The moon's mysterious figure lingered timidly in the darkened skies, setting a cast of the sun's borrowed light across the earth below. Nimble blades of grassed swayed majestically from side to side, following the subtle breezes that swept the area. It was a beautiful spring evening in Iwakagure; the rare sighting of sakura petals filled the entire village and mountains alike. With such a gorgeous sight, one could quickly forget how rough the area was normally. A thin cloud of carbon dioxide flowed between Zwei's parched lips as he ambled along the petal filled earth, which concealed the rocky terrain below. Idle hands were settled in his pocket as he cleared the expanse and made his way towards his destination. At first it had seemed as if he had no real destination -- emerald hued lenses were focused on the earth before him as a rather blank face filled his profile. Over the last couple of days a series of disappointing realities had left Zwei insecure for the most part. He just came short of becoming a Chuunin, been defeated in a few combat rounds, it wasn't because he lacked the proper skill; of course not, it was because of his problematic heart condition and recently the effects have been far more severe than usual.
The scent of fresh water filled his nostrils and soon the sound of rushing waves followed as he advanced forward. Once he had gotten closer he simply stopped, taking notice of the beautiful scenery before him. One of the hidden beauties in Iwakagure; a waterfall, which was quite a distance from lake Iwakagure and fortunately for Zwei - it wasn't as popular. Just below the crashing waterfall, there was a massive river -- the stream was very calm and due to the placement of a few scattered rocks within there wasn't any real chance to be swept by it unless someone was on the other side of it. Zwei made his way over to waterfall part of it, taking notice of the rocks around the water; the vegetation was very powerful around the parts where the water touched the rocks. There were several patches of moss scattered about, which really added to the nightly scenery. "Man, this place is beautiful." Zwei uttered softly to himself as the edges of his lips lifted; a faint smile shaped his profile. Regardless of how he felt prior to coming to the waterfall; he was always relieved once his gaze was set upon the area. He retreated his hands from his pockets, placing them gently on his head as he begun working against the firm lacings that kept his pony tail in a bind. With the string untied his hair fell to his shoulder, the tip of his hair had a soft blonde tint to it due to a little incident with a fellow shinobi.
Due to his moment of peace he didn't think to observe his surroundings; this place wasn't very popular among the locals so he wasn't worried about anyone seeing him. If someone was crazy enough to attack him -- he'd at least have enough time to defend himself if needed. It was a vast area and it would certainly be difficult to conceal an attack unless it was from a distance. Needless to say such thoughts didn't really bother Zwei, if he was going out at least the area around him was so beautiful. He begun to undress, starting off with the lacing that held his sheathe and sword, following by his white jacket with his clan insignia along the back, as well as his black pants and footwear(nudie booty). He paused for a moment to fold up his items neatly and placed the sword on the on top of his clothes. With the towel he had placed over his shoulder he simply placed it over his head and made his way into the water. He flinched and grunted gently as the cold water initially placed against his flesh. Goosebumps filled his body and although it was rather cold he didn't shy away from it at all but merely went further in until he was under the water fall. Fortunately for him the water was high enough so he was concealed, but low enough so his head poked out and he didn't have to suffer for air. He released one last breath as he folded the towel over his forehead the crashing waves heading his head and clouding his ears slightly. "Oh this place is awesome."
