Open Running around at the speed of... a ninja

[Kyoujouran Gou]

Out of all the places here in Kumo.... Gou had to say he liked the park the most. The city itself was so cold, literally of course but also the buildings. Well, the fancier places were fancy but where Gou lived.... well they were not slums because he had lived in actual slums before... the buildings were awfully grey.

The park, however, was an open place. At first Goou didn't care for it due to the amount of people it sometimes had in it but other times, like now, it was quiet. The Sun was rising and Gou was jogging around the area getting his nervous energy out. Shaking his hands to warm them up, his eyes caught the edge of the giant forest. It was very cool lookign but also a littel scary. He might go in there later. You know once he was a little more trained.

A flash of metal in his mind and he remembered that class he had. He did never find that teacher. He hoped they were ok.

Gou shook his head and proceeded to jog again trying to physically leave those memories behind. He just hoped Tobias- sensei was ok.

The thought passed as he jogged his way to near the hot springs. He could smell the hot springs and just being near them made him feel a little warmer. He took a little break and wiped his brow. He looked around to see if anyone else was nearby. He kind of hoped that Ichika would be around because he liked him. He didn't know a lot of people around here.... He hoped that would change.

[Shinsetsu]

The forest was one of the only two places that Shinsetsu could clear his mind; obviously, being only 13, there were only so many troubles of which he could claim he needed to clear his mind, but all the same, healthy catharsis was imperative. With bow and arrow in hand, he's spent the majority of his only free day in the Ancient Forest, doing some hunting as his late father had taught him. He was still reeling from the close, the grief affecting the familiar as nothing had done since the incident with his sister a few years previously. The hunting wasn't so much be done seriously, rather, it was an excuse to get out of the house to avoid from going completely stir-crazy. It was for than reason, after a day of going at it, he had very little to show for it, and by now, his body ached and he wanted nothing more than to get home and collapse into bed. Then again....

"Yeesh," murmured Shinsetsu as he looked down at himself for the first time at the copious streaks of grass stains, mud, and animal blood on his clothes. Yeah, he really needed to wash up first. Father would kill him.

"Oh!" said Shinsetsu in surprise, freezing at the sight of the other boy who, equally, seemed to have worked up as much of a sweat.... Was he about to bathe here too? That was going to make things pretty awkward. Maybe... he should just come back a little later.

"Sorry, I didn't know anyone else was here yet."
