Verdandi
D-rank
Verdandi just recently arrived in the lands of suna. Needless to say, the weather conditions were far from helpful to the ice princess. She could feel how the heat was affecting her. However, Verdandi was no stranger to the lands that gave away heat of this kind. Her training with aunt Aya but especially her training with her old man Deacon already contemplated situations like this. While her Clan was particularity weak against the sun, an easy solution had been found. Under the cost of a good amount of chakra that was passively maintained within the Yuki's body. The Hyouton chakra would turn itself to simple usage. Every Yuki knew how this worked, especially once studied and trained a little. Basically, Verd would layer herself with a keen little ice skin above her own. It wasn't visible and didn't affect her at all. While the ice would serve as a means to help preventing sunburns or negative heat effects, the Yuki's body itself would tap into the Hyouton chakra to cool its base temperature back down to their comfortable levels.
Being separated form her Squad for now. Verd was enjoying some off-time and found herself a little oasis within the desert, near the camps. It wasn't much and probably served for the most part as a means to let the camels from the caravans stack up on their water reserves. As well for the humans too of course. Due to the current state of Suna, this area was yet completely forgotten by any locals. The nearest human activity would be a multitude of camps that were set-up. Each nation had brought their very own cavalry into this place and Verd wasn't a fan of spending hours in a dry tent counting the droplets of water that her Hyouton skin could produce. Finding a place like this, secluded and seemingly without anyone around to disturb her. Verd would celebrate her luck once more. She had carefully gathered the intel around the place and was certain it'd be towards no one's importance in particular. Each camp had their own wells or even technological means to provide water. No one would bother her out here.
Avalanche had joined her. The snow bear was adjusting quite well to the heat. Curiously enough, his snow-white fur was starting to turn somewhat brown and dirty. The furball was getting quite heavy. Verd had attempted to ride her beast and he could actually transport her for a few. Mostly yet, due to the fact that Verdandi was incredibly lithe in her stature and that Avalanche would crawl on slower than she could run on her own. It was for certain not a perfect means of transport just yet. But well, by the amount of meat he was consuming lately his growth certainly didn't stop any moment soon.
Avalanche didn't hesitate to jump into the water, getting some dust out of his fur was a beautiful concept of refreshing the bear. Verd would make sure to keep her radio close in case of getting unexpected company. Placing her clothes neatly set together in a pile and keeping it covered in her Hyouton chakra to simply keep it free off dust. For a moment there, Verd would shut off her body protection and inner cooling. As she'd step into the water of the oasis nakedly. The liquid itself was cold enough thanks to the shadows provided by the nearby hills and trees.
Verd would slowly swim around the pond. Watch the many creatures that naturally found their home within the oasis. Allowing Verdandi once more the insight that life was able to sprout everywhere, even if the lands of desert, if just a few ingredients for life were present. She would move on to scrub her palms through Avalanche's fur whom seemed heavily relaxed by such a thing. Brushing her palms through his fur to help remove the dirt and sand. His somewhat discoloured fur however seemed to linger. Making Verd wonder a bit how the bear had naturally adjusted himself to the environment like this.
Hours would pass and Verd would float and swim through the pond. She knew she would have to return to her own camp at some point. Within the coming days the missions would begin and things would start to become difficult and require a lot of energy and power. But the princess wouldn't want to burden herself with too many worries just yet. She knew that her superiors were taking proper care of the place and plan ahead wisely.
With all those fine thoughts in mind. Verd would watch Avalanche slowly doze off against the counters of the oasis. Most of his body still neatly submerged in the cool water. His snout extended forth to allow him easy breathing. However. Verd's ears were not easily fooled. She could hear footsteps. Enclosing. Not the kind that were approaching for a sneak attack. Maybe a random guard? Uncaring of her appearance, Verd would slowly move herself towards her items. Quickly picking up her radio and first and for all, sliding her Hyouton tuned blade from it's sheath. If anyone really dared to try and oppose her in her weakened situation, she would yet prove to be a much tougher nut than an easy prey by just now.
