[Closed] I sense you there.

Who: Karin and Juugo
Where: Amegakure
When: Backdated! Year 68/AGS 1 in July, when Karin was visiting.
Notes: Juugo gets the courage up to meet a foreign visitor. Well, sort of.

Juugo usually watched visitors from afar. He didn't need to be close to feel them, after all. But this one was different. Nagato had been excited for this one, Juugo could tell, and that made him curious.

Two of his older friends, little songbirds, were with him today, as Juugo slowly edged closer. He felt nervous, and reached fingers up to touch his earrings again and again as reassurance. She had red hair like Nagato did, and glasses, so maybe there was a relation there. He knew Nagato had relatives.

But if he got much closer, he'd have to introduce himself to be polite. Juugo hesitated, peeking around a corner at Karin. Maybe she didn't want to be disturbed?

Maybe he should go. Yes, that might be a good idea...

That was better. She wasn't someone to be scared of most of the time, contrary to what Peter liked to say.

"I hope so, he invited me." She smiles up at the older boy. Or she assumed he was older, he definitely had the height to be. "So far. It's wetter than home but comfortable enough."

She shrugs, unsure what to do now. It had been so long since she'd faced such open and innocent curiosity that it almost made her feel like she should be on her best behavior. And she didn't see a reason not to entertain him; he didn't give her a bad feeling to make her think otherwise.

She watches the boy a moment. After her conversation with her cousin earlier, she supposed she shouldn't be surprised that another person able to feel what she feels, especially Nagato's son, would find comfort in the presence of Nagato's chakra in the rain. She probably wouldn't even notice if it hadn't been for the demonstration when she'd arrived. Noticed that the rain was different from normal yes, but that it felt specifically like her cousin? Maybe when she'd left or gotten within his presence.

"You talk to the birds?" It's an obvious question. She'd clearly just heard him do that, but the way he spoke to them... it was like he understood the chirps the way she understood him or Nagato speaking to her. It was something new and actually fairly interesting from where she stood. She'd actually like to investigate it a little if Juugo would let her.

Of course she liked him. She might have started brusque, but she couldn't find it in herself to not like Juugo in all his innocence. He reminded her of Peter when they were little kids. Soft and overall gentle.

"I had a stuffed pink rabbit doll as a child, he was my best friend. And he had to approve of any new friends too." She could understand having friends, granted her rabbit hadn't been alive, but he'd been as real to her as the birds were to everyone. "I think he would have liked you."

She shrugs, "I got older. He mostly sits on a bookshelf collecting dust now."

Which reminded her she should send the toy off with Peter the next time she's able to convince him to stop by Uzushio. Well threaten to anyway, he'd have to really upset her to make her actually do it.

"Maybe if you visit Uzushio sometime, you can meet him."

"Have Nagato send me a missive when you're ready. Or you can send me one, and we'll make arrangements for you to come and visit. I'll show you around too. And you can meet some of my friends if you want to." And all of that comes out a little faster than before, as a grin stretches her lips.

She heard his hesitation, but when he's ready she wants him aware of what he'll be in for. She was social and she tended to drag her friends around to meet new friends if she had the opportunity. It was getting less so, but when it happened it was something of an affair.

And then that last statement hits her full force and she tilts her head, "Are you sick?" Concern flashing in her eyes as she studies Juugo searching for outward signs of illness.

She frowns, not so much in response to what Juugo said, as it was that she didn't entirely understand. What was 'it'? The way Juugo spoke it was some sort of terrifying monster. Which seemed strange, monsters weren't real, just people with monstrous ambitions and terrible goals. Or at least that's what they were taught to believe in the Academy.

"You're safe enough right now." She murmurs her eyes watching him curiously. There must have been something special about the earrings with the way he was playing with them. But she wouldn't ask for the moment. She wanted to take his mind off of this since it seemed to make the boy upset.

"Can you tell me about your birds." She asks in a very blatant change of subject.

And that is exactly what she wanted. He was too innocent to have such a serious look on his face. It makes her heart hurt that he's scared of something he can't control. And he can't get rid of it either by the sound of it. That makes her equally sad for him. Makes her want to wrap her arms around him and hold him close in an effort to comfort the boy.

"That was very nice of them." And she doesn't mean that sarcastically as one might think. She didn't have anyone to take care of her in the immediate aftermath of losing her parents, so it actually comes out a little jealous. A little bit not a lot.

It wasn't too hard for her to take at face value. Summons helped their masters all the time. And while she got the impression this wasn't entirely the same, it was similar enough for her to just accept it. And if Juugo understood them the same way she understood him when he spoke that was a lucky ability to have.

"No they didn't. I'm glad they did though." Because without them she might not have met him to know she wanted to be friends with him.

She nods. "I'd like that." She pauses thoughtful. And it would be interesting since Juugo seemed to understand how them.

"You'll have to translate for me. I don't understand them like you do." She grins wide, excited to meet his friends. Heck she was excited just to see as much of Ame as she possibly could while she was there.
