77. After

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena made it about halfway back from Raine's on one burst of feeling okay again, but now she's sitting against the outside wall of a random building, head in her hands again. Think the building belongs to you and an intruding ninja is bothersome? Feel free to tell her so. She might flick a few of her molting yellow feathers at you]

Then you should go rest.

I can't. [ He doesn't frown, but he's worried about not having heard a word from his cousin to date. Add to that, this is as close to "resting" as he'll go. A shinobi's day has too few hours as it is. ]

[tell us about it]

...I know the feeling.

[ A fleeting glance, and he nods. ] I don't doubt it.

[half-sighs and stands up]

Better get going. Good luck finding him.

[ Blinks, nodding at her. ]

Yes. And thank you. [ Pauses, as he stands to look at her. They'd been.. friends? Strange. Usually he avoids the company of others like the plague. But having an adult shinobi to talk to whom doesn't want to decapitate him on sight is nice. ]

You may accompany me if you wish. Though I believe I have an idea of where to look for him.

[corrinesbell]

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'm gonna make it that far, and I don't wanna slow you down.

[ Curt nod. ] Until next time, Sheena-san. [ And he's off, walking at a moderate pace into the village itself. ]
