While not unusual to see him wandering the area; it could be considered odd for him to be out of the office in the middle of the day, and still be in the village proper. Not escaping exactly, more a habit that had translated well into his job. It always looked good when a new leader showed respect for the heros of old; and that was certainly something Kenta did. While there wasn't a name upon the monument he had ever known; his parents had made it clear that they did not want to have their names carved upon it when they died; that did not stop him from honoring those who where.
He'd made a habit of visiting once a week if possible; usually with his children in tow, and always with a cloth and a small chisel-pick he could use to clean dirt and plant matter out of the carvings. Today was no different; his Hokage hat worn as a sun block over a more normal uniform for him; loose-fitting tan shorts, a sleeveless white shirt with the village symbol emblazened in blue upon the chest, headband tied to his arm as usual. Strange appearence, with the hat, but classic Kenta.
His attention was drawn, not fully noticing the young girl sitting nearby as he approached the momument. The scratchscratch of her writing tool registered, even the unconscious mental imprint of her sitting there; but his higher functioning mind, his conscious, active thoughs; those where focused solely on his work for the moment. Claws and pick worked, cleaning the cravings and names until they where like new; a little water spat across the stone all he needed to polish it to a shine. Like new, all over again. A good thirty minutes of work; he'd sent a team of Genin and Chuunin not a week ago to service the area; landscaping, stone maintenence, all that jazz.
Stepping back finally, he seemed to snap from a trance in a way; looking around like he was seeing the area for the first time. Seeing Chinmoku drawing, he backed away so that he wasn't blocking her line of site anymore. If he even had been, anyway. "Didn't see you, my apologies."
