Carefully kneeling down her back would arch over before drawing her arms away from her body, her intent to deposit the child beside the others only to halt feeling a tug on one of the longer rough cut bangs that framed her face. A smile would spread along her lips as she glanced at the hand that clung to the pastel lilac strands. She would shift to carefully move on of her hands only to notice the child had silently woke to simply watch her through big almond shaped brown orbs. Her lips would part to form a small 'o' shape as her brow creased seeing she had woke him even when trying not too. The child would simple shake his head lightly before clambering from her hold, planting both feet firmly on the ground only to kneel a touch to draw eye level with her before taking her face in his hands to squish her cheeks briefly. She would smile up at him before murmuring "Your growing so quickly" She would reach up to her his hands in her before indicating with her head for him to go lay down as her miss matched hues remained on him. With a small soundless sigh he would nod and shift to his hands and knees to crawl into place. As he made his way past she would lightly ruffle his hair murmuring "I'll be home soon." Standing she would move to the door waiting for him to settle before leaving and heading downstairs.
Glancing out of the window the sun still in the sky she would lightly shake her head lightly before dropping to her rump on the porch, facing the front door. She would lean down to tug her boots on pausing as she heard the fermillair scrape and miss matched steps. Her head would raise a touch as she spoke up "Elder Brother." The sound of him shifting to lean against the wall placing his staff in which he used as a walking aid against the wall with him would lift into the air before his voice could "Your going to meet your team mate?" She would slowly continue to slowly tug her right boot on as she nodded speaking up "Yes..." Once the boot were on she would turn to face the elder brother placing a hand onto the porch for support as she looked up at him as he spoke in return "The one who's space you invaded?" Cringing a little she would nod again slowly drawing her miss matched hues back to his hard moss green gaze "I figured it was only right to apologize and at least repay him for my mistake. After all I wouldn’t want to cause any awkward situations in the squad... I see that I over reacted and I have ruined my first impression but I at least need to know who I'm working with past their name and clan." He would give a simple nod indicating that she may continue waiting for her to turn away before speaking again "You will, if you remember your studies, find the Kanetsu clans compound in the Xiuhcoatl's Maw. Be safe." The sound of him shifting to step away would echo in her ears causing her head to dip down a touch and her miss matched hues to closed "Always."
Shaking the clouding thoughts from her head she would raise and step out from the house allowing her hands to quickly check that she had each pouch from the one strapped to each thigh to the one at the base of her back and the one below, such carrying Amai and Tatsu along with her Kuni and senbon, though her senbon lay scattered along her jacket and hair. As she strode through the village heading out to it's wilds her hand would snake up under her olive green shirt to the tight bindings around her chest only tightening it a touch more before picking her pase up once more. Her pase would only lessen as she pause feeling a wave of heat. She would for a time stand staring off at the volcano before her, slowly small beads of sweat would form to trickle down the crook of her back. Heat she often welcomed, though she did understand now what the head of the clan had spoke about before. A smile would crawl along her lips tugging the corners up as she continued, this time making her way around past the blanket of lava, making sure to be as respectful of the element and as careful as possible.
Reaching the other side of the volcano, still keeping cautious she would wipe her brow using her sleeve, such causing her fringe to ruffle before stepping closer. Reaching the door she would tug her sleeve over her hand before reaching to rasp her knuckles hard again the door to ensure she would be heard as she knocked loud and clear three times. Not sure of who would come to the door yet simply hoping it would be her teammate. As her hand lowered her composure would pull her features back to their seemingly default position of neutral only for her inside to scream as she realized she hadn't yet decided on what she were supposed to say or how she could go about apologizing. Another bead of sweat would trickle down the crook of her back causing her to bite down on the soft pale flesh of her bottom lip instantly discolouring it.
