Spark Word

The Suna Market buzzed with activity in the early morning like an upended hive of ants. The best time for selling and buying in the early morning or late evening once the sun had begun to lose it's heat with no one with any sense doing much during the middle of the day other than taking refuge from the burning rays of light. It hadn't taken long for Azarea to catch onto this routine which saw the woman up with the gray light of dawn and browsing the market stalls for much needed equipment. The woman lingering by one fruit seller her eyes on the juicy ripe offerings the man had for sale before reluctantly she moved on towards the more militant equipment. Namely brushes and scrolls. For as much as she wanted to buy her weights worth in fruit at the moment there was no way she could hope to carry such things without the assistance of fuinjutsu.

"Maybe breakfast first though..." She mutters as her stomach protests her leaving behind the food as she glances around spying a small tea and coffee shop the small tables crowded with the early morning throng as she waits in line ordering herself a scone and some black sweetened tea as she searches for a place to sit. Eventually realizing that she would have no luck save for a small table near the back with a lone man enjoying his morning drink. Ambling up she paused just a few arms length short and offered the gentleman a small closed lipped smile recalling the reactions of the teens from the other day.

"Good morning. Would you mind if I joined you?" She inquired with a tilt of her head indicating the empty seat in front of him with a nod.

Joō no Taikanshiki no Regaria [Queen's Coronation Regalia]
A mutated variant of the Aburame clans Yūdai no Omorejō ["Bewildering Grandeur of the Alpha"] resulting from the subsequent poisoning of Azarea's former Yūdai no Omorejō hive to prevent potential hijutsu theft. While the Joō no Taikanshiki no Regaria lacks the Yūdai no Omorejō size instead Azarea's hive has maintained the ability to produce alpha pheromones and commanding vibrations. Evolving instead to hyperspecialize in these two aspects allowing them to produce pheramones and vibrations strong enough to be detected by human hearing and sense of smell.

Reigning Chakra Control
Fine tuning her chakra control to a razor's edge Azarea is capable of performing delicate techniques with minimal to no wastage of chakra. Allowing her to conserve her reserves in prolonged combat and managed more finickity techniques and jutsu.

Kagura Mind's Eye
Born with a natural affinity towards sensing chakra like her Father before her Azarea has trained herself to become a capable sensory shinobi. Unlocking the Kagura's Mind's Eye, and with it, the ability to passively sense chakra signatures in the distance (when using the technique), thus allowing her to not only track, but also memorize a person's chakra signature, even if barely any chakra is being used. Due to her proficiency with this technique, Azarea can currently passively sense chakra up to 500 meters and actively at 2.5 kilometers.

[Oonakayama Takato]

This Is For the Future

For The Days To Come

Takato had, as he often did, worked through the night. Rings around his eyes and a tired expression told about the tedium that such had been. Many moving part of a machine of bureaucracy to be tinkered, many cogs and gears to discard when they had become redundant, all so the byzantine mechanisms of governance continued their work. He liked to think it in those terms, he liked saying it when his children found him marching on before he fell upon the nearest couch to rest what few scant hours he could scrape until the cycle repeated itself or when he was allowed to mercifully rest.

Any other man might have decided to bemoan and complain. Sometimes, when Takato felt older than his age and time made his bones ache after a day of moving little else but his hand as it would write documents. But in truth, after so many years in his position, he couldn't see it in any other way. He closed his eyes, trying to ease the ache from tired eyes away as the steam of freshly brewed tea caressed his worn features. He saw his face, a darker reflection, looking at him tiredly as the beginning of rough beard began to show, dark brown like his hair with streaks of grey and silver.

Sighing he would look to his breakfast, sitting alone in a restaurant that he had frequented since he had been a boy, the owner older than him and bringing him the same thing every time he came. A trio of flat bread on a plate, dried dates, apricots and nuts, jam and cream. Enough to remind him of the days in which the sight of such delights would water his mouth. He reached for one of the flat breads, ripping a piece and spreading jam and butter on it before taking a bite. Closing his eyes and sighing despite himself, the Kazekage savored the flavors and welcomed the relief of warm food.

Here, he oddly felt at peace. But the peace seemed to be interrupted slightly, not out impoliteness but for the opposite as a young woman stood before him a warm smile on her face. He felt surprised. After all whenever anyone saw him it was either with reverence or respect. Or sometimes both, at least in his village. Still chewing his first bite he would nod, looking for his tea, gulping down a sip before he spoke hoarsely. "Yes, please, you may sit." He added, assuming that either the woman had been stuck in her head or being a foreigner. "You're not from here, are you?"

Red

"Thank you," She murmurs with an incline of her head as the young woman sets her tea and plate of scones on the table before pulling out her seat and settling down. Taking the weight off of her feet as she undoes the red headscarf protecting her from the worst of the elements now that she's inside. Allowing the crimson red locks that had before been barely peaking out through the fabric to pool over her shoulder. Grasping her teacup she takes a sip blinking over the rim at the tired gentleman's question. A slight smile warming her lips as she settles the cup between her palms warming the calloused skin there.

"I take it either the hair or headband gave me away," She jests with light hearted humor as she nods to the slightly dented, scuffed, but well cleaned Kumogakure headband tied to her upper left bicep. "My escort tells me red is a rather unusual color in Sunagakure no Sato, but I suppose I should be grateful it makes it easier to spot me amidst the crowds." The Kunoichi murmurs with a small shrug seeming unbothered by the fact though as the sun rose she'd have to fight back the long locks of her hair and see if she couldn't bind them back into a braid on her own without straightening them. That or risk overheating.

"I arrived roughly three days ago as part of diplomatic efforts." She confirms as she sets her tea down offering a hand in greeting should the man wish to take it. "I'm Azarea of Kumogakure."

"Your hair its no common in these lands, although the color is." Takato offered before taking one of the dried fruits into his mouth. The nation was unforgiving, the desert would claim the life of anyone that was unprepared or foolish, he had seen his fair share of death as blood would often water the sands. Once she claimed to be as part of the delegation from Kumogakure then all seemed to fall into place and a part of him felt glad that at long last the Raikage and her entourage had finally made it into his village to ratify the alliance.

"I'm Takato, pleased to meet you." He said as his name. Of all things he could imagine that the name my sound familiar to her, but he could be glad that his new acquaintance didn't know she was conversing with the Kazekage. "It is customary in the village to treat newcomers with hospitality, if they come with good intentions of course." He added as he would wave for the owner of the restaurant to bring her some of the same food that he was eating. "I shall be my treat to you." Takato said with a tired smile.

"Your guide, has he shown your around the village and its vicinity?" Takato inquired, wondering who had been ordered to show them around as well as provide a security detail. "I'm simply curious to know if they have made justice to the village." He explained as he tore another peace of the flat bread and spread more jam and butter on it before directing it into his mouth and setting his attention into this Azarea. "Come, eat, you surely are exhausted from your travel." He added.

Long Nights And Many Stars

Her smile is a little softer, a little sadder at the mention of the color. "Suna produces some of the most beautiful red dyes from what I have seen," She murmurs, for how else can they match the vibrancy of bright fresh blood on hot sand? She'd had more than one merchant ask her to pause and compare their dyed cloth with the color of her hair. She'd even bought from a few of them impressed with the clever tactic and their pride in their handiwork.

The man's name however strikes a chord within her memory, but without further introduction she has no way of knowing if the man was who she thought he was or if the name was simply a more common one among the shinobi here. Girls on Hi no Kuni were often named for flowers and both boys and girls in Kaminari tended to be named for storms, light, and rough spring rains. "It's a pleasure to meet you Takato-san. Thank you for your hospitality. I haven't had the chance to try many of Suna's traditional cuisines yet beyond the fruit." She murmurs with a polite, but thankful dip of her head as the plate is set before her. The woman's gaze flicking over the food, then briefly over Takato's own plate as she recalls how he had combined the items before mimicking the man. Truthfully she'd been a bit wary of attempting to dive into the villages choices of food without guidance having heard horror stories of the overconfident and unwary travelers getting a taste of humility when it came to making demands of Suna in regards to their food.

Trying a bite she finds the combination sweet and mild, a soft happy hum rising from the Kumo-nin's throat and echoing unheard through her hive. "It is good," She murmurs her gaze briefly glancing over the man's proud, but tired expression as he inquires of her time in the village thus far. "Long night?" The inquiry empathetic and soft slips from her lips before she can think better of it, but she does not find herself regretting the question.

"And Zakku-san has been an excellent guide. He's thus far shown me my accommodations, the civilian and market districts, and the training grounds. I'm hoping to have the chance to visit a few of the museums however, between missions." She admits hoping to ease any tension caused by her own somewhat awkward question with her answers.

"Though I admit the biggest attraction to me has to be Suna's night sky. A suna-nin, Arashi-san, that I played host to in Kumogakure made mention of it and I'll admit it's been a goal of mine to see it ever since. I have to say it certainly lives up to it's reputation." Azarea explains her expression wistful and a hint of awe still sparking in those scarlet eyes at the memory of the night sky laid out like a tapestry above her filled with endless soft velveteen darkness and thousand of stars like twinkling beetles in the sky.
