Two in the A.M had never been an ideal time for a walk, but a certain dark-haired ninja had a lot on his mind that was keeping him awake. The streets of Konohagakure were dimly lit by road-side lamp posts, illuminating his walk through the mostly empty roads. Every so often he'd see a couple walk by or a drunk stumble his way from one bar to the next, but whatever verbal exchange between them was kept either short or nonexistent. There was no destination that he headed for, he was simply wandering around. Eventually his aimless walking had lead him to the Konohagakure Graveyard, a place he had never actually visited before. He had no reason to, after all.
He didn't know anybody that had been buried there, it was just another location. Takao had no reason for walking through the graveyard, and yet there he was. He passed by dozens of tombstones, giving one of them a quick glance every so often as he passed. "This place is a lot more depressing than I thought." he said, quickly dismissing his thoughts with a sigh as he stretched his arms and continued onwards. A yawn escaped his lips as he walked. It wasn't his intention to be out all night, but it seemed the short walk had already began to tire him out. "Maybe I'll head back early 'er somethin'.." he said, using a tone that was clearly only intended for himself. He kept on walking forwards though, eventually breaking out into a fit of rather monotone chuckles.
"Talkin' to myself now? That's new." It wasn't a habit often practiced by Takao, but it had been becoming more frequent with each day that passed. He wasn't crazy though, it was only ever short comments that he said. Takao wasn't maintaining entire conversations with himself, that would make him look like a crazy person. Besides, who was out at this time? Especially in a grave yard?
