"If you never ask, you'll never know."
His mother's words rang in his head as he looked upon a woman in the market square. He'd only just stopped walking, having been perusing the many vendors, stalls, and stores that lined the roads of the Market Square, the rounded center of the Market District. The place was rather busy, mostly because of several sales and price drops on items. This was the very reason behind his own being there, as his mother wanted him to grab a few things while he strolled about the village.
Yet it was this woman that stood out to him among the crowd, and for obvious reasons. She was the palest person Sujin had ever seen. Her skin was so white, it nearly lacked pigment. Compared to others around her, she seemed like a ghost, yet at the same time he could clearly see a white tablecloth behind her from some clothing vendor's table which provided a perfect background to compare her pale complexion with something truly white. He found it odd how the white tablecloth showed her skin to not be perfectly white, having some hint of darker tone, yet be so pale in comparison with others around her.
Before this moment, albino had just been a word. A descriptor of some rare creature that might as well be considered mythological. Yet now there was someone standing not but fifteen feet away from him that fit the descriptions of such a state. He had a strong, curious urge to talk to her, and find out more about her skin. Yet at the same time he noticed the headband wrapped around her left forearm as she moved.
Such a person would surely have made rounds among the gossipers of the village, yet Sujin hadn't heard a word about her. Either that meant she was much higher ranked than any of his friends (which was the most likely) or that she was recently returning kunoichi from some long journey or mission that had placed her name far out of people's minds and thus never a word would reach Sujin about such a person.
Time had spun faster than Sujin realized, but no matter how long he had stopped and stared, he finally mustered the courage to talk to the kunoichi. And no sooner had he started walking towards her had a little boy dropped his newest toy bought by his mother. The toy dropped just in front of Sujin's right foot as he stepped forward. The sudden yet small elevation change was enough to throw his balance out of whack. Lost in his brief moment of wonder, his brain hadn't caught up to the drastic problem arising from his foot. With no grace at all, Sujin fell forward onto the road, his face slapping into a puddle that sprayed up and wet his hair, as well as the little boy who had dropped the toy.
Definitely not his best day.
