Walking around, he heard the creatures of the area as they milled about. Now living at Tea for some time, he became familiar with actual plant life rather than desert cacti and other sand-based flora, but still walking around in the middle of a forest full of life is still a mind-boggling experience for him. He fixed the strappings of his rifle, a way to fend himself against any animals or other sort of things or people might target him, and also made sure that newspaper article he found at Tea was on his person as he wandered through the Forest.
Now he may have come with the idea of finding out what happened with this Maru guy, but who said that he can't have fun on the way to him? That Obi Wan Shinobi at the Village Gates talked about the Lolli Kage. From just listening around town, Obi Wan Shinobi might be a little bit off his rockers as nobody even mentions a 'Lolli Kage', only this Hokage chick. He stopped in his tracks, hokage.... kage.... ah, that's a leader person of a Village. Might be good to find a way to contact this Hokage after he is done vibing at this Forest.
