♥; oh nanaaaaaa
He certainly didn't look happy. Had something happened to annoy him? Then again, he had a bad tendency to get annoyed at nothing in particular, so it was wiser just not to ask.
"You never ask a lady what's in her handbag, you know." I said, smiling what was, in my mind, a mysterious and intriguing smile. Of course, aside from the treats provided, there was the usual jumble of wonderful items. My cosmetics, naturally, as well as a few tangled necklaces and bracelets, a book or two, strands of ribbon, which i have found no use for yet, my purse, cigarettes, a few stray senbon... i'll stop there.
"What have you been up to? Caught sight of any intruders?" I asked, knowing full well that he had been bored until my arrival. Looking around, i shielded my striking eyes against the sun, full lashes batting against my hand as i squinted into the distance.
"I hope something happens on this mission. If all else fails, samurai are supposed to be guarding these borders too. We can throw things at them when we get bored!" I said cheerfully, wandering over to the rock that he had just vacated, and laying out a few things atop it. Bottles of water, important for healthy skin and just about everything else, a few pieces of fruit, rather uninspiring, and some sweet rice balls, rather more tasty.
"We've been given provisions, isn't that sweet? Admittedly, they're not exactly up to par with my usual consumption, and a bottle of wine would've been nice, but i suppose it's free, after all."
I wasn't suggesting we eat them yet, simply getting them out. After all, i supposed we ought to actually patrol, rather than camp out in one spot. That was tedious, wandering the border... i wonder why i actually chose this mission? I sat down beside the food, still scanning the horizon.
"It's more of a precaution than anything, isn't it? Before, i would've asked who would bother to seek out iwa, with its current less~than~impressive state, but then, we met that mist shinobi..." It was still nagging on my mind. Although, perhaps iwa's rather weak state was not current knowledge, after all? Oh dear, this village. It was just not fitting for somebody like me! Somebody fabulous and ambitious, somebody with much, much bigger things awaiting them than the dirt and dust of iwagakure.
Sighing, i tossed back my hair, snatching up one of the bottles of water and reclining further on the rock.
"We simply have to get out of here sweetie! See the sights, meet the big names, steal the most luxurious treasures... After we wander the borders for a couple of hours, of course." And with that, i stepped gracefully to my feet, sipping a little water, before tucking the foot all back in my bag, and swinging it onto my arm.
"Let's get started shall we? I believe if we continue on this way," i gestured with a bright red nail, "we'll be alongside ame, and we can follow on beside kusa. By the time we're on the border with taki, i'd say we've done more than enough." I said, consulting my map just to be sure.
It was a drag, and my feet would probably hurt by the end of the trek, but we were shinobi after all. Such things were simply another aspect of our work! And so, with a few weary steps, i began to walk, dazzling blonde flowing out behind me as i slipped into strut.
