one crow (朱) action

[This particular new feather is walking slowly through town, glancing around with a curious but detached sort of gaze. More than anything else, he looks lost.

Itachi could have snuck around for a while, done reconnaissance in the proper ninja fashion, but he was so thrown off by the mere matter of his continued existence that he hadn't even bothered.

He's silent, taking in everything without appearing to be doing so, journal held loosely in one hand.]

Hn. A strategist?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

My brother and I are military strategists by tradition. There isn't much for us to do here without wars to be fought, though. [A pause.] But that doesn't mean it's always quiet here.

Sometimes it's better when a position like that isn't needed.

[Itachi studies the area again and then changes the subject.] If I was looking for a place to stay, where would I go?

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

I'd have to agree with you there.

[Caesar motions toward one of the larger buildings.] There are plenty of empty rooms in those buildings. Some of the houses might still be free, too. Find one, and it's yours. [He pauses again. On that note...] If you go to the plaza, you can find your belongings in the stores there. Clothing, items, weapons - whatever it is, it'll show up there eventually.

[Itachi didn't believe he'd require a whole house, but this just confirmed what little he'd had the chance to read in his book.]

Thank you. I'll have to see what I can find.

Don't mention it. It might take some getting used to, but I don't think you'll have any trouble. [Not that he knew. But something told him this guy was smart.] My name's Caesar, by the way. Caesar Silverberg. If you do find trouble, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[He pauses a moment, then:] I am Itachi Uchiha. Thank you.

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

A pleasure. [He nods.] Take care of yourself.

[Itachi nods back, then turns to continue on his way.]
