Ayumu had woken up some time shortly after noon to his stomach growling. Now, the ANBU's super secret headquarters had a cafeteria built in, and the cooks were nice enough, but the food was rarely anything to write home about. Ayumu often ate there when he was pressed for time or had a mission, but this was his last day off before the promotion mission. He had prepared everything he needed already, perhaps a bit too hastily, just so he could take a break before heading out. It was a warm day, partly cloudy so the sun wasn't beating down on Kumogakure too hard, and a light breeze was blowing. The smell of food drifted on that breeze, carrying an assortment of appetite bolstering aromas straight to Ayumu's nostrils.
Ayumu stopped in the middle of the street, just to take in the sun and the delicious smells. A man who had been walking behind Ayumu cursed at the sudden stop and trudged around him, but Ayumu couldn't have cared less. He stretched his arms to the sky and enjoyed the warmth on his arms. "Ahhhhhhhh, what a great day!" he exclaimed, drawing a few stares which he promptly ignored. He had removed his impending mission from his mind entirely for the time being. Now he had to decide what to eat. He began scanning the plaza, trying to identify the sources of the various aromas. Nearest to him was a small stand selling teriyaki chicken on sticks. Of course this was no lunch, but he couldn't stop himself for going for the instant gratification.
"Three, please!" he said, marching up to the stand as the most recent customer stepped away. He noted the price listed and pulled out his wallet, collecting the right total and placing it on the counter. In exchange he received a small tray with three skewers laden with teriyaki chicken pieces. "Thank you for your patronage!" the man said before turning to the next customer. Ayumu popped one of the skewers in to his mouth and pulled off a piece of delicious tangy chicken. "Mmmmmm," he said as he enjoyed the flavor, turning around and walking over to a bench to sit and eat. He dropped back on to the bench and pulled another piece of a skewer.
