Inquiry and Answers [Private]

Arashi stood calmly in the hallway occupying the space near the Sennin's Office door, his body leaning against a wall while his eyes looked out of a window out into the village. He had fleeting thoughts yet there was a main reason to why he came here today to seek an audience with the Medical Sennin. Arashi was not wearing his shinobi gear neither was he in possession of his usual weapons, but stood in customary mourning attire for those of his clan. This meant that he was wearing a hooded gi top and a baggy gi bottom, both of which were pitch black with the exception of the Raitoningu Clan's Seal stitched onto the back of his shirt. The hood was partially on his head, his spiky unkempt white hair protruding out the front end. While he lacked his sheaths and blades, he did have one belt pouch resting along his lower backside, which was not unsual for shinobi to have even when they weren't in full dress.

His head would tilt slightly as the sound of plastic being unwrapped filtered through his ears, a neon green sucker producing itself from within which caught the full attention of his gaze. It was one of a few which had become a memento from his deceased sister, the last thing she would give him before she died. The flavor was well known by his taste buds as his addiction to sweets was something that was fully matured, the color telling him it was green apple. Placing the item into his mouth, his lips expressed a relaxed look before a sigh escaped from between them.

The flavor was bitter...as they had all been since Ejji was killed.

Kitsune was sitting behind her desk, shuffling papers around like a professional paperpusher, stamping approval forms and signing documents left and right. Hanako sat in the front office, looking around as she sensed someone nearby. ”Can I help you?” she asked once she spotted the young shinobi standing around as if he was waiting for someone. If he was waiting for Kitsune to come out of her office, he’d be waiting a looooong time, considering all the paperwork she had to handle today. There were registrations, approval forms, budget approvals, equipment requests, everything really. And with Kitsune being the kind of Sennin that sometimes just left her office to do more hands-on work, it wasn’t always easy to know where she were.

[legend="Hmmm"]His gaze tracked over towards the female near the desk, someone he hadn't of noticed or neglected to notice when he arrived. Shifting the position of the candy from one cheek to the other, he noted that the bitter taste still lingered which was unfortunate for his tastebuds. Pocketing both his palms, he'd make his way to the desk and state his purpose very clearly in a calm tone.

"Raitoningu Arashi here to speak to the Medical Sennin about the circumstances revolving around my sister, Raitoningu Ejji's death."[/legend]

 

[Shinrya Kitsune]

Hanako used the intercom to let Kitsune know Arashi was here to see her, and that it was about his sister’s death. At first there was no response at all, but then came the order to send him right in. Kitsune herself began putting papers into piles, and the more sensitive ones were quickly put away in a drawer, you never knew when visitors decided to peek at documents. ”Arashi-kun. Nice to meet you. My assistant said it was about your sister’s death. So, have a seat and let’s talk, hm~?” she said in a chipper tone, entirely disguising her actual mood to have this particular topic shoved upon her.
Sure she wasn’t responsible for the kids death, but she also didn’t move a muscle to save her. In essence, shit had happened, and there’s nothing to do about it now.

Arashi would disgard the candy sucker into a bin prior to entering the sennin's office, the look on his face unchanged from the very look he had outside of the room (Sig/Ava is a good reference to his facial expression for this topic). He had that look in his eyes, one that had been cried out by the tears of mourning and had not recovered from the pain he had suffered. Anyone who had known a close lost would recognize Arashi's look yet also understand the deeper anger that was boiling behind his eye's pupils. The person behind the desk, the medical sennin was unknown to him as he had never seen or heard of her beyond the occasion reference. When she offered him a seat, he calmly took the offer. His posture in the chair was far from one someone would take if they were here for everyday conversation. Instead his body leaned forwards slightly while both sets of fingertips pressed against the other.

”Arashi-kun. Nice to meet you. My assistant said it was about your sister’s death. So, have a seat and let’s talk, hm~?”

"A sister, a daughter, a granddaughter, a cousin, a friend...a comrade. Ejji was all these things to multiple people and because she was taken away our clan has an open wound. We're shinobi, been shinobi for generations so loss of a loved one is nothing new...however with that said...when your loved one is killed right here within the village there is a certain pain that cannot be resolved. My father and mother still mourn, my mother moreso because she was the one who suggested Ejji be present at the meeting in representation of our clan to hear about Hayata Shin's proposed changes to Kumogakure's political structure. So imagine how we feel when she is killed there and the only thing we receive is a body, her sword....and her bloodied headband."

The last few words spoken from his lips were cracked slightly, his tone breaking up momentarily because the notion of her return was painful and provoked some anger honestly. Another thing that was unsettling to him was how after the events which happened it was as if Ejji's death was only to be known by the clan and a select few. There were no accounts as to a genin being killed among the Raikage and former Sennin, neither were their mentions that despite the obvious difference in skill present that Ejji had upheld her duty as a shinobi of Kumogakure.

"I am here as representation of the Raitoningu Clan to ask for answers regarding the nature and events leading to Raitoningu Ejji's death."[/legend]
