DAY TWO

[ino]

[Another beautiful day in Konoha!



So you've been here for a day. You've had plenty of time to get into trouble and get to know your way around. How about going on a mission with your team, then? Or maybe that new movie opening up today piques your interest ...]

[ MISSION ASSIGNMENT DESK | VACATION | MOVIE THEATER | SHUSHUYA | YAKINIKU Q

As well you should be. This is highly inappropriate for a boy your age!

[pharaohlighting]

It's not like I haven't seen stuff like this before.

[wishmadeinfire]

Which makes it worse. Come on, we really should go, Felix.

[pharaohlighting]

We? You came here to see this. Why not stay?

[wishmadeinfire]

I did not realize this is what it was, and regardless of my choice, you should not be here.

[pharaohlighting]

But it's just so...[He pauses and tilted his head at the screen]...interesting. Terrible...but interesting...

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He looks back too and his lips purse. Interesting indeed.]}

I don't think this is a good influence on you. Come on, let's go. I'll treat you to lunch.

[pharaohlighting]

[He still doesn't what the big deal is...but...free lunch.]

Ain't any worse than things I done already, but okay. You probably better leave first, or they'll think you snuck me in.

[wishmadeinfire]

If you are not out in five minutes I am coming back for you. And, please, do not remind me of... well, I'll meet you outside.

_{[He sighed and shook his head, heading out.]}

[pharaohlighting]

[A few minutes later Felix comes around the corner]

Took the back way.

[wishmadeinfire]

You are an imp, do you realize that?

_{[He shakes his head and motions.]}

Come on then. Is ramen all right for lunch?

[pharaohlighting]

[KANYESHRUG]

All the food here is strange, but alright...

[wishmadeinfire]

What are you more used to?

_{[He was honestly curious. He knew the things Felix as an adult was used to, but not as a child. Really, this was all quite insightful, if I bit... disturbing, in it's own way.]}

[pharaohlighting]

Dunno. Normal things? Bread and cheese. Meat pies. Fried fish. Barbeque.

[wishmadeinfire]

All right, that is quite the list. I didn't realize you had such an extended palette.

[pharaohlighting]

If you say so. I eat whatever I get. Nothing fancy like the flash neighborhoods get, I'd bet.

[wishmadeinfire]

Flash... oh, you mean nobility or the rich.

<sub>[He was still adjusting to the other's lingo, but was getting it quickly.

He went up to the ramen cart, ordering them both the biggest, best ramen bowls full of vegetables and meat.]</sub>

Well, I hope this is flash enough for you. You need some meat on your bones anyways.

[pharaohlighting]

[Felix blushed slightly at pulled the bowl towards himself with wide eyes]

Thanks.

Um...how d'you eat this stuff? [What are these sticks they gave him?]

[wishmadeinfire]

It is a bit of a learned skill.

_{[He smiled and clapped the two little sticks together and showed him, though he was a bit less graceful at it than he liked.]}

[pharaohlighting]

[He watches and tries to mimic Ashura, but mostly they just skid off each other]

[wishmadeinfire]

Heh, all right, go ahead and just tilted the bowl up and slurp it. That's the easiest method if you're not good with the chopsticks.

[pharaohlighting]

[Felix smiled bashfully but did just that. Noisily.]

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[He grinned brightly at the young man, happy to have gotten a smile out of him in some way.

He went on eating his own, quieter than the other.]</sub>

So, do you like to do anything in your spare time, Felix?

[pharaohlighting]

[He paused to wipe his mouth and shrug]

Ain't ever really had much 'spare time'. Or anything to do with it. Lorenzo don't have us do much 'cept maybe clean up a bit, and Keeper liked us to be quiet. I talk to people or try to read. Used to pick things off the old broadsheets, but mostly all I can find nowadays is magazines and old books Lorenzo buys to make the lobby look nice. Or something. Ain't sure he reads them.

[wishmadeinfire]

So, reading. We could head to the library and see if there are any texts that strike your fancy. Or a store if you care to own the manuscript.
