Sitting in the pool of water Hozu starts flapping his feet splashing water everywhere Looking around hoping no one sees him. He Looks down at his Bandaged Body and just keeps his usual Black facial expression. as he flaps his legs he starts to move. His body starts getting propelled forward he starts swinging his right hand back in the for of a back stroke as he does so he Looks up at the sky Hoping to One day meet people who won't Judge him for his appearance. As he was swimming he thought about how to get stronger and a way to use his speed to a advantage.
Thinking in his head Hozu remembers one of his favorite quotes on his wall at home . "No Pain No Gain" As he remembers those words of empowerment he swims around the pool Looking Like he is a dead ninja. He has never gotten caught swimming in the pool because he is afraid people might attack him and never make him go back in because of his looks.

Night time was had become a time that a lot of shinobi had come to love. The darkness of it kept them hidden and on Shou's part he was glad to have the addition of the mist that always settled over Kirigakure around this time. He hadn't been to the pool for a few weeks, as he did have a tendency to avoid it at all costs in preference for the unpredictable waters of the coast. But, even so sometimes there were interesting things that happened at the pool. The last time being an interesting interaction with a shinobi from Kumogakure, the one with the weird body double that really had bothered him. He still didn't understand how the man coul handle being around someone like him. He certainly hadn't been able to when his twin brother had been alive.

Smirking, Shou wondered if the pool held anyone interesting at night. It was something that he had never done before. Soundlessly, Shou slipped into the pool and listened to the splashing of water that meant that someone was swimming in the man made atrocity that was supposed to be better than swimming in the ocean. The chlorinated water made Shou's skin crawl every time he swam in it, but even then it was better than not swimming at all. Wrinkling his nose a little bit, Shou perched on the side of the pool crossing his legs and observed the person who was swimming in the pool. A being wrapped in bandages.

Curious, Shou tilted his head a little as he looked at the boy. He knew that if he had been superstitious that he would have probably been a little freaked out. The boy looked like a ghost and he hadn't seen him around before. Creepy and original was good enough for Shou. Taking a deep breath and slipping his feet into the water Shou decided to speak to the boy. "Hey there."

As Hozu Flapped In The water all he heard was  "Hey there." As Hozu Heard the mysterious person greet him he felt like his heart dropped into the pool. Not trying to be rude Hozu stopped swimming and Gave him his expressionless Stare "...." He waved his hand at him since he was not able to speak to him. All the thing that's going through Hozu's mind is that this guy doesn't Judge him for his missing left arm. Hozu  sits still in the water looking at the mysterious teen thinking , " Why is he here so late .. it just doesn't make sense."
Hozu gets up out of the water and sits on the ledge of the pool he lays back and looks at Night sky barely Visible from all the Mist of the area. He then Looks over at the Mysterious person and starts using hand signs to say "Hello There!"  

The night sky was often something Tashima found himself under. There was a certain solidarity found in the silence of the darkened hours. It didn't help that he was still uncertain about returning to active duty since the accident. Just a few more hours and he'd be assigned a new squad. A new leader, new people, a team that  he'd be relunctantly forced to rely on.  He had been wandering around the village all day it seemed. He was at a loss for what to do. The mist shrouded the environment with its cold and damp caress. Tashima didn't mind the cold, in fact to him it was naturally comforting.  Wandering aimlessly, he found his way near the pool. Perhaps he subconsciously wanted to be near the water. It wouldn't be too much of a farfetched notion. Afterall,  he did spend a lot of his free time near the water. Water was such a comforting element, truly fascinating the way it moved, felt, its versatility and prowess in the form of jutsu, everything about it was to be admired. 

Tashima heard splashing and immediately pondered investigating. His curiosity got the better of him and he darted into the mist to observe who could be out at this hour. As he approached he noticed two figures, the one in the water, obviously the cause of the splashing, and the one perched staring at the other. He stood still watching leaning against the wall of the building leading to the pool using the mist as cover. His eyes continued to examine these two before him. He didn't know them personally, he may have seen them around the village before but being as anti-social as he it was unlikely. The one in the pool was covered in bandages. He folded his arms observing, it was unlike him to approach someone he did not know without a purpose to begin with, but it didn't mean he wouldn't sate his curiousity first.

Shou cocked his head when he didn’t get a reply from the other boy, instead getting a simple cold stare and his eyes narrowed in responce, giving the boy another once over just to be sure about things. He certainly didn't look like a high ranking shinobi but one could never be too careful about such things. Sure, it was normal for shinobi to be suspicious of others, but to completely ignore a hello when given one? That was just rude. Shou’s lips turned upwards into a sneer, his nose wrinkling a little bit in agitation. “What’s the matter, cat got your –“ He started to speak before pausing as he saw the boy’s hand movements vaguely in the small amount of light that ghosted through the mist from the moon. Shou’s brow creased at that and his  hands twitched for a moment before he pulled off his shirt and did a flip into the chlorinated water.

Shou let out a hiss through his sharp teeth at the distasteful feel of the chlorine on his body. He hated the feeling that the chemicals gave the water. Why did humans always have to ruin a perfectly good element with chemicals? It was stupid. Even so, he quickly closed the distance between the two of them with a few powerful strokes. Sure, the chlorine was a disgusting feeling compared to the natural water, but it was still soothing to feel the freedom that the water gave him. He stopped just in front of the boy. “So, you can hear me, obviously, since you stopped when I called you. You’re mute then? Sorry I didn’t really pay attention in school when they did the sign language bit. You’re interesting enough though. ” Shou muttered to the boy in a short burst, not really bothering to slow down or be polite about what he was saying.  Without waiting for another reply Shou swam a few more strokes away from the boy and treaded water, simply watching him. “I’m Hozuki. Shou by the way.”
