The two walked through the busy streets of the crowd on the weekend trying to find something to do on their day off. Hyoujin, even though he was taller than most in the crowd and could easily see, still kept Akarui on top of his shoulders to give them a better view of things. They bob and weaved through most people, only occasionally bumping into someone who either apologized profusely to them or would give them a pissed off look. It was a grey and cold day in Kumogakure as it just had snowed the day before and people seemed more annoyed than usual because of it. Hyoujin dressed warmly for the weather; sweatpants and long johns underneath and a tight fitting shirt to keep in the body heat with a black hoodie on top. On his head he wore a silver beanie that was underneath the hood. Akarui was dressed in the same fashion but in different shades of pink and purple and wore a sweatshirt instead of a hoodie and a rather large jacket for her age overtop of that. Either way, the two mostly ignored everyone while scanning over the different markets and booths that setup shop in the Dawnbringer's Plaza. "Onii-chan!" Akarui said excitedly, pointing towards a booth that was about twenty feet away or so. She kept pointing over and over to it while tapping him on the shoulder with her other hand.
"Eh?" He said in a somewhat annoyed tone as his mind went from thinking of the cute nurse that works as a receptionist, to trying to find what it was Akarui was pointing at. "Alright, alright just quit poking me dammit!" He kept saying loudly at the girl, trying to swat away her hands as she kept poking his shoulders to make him move towards the shop. When they made their way there he saw what it was she was so captivated by. Oni Or rather, only masks of different types of Oni. He was somewhat surprised that someone actually had a shop setup considering the not so far off events of the past. Still he had to admit, the masks did look very stylish and interesting. The that caught his eye the most was a red mask with a thick white stripe down the middle of the face. It's horns were long and thin as well as it's chin.
"Onii-chan!" Akarui called out to him again, who seemed to somehow leave his shoulders at one point in time without him even knowing it. He looked down to his right and saw her holding up a pink Oni mask that a red dot on each cheek and small curved horns on top of its head. "Pweeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase?" She begged, tugging at the sleeve of his hoodie.
"One second, kid." He said in a somewhat robotic tone, he wasn't really paying attention to what Akarui was doing now but was rather captivated by another mask he had found and then he quickly snapped out of whatever trance he was in. He looked down at Akarui and then at the mask she was holding again. "Yeah alright lets get it." He pulled out his sack of money from his hoodie and paid the man at the shop for both masks the two had picked up, as well as the other mask that caught Hyoujin's attention just moments ago.
