Silence… something she had once been accustom to, yet not in the past few years of living at the orphanage. Her fingers would drum against the back of her other hand as she lay in the lush green grass, staring up at the sky. The silence of the moment bridging between serenity and uncomfortable edge. Even the sigh that left her lungs that caused her stomach to tense and untense as it flinched through the needle like pain from the wound of her ribs, seemed to echo out loudly within the silence surrounding the orphanage this day. Everything seemed… still. No breeze now to flitter through the trees and rustle the leaves of the bushes, nor rock the tree swing of the front garden, held up strong by the great tree whose root’s dug deep into the rock and soil, even showing within the house itself.
Her dull orbs would scan along the sky, a spluttered array of clouds yet nothing that could quite be considered as ominous in the means of a rainfall yet, like mother nature herself, the weather could be very unpredictable. Her fingers would drum against the back of her hand again before slowly reaching her arm upwards towards the sky, outstretching her fingers as though to touch it. Blinking a few times, she would give a light sigh before slowly and ever so carefully sitting up, lightly cursing actually having to be so careful. Recovering were taking longer than she were used to, yet a wound to the ribs had been deep and she had attempted to bind her chest down as usual, a dumb move by all accounts, yet it was nearly fully healed. Closing her eye’s, she would take a breath as mumbled words began to pass from her lips, giving some solace from the silence, “Dominus Jashin…” Her miss matched hues would slowly open as she continued, “Ova tišina zvoni glasnije od toga pre bitke, pa čak i više od toga pauze nakon smrti, taj mali trenutak pre zvukova plače…” Her hand would shift to softly cup over the sore area that had been the wound as she continued, “Ovo je ... čudno, i po prvi put ... ne znam šta da radim sa sobom.” Tilting her head back, a soft breeze would pass by picking up and fluttering her long pastel lilac hair about over her shoulders.
Another sigh would exit her lips only to be born into the world corrupting the silence in the process, followed by the unearthly growl that made even her sit up fully again. Her miss matched orbs would begin their search about herself only to peer down at her stomach. Such an ungodly sound, giving a hit that midday was approaching. With just her around could she really justify cooking a meal? The others of the orphanage wouldn’t be returning until dusk at the very least and most if not, all would be far too sleepy to eat a full meal.
She would slowly heft herself up from the grass carefully dusting of her pale clothing, her hand still cupping at the sore patch of her ribs she would attach both Amai and Tatsu to their rightful places at her left thigh and the very base of her back, in their pale back up sheaths, wanting to, as much as possible go unnoticed as an ordinary civilian as she left the orphanage leaving behind her ninja tools, allowing her hands to flicker through a couple of signs before exiting the property. With her hair, down and her clothing light and loose fitting, quite different from her usual attire, looking very much like a female, she could with some form of ease go without being recognised. Her chakra would trickle into her miss matched orbs changing the only real things that would give her away in the village, her miss matched hues and the shade of her hair. Her intense red and striking yellow orbs would twist off to black and green as her hair paled to a snow white.
Even as she passed through the streets and into the oddly quiet market area she hadn’t yet decided fully what she was going to do, simply allowing her feet to wonder, apparently, they would take her far past the food stalls and shops towards the administration building, a simple habit she figured and she paused to turn back. She did in many ways miss going on missions and even training whilst she was healing up. So far the day had been eerie to say the least yet as she shifted to take a step away from the buzz of the administration building she felt a tug inside and with a softer sigh than she had been giving throughout the day passed her lips as she pondered on the last time she had given a riddle or even contemplated on a riddle with the Tsuchikage. Slipping off she would make her way around the back of the building far out of the sight of others before sending a steady flow of chakra to her feet and free hand beginning her treck up the wall of the building, starting off by her feet and hand before straightening off, only now whishing she had tied up her hair as he streamed behind her, lashing about in the breeze as she stepped higher. She would for a moment pause on the right level before squinting off to the roof, it would be at the very lease plausible for her to check there just in case before checking in at his office. Slipping her hand into her pocket she would advance until reaching the roof.
She would for a short time search out the roof even slipping off to the area where they had played their game of chess, pausing there for a moment as she thought on a riddle she could pose before stepping back down the side of the building. As she neared the Tsuchikages office window her movements would speed up as she pressed her form closer to the building, opting to use her hand again to attach to the wall before slowly removing her hand from her ribs to rasp her knuckles against the Tsuchiage’s office window before calling out, just loud enough that if he were there, he would hear, “Tsuchikage Sama, All things it devours, Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to dust, slays kings, ruins towns and beats high mountains down… what is it?" Her accent would clip lightly at her words as she spoke each word carefully and clearly before waiting for a response.
