Birds of a Feather




Over the coming days during Sozin's escort Azarea and the Councilman could not help, but gradually get to know one another. And in getting to know one another came the embarrassment of being known and noticing certain things about one another. One of the things that would become gradually obvious to the Kusa shinobi about his guard was the fact that Azarea had an uncanny knack of attracting bird. Mostly ravens and crows, but the array of the flock that tended to follow the pair at a distance was not merely limited to their numbers. The avian's becoming especially apparent every time they stopped for food on the street. During which his escort's feathery friends seemed to descend down upon her like a dark downy blanket alighting on nearly every available surface including Azarea, though not Sozin himself, and make themselves appear as pathetic and adorable as possible in hopes of sharing in the woman's purchases. More often then not they succeeded with Azarea routinely plucking bits of whatever she was eating off to hand feed the corvids before the birds would take to the skies once more. Odder still while the man had seen many clan members followed by similar flocks no one appeared to comment in regards to the red head being routinely swarmed which meant this was a normal and long standing occurrence enough to no longer be of note.

No truly the oddest thing of all was the fact that this avian attraction capabilities of Azarea's did not appear to be strictly limited to just birds, but the bird using clan itself. If the fact the pair had been being trailed for the past hour on their way through the market towards the training grounds by one dark haired Kyuumu was anything to go by. The slight knowing smile to Azarea's lips as the woman gamely pretended to be unaware of their tagalong telling in that the young man must be a friend or associates of hers. Though sadly the Kumo Kunoichi was unaware that Sozin's aura was likely causing an heightened emotional effect for Takame as it did for her or else perhaps Azarea would have warned the corvid user away.

Sozin was getting much better at hiding himself, in truth, when it came to Azarea. The constant exposure to displeasure; to things about him that he was finding hard to face, the discomfort was a period of growth as well. Discomfort was good when it was not all consuming. But that being said, being surrounded by crows, by birds, unnerved him. Did you know, a group of crows was called a murder?

Now, it was perhaps divine purpose, or karmic retribution, but he felt that all of the souls of those he'd helped pass into the afterlife were in the souls of the 'murder' and they were staring him out, what with their black eyes... and... eh. But then Azarea had helped explain (since he had very quickly noticed, commented, and questioned her on it) that these were familiars: of the Kyuumu clan.

It didn't mean that he had to like it though. Sozin had always had an aversion to pets, familiars, summons, clones: and thought that to use them in combat was to deny one's own skill. It was a tool for the weak that they could not rely upon themselves. But that was a thought he rarely verbalised. "Come out," Sozin would say, having had enough of the presence of the Shinobi who failed to keep their presence unknown. He, who had been tailed by ANBU without an idea for so long - this was child's play.

The birds and the boy were quickly weaning on his patience, and Azarea could see that.

Why was he doing this? He had vowed to only be around her when she was training him and not when the birds flocked to her. Something was pulling him closer to her. A yearning sensation inside him to get closer and learn more, but his mind kept pulling him back. So it almost became a game of stalk and watch sometimes even using the birds to keep an eye on the firey-headed woman. It was certainly a weird habit the poor boy had developed, but from what he could tell Azarea had never questioned him about it since the headbutt incident or at the least never said anything to him.

Though today was a bit different as there was another individual in the equation of his espionage. Some man with brown hair was with her gave Takame a combination of a sinking feeling and a sense of rage. Nothing to act upon just yet, but the feeling was certainly bubbling inside of him. At first, the two were simply walking with the birds occasionally asking for food and everything seemed rather normal which was good, but Takame couldn't help but feel there was something bad about this man and while he probably couldn't do anything about it his feeling about him just seemed so right.

It wouldn't be long though before he was caught as the man would announce him reveal himself which Takame didn't. Why would he show himself even if the man knew of his presence? That was just asking to be attacked and even worse be touched by a disgusting foreigner. Besides it wasn't like had a reason to show himself so why do it? Takame would stay hidden longer as he felt it was the safer option for him at this moment.

Shoo!




Feeling the councilman's ire Azarea sighed as she bit into her kebabe and gave herself a good shake, "Ok shoo! Shoo you lovable pests! You've had your fill!" She mutters at the crows managing to get rid of a decent handful of them, but a few simply landed on or around her once more laughing in the way the birds were prone to at the young womans antics minding the Kumo nin about as well as unruly children. As Azarea let out a sigh.

"My apologies Sozin-san. They've probably been wondering where I've been the past few days and grown curious." Azarea explains though it's clear her words aren't just in regards to the crows as her scarlet eyes dart toward her kohai's direction. "Please forgive my friend here." She requests a fond smirk warming her lips, "He's a little shy of strangers." She adds already guessing the amount of prideful indignation her words would likely cause in the Kyuumu. Though she wasn't wrong.

They were attached to Azarea. Sozin was less enthused by the prospect of them hanging around - since they had been alone enough yesterday and he hadn't known what had changed. But, there was reason to it. But - Azarea seemed to know who it was, and it would prevent Sozin from drawing a weapon... not that he actually had anything useful beyond a single kunai... Sozin's eyes would flick to Azarea's pointed glance to the actual position of interest. He would cross his arms to begin with.

Perhaps Sozin's lack of reply would be the first indication of disapproval.

Sozin would peacefully walk toward the pot and plant that they had hidden themselves behind, and pulled it by the stem and out of the way. It had been slow, so if they wanted to amend their choice of silence into announcing themselves, that was the best time to do it. For what it had been worth, it was a dense foliage and was not a poor place of choice.

But either way, he would come face to face with the black eyed boy, and Sozin's eyes would flare open with curiosity and surprise. He had not seen eyes like that in a while. Not that this was one and the same: but the way it was all encompassing. He half wished he had eyes like that himself...

"Hello, you."

Takame would begin to ponder what was fully going on here even after they would notice his position as he hoped, by not showing himself would mean, they would give up on their interest in him. So he wouldn't register at first the man would walk up to him. "Guess there wasn't a point in hiding was there?" Takame would say grumpily as his spot was revealed by the man pulling the plant from his hiding place.

Standing up he would brush off any dirt that fell on his clothing before adding, "Not very nice to the local shrubbery now are you?" A little bit of snark in his voice would show his disdain for the man even if it was unneeded, but that was just how Takame was at times. Takame's eyes would dart towards Azarea with a slight glare and would practically ask the both of them, "What is going on here?" Sure he may have tried to tail them to find out what was going on, but he had failed anyways so why not be direct about it?

Not that Takame should have known what was going on between the two of them since he was just a measly genin in comparison to the two of them. It wasn't like he could do anything about the two of them if they were doing anything he needed to react to. Azarea was his senior when it came to genjutsu and this mysterious man most likely had a world of expertise Takame didn't have. So it wasn't like prodding them or attacking them for information would give any results anyways which just meant asking was his only option left.

Introductions




Azarea smiled at the sight of her lovably grumpy training partner. The young woman offering Takame a wave as he straightened and dusted the dirt off before she ambles over to join the Councilor after managing to shoo off the last of the few birds still clinging to her and chattering. "Afternoon Takame," The Kunoichi greets reaching out to flick a bit of foliage off the Kyuumu's shoulder.

"Might I introduce Councilor Sozin of Kusagakure no Sato, Councilor Sozin this is Kyuumu Takame heir to one of the esteemed branches of the Kyuumu clan." She makes the proper introductions between the two of them lest she get a frown from her Auntie later for being less then properly diplomatic.

"I've been assigned as one of his escorts about the village to introduce him to Kumo culture and show him the sights." Azarea adds as way of explanation for why she'd been gone for the past few days instead of showing up at her usual time on the training grounds to be stalked run into by Takame.

"It would have been if you were better at it." Sozin would come across as humorous to Azarea, and perhaps crass to Suzaku. If they'd tried harder - or been better at it then maybe Sozin wouldn't have noticed their presence? "Are you a useless piece of foiliage?" Sozin would turn it back around on the crow man, responding almost immediately to their comment.

Still, he didn't have to be on his best and perfect behaviour in front of Azarea, even if there were other things to attend to. Sozin would let Azarea answer for them, and it was helpful to have her assert why he was there. Nodding - "It's been fantastic. Although, I wish I could have seen more, but work always tends to call." He would have said to the two of them. While Azarea had been his main escort throughout the village, there had been times when there was actual work to be done, and that was something that she had not accompanied him for: she was still a Genin - and he was a Councillor. A slight difference.

But, outside of that she had been helping him to and from places - and this had been one of those days that had given him opportunity to see more outside of the administrative buildings... if only the views hadn't been obscured by crows. "And you must be from the Crow... clan?" he gave a brief pause, wondering if they were a clan or a people or ... raven enthusiasts.

Takame would grumble at the man's retort about being better at hiding, but wouldn't stoke the flames about it. He was right after all if he was better at hiding he wouldn't have been spotted so it was on him for being found even if he didn't want to admit to it. Though the man would call Takame a piece of foliage to which Takame had to spit back, "If that's how you treat plantlife? Of course not! Now, are you going to replace the plant you just uprooted or are you going to at least fix the mess you just made?" It was a bit accusatory he had to admit, but if Azarea's comment about him being from another land it would probably be best if they at least were nice to the local flora and fauna even if it was caused by a local not being on the best behavior.

"At least that explains why you hadn't been showing up lately," Takame would say to Azarea slightly bitterly since she hadn't been training with him lately as he looked back at the man she was escorting. What did he have that Takame didn't? Well besides being taller than him of course. Was Takame not important enough as is to Azarea? He was an heir to a branch of a clan within the village shouldn't she be escorting him around the village? The man would then question if he was from the crow clan to which Takame would respond with, "Why are you asking?" He wouldn't say much about the clan for obvious reasons, but if the CROW took out this man he wouldn't mind him disappearing from the history books. Takame was more just worried about Azarea being a victim of proximity if he said anything too much in detail.
