Sabaku no Temari | 08 | [In Person]

[suna_bitch]

[There's a small blond girl kneeling outside in the snow, her expression as she looked at it screamed that she'd never seen such a thing before in her life. Anyone that knew her elder self would know this was true. Unlike her older self though, she was unsure of herself. She didn't know where she was or where her daddy was, but maybe if she was good he'd come to get her? But why would he leave her in the cold? It wasn't like the time that he'd left her out in the desert. At least there, she knew what it was and how she could survive...but she couldn't find anything in the cold white stuff. All she could find was powdery stuff and colder slightly wet stuff.

She wanted to go in the building, it looked warm...but what if daddy came to get her? He might not be able to find her; or worse. He would find her and be angry that she went inside.

Moving to a tree, she sat at the base and just shivered. She didn't know what she was supposed to do. What was perfectly clear though, was that as pretty as the white stuff was, it didn't make her feel good. Staying quiet, she waited, not know what exactly she was waiting for.]

[Tilting her head curiously, she thought over the name. She didn't recognize it, so it must be a tiny village.]

Are you in training too? [Inching forward, she came a little closer to the strange boy.]

[deeplymeaningless]

Training?

[Well... Ryuutaro was training with his beyblade and training fortune-telling, too so...]

Yes, I think I'm training pretty hard lately...

[suna_bitch]

[Wrinkling her nose, she looked down at herself and then back at the boy.]

You're not doing very good at it, are you?

[The boy was a total shrimp.

[deeplymeaningless]

[What. Now Ryuutaro is offended, taking in a sharp breath]

I'm giving it my very best, which always has been very well.

[And since this Ryuutaro isn't good yet in bittersweet irony it sounds obviously a bit snapped]

[suna_bitch]

[Staring at the boy, she crossed her arms, bored already by him.]

Then your teacher isn't very good. You're weak and should be 'shamed.

[deeplymeaningless]

[So maybe there was a reason strangers weren't allowed to talk to him. Ryuutaro huffs]

You can't just say that. It's not even true to begin with.

[suna_bitch]

It must be! You're stringy! Even a training dummy could beat you!

[Stepping forward, she puts her hands on her hips, not at all intimidated by the boy.]
