Yes, a park. It was definitely not the kind of place where you would see a shinobi training as it was after all quite dangerous knowing that kids were usually the ones to show up with their parents in large green areas such as parks. That was exactly why even if he was a shinobi, Ryu was not there for training, just for resting. He did deserve it after all, balance was key to success in the shinobi world (after determination and many other obvious factors of course; which meant it wasn't the key to success). Nevertheless, he still chose to go there just for the sake of resting and breathing some fresh air in this weather that was unusually cold for a day of mid-April, even for a village like Kirigakure no Sato. But the cold was nothing really dangerous for him, he did carry the Aisu bloodline through his genes and was extremely comfortable in cold environments like the one he was located in today. In fact, one could even say that he was "in his element"; literally.

But resting in a park, even if it was refreshing and relaxing, was quite boring too, and there was no point in doing something just for the sake of it. Obviously, he couldn't train as it was against the rules of relaxation but he could still do something useful, like talking to someone for example. He was not too shy about being the first one engaging in a conversation, but obviously it was always awkward to start conversing with a complete stranger. He wasn't completely used to social life as of yet even though he was a remarkably sociable individual, so he decided to just stay here, hoping things would get a little more spicy and that someone would eventually take the open spot on the bench beside him, or ask him what was the time, or something edgy and sketchy like that. And voilà, he thought to himself. No one came in the large window of thirty minutes or so, even though a ton of people younger, older, shorter, taller than him were already having fun talking and gossiping about their friend's new girlfriend, or about the growing tensions between neighboring villages or even with the Land of Water's daimyo. Pff, it was nothing to be worried about, someone would come rescue him from his boredom and loneliness, he was sure of it.
