Getting to Know People.

*Shiro walks into the tavern and goes directly to the bar. He taps the counter and requests for a simple lemonade.*

Well now. This one is cozy.

+~Rion walks into the Tavern and sit's down at the bar a few stools away from Shiro~+ "gimme a Grape soda my man" +~Rion looks around the bar while he waits, glancing at Shiro briefly before taking a sip of his drink that was finally delivered~+

Ah finally. A new face.

*He sat up and approached Rion with his friendly smile and his drink in hand.*

It was beginning to get a lil' lonely in here.

+~Rion looked up from his drink with a calm and welcoming expression~+ "Heh, well looks like you got some company now, I'm Rion.... what's your name friend" +~Rion would gesture towards the nearest stool, offering Shiro the chance to sit down~+

*Sitting down he looked over to Rion while taking a sip of his lemonade.*

Shiro's the name. It's about time I seen some new faces.

"Gotta say, it's good to see a NICE face" +~Rion would laugh a bit as he thought back to different fights between his and other villages, which made Rion want to ask a question~+ "so Shiro, what village do you reside in?"

*Looking down a bit, Shiro's eyes closed still smiling. His positive mood stayed the same as always.*

As of now... No where. My home is no longer. So I'm simply walking about if you will. Till I find somewhere I'm needed I guess.

"Heh, that sucks" +~Rion's expression would change slightly to a more serious one~+ "Well I myself am one of the two Kages of the Village lost in the Depths...but for whatever reason everyone says the Rising Village" +~Rion paused briefly, taking a sip of his drink, then returned his attention to shiro~+ "Do you have any particular village in mind to join?"

Well.. The only village I really have friends would be the Chaos.

*His eyes were open again to return Rion's look.*

Zeik... Me and him are old friends. I may begin there.

"Zeik...I've heard of him, but only a little..." +~Rion had heard ofsomeone name Shino killing a powerful opponent through his information network, but he may have been mistaken~+ "Isn't he...dead?"

*I would walk into the Tavern and then speak.* Hey...

+~Rion would turn to greet the newest face in the Tavern~+ "Hello." +~Rion was unsure of the name of this person and decided to give his name instead~+ "I'm Rion, and you are...?" +~Rion would brish the hair from his eyes as he spoke, while still awaiting Shiro's response~+

I'm Zakuzu, Chunnin of the Twilight. Nice to meet you, Rion!

*Somewaht ignoring Zakuzu, Shiro spoke to Rion's question after laughing a bit.*

Knowing him.. He probably is. I haven't really seen him in quite some time now. I only hope he isisn't.

*He then turned to Zakuzu with his smile.*

+~Rion's attention had never really left shiro, and so he was surprised by how casually Shiro took the death of his friend~+ "Well then, you don't seem to worried about him being dead...why?" +~Rion was a fairly inquisitive person and decided to pursue this topic and gain a bit of information~+

Honestly... It would not be the first time. In fact... We've all had that chance to cross over. After all the things we've been through together, for me to believe such a statement would be with my own eyes.

*His eyes closed again yet his smile remained. A sense of seriousness could be heard in his voice, yet his posistive tone never left.*

Don't get me wrong. If he is indeed deceased, I will find out why. For it would take something incredible to take a man of such stature out.

+~Rion would let out a slight laugh at these words, not because they were funny, but because he liked what Shiro had said~+ "You know, I like you, whatever village you choose to join will be a lucky one" +~Rion would down the last of his drink, order another one, and then return to talking to Shiro, which had proved quite interesting~+ "So then Shiro, what's your story?"

*Shiro returned to his lemonade drinking still slowly for he was still on his first one.*

Depends on what you want to know... I have many stories.
