Ahh, Chunin exams. It had been a long time since her own, a long time since she had observed any of them, or even been around any of them. It would be interesting to see who turned up. Interesting to see if anyone from home came. If anyone from home decided to start anything. 

Still, until that time, she was wandering around Byakuya, trying to see what she could get up to, and who she could get up to it with. She was going to do her best to be a delightful welcoming host to the people who were coming. With or without their murder attempts.

[Suikazura]

    Suikazura would shiver quite a bit, she had come here dressed the part; heavy coat, boots, pants on pants on shorts, gloves that ran up snugly on her jacket sleeves, a scarf that covered her face. The cold not something she was particularly used to, and something she felt would never be something she could get used to. She would be glad to finish the exams and leave that was for certain. For now though she was wondering, exploring this frigid land and its attractions. She had been told there were tourist attractions here after all. She would breath hot air into her gloves as they began to get a bit rigid and she would move forward. Not exactly watching for anything or anyone in specific.
    Her weapons would be left in her seals, and further hidden by her numerous layers of clothes. As she wandered seemingly lost for where to go.

Running into a shivering Genin, Raimaa gave a soft grin. She was reminded of the first time she appeared in Yukigakure. Kusa-winter clothes and a lovely little dress did not do anything for a show of competence, stood shivering her ass off. If her hijutsu's overuse hadn't caused her to be naturally hotter than normal, she would have been absolutely screwed rather than just kinda screwed.

"The secret to staying warm is to not be outside in the first place, dear" Raimaa exclaimed, walking up to her and smiling. Young Genin probably didn't know Raimaa these days. Static World fame only really extended to those who were of the era you were famous in, after all. "Come on, there's a nice cafe nearby we can duck into" Raimaa would gesture with her head to a anearby shop. Dressed much lighter than the Genin was, she was wearing a pair of snow shoes to make walking easier, given her lack of chakra these days...

[Suikazura]

    This was her second meeting since leaving the boat, but one that immediately made the girl jump before she relaxed. The woman before her seemed nice, but Suikazura had not seen her approach and for that alone, she had found herself on edge for a moment. Looking the woman over, she didn't seem immediately like a civilian, and her ability to suddenly appear in front of the girl was terrifying enough to make her agree.
    On her face no panic would show, instead just surprise over the woman's appearance before a nod, "I suppose that would be true. Are you here to greet the incoming genin then Oba-San?" Suikazura would ask now looking the woman over. Confused by her, for more reason than one, but her curiosity out-weighed that minimal level survival instinct. She was not in danger, dying before the exams would be a cause for war. She was safest here at this exact moment than after the exams would start.

Suddenly, she froze and stared. Stareeeeeeeeeee went on for a few seconds before her face turned inside out and she set a most heinous glare.
"Oba?! What do I look like, a fucking grandma? I'll still senpai, you shit!" she exclaimed, kicking snow at the kid in a playful manner. Hopefully she didn't get too freaked out and run away. That would suck.

"Now come on. Senpai will help you warm up with a nice light meal"

[Suikazura]

    Sui would take on a blank look, processing the changes in mood that happened rather quickly. This woman seemed to have an age admittance issue, that was fine. Suikazura could feed her ego a little bit, which would likely lead to something useful she could help. The snow would be avoided, mostly, but what did hit Suikazura would roll off shortly.
    "Hai! Thank you, Senpai!" Suikazura would say with enthusiasm. Not even stopping to argue, little less show fear to the woman's minor outburst. Her father was a much scarier man than Raimaa could have attempted to be for the brief moment she snapped on Suika.

"Excellent~" Raimaa exclaimed walking into the resturant. There, was Boss. She had got a letter he was in the area, touring the world to master his art after Raimaa's stay had filled him with a new passion for adventure and culinary delight.

"Hey! Give us some food!" She exclaimed, walking in with a laugh. And then catching the ladle that was launched at her.
"That is the least helpful, woman!" he shouted back, ordering some waiter to attend them and get his ladle back.
"SO, what'cha feeling, kiddo?" Raimaa asked, looking to her new friend.

[Suikazura]

    Suikazura was immediately drawn to the interaction, someone she knew well? It didn't matter really, but she wouldn't leave her host to wait long. More than a foot and a half of height difference between them. She would just reply earnestly for now, "Oh, anything will work fine. If I can, I would actually prefer just something to drink. A warm tea perhaps?"
    She would ponder to the accuracy and ease the woman had caught the ladle before and think to herself. It was like she had seen it moving well ahead of it being thrown, it was intriguing for the small girl. That much was absolute.

Raimaa span the ladel around in one hand, holding it out clenched between two fingers for the waiter to take. And then when the girl's order was relayed back to the man behind the counter, there was an explosion again. Though fortunately nothing was thrown this time.
"Does this look like a tea shop?! Buy some food, god dam it! Who comes to an establishment like this to drink tea?!" he shouted, making Raimaa giggle.

"You've riled the beast, darling. If you really want a cup of tea, I suggest this" she'd point to some dumplings and rice served in a bowl of tea, to best sooth both of them.

[Suikazura]

    Suikazura would be met with a level of yelling that she only ever got from her father, but the anger was at her food decisions, something she could bear, even if it was only due to the surprise to being yelled at as she had. She had been entirely unprepared for that, and Raimaa would explain her mistake. Suikazura would nod and look over at the dish as it was presented. It looked appetizing, but Suika was not a heavy eater and most days ate a single meal for a long time, food had a tendency to not hold up well with her unless it was very light as it was.
    "Hmmm... I suppose that will do yes. Sorry, Tenshu-Sama! I'll have that instead." Suikazura would reply with a smile practiced from years of customer service, heartwarmingly gentle.

Raimaa ordered a Special Foo Young and beef-fried rice and some mini vegetable spring rolls for her light afternoon snack, and then sat back and grinned at the old-fashioned youngling.
"Boss prefers Oyabun if you are going to be giving titles like that. Though, while we are waiting for the food, why don't you tell me a bit about yourself? I'm Raimaa Futago, from Yukigakure" she'd hold out her hand across the table to shake the Genin's own and hopefully get an introduction.

[Suikazura]

    Suikazura would simply manage a nod and look back at the older woman. She was still intrigued, but she seemed... unsafe. Suikazura decided she would approach the rest of the conversation with some level of caution. The woman had already made it known she was a bit of a loose cannon, so this was just another bomb waiting to happen. Caution, of course, she was felt, was needed in times like these. Hopefully this woman would understand that. Hopefully.
    "Hana Suikazura. Iwagakure Genin, and participant in the upcoming chunin exams. It is nice to meet you formally Senpai." Suika would reply to the older woman in kind shaking the hand before her, still fully covered, less so now due to the cold, but she seemed scrawny enough, it wasn't hard to assume she was simply cold to stay covered as she did.

Leaning back after the woman introduced herself, Raimaa bit her lip in a playfully sultry fashion and then turned her glowing eyes back to the Genin. Iwagakure was always interesting, and maybe she could hit the woman up about it.
"You ever saw a woman about that village? About my age, stunning red hair, has a Nohime daughter?" Raimaa asked. Natsuki was still on her mind after all this time, and hopefully she'd get in to see her one of these days, but that....that was doubtful. She'd have to deal with it here and now.

[Suikazura]

    "Hmmm? My Sensei is a Nohime, but she has orange hair... And I don't think my Sensei is married." Suikazura would state in a manner. Seeming to avoid any semblance of realization to the nature of the woman's expression. Obliviousness at its finest, but the instant response was worth noting as not a lie. The girl seemed to dumb-founded at the question to really get a understanding on the matter.

"No, her mother has the red hair, not her" She'd then think for a moment, leaing back. "What's the age of your sensei? She'd be about...ohh, sixteen and that was some....nineteen now. Name totally escapes me though. And she, ahh...bloody. Daughter of the guy who used to run Iwa that everyone hated because he was kind of a nutjob"

Raimaa would ramble on a bit about the half-remembered name and nature of this daughter she was trying to remember.
