- Uchiu NPC:
- Uchiu Mugetsu
Maigo sat there at the table in the shop, his hands cupped around a cup of tea, steam floating up towards his face as he stared at his reflection in the mirror of the liquid. The tea had two straws in it, each of them floating on their side, as he waited there. A girl he had met on a mission and in a few other places, Uchiu had told him to show up there for lunch the day before. Well, to be more exact, had sent a letter to his house, left to his parents where she had something to talk to him about.
Yesterday, Maigo walked into his house rather late from some training, had spent the night actually at the docks watching the sunset and ended up waking up late. When arrived back home, both his mother and father, the ones he grew up with and considered his family were at the table and waiting for him. His mother stared at he drink while his father stared at the letter in front of him, it wasn't like his dad to stay behind and not go to work. He spoke to him, told him to listen to his mother and that there was something important he had to share with Maigo, but that he had to leave. That was of course, after Maigo gave a long winded explanation of where he was last night and the rest of the things. Then, his father left to go on his mission and continue on, to which Maigo sat down with his mother and began to listen as he drank some coffee of his own.
Though his mother was no real help, she only had to say that she was his sister, his birth sister. And that she had to talk to him, desperately for some reason and left a letter for Maigo to meet her at a tea house to talk. His mother asked if she would like her to go along with him, he was always a mamas boy at heart and she knew that. She was always so kind to him, but he declined as he learned a little bit of truth to his story, he wanted to be alone. Besides, the Mugetsu part of him had refused to really tell him anything of his past, outside that he was adopted left on their doorstep in need. But that was all they would say, and it infuriated him so.
Now, Maigo sat in a tea shop, a few other people around, the shop with heavy tones of brown and darker colors. The aroma of the tea was heavy in the air and the shop itself was made of wood almost completely. He had already been sitting and waiting for nearly 30 minutes, a plate of dumplings also sat in front of him with his tea but his stomach was in such a knot he couldn't hardly bare to eat or even think of it. As he sat there a girl entered, red hair barely hung out from her hood as she walked in and looked around, her face and eyes could hardly be seen. Then with a quick motion she scurried over and sat down at the table with Maigo, no greeting or anything to start of their meeting and instead, took of her hood.
When she did so, bruises and minor cuts were immediately obvious, nothing swollen but it was obvious she had been in a fight and very recently. Maigo leaned forward to get a closer look, worry over his face as he looked over his sister's beaten face, he could only imagine how she was feeling and he had a strong feeling that their conversation might have something to do with this.
