[Open] Well he did make his point...

[silverterror]

Where: Konoha
When: May 25th
Notes: After he leaves Adela's section of the auction.

Sephiroth knew people were following him after he left. After all, he'd made quite the spectacle of himself. So he slowed his steps, and wove his way throught he allowed parts of the village for visitors... and waited to see who caught up to him first.

Comments

[thelittleprincess]

It was nice, not having to worry about forcing the conversation along, for the simple sake of pleasantries. Her eyes followed his gaze a couple times, but she didn't interrupt or offer suggestions. She didn't know his tastes, or what sights he might want to see, after all.

[silverterror]

He studied her thoughtfully as he came to halt at one of the eateries, then tilted his head. "Snack?"

[thelittleprincess]

"...they have good chicken karaage here," Ami said, which was a ringing endorsement on her end. Marinated and fried meat seemed to be a universal hit, in her experience, and the baskets weren't very large at all if you split them.

[silverterror]

He nodded once, then went off to order one, paying for it without even a glance at her then going over so he could sit and set it between himself and the other chair at the small table.

[thelittleprincess]

She heaved herself up onto the seat, not protesting the generosity. She could protest about fairness and not accepting charity from strangers, but if he had wanted her to pay then she thought he would have asked in the first place. She dug around in her large bag and pulled out two cans of juice—gifts from two of the auction committee members who had thought she was 'just the cutest thing'.

She could at least offer that much without insulting him, she thought.

[silverterror]

He looked to the drinks, then reached and took one without a word to open and sip, seeming to evaluate its worthiness before taking a more proper sip. "Acceptable."

[thelittleprincess]

"Mm. This brand isn't bad." Not too watery, not too saccharine. Still a bit more syrup than actual juice, formula-wise, but it went down smooth and didn't leave a sour aftertaste the way some might. Her cousin liked the brand, which was why she had gotten two, but it worked out this way as well. "...Are there any other places you want to see while you're in the village?"

[silverterror]

"Weapon and supplies. I'm curious what this village has for quality." His tone was low, a murmur, and he nibbled on the food.

[thelittleprincess]

"The more elite forges are off limits to outsiders without special suspensions, I think." Ami munched on a piece of chinken as well, small cheeks bulging slightly as she chewed. "But the standard to above-average stuff is open."

[silverterror]

"I don't expect to be allowed access to secrets. Relative comparisons are easy enough in any case." He shook his head, then took another long draw of the juice.

[thelittleprincess]

"Then I know a few good places." Good prices, good quality, nothing incredibly fancy but it all got the job done, as the saying went.

[silverterror]

"Then by all means." He tilted his head to indicate she should take him, then picked out another of the pieces. "And if there is anywhere else in the village you find of interest, I'm willing to pay attention."

[thelittleprincess]

"It's hard to think of places like that. There's the tourist-y stuff for civilians, but that gets boring fast. If we go up the Hokage's Mountain, though, you can see some of the more interesting training fields." And it might give him more ideas on where he might like to visit. Most of Ami's interest had been split between the training fields, the Shopping District that was her home, and the Academy, after all. She wasn't social enough to know any real hotspots or attractions for relaxation.

Except for one.

"There's the bath house, too, I guess. Depending on how long you're staying here."

[silverterror]

He regarded her with curious thoughtfulness at that, then nodded once, finishing off the bird. "By all means. I'm certain I can find time for a bath house before I return to Kiri."
