[open] Chasing him down

[incubi_abel]

Where: Konoha
When: May 25th
Notes: After the auction.

Sitting at the table, Abel calmly sipped his tea as he waited for his food to arrive. After having lost out on his two bids at the auction, he decided to cut his losses and treat himself to dinner. A few questions posed to one of the guards at the auction had brought him to this nice restaurant where the various shinobi could 'let their hair down' so to speak.

He gazed around at the other patrons as he thought back to the auction, and he had to wonder what that one shinobi's problem with Abel was. He had never seen the man before, but the features were close enough to Itachi's for him to have been a clan member. Perhaps the other was just highly protective of Itachi. Anyway, Abel hoped that he could get a message to Itachi to see if it was possible to get together to just talk before the Chunin Exams when everyone and their sister were going to be busy in Konoha.

"A couple of violets, a few tulips, and a small rose bush that I'm desperately trying to not kill," he said with a laugh. He didn't mention the foxglove or the lily of the valley as they were the more poisonous of his plants. Ironically, he grew them because they were pretty and smelled nice instead of for their more deadly properties.

"My expertise in roses is sadly limited to how much it hurts to fall into them," Itachi admitted. He'd tried growing tomatoes for Sasuke a few years and had barely managed such a simple plant, and Konoha was ideal for growing things.

"There's a fairly good market for plants in Konoha this time of year, if you're interested. Most of the vendors are civilian, but they have a varied selection of ornamental plants." Itachi only knew this because there were all different colors spread out everywhere whenever he passed through.

"I may have to look into acquiring a few to take home with me," Abel said with a bright smile. "Thank you for the information."

After all, he did have plenty of money with him since he hadn't won his auctions. ANd it would be interesting to see what Konoha offered in the way of ornamental plants.
