[･･･] Inka leaned back in his chair, one arm sliding off of the desk to gently fall into his lap, the other propping its elbow on an arm rest to hold up his head. The Mizukage ignored the urge to properly copy Severin's pose - to lean in as if entirely engaged in the event unfolding before him. Inka remained silent, one eyebrow cocked in quiet intrigue, and lips twisted up into a crooked version of his usual amused smirk. Gold eyes, darkened by the flecks of red and hooded gaze, watched Severin's hands fidget, the Genin obviouisly comtemplating something. Raigyo came up with a question Inka didn't see coming, cocking his eyesbrow higher, and gaze to lighten. He didn't answer straight away, allowing a few beats and being rewarded with a continuation to the question - and Inka's eyes narrowed sharply, gold eyes looking complete red now, matching the look of warning that briefly flashed over the Hizara's features.
Inka took a second to readjust himself in his chair, head tilting back slightly to fully regard the Genin in front of him.
"Lord Satoshi Hatake, Lady Mi Young Ro, and Lords Sypher Senju and Jack Snipe were kages who did not give up their Shinobi duties." On the Sandaime's name, Inka's throat visibly clenched, barely distoring the words of his presumed dead lover and father to their son. "Not only is it now expected of myself to remain fighting fit, but I am in a role where I am constantly watched and looked to. What example would I set to rest on my laurals? Jack Snipe left a nomination for I to take this seat. The council agreed. The Water Daimyo agreed. To turn them down would be to turn down the will of the village. Of this Land. I would not insult them in such a way. And I will not dissapoint by doing less than my best." At this, Inka forced himself to relax some more, visibly melting back into his chair a little more. "They desire to replace me, I will not argue." And this his smirk twisted to something softer - almost a real smile. "They know I'd rather be spending time with my son."
Inka deliberately didn't bring up Severin's own family - how easily it would have been to twist the pain of the Raigyo clan member's family to make a point. Inka has lost his sister, his first good friend, students, his only love, and had witnessed hints of atrocities committed against the boy who, for all intents and purposes bar blood itself, was the Kage's son. Whatever pain was in the Genin seated before the Godaime, Inka left it alone. Instead, he said; "Everyone in Kiri has lost something. Myself included. Most know some of my pain, and know my actions are built from it." Inka pauses for a moment, considering Severin with a guarded expression. "Loss, pain - it builds empathy. Empathy builds understanding. The more they understand me, the easier it is for them to trust me. Or not." He tilted his head to Severin.

Severin closed his eyes, reflecting on Inka's words. It was clear he struck a chord, part of him regretted it but another part of him was almost glad. he kept his eyes closed, even for some time after Inka finished speaking. "I see." It's all he could muster, he couldn't formulate the words in his mind properly, oh how he wished his mother was still here, to tell him how to act. He opened his eyes slightly, his eyes downcast, not looking at Inka this time. He had a son, it was so strange to him. Inka didn't seem much older than him, yet he had a son. The thought of ever having children seemed like a distant dream, a family... He honestly could never see himself in a relationship and thus, would most likely be the last of his family line. "Family is precious, I respect that. I know that now more than ever, I think."
Severin let out a soft sigh, straightening himself up in the chair and looking upward at Inka once more, "I have only one last question, my lord. I won't keep you for much longer, I'm sure there's much more important things to do then sit here and chat with me." He thought for a moment, trying to form his next question with a bit more tact than the other ones. He was never good at this, never good at trying to get close to people, to form relationships and bonds. Superficial relationships based on physical attraction? Those he was good at, but these kind of meaningful connections, those he always failed at. "What does being a shinobi mean to you? For some we are just weapons, for some we are justice for those who cannot get justice on their own. How do you see us?"

[･･･] Inka shifted forward slightly, elbow propped up on the arm rest once again - this time to hide his mouth with a hand instead of holding his head up in the palm. The Godaime saw his words had made an impact on the Raigyo clan member. Perhaps too much so. A small sigh escaped Inka, silent and disguised. He had been too emotional with the younger male, touched raw nerves he knew would flare like acid at the smallest breeze. Especially where family was concerned. Inka gave a slow blink, eyes focused and sharp despite the lazy gesture. He gave a small nod, showing his allowance for Severin's question, but again remaining quiet so as to not put any further pressure on the Raigyo. The next question... ah, that was often asked by many and a simple answer was never fully encompassing, not truly.
"Severin Raigyo," Inka spoke softly, voice hushed as though speaking some great secret. "Nothing is more important to myself as the Mizukage as the wellbeing of my fellow shinobi." His eyes softened, and his shoulders melted down slightly, a look that could only really be described as paternal concern and care now overtaking the former Shakuton. He tilts his head, lips as close to a smile as any smirk could be. "And that includes sitting down and getting to know them." And there, the softest, sadest smile Inka has let show for some time now. Gold eyes blink and the Godaime leans forward, elbows resting the desk, the smile melting off into neutrality.
"We are our own purpose." He answered cryptically. "What the title of Genin, Jounin, Shinobi means - it is nothing compared to our own will. So," Inka tilts his head, gold eyes void of the red flecks. "Right now, I see you, Severin. I see you." Inka ducks his head a little, to lessen the impact of his gaze, assumes it to be too intense in its honesty. But he keeps that molten gaze on the Genin, conveying without words what he hopes is interpreted as acceptance.

Inka's answer was a good one, and it caused a warm smile to fill his face, seeming almost to melt away his icy features. Inka's gaze was intense, but staring back at him were bright sky blue hues, matching that accepting look, Inka had begun to win him over. Severin stood, once again giving the Mizukage a bow. He could see himself serving under this man, learning what it meant to be a good person from him. "I enjoyed our talk, Inka. I hope we have another soon enough, to continue this... Challenge." His smile turned in to a slight smirk before he straightened. "Is there anything you would need from me before I take my leave, my lord?" He awaited the Mizukage's response, once again pushing those pesky locks from his face. He thought for a moment about how he should probably put his hair up more, but then it wouldn't flow behind him like liquid moonlight.

[･･･] Inka gave a soft scoff, hand coming up to rub away the amusement that was clear as daylight on the twist of his mouth. Challenge, Severin had called it. Sure. "Sure," he smirked, small huff of amusement escaping him as his hands returned to work on the papers before him. "Ready yourself for a mission. I'll be assigning yourself to a squad soon. Be battle ready, understood?" Gold eyes flicked up to Severin, briefly. Assessing. With a small nod, as though confirming something to himself, Inka's focus fully returned to his work. "You'll lose free access to missions board once you are assigned to a squad. Make the most of it."

The amusement was a win for Sev, as was the look on Inka's face. The small victory brought a warmth in him that he hadn't felt for a long while, he was enjoying himself. He almost forgot what that sensation felt like, a break in the misery and regret. "I will. And Inka?" Severin stopped for a moment, seeming to second guess himself on his words. He simply shook his head. "Nevermind. See you soon, my lord." With that he walked out, got his headband and his tattoo, and made an exit towards the hospital. Maybe he'd finally get to thank Kagerou for everything she did for him.

How did a cat make his way into the office? No one could say, but it was probably magic. The hefty feline, standing over a foot tall even when on all fours, strolled through like he owned the place, eyes glancing side to side in a manner that one could only describe as haughty. In a room full of ninja, it didn't take long for someone, several someones, to notice the full grown cat's presence. However, also as a room full of ninja, it wasn't necessarily strange for animals to be wandering about. Those who noticed the cat winding between their legs simply assumed that it was the partner of a Kiri shinobi. Their assumption wouldn't have been completely off, either. The cat, this currently completely normal cat, did belong to a Kirigakure kunoichi, Kagerou. Although, to call him her partner would have been rather... much. It was questionable if the forest cat was even registered under any of Kagerou's files. Kageoru certainly did not have the time or feel the need to do so.
Among the many other legs the cat purred and rubbed across in his conquest of the office, he would at last wind himself around Severin's legs as the genin turned to leave, perhaps nearly tripping him as cats were wont to do. With the way the cat leered backwards as his tail lingered behind, flicking across the legs of the human as he managed to successfully step through without skipping a beat, it may have almost seemed as the white cat had actually wanted to trip the man with silver locks. Then again, a cat was just a cat, and Severin had left without a hitch.
After bothering the leaving Severin, it was Inka's turn next. The white haired feline's two odd eyes, one blue and one green, stared up at the seated Inka before approaching. Earlier, this cat had seen another working at a desk, Krissella to be exact. However, the secretary seemed too formidable of a foe, a dangerous toy to mess with. The smart cat, preferring life to curiosity in this one case, had steered clear of that woman. However, this man seemed safer, much safer for reasons unknown. Granted, that wasn't difficult to achieve considering the danger level that cat had assigned to the Mizukage's secretary. Anyways, in that ever so important manner, the cat slid his way over to the foot of Inka's desk, and upon getting close enough, jumped atop of it in one fluid motion. To claim his new throne, the long-haired feline king sauntered to the center of the desk, staring Inka straight into his gold (and possible red flecked?) eyes the entire time. He, the cat that is, sat in that center without breaking eye contact, regardless of what paper or other supplies may have already been occupying that space. If there was something that truly prevented him from sitting, he simply knocked it away with his paw to make room, his movements bearing that ever-present feline grace.
The cat meowed.
I Tortured Sleep I
(OOC: Cat almost tripped you, or maybe it was tried to trip you? Who knows? Anyways, it failed, but I thought you oughta know that it happened.)
[･･･] Inka blinked, seeing something out of the corner of his eye, and looked up- whut. Gold and red-flecked eyes widened, entranced as the overly larger-than-the-normal-housecat waltzed on over towards him. The Mizukage Godaime didn't move, even as the feline launched itself to perch atop his desk, stepping on piles and prowling over small piles of folders. Neither of them blinked, though Inka's right eye twitched at the outer corner in seeing his cup of pens being tipped over and away of the cat's path. The feline sat, right on top of his nearly completed draft of a letter to the Hokage - and meowed at him.
Inka blinked.
Slowly, Inka raised his dominant hand, and offered it to the cat to sniff. "Krisella...?" Inka called, voice filled with caution and the uncertainty as to what was going on. It wasn't a loud call, not wanting to startle the animal. "Do we have a cat?" The Mizukage was pretty sure the Sero offices did not have a cat. Once it was deemed safe, and accepted, Inka's hand moved to gently rub an ear. Hetro... No, heterochromia? Two different coloured eyes. Not something Inka saw every day - and very distinctive. "Who do you own..." He softly spoke to the cat.

The cat's head leaned just a little bit backwards when the hand approached the first time. His ears flattened against his head in caution, and remained that way until the hand stopped and stayed stopped. Glaring at the object that dared to intrude his personal bubble, the lord-like feline scrutinized the human appendage. In the end, he decided to show mercy and give it a chance, or rather a sniff. The hand certainly smelled like no fancy feast, so if it wasn't giving him food, then clearly it was supposed to be petting him. As if on cue, the hand moved towards his ear, and the cat's head did not resist, at first leaning with the force of the hand as it settled on his head and then leaning against the force of the hand as it continued to give his ear a very satisfactory rub
The neck of the feline, now completely exposed in response to the rubbing, bore no signs of a collar, much less any overt means of identification. Again, a fault of Kagerou's because she had neither the time nor the thought. The cat's fur, also, would suggest that he was not one to spend much time indoors, if at all. Beneath his fingers, Inka would feel a pelt that had been taken care of very well by a cat's tongue, but perhaps missing the touch of a human's brush to ease away the rough edges created by the wind and dust of the outdoors.
However, where a collar would be, it would seem that a single, long strand of green hair had somehow looped itself loosely around the cat's neck, so light that the cat had not realized and so nestled into the fur that the wind and self-cleaning had yet to dispose of it. It was a vestige from when the white cat had been rolling around in Kagerou's room, which while clean, could not completely avoid having several strands of Kagerou's hair just lying around.
The pleased cat purred as he leaned further into the rub, taking a step and then two towards Inka. First the blue eye closed and then the green. He had no answer to Inka's question. Of course he didn't. He was just a cat, after all.

KrissellaThanderveldt Kirigakure's Secretary
___ Krisella cocked her head, ears sharp and eyes narrowing to be even sharper upon hearing Inka's softly called question. She finished the notes she was taking down at the same time she was moving to stand, pen being neatly place to the side with one hand as she picked up the small stack of stamped documents with another. With crips, clean, clicks of her shoes, the secretary entered Inka's office. Her pace nearly falted at the sight of the... animal perched atop possibly highly classified documents - not to mention the fact that the animal is probably riddled with bacteria from pawing around outside - traces of mud and lords above know what else being traped about and over precious paper that she would be handling with her bare hands.
___ "Lord Hizara," Krisella's tone was melodic and low, and quartz eyes watched Mizukage flinch back from the cat with a guilty look. "Have you always been so easily distracted by foriegn animals?" She asked. Inka's lips pulled a look that she would have called a pout if on child. Krisella had made her way over to the desk, shooing the feline away with a charp snap of her wrist - though it went no-where near the dirst-covered creature. "At least Itoko has the decency to not walk on the furniture." She added, eyes unblinking and focused on the animal. Inka gave a small, indignant "huff, his hand now gently scratching the cat's neck.
___ "Didn't realise our security was so lax as to let animals just come and go as they please in this tree." He quipped back. Krisella saw, by the drop of Inka's shoulders, that the Kage meant for no heat to be in his words. It still caused a small snap of rightious fury in the woman. The security risks were apparant... "Besides," He continued, amber eyes narrowing as he pulled his hands away with a strand longer than the cat's wrapped around his fingers - was that green string? Probably from a play toy. "I've never had a pet. Syy's big cat was so independent - and usually out in the wilds doing whatever it is big cats do. Itoko only tolerates me - I know it's Minowa he's comfortable with." Krisella couldn't stop the softening of her eyes so she covered it up with words instead.
___ "At least figure out who owns the thing before you go opening any S-Classed documents in front of it." She conceeded, placing down the fresh pile of documents on the Kage's desk. "Big child." She admonished Inka, earning a cheeky smirk that she turned her back to, returning to her own desk and work.
The entrance of Kirigakure's secretary created an immediate reaction in the white cat. He froze in place, one eye keeping a wary gaze on the frightful woman. As she approached, his back arched, and with the flick of a single hand, distant as it was, the cat was convinced to take a bounding leap straight over the rest of the desk and land all 14 of its pounds right into Inka's lap. The cat peered over the safety(?) of the desk at the dangerous threat as Krissella and Inka conversed. All the while, Inka rubbed his neck in a most satisfactory manner, so that the forest cat's face was veritably split in two. One half was purring with a closed eye, the neck inclined in such a way to encourage the hand to rub in just the right spots. The other half stared with one wary blue eye, a most disdainful expression making it known that he did not appreciate the presence of the fearsome woman.
Once Krissella left, though, it was back to business as usual. Regaining his dignity, the feline high-stepped out of Inka's lap, and to show his newfound trust in the man who had chased away the wicked witch, the tomcat sprawled his entire length across the desk. He was rolled over, belly up, and feeling very comfortable wriggling on top of the papers. It's a trap!
Taylor rubbed her temples with her thing and forefinger, shielding her eyes with her palm for a brief moment. She had to take another breath and calm her hive. It was a moment before she spoke, crossing her arms and iconic her chin just slightly. Subtly challenging without being outright defiant. "Couple things. One safety concern already popping up, and the other things. Let's get the safety or if the way. First of all. KikkaicHu hives react to the stress of their host. Getting in my face and elevating my heartstrings and bloodpressure with insults, berations, or being my academy instructor not only wastes time, but is somewhat hazardous. It puts the whole hive on alert, losses valuable resources in the form of energy to go into their that response mode." She said taking a moment to push her glasses up onto her nose better, catching the light and turning them into a shining barrier to hide her eyes behind.
"Second, you revealed my family name. Fot the moment our vip here hadn't known my family name. So you have away Intel. Now he knows we have an aburame and to expect kikkaicHu if something goes down." She said, moving her arms back into their crossed position.
"Third, I didn't ignore you or inkas sensei. Or the little boy that scrapped his knee down the street. Or that the mosquito opposing is decreasing in number. My hearing is excellent, and I have ears everywhere.
Finally. ..it's still dark. Our orders are at first light. I'd suggest getting traveling gear if we are going to konoha. Things that you might need. ..food. ..water. ..protection from the elements? Now I ask you. Want to try again with your baking? "

Kenshin barely reacted to his squadmate's little meltdown in front of him. "Too anxious, she cannot handle stress." The officer thought as he assessed her. He had a mission to do and the anxieties of the walking apiary should be the least of his worries. "You talk too much, soldier. Just listen to orders and try cleaning those bugs out of your ears next time. This is a critical mission and it is our duty to succeed for the Lord Mizukage, which is how you should address our great leader. Be ready by dawn or I will ensure that your insubordination is reported." He immediately turned around and began his march out,he had training to do and supplies to gather. Suddenly, he turned around and stared directly through her with steely gray eyes with no sign of mercy or compassion. "My eye is everywhere, if you break the law I will know and I will have a pair of shackles with your name on them." With that, he left the building in pursuit of his mission preparation.
Taylor visibly bristled to the comments., her hive alive and faintly audible as she pushed them back with some effort. She noted that he didn't deny any of her major points. But she did have a mission to do and now she ached to hit something. Her silence spoke volumes without putting her in a weaker position and she didn't leave his gaze until he walked away. Then she pushed herself off the wall and unfolded her arms. 'Putting me with a person like that. Are you angry with me sensei? Arrest me? Ok. That's fine. Job will get done anyway. Just more of the same stupI'd egotistical power trip bullshit.' she thought to herself. "Be ready by dawn. I need to prepare." she said quiety to the ambassador, walking towards the exit then to her apartment.
