Eating at the ramen place, waiting for excitement

[shadowofrose]

Kage was at the ramen place, and she was figuring out what to order for to eat. So since she was a Chunin, she needed to keep up her energy. Her energy was the most important thing. If she didn't have something to eat, she would literally get grumpy and punch anyone who was on her nerves. But then again, it wasn't unusual, so Kage was paitently looking at the menu and then her black kitty cat wallet.

She wanted to pick wisely to make sure she had enough money... Also there had been the fact not a lot of missions lately at the fact that the Chunin Exams so she hadn't got much of any needed work either that or once the Exams started she would be forced upon a lot of work... But same went as well as a lot of younger Chunin as well, like herself. So she was preparing herself ahead of time. Because she didn't want to be shown up by her fellow Chunins and she just despised it. She was aiming for a prize, and when she aimed for something... Well, she tended to stick with her instincts and do what she wanted to do. And at the fact that she had other things to focus on also became a problem, like eating, breathing, and many other troubling factors at times. But she could deal with that.

"Hmmm..." Kage muttered, as she was glancing at the menu and then back at her wallet and of course, back at the the menu. "Dang it, I need to get something cheap but delicious as well."

She was growling to herself, but the owner was getting impaitent, starting to tell her that she need to pick or leave. So in the end, Kage didn't pick a very cheap meal. The meal consisted of two ramens with scrambled eggs and bacon. And now, Kage was sighing as she was eating, clearly irritated that she couldn't have picked as fast as she could have. As she slurped some up, she was wondering if the bacon tasted a tad crisper on purpose for some reason.

Hanabi ate her order while examine the older girl intently. she was staring at the girls odd clothes and decided that they were much to garish for her taste personally. Eying the forehead protector a moment that proclaimed the girl a ninja, she spoke with scorn evident in her voice. “Do you wear 'that' outfit on missions; if so you lose points in stealth? Your clothes would make you a moving target and easily remembered. Also those clothes could hamper your movement in dense underbrush not a little." Hanabi spoke as though she was considering these things her self. Which she was of course, she liked to take time pondering things like that and learned as much by watching other’s mistakes as by making her own.

Her eyes were pale white but not completely colorless and contrasted sharply with her dark hair, which she had inherited from her father. Her older sister took after their mother in that department.

Kage glanced over at the girl. She was looking over at the girl, and she sighed, as she was thinking of what to say. She was sure the girl was younger at her. Even though these were her casual clothes, this girl like to point out everything about it at least. Kage liked that in a person. Nobody had indeed notice that much really... If she could befriend her, then maybe they could be friends. Maybe. She was keeping her cool, as she looked over the girl.

"I had yet to fully modify this outfit. Actually I sketch what I imagine would be good for a ninja outfit then make it myself. Like out of the materials of the original outfit, because I use it all. I have modified many other outfits." Kage said, as she was eating a bit, casually pulling out her sketchbook, which had many of her previous clothes that weren't mission worthy, to something more mission worthy, looking at the kid. "I didn't have much of a chance to get materials today really, I have to focus more on food and the more things to live, ya know, right? Most of the prices for the fabrics I want are a bit expensive for my tastes. The colors of purple and red are quite popular, but I'm having different thoughts on it. Even though I got a lot of fabrics, I don't want to stick to one color. Of course, I make it a bit more subtle. Most of the outfits are black, just like the undershirts like more different colors. ... But I'm probably boring you with what I do to my outfits, the stuff of being a Chunin, and junk like that."

"Go with sturdy simple fabrics thing that can hold up to dirt and blood without staining as you never know what kind of conditions you'll be in from one moment to the next. Black is popular from that reason, i believe. it hides blood better then lighter fabrics and it helps blend in with the shadows. " With great care Hanabi put down her chopsticks and took the sketch book. She carefully leafed through the pages examining them intently. "avoid too many dangling bits as they can get caught on branches. The elders say things like neutrals are key to a successful hunt if you want to hide. if you want to be seen how ever by all means be gaudy." She thought that the sketches were good.

But she didn't think that making her own clothes was very practical unless of course you were very skilled at such work."Are you exceptionally skilled with constructing garments or just designing them?" She stopped talking to focus on her order and she set the book down to flip through it some more as she ate." where are your parents if you don't mind my asking? You don't look much older then fifteen should you like with them until at least sixteen if not more." She knew that the incident of one or more parents dying on mission was fairly high but that was the nature of the business.

In fact there was mildly high incident of orphans in the village but not so high as in other. it was that to have a large family without some loss was rare indeed. Even her family was not without loss. A branch family had a loss some years back and left a son surviving by the name of neji. How or why he died was not truly known to her. Her father said the man died with honor and wouldn't tell her more on the subject.

"Well, thank you for the honest opinion about my work. Yes, I can construct my clothes, and no, my parents aren't dead, they're just working right now." Kage said, as she was laughing a bit. "I just like to go out on my own because I like being independent and I need to learn about the ninja life, so that's why I often go out own my own. I enjoy often doing things alone. It's how I get most if not all things done. Even being a Genin, I still have to adapt myself to a lot of things."

She was thinking, as she was working of the fact so she could relax and just think of what she should do next as she was eating her ramen. Soon, Kage reached into her bag, and grabbed her sweets, after she finished her ramen, starting to eat her sweets, because she needed to curb her sweet craving.
