Sighing she looked down at the table tracing her finger along it. Ayame's influence with her had her thinking of this odd fantasy of her and Theo being together. When the reality of it was far from that. They couldn't be together at all. Taking in a deep breath and letting it out she spoke honestly as to how she felt. "I don't think anything should happen between us." She spoke.
"I don't know how we're going to do this with the kids but. There is no us." She said firmly as she looked to him with her cold eyes. Her demeanor changing rapidly as Ariel's influence left her. "It was a night of emotion that both of us didn't think about. The emotions of battle were still upon us and things got out of hand." She said as she stood up. She didn't know what was really on her mind but she had to get out of there. "You're allowed to see the children I won't take their father from them. But you will never have me." She said firmly as she left [exit]

The Monster of the Mist
Theodin Poe
There is Fenris grim His jaws are open wide The serpent rises from the waves Jormungandr twists and turns, mighty in his wrath The eyes are full of primal hate
Theodin sat, waiting for Asami’s answer, hoping that she’d at least give them a chance, but when he heard what she said, his heart sank into his gut. The young jounin was in shock, he hadn’t been expecting her to throw herself into his arms right then and there, but this complete rejection was unexpected as well. After she walked out on him, Theo called over a server, ordering the biggest bottle of sake they had. When the waitress brought it over and poured his cup, Theo picked it up and downed it in one gulp, slamming the cup back on the table so hard that he dented the tabletop and shattered the cup in his hand. He then told the waitress to leave the bottle and forget about getting another cup as he picked the bottle up and tilted it back, chugging down the whole thing in a matter of seconds. Standing and paying his bill, he wanted to find Asami, but didn’t really know where she had gone. Standing still a moment, doing his best to quiet his whirling mind, Theo pulled chakra in from the area around with the help of the staff in his hand, and shifted into his Sage mode. He then focused to look for a chakra signature, tuning out the ones he recognized from his past times in this form. When he found one that he didn’t really recognize, but for some reason felt right, he headed out of the shop to track it, to find Asami. (exit)

Taka henged a form fitting cover onto her chest before she would walk into the restaurant. She figured she didnt want to get kicked out and kiyoko had probably gotten enough of an eyeful to remember that sight for the rest of her life. The cover was more of a tight wrap around her chest that just covered the girls and left the rest exposed. Suna was just too damned hot to wear anything formal. She found the two a booth near the entrance and plopped her down on the cushy seat and took a spot across from her. Eventually when a waitress popped up she asked for a black tea with lots of honey and said for kiyoko to get whatever she wanted. Taka would pay for the two of them and just wanted to relax currently. "Do you know how long its been since ive been in a restaurant?"

"Probably since the last time you wore a shirt." Kiyoko remarked softly. She looked over the menu and chose green tea for now. She had a feeling that this was a date and yet again she blushed sheepishly. She had heard about these and knew they were mostly about talking. What the hell was there for her to talk about? The fact that in reality while she had the mind and body of a late teenager that she was really only a few years old. Biting her lip her eyes gazed back into her dates. Was this really a date? Or was she feeding into her own fantasies at the moment? "Is... is this a date?" She finally managed to say outloud as the waitress looked at her with a funny look. As if Kiyoko wasn't good enough for a woman like Taka. The waitress left after writing down the meals as Kiyoko stared waiting for an answer.
"Oh ha ha. Cheeky hunny. Ill have you know the last time I was in a restaurant I was in a evening gown. Anyway you should try it sometime. Its nice to feel the breeze on occasion." She said with a smirk. She pondered on the girls words as well for a few moments and after a full half second of intense thought she said ******** it, go for broke. "Sure why not. Its a date." She said and gestured at the girl. "Is there anywhere you dreamed of specifically for a date?" She asked her with a little sparkle in her eyes that said she was up to something. "I can make that a reality. If you trust me anyway. Want to visit the mountains? Maybe the beach of waves? We can go through without pause. Without ever leaving this booth." She said pushing a napkin around with her finger on the table.

Kiyoko went back to blushing as Taka suggested she let the girls free. She shook her head quickly at that as she wanted to keep her decency. Then upon hearing how it was a date she smiled barely containing her joy. She had never been on a date before and wondered how it was supposed to go. The unknown world was unfolding for her and it was magnificent. She briefly wondered how her mom and dad met. "Not really... Just a normal one is fine." She said as she was more than happy to do the simple dates. "So... What do we talk about?" She asked curiously as she scratched the back of her head.
"You talk about anything you wish;" the older nin said raising her glass a moment. "Gossip, stories, past experiances, future plans. Anything is fair game in a conversation. Especially if you have proposed a relationship between the two individuals." She said, actually quite happy that the girl would settle for the down to earth date that was happening rather than the mental trip she was prepared to give her. Being a mistress of the mental arts did have its perks. "So yeah, pretty much anything you like. For example, Im from konohagakure and Im here for no real reason other than to get out of the forest a little while." Taka said to the girl as they moved on with her date. By the end of the date takas cheeks were a little flushed and she was speaking less. Her head was a little cloudy but she was in good spirits. She might have triggered some of her drunken fist on accident or it could be natural forces at work but she was in a good mood. "That was lovely." She said quietly as she wiped her mouth with her napkin.

__ A mob of hyperactive, blue-headed knuckleheads arrived en masse behind the well-known tea shoppe. The large warehouse offered a pretty nice bit of shade- an excellent place for snakes to nest and get out of the desert heat when desired. Of course, Animal Planet factoids of the Irwin variety weren't necessary with a sensor of Zhi's aptitude. With seven of her in the same place, this mission from Lady Bastet would be a cinch! ** MISSION - Snake Pit Danger [ 1/4 Posts | START ]
The seven of them spent their time waiting for Hikaru and Tetsuhiko to catch up by wandering away to the places where the snakes were burrowed or hiding. With all the spots located, their team as a whole could wrap this job up in a jiffy! Then there'd be even more time left in the rest of the day to see what else their teacher could give them to do! This was the glory of such a thing as efficiency! ** MISSION - Snake Pit Danger [ 2/4 Posts | ONGOING ]
_______________ ≎Out Of Context≎ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Enter
__Hikaru took some Ibuprofen before he arrived at the mission location. He was going to need some in order to deal with seven Zhi's at the same time. This was no jab at her, he actually liked her quite a bit. But one Zhi was enough dialogue for a band of seven. To actually be a band of seven meant that the entire village could be silent except for them and our neighboring villages in the land of winds would still make noise complains. (1/4)
Nonetheless, Hikaru appeared. He body flickered in between two of them as they just finished crossing each other in their pacing. The two would feel medical chakra lightly coat their body and heal them of minor injuries. He didn't bother to ask her if she found them. His eyes could see a few, and whatever was unseen the boy was sure Zhi took note of with her sensory abilities. Boy was his life easier with her having those amazing powers. With calm eyes and a relaxed tone he waited for Tetsuhiko to appear. There was no doubt this mission would go easily, and he couldn't wait to be done with it. (2/4)
__ Tetsuhiko and Penthesilia appeared at the tea shoppe as he noticed Hikaru and several Zhis gearing up for the mission. They had entered a dingy warehouse which seemed to be a breeding ground for slithery undesirables. As he walked and used his magnetic field he manipulated Penthesilia to walk in lockstep with him. Tetsuhiko found snakes to be useful symbolism in his playwriting for cunning or deceit, but pests in reality. (1/4)
As the Iron Prince and the metal marionette walked in unison they investigated as many infected areas as possible. Tetsuhiko burrowed his nose in his cologne drenched cravat wrapped around his neck. The pleasant smell helped to ward off the molding smell of the warehouse. "Very little art in this mission." He thought with a sigh as he finished looking through all of the areas that Zhi and Hikaru had not gotten to yet. (2/4)
_______________ ☼Out Of Context☼ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Tetsuhiko enters the stage!
__ As her friends arrived Zhi and her clones were finishing up taking their positions. The clones that Hikara appeared next to shivered when they felt the rejuvenating aura wash over them, even though they weren't at all hurt. Each clone's position marked the location of at least one snake, and they would point toward others as needed. The rest of Team Bastet were doing their part to locate the infestation of snakes too. Now, they had to figure out how to remove the threat entirely. ** MISSION - Snake Pit Danger [ 3/4 Posts | ONGOING ]
Zhi herself looked around at their current crew of nine snake wranglers. Considering what she knew about her own and her teammates' abilities, she suddenly had a genius idea on how to take care of these snakes as humanely as possible. "I WILL BE RIGHT BACK!" In a blue blur Zhi vanished then came back minutes later. Zhi dumped several terrariums with the full lighting and heating setups from her hand's seal. She pointed over to Hikaru and shouted, "H-Daug! Don't forget to pay back the pet store at the Superdome for these! I kinda put it on your tab!! Heheh heh..." Zhi distributed the tanks to each over clones who quickly worked to toss the snakes in them. Sure, they were slithery and strange, but Zhi is the girl who thinks Shukaku is adorable. This was nothing in comparison. Her friends could help with evenly distributing the wild snakes into the tanks. When they were all done they could all take a walk back to the pet store to sell the snakes back. Maybe they'd make a profit... or at least break even? This equipment was kinda pricey... ** MISSION - Snake Pit Danger [ 4/4 Posts | FINISH ]
__Hikaru watched as one of the Zhi's disappeared. Where could she be going? Before he had much thought to respond, the original appeared once more. She then re-appeared with several snake cages and caught them all up. The boy smiled at the efficiency of the plan. (3/4)
Then Hikaru's heart dropped. Did Zhi just say that all of the expenses were put on him? How much money did she think he had? Yes he could make money, but that required chakra. Hikaru hated having to use that technique. Nonetheless, paper ryo formed in his hand. The boy gave enough of it to the clone closest to him. "Let me know if it's not enough." He said with a sigh. He hated having to use that much chakra. It just seemed like a waste to him. (4/4)
__ When Zhi disappeared and shortly thereafter reappeared with numerous equipment Tetsuhiko grinned. He then looked over at the moneymaker, Hikaru. with his wry smile. "Looks like your paper is finally good for something...making glorious money!" Tetsuhiko's favorite thing in the world was art,but money had to take second place. After all, he could use money to fund extravagent art projects. From his noble upbringing Tetsuhiko learned how to collect money and how to be strategic with it. Although, once Tetsuhiko received his money those lessons would go right on the window once a new creative idea struck his wimsy. (3/4)
The Iron Prince then manipulated Penthesilia to grab some snakes and place them into the tanks. "I hope sensei didn't expect moi to touch these filthy creatures!" The thespian then struck a dramatic pose as he continued to manipulate Penthesilia to assist Zhi. Thanks to his puppets,Tetsuhiko would never need to do any labor. Tetsuhiko was completely unwilling to blister his smooth hands because that would just interfere in his clay making! (4/4)
__ Zhi and her clones quickly collected the terrariums after all the snakes she could sense were found and captured. "Alright! Let's go tell sensei that everything is super special awesome 'round here!" The clones finished sealing the terrariums away so they could sell them back to the pet store they put up a tab for Hikaru at. They cheered in synchronous agreement, "Yeah! Let's go!!" Zhi and her clones filed out of the warehouse like a rapid-fire of blue blurs.
__ With this objective completed Tetsuhiko left the area in pursuit of the training grounds. His Penthesilia was also in tow as he quickly made his way back.
