Abathor
D-rank
Abathor ate, and drank very slowly. He often cast a look at a much younger girl that his old ass as if admiring her in a small way. Throughout this though, she kept silent waiting for this man to talk. It was a common practice for the younger generation to offer a gift of some sort when they wished for a favor, or find out information on another organization. In her case, she offered the man a drink and a meal. It was a small gesture, but it should she was willing to pay for whatever she wanted.
Finally, he wiped his mouth and looked at her again. "It is not often I get children buying me drinks. So I can only assume you are smarter, or more connected then most children your age." He looked at her raising an eye brow. The girl smiled and thought about her answer. "Both." She finally said. "Smarter, because I know what to look for, more connected because I have met and spoken with plenty of criminals. Or, at lease I know enough to know you are a shinobi."
Abathor suddenly got real stiff and real quiet. At what seemed to be an eternity, he put his hands in his lap. "Young one, I must know, how do you know this? I am a genin but I have done only one mission in my life." She let out a friendly giggle. "oh it is nice to meet some one who will humor me. But, I know you because I was the little girl who saw you sell out shinobi out to my father. Don't worry, I won't sell you out so easily. Though, unless you give me what I want, I might just sell you out to him and see if He will give me what I want. "
There was another long momentary pause. "You know how to play our game then? Then I am sure you will go and backstab us regardless of what I do?" he asked as if half interested. The little girl shook her head and pointed at his drink. "I bought this as a symbol of my honesty. Now, if you were listening," she said rather harshly. "I said if you didn't give me what I wanted, I would sell you down the river."
This got the mans interest long enough for him to pour himself another drink. "And, what sort of information may you be looking for. For I, I am nothing more then a lonely genin. What sort of information could a person like yourself not know that I would hmm?" Now many here would have been polite. "You can stick that garbage up your ass. I know you better then that. You know things that even God would be surprised about." this drew a chuckle from the elderly abathor. He nodded none the less.
"Aye, I might know something like that. but I must ask again, what is it you wish to know?" The little girl looked at him for a long time ignoring his God complex that this conversation seemed to have made. "I want you to train me." She said this while he was drinking. Anything this man had in his mouth sputtered out. He looked at her, then across the pub that seemed to have turn to his direction. Thinking quick, he bent lower toward her.
"You seek training? Why from me?" He asked quietly now, trying to suck in anything she said. "Aye, I seek for what must be found and I need a ninja to train me." He sat back in his seat and shook his head. "I’m too old.” A flashy smile came to the little girl’s lips. She took a cup and grabbed the drink she had bought for him and poured herself some. Brining it up to her lips, she said "you forget. I am a crafty one. I will complete any task I set before myself." with that, she would drain the cup and sit it back down on the table.
He looked at her clearly unsatisfied with her answer. "I suppose you are" he said to her his voice going quiet once more. "Though I guess it couldn't hurt to tell you what you would like to know. If at lease to keep my own neck safe. The best way to learn is to show you combat. Let me see if we can find someone for me to fight. It can not be that hard. Abathor knows many people to fight but he does not know many young ones. He thinks he can get Hina to fight him but he is not sure.
"Surly you have some idea of where a sparring partner is?" He nodded and thought about it for a second. He does not know where Hina lives but he knows where they met last. So he goes there and looks. He will look like a old man with a little girl trailing behind him. “Hina” he calls out every so often to people on guard duty. None of them respond and he is left feeling like a fool. He cannot be a teacher to this little girl unless he can find Hina and fight her right here and right this very minute.
