Satoshi smiled warmly as Lin accepted Syn's gift with gratitude. The scalpel he'd given her seemed to be a tool that she was in need of and would carry with it the warmth of the days memory. He had been wrong about the small gift. It had been rather impactful.

Further, Syn addressed the gift that he had offered Satoshi. The one that he had politely refused. Instead, he chose to offer a more potent and future gift. He offered to tutor him in Fuuinjutsu. Satoshi knew very little about the art of seals. They were hardly covered in academy and he'd not met a ninja who'd used them in his presence outside of Syn. He had used them to store and summon forth his puppets.

While Satoshi had no designs on using puppetry or hiding behind clones, he could sense that this skill could potentially become invaluable. His grin widened and he nodded once to Syn.

"I'll be sure to come and find you then Syn-Senpai. I look forward to learning about it from you." His words carried with them the harmony of sincerity. The music of his voice was a song of gratitude and interest. It was perhaps, if you could believe it, more chipper than usual.

"Ride the clouds?" Satoshi chirped in curiousity as Syn suggested such a romantic sounding thing. He absent-minded lay pointed in the direction of he and Kozue-Obaachan's home.

A few moments and seals later and a dragon erupted out of the earth behind them. Satoshi jumped and stumbled forward in surprise before he began to clap in delight. As the stranger construct curled around them he leapt atop it eagerly. Syn had been the first to mount up, but not for lack of trying on Satoshi's part.

He laughed joyfully. The sort of sound that came from a clear heart and an empty head. The simple love of life that was brewed within the soul of one who hadn't acknowledged the darkness of the world just outside his doorstep. Of course, if you asked Satoshi, he'd tell you that the darkness would never encroach on him. He'd claim that he'd light the whole world up, so that everyone can laugh as mirthfully as he! In smaller, dumber words, obviously.

"A good way to end the night, Riding the clouds home." She nodded to herself and smiled to Syn. She climbed atop the dragon, making the hand-signs for her last jutsu of the night, Another healing bolts. She shot the three bolts at the three gashes left by the claws of the puppet in Toshi's shoulder. She knew that it would hurt his head until the morning, but at least he wouldn't be susceptable to infection. Giggling, she gripped the horns of the dragon and rose above the clouds, gasping and twirling in the night sky.

She pointed to her house as soon as they were over it and thanked Syn for the night. It was a good one, and she hoped that their friendship would last for a long time afterwards.

A new beginning had come for all three of them. A seed of friendship had been sown, one which would bring forth branches of comradeship and leadership. A relationship that would soon serve as one of the pillars that would hold the village hidden in the clouds in the nearest future. A day that would be unforgettable by each one of them.
Syn smirked as both Lin and Satoshi mounted the dragon. Lin grabbed the horns of the wooden dragon with courage while nothing but awe and hapiness was all that was registered on Satoshi's face. The young boy knew only little of what the world outside entails and only sigh inside of himself. He would take it upon himself to giv two the best of his experiences so that they would be able to fare properly whenever they did get out to the world outside the village gates.

Merrily, Syn flew the dragon according to the directions they gave to him as he jerked the animal front and back at intervals. Lin was the first to highlight from the animal as Syn lowered it close to her gate once she had pointed it out. Satoshi too was soon dropped off at his home and Syn was left alone to ride home. The jounin felt the difference in the atmosphere once his two companions had left. It was the same feeling of duty that he had always felt but with these two as companions, he knew that there was more to explore. Much more ..to explore.
