Rin would look at Hatsu with a serious stare, her arms tense and defensive. "No Hatsu-san. Merely that the information that I gathered leads to the residential district. These are children whom are thieves, they havent mugged anyone yet so thats a good sign.They're apparently 14 to 15 years old. Orphans." Shed say staring at Hatsu her tone even showing no emotion unlike her earlyer a bit ways more enthusiastic way of addressing Hatsu. Clearly she had established that friendly wasn't on her team leaders priority list, so she would maintain the serious tone she understood Hatsu wanted the team to have. When Axel spoke though she was more calm and less defensive smiling just a bit. "Thank you it's a lovely flower Axel. I really appreciate it." She was friendly to the redhead and was more than happy to answer his question and ease herself.

"I am the sword in the Darkness...
He gave Rin a warm smile, but made a face at Hatsu’s words. There wasn’t any particular rush, so there was no real need to be so uptight about this, plus, what was this, a D ranked mission? “Well, I guess we should head for the residential district and find these kids before they get into more trouble.” He stretched his arms and tilted his head toward Hatsu. “Unless you think there’s something else we should do here?” The redhead crossed his arms and thought for a moment, he didn’t believe there was anything else to find here, but he asked his clone if he thought they missed anything, and he shook his head. Axel shrugged. “Your welcome.” He said after a while, hoping that Hatsu would say nothing about it and just let them be for the time being. “If there’s nothing more to do here, lets get on with this mission, who knows, it might still get interesting from here on out.” He gave one last shrug and walked toward the residential district regardless of whether or not Hatsu and Rin followed. His clone gave the two women a nervous bow. “I apologize for myself.” He spoke slowly and stepped sideways. “He uh… Talking to these people, being mistaken for a shinobi has affected him, even if he doesn’t want to say it. And then there’s the entire Hakanai thing still on his shoulders.” He gave one last bow and paced behind the original him. If the two girls were to leave at this very moment, they would reach the residential district before the Iron Sand clone was even half way there.
Axel gave Hatsu an odd look, one of displeasure. Thinking about what she had said recently, Hatsu would realize that perhaps she was being too hard on them. While she meant good in her intentions, there was a certain freedom that people need. Once Axel left, Hatsu would turn towards Rin with a nervous look. "Rin....." Hatsu rubbed the back of her neck, looking to the right. "Am I being too strict?"

Rin would look at Hatsu with a raised eyebrow and a curious expression. A moment of less serious and more open to suggestions, a more open Hatsu. This was an odd reaction Rin wasn't expecting, she had always seemed so serious up until this point, she might as well answer, but perhaps with another question. "Does a tiger have stripes?" shed answer her team leader although her expression was more gentle and understanding. Clearly the answer was meant to be 'yes' even if she wasn't being explicitly direct with it. Rin wasn't known for being the most direct with conflict, often avoiding it, but this couldn't be avoided."Hatsu-San, I understand the reason why you're being so serious and strict. Its a misison of course there's no doubt we must be focused." she seemed to be trailing of into a thought before returning to the rest of her sentence. "But of course that doesn't mean we cant be more open to conversation with our fellow shinobi, sharing information, following orders its vital but so is keeping the team dynamic, and the dynamic isn't strict and serious. Serious yes, strict...not so much. Our lives aren't currently in danger, or a lot of it anyway, so strict shouldnt be that high on priority. What should be is keeping everyone, us and the kids safe." shed let her leader know that while she appreciated her worry she knew danger vs more tame situations after all it was just kids. "Maybe tone down the strict just a little. After all these are kids our age probably scared alone confused missing their parents, its pain and needs that drive them I'm sure and if we show up acting all serious and commanding we're not getting anywhere with them." shed tell her leader what she thought was the best method to deal with the thieves. "Granted I could be wrong and we could end up using force ot subdue them but...I guess well find out" she'd say rubbing the back of her head and smiling in expectation of how she might end up messing up being completely wrong about them and them needing to use force. " Anyway we better get going, Axels moving a little fast..." shed say scampering off behind the redheaded boy.

Hatsu listened to every word Rin said, advice to be taken to heart. Once she had finished, she left Hatsu behind. Hatsu stood there, lost in thought for a moment. "I......see." With a small sigh she would throw up some handsigns, creating a clone. Giving the clone some money, it knew exactly what to do, and walked in the direction of the clothing shop from before. Hatsu would then follow Rin, hoping the three of them weren't too far apart. The clone would buy the dress and head for the residential district.

Soraru entered with a paper in his hand, his stride having a small positive bump to it with every step. Small little things like that were a tell for happiness or excitement, traits not often seen on the boy. The paper was one of the many notices on the mission board, this one in particular for helping the needy in a soup kitchen. Not exactly the...shining example of a shining situation, but it was still his first mission. What was it that his mentor used to always tell him when he was feeling down? The biggest things have the smallest beginnings? Who knew. Maybe he'd be going from feeding the needy to defeating some large scale enemy. The shinobi world wasn't like the samurai one at all. It was crazy, full of erratic situations and pure excitement. No, there wasn't always peace, something people should always strive to maintain, but there was character. A bunch of men wielding the same blades in the same armor for the same god could have honorable purpose, but it wasn't a way for a boy to grow. As much as he loved his home, he understood that much, which is why he agreed to leave in the first place.
It was only a short trip to the short kitchen, but Soraru decided to take advantage of the available time. He rose the relatively small flute he kept tied to the bottom of his shirt to his lips, beginning to play a simple tune. His footsteps were the backing beat to the song he began to play, a repeating tune that varied through going higher and lower, an upbeat tone that left his instrument clear as water. Some passerby's paid him attention, and some people who were familiar with him gave little calls and cheers. The plaza was one of his more preferred locations to play. Filled with some people who really just wanted peace and good entertainment. That was all Soraru knew how to provide, so it all worked quite well in the end.
When he reached his destination, his song conveniently ended at the same time. The genin saw the moderate line of people who were on a wave of hard luck. His heart did bleed for people who weren't any kind of fortunate, but he also knew a good majority got there through mistakes that rarely lean towards a legal border. The people working inside seemed happy enough, but the line was building, so he understood why the notice was put out. Not enough working hands on board. "Hey! You still need volunteers?" He called out to the people inside, giving a wave.

Down the streets, a dark skinned female walked with a cub whose height was up to her hips. He was spouting a bit of a mane. That's when she realized he wasn't a full snow leopard despite having almost the same features and especially the tail. Walked into the building, she nearly bumped into someone. Her pale blue glanced down and saw his headband. Ah. So he was here to help? With that, she gently tapped onto his shoulder and smiled warmly at him. With a tilt of her head, she wanted him to follow her.
However, Shu did not take kindly to this stranger. His problem? The shinobi was a male with raging hormones like all teenager boys and no one should have Hakanai except Kaileer. With that, his lips curled back and showed his adult teeth, snarling at him as his fur started to raise up. Hakanai had no idea due to being deaf but everyone was starring at the direction. With a frown, she turned and gasped. Her lips curled back in respond as she hissed sharply at him. What was his problem!? Then she pointed at the door and signed at him. "Sit. Outside. Now!" The cub lowered his head but his grey eyes pierced through at Soraru's soul as if saying that he's watching him. With that, the massive brute sat outside. Hakanai sighed with relief as she smiled weakly at Soraru, her hand went up in a closed fist as she made a circular motion on her chest, "Sorry.
Soraru was content with the small wait for them to pay attention to him. They were quite busy after all. His idleness was interrupted though when he felt a tapping against his shoulder. Turning around, he noticed the woman who had been sleeping on the floor of the office earlier. Now that she was up though, he was able to notice the pale blue eyes and more delicate, specific pictures he wasn't able to see earlier. She tilted her head away from the crowd, enough to let him know that she wanted him to step aside with her. His investigation was cut short when he noticed a bit of violent intent from the cub next to her. His eyes went to see the pet snarling at him...angrily? No. It was more-so possessive. Foxes, wolves and bears were pretty common around the Land of Iron, and he spent enough time around them to at least know their more common behavioral patterns. More people were starting to pay attention to the situation, and he hoped a scene wouldn't be caused.
Before anything could really break out, it seemed the woman finally caught on when she actually looked at her pet...he noted that. Her late reaction to the situation, the way she gestured for him to follow instead of speaking, then...the sign language she was now using on her pet. He understood the situation well enough, he wasn't that dense. When Shu decided to give him the glare of the century, Soraru raised a brow in return. Someone really wasn't a fan of him, apparently. Shame. The cub was kinda cute. His attention was drawn with her sigh, and he turned to smile back a bit sheepishly. Then came more sign language, and Soraru shook his head. It wasn't exactly a common teaching amongst samurai. "I don't know sign language...follow me." He said, his words leaving clearly, not rushed at all so that she could read his lips properly. In case she didn't catch on completely, he gestured with his hand as he walked back towards the soup kitchen counter. Once there, he went to the papers used to write orders for the chefs to take, drawing one along with the pen next to it.
He turned then, smiling to the girl and waving the paper for her to see it, before placing it on the counter for her to write what she wished.

Hakanai read his lips as she started to dig into her little bag and get out paper and pen. Followed her ally, she saw that he got a piece of paper as she smiled sheepishly. How kind. But it was not needed. The people can keep their paper as she uses her notebook. Hakanai started to write down onto the notebook, "Sorry about that, I don't know what's wrong with him. He's still young. My name is Hakanai and that was Shukenja. Are you here to help out with the soup kitchen too?" Hakanai finished as she handed him the notebook. While she waited for him to respond, she made sure to leave the pen as she greeted the workers at the soup kitchen. Reached around a wall, she got an apron for herself and as well for Soraru if he was to help out with the kitchen too.
Folded the apron gently she placed it by the genin's side as she was very patient with this. Meanwhile, her eyes glanced towards the kitchen to see if she could make her favorite soup, that should lift the spirits of the people for some time. It's warm, thick, and sure to be filling to the stomach for a long while.
The boy blinked when he saw her pull out paper and a pen, laughing a bit sheepishly. He probably should have thought of that in the first place. emotion_sweatdrop While she wrote her words down, he rocked from side to side on his feet with his hands behind his back, looking around the busy soup kitchen. If there was anything he could give the Shinobi, it was that they could definitely mean good. The moral line was a bit muddled back home. If you weren't fortunate enough to be a noble, you were pretty much forced to join the fighting ranks. There weren't many jobs or places where ones took care of the homeless, because there weren't really any homeless. You were either a worker or a fighter, there was no grey area. If you didn't want to do any kind of service, you were removed from the land of iron. Then there was the olden days, where those people were culled. It was a harsh place, but one couldn't be lenient when the Shinobi could strike at any time. There was a treaty, but all that was needed to violate that was one greedy, power hungry Kage.
Soraru was distracted from his thoughts when the woman moved again. He took the notebook from her, and read over her words.The boy took the pen she left and started on his response. "Pretty big for such a young boy. No worries either way, I'm familiar with his type. Yes though, I'm here to help out with the soup kitchen. I'm Soraru, nice to meet you." When he looked back at the girl, he noticed that she had already gotten aprons for them, causing him to give a sweet smile. He could appreciate those who thought ahead. He handed the notebook back to Hakanai, waiting for her to take it before he tied the apron on. Due to his clothing he had to tie it a bit tight so it wouldn't slip off or get caught on anything, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all.
With introductions done, he ended up walking over towards the counter, beckoning for the attention of the current lead of the kitchen. "Heya. You've got two extra hands volunteering for awhile. Soraru and Hakanai. Anything you need to tell us before we get to work?" He asked, tilting his head a bit in curiosity, but the man on the other side of the counter merely gestured for them to come around. "As long as you can cook and avoid making a mess, we'll be glad to have you. Just feed hungry mouths, not much of an explanation needed. Thank you for the help." The guy said, and Soraru grinned in response, nodding happily as he walked on through and into the kitchen.

Hakanai snorted softly when the genin, whose name was Soraru thought that Shukenja was pretty big for his age. Which was true. But it's all part of being of a tamer. Her eyebrow rose when he said he was familiar with Shukenja's type. What did he mean by that? Though, she refrained from writing. Followed Soraru, they entered into the kitchen. She started to write on the paper that would rest on the island so they can still cook but write when they can. No hurry for it. "What did you mean? And yes, Shukenja is a tamer pet, they are usually bigger than your average pets. However, I recently found out he wasn't a snow leopard but a lion hybrid. So I fear how big he will be when fully grown." Which was true. Right now both Hakanai and Shukenja barely fit onto the bed. With that, she turned around and got out a massive soup pot.
Gathered the ingredients which mostly consist of potatoes, she started cutting them up on the island, which would be better communication wise if he does response. If Shukenja does become massively big, how can she handle it? Maybe she should build him a room for him specifically and somehow find a bed. King sized bed should do... for now. What if he gets bigger? With a sigh, she hopes not. A full grown adult sized snow leopard and lion with a personality and attitude of a cub? That would not bode well.

"I am the sword in the Darkness...
Axel walked into the Plaza. He was shirtless and didn’t remember where he had left his shirt so it would be for the best to go and buy a new one, he was sure he could get one here, but there would be no use as long as it kept raining. There was something here he hadn’t noticed before: a tent with the symbol of the village hospital. He approached it and hid himself from the rain. There were people speaking and walking about, making requests, as well as a mission board similar to the one in the Raikage’s office. He eyed it and picked one of the papers that asked of him to bring back some firewood, that seemed simple enough for him, best of all was the fact that he did not need an axe to do it. Axel then read another mission on the board, one about medical supplies, he figured this was the place to talk to about that since it said to go talk to a person in the plaza. “Excuse me, I heard there’s something about a mission here?”
The young woman within the tent was so focused on whatever she was writing that she almost didn't notice Axel. She sat up straight in surprise a moment after he spoke. "Oh, sorry!" Not having actually heard what he said, she caught the paper in his hand and put two and two together. "Ah, yes. The herbs we requested. As you know, it's winter, despite the rain--" She eyed him up and down. "You're going to catch your death kid." But to each their own, she supposed. "Anyway, because of that, most of what we're looking for are roots. It's toward the end of winter, so dandelion bulbs will be around. And you should also be able to find burdock and yellow dock." She paused again, and frowned slightly, realizing he probably had no idea what she was talking about. "I hope you at least know what a dandelion is. Okay, change of plans. I would still like you to find dandelion roots, but collect pine needles as well." She wrote both down on a piece of paper. "Oh, and juniper berries. They're small, greenish-blue, and can be found on juniper--er, some pine trees." Finished writing, she handed the sheet over to him. "If you're not sure, just avoid red berries."

"I am the sword in the Darkness...
He eyed the woman as she spoke names of things that for the most part he did not know. What were something burdocks? And did she just ask him to go look for a yellow d**k...? His eyes were a blank stare for the most part and would not now and again to give the illusion that he knew what the woman was talking about; surprise surprise, he didn’t. He took the woman’s list and stuck it in his pockets so it would not get wet. He then walked into a store, grabbed a black cloak and threw it on, the cloak had a hood but he decided not to put it on, hoods weren’t his thing. It began to collect water from the rain as soon as he stepped out, drops ran through his face, getting into his eyes, making it hard to see at times. He struggled to move bumping into people left and right, as well as people bumping into him just as often. At some point, someone hit into him rather hard, which made him in turn hit the person that was standing to his right, and older lady, which then was thrown off her feet and hit the person that was in front of her before landing on the ground. Axel turned quickly and offered to help, but saw a creature walk in through the back of a food place, it looked too familiar to Lilja... Maybe he was seeing things. But then he saw her with that white feral mane, and he knew that he was not seeing things at all. His eyes widened, Axel took a step back from the woman that he was going to help up. His hands reached for his hood and quickly slammed it down, concealing his face and hair, but drenching it in the water it had collected. Without a second thought, he turned and disappeared into the crowd, heading toward the gates.
Soraru blinked at the question she left him. Well, he figured he could answer that much. As for the rest, he found himself a little bit amazed. Hybrids weren't exactly common. Lion genes could get it to become pretty big, definitely too much so to fit in a bed with her. Hell, the animal could likely be a bed for her if she wanted. Before he answered her though, he took a few sticks of celery and carrots, bringing them to the counters cutting board. It only took a bit over a minute to dice it all up accordingly, and he left it there for a moment to answer Hakanai's letter. "I grew up in the Land of Iron. I know what it's like to have big pets. Shukenja must have believed I was a threat of some sort, because that growl was more possessive than anything. Just a warning. He wouldn't hurt me though. Also, if he grows to big, you could always try to either get him his own little room, or just use him as a bed c:" He wrote down with a small smile, before getting back to his station.
As he went through larger drawers to look for a good skillet, he noticed a translucent container which held familiar things within. Finding his interest peaked, he brought it out to the counter and opened it, only to find himself smiling at what he'd discovered. A multitude of different kinds of dried herbs. With that spotted, he decided to make two different soup trays. He ended up finding both rosemary and palsy, placing them in the skillet he was using for his first recipe. While he let the ingredients begin to cook and soften, he worked on his second dish. Luckily he found a stewing pot more easily than he did the skillet, and was able to get to work straight away.
Dried lily bulbs, lotus seeds, longan and red rose buds. He also added goji berries, red dates, and lastly, though it was strange, he added a bit of rock sugar. The main ingredient of chicken was included as well. He was a bit saddened that there wasn't any black chicken for its health benefits, but he understood that it was never a common ingredient in the first place.With that he added some water into the pot, and let things heat up in there. His first meal would be more for both feeding and filling the less fortunate ones. A good tasting meal, plentiful and healthy. The second though, was purely for health purposes and didn't taste half bad either. If he was sure about anything, it was that anyone who was sick would be bettered at least a bit by what he made. Another plus side was that it smelled amazing.
