around the monster's attacking arm and immediately cause a good portion of the arm to vanish into the strange warp of space that the Uchiha had cast in response. Of course this would cause the creature itself to raise it's newly injured limb and begin to shake it, crumbs scattering onto the ground and then quickly beginning to move and shift as they all grow into identical gingerbread men that had been previously attacking earlier. Their bodies constructing and then charging forwards as they attempt to leap onto and begin attacking at the Uchiha that had essentially created them with his previous jutsu. The giant gingerbread man would shake his broken limb a little longer until a large candy cane stick would emerge from the broken area, before being broken upon the ground into a sharp point and then thrust once again at the male that had rag dolled out of the way. Lucius continued to casually move his body in the background, throwing additional punches at the air before suddenly stopping his actions and simply turning to look in the direction of the two that were combatting the gingerbread men. A hand raising casually and drawing the sunglasses from his face, before producing a cloth from a pocket and beginning to casually clean the lenses of his glasses.
