She knew today's assignment was centered somewhere around the uptown district- near the famous Raikage Tower- but upon reaching the plaza she'd been headed for, she was forced to retrieve and open the letter she had been given that detailed the specifics of her errand. She hopped down from the second-story roof of a classy apartment complex, landing silently onto the neatly paved street below. This early morning, only those few with jobs to attend to occupied the thoroughfares of Kumogakure no Sato. The boulevard in this part of town was, for the most part, empty at the moment. The fresh morning breeze that swept through carried the scent of fresh water, lightly numbing the sides of the girl's cheeks, and spawning soft orbs of red on each one. She quivered, feeling the ice-cold but strangely satisfying chill run down her spine.
Opening the message she had been given prior to leaving for her hunting trip, Elsa would push a stray strand of sable hair behind her ear as she started to read what was specified. Her eyes widened at the sight of the address listed. Her destination... was the Raikage Tower. B-But... but that would mean... ?! "Nagi, Nami, and Kami." She'd mutter, an old phrase her aunts would reiterate whenever something was simply too shocking to believe. This, however, was actually happening. Her target: the soon-to-be, Sandaime Raikage. She was hesitant to do what she was being asked to do, simply because it would seem like an action that went far beyond the pale, but... she had already been paid in advanced.
She nearly crumpled up the letter in her hand, but shook her head in immediate response. She was doing this, she couldn't back out like some coward. Not to this. So she re-read the message typed on the document, memorized it, folded the document in question, then placed it safely in the breast pocket of her short-sleeved white shirt. Elsa would then take a single step towards the direction of the Raikage Tower that loomed overhead, stopping immediately thereafter. Remaining completely still, with her dark blue eyes fixated on the tower, she pondered the validity of her decision one last time. Then, after lightly huffing, she continued forwards.
Now that she knew who she was after, her decision to ignore the application of cosmetics started sounding like a bad one. Having applied a little make-up would have probably helped her pull this off a bit easier. It... it was the Raikage, after all! Quietly passing through the front entrance of the Kumogakure no Sato's legendary tower, as to not arouse unneeded attention, Elsa would slip through and make a beeline for the nearest ladies room. Her hand immediately reached for the knob that would allow the release of cold water, her curvaceous form looming over the sink as she stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. Sleepy eyes, dry but full lips.
She'd splash her face with cold water and prepare for what was to come. Drying her face with paper towels, she'd sigh. And, when she was ready, she'd exit the restroom and approach the front desk.| Continued here. |
