fourteen crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

[Unaffected by whatever spells of love have taken over most of Luceti's population, Itachi wanders the streets today with a thoughtful expression.

At the very edge of the woods north of town, basically still inside its limits, the ninja finds a tree and sits down at its base. This is a time for simple meditation in an environment the inside of his apartment can't provide.

This of course means he's likely to be interrupted.]

[Somehow this doesn't come as much of a surprise to the ninja.

He remains where he is, eyes closed but with the rest of his senses keeping track of the other's progress. There's no reason for him to say anything unless he's certain the other individual will be stopping near him.]

[Ikki stops as soon as he spots Itachi. He doesn't come closer but he's definitively there. He frowns slightly, trying to figure if the other is unconscious, sleeping, relaxing or meditating or something. Well, there don't seem to be obvious wounds on him so the first option is discarded soon.]

[Itachi eventually raises his head, not yet activating his Sharingan, so blind eyes stare forward at nothing.]

I don't suppose you're looking for something?

[uccellodifuoco]

I was just trying to decide what you were doing out here. Relaxing maybe?

[Or trying to sleep or meditate. Ikki recognizes the voice as the person talking about second chances the other day, but that doesn't mean much.]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Meditating.

[He recognizes the voice as well, tilting his head.]

I've spoken with you before. A week ago, wasn't it? [Unless he was mixing things up. Memories of that day got blurry at points.]

[uccellodifuoco]

I see, I apologize for disturbing you then. The people I know normally meditate in a way that's easy to tell they are doing so and not just sleeping.

[Ikki nods, though Itachi can't see it, of course.]

Yes, we did. I didn't bother to introduce myself then, I suppose I should do it now, [So you know whose name curse for bothering you while you meditate.], I'm Phoenix Ikki, either of those is fine to call me.

[Though people tend to go with Ikki and it's probably better that way.]

Itachi doesn't honestly care, and he'd thought he'd been obvious enough, but he makes no comment on that.]

I am Uchiha Itachi, Ikki-san. Itachi will do.
