Shu Territory

 

[Hoshi_Mibu]

Takato sat shirtless on rock underneith the rushing waterfall as he meditated silently, he obliveous to the world around him yet still able to sense danger should it come along. He had been on a training trip for a week now and he was currently training in the mountains of Shu. So far Takato had trained in nearly every area to learn the season's and how to use terrain to his advantage. The mountains were the last ones he needed to master before he went on to the last part of his training.

Ling sat under a tree talking to herself, "No! I will never try and escape from the kingdom again! Never!" She swore to herself, a determined glint in her eye. Her hair was ruffled and her parasol hung lossely in her hand.  

[Hoshi_Mibu]

Escape from the territory? Thought Takato snapping out of his meditation. Leaving the water fall he grabbed his shirt as he went to investige just whom had been talking about escape. After a short walk he came to find the Emperors daughter sitting under a tree. "Your Grace," said Takato kneeling on his knee in respect after walking out from the trees.  

[cherrisoda]

Ling squealed in surprise to see Takato, "Takato! You surprised me! I told you, you don't need to kneel in front of me and use my real name!"
 

[Hoshi_Mibu]

"Sorry Ling, I am so used to formality it is an automatic thing for me," said Takato with a smile as he stood up.  

[cherrisoda]

Ling grinned, "Well, you don't need to do it..." She struggled to think of a better comeback and sighed when she found none, "Anyway! What shall we do on this fine day?"  

[Hoshi_Mibu]

"I'm not sure, what would you like to do? So far all I have been doing is training," said Takato still smiling as he awaited Ling's reply, the girl always had great ideas.  

[cherrisoda]

"Wow! Training for soooooo long? You must be tired! Hmmm...what to do..." Ling thought for a moment, "Er...How about...Skipping rocks in the lake and the swimming and then catching tadpoles and then making bouquets and flower chains for father and everyone at the kingdom!" Ling grinned.  

[Hoshi_Mibu]

Takato chuckled before saying "sounds like a plan, shall we get started?" The tadpole part sounded exceptionally good, it was something he use to do for training, untill he had mastered it.  

[cherrisoda]

"Yes! Let's!" She exclaimed and started skipping the way towards the lake, swinging her arms as well, "It shan't take long!"  

[Hoshi_Mibu]

Takato shook his head with a smile before following Ling over to the lake, dropping his shirt and rolling up his pant legs he wadded into the water eyes trained looking for the tadpoles.  

[cherrisoda]

Ling jumped into the water and desperately tried looking for tadpoles, "Er...I don't think I can find any...besides, we don't have a bowl or anything to carry them in!"  

[Hoshi_Mibu]

"We can still catch them if you'd like. Here I've got one now," Said Takto removing his hands from the water to hold out a tadpole.  

[cherrisoda]

"Oh!" she exclaimed and was about to hold out her hand for the tadpole but then she withdrew her hands, "Just wait a second. I've got an idea."
She walked off near some trees and started making a bowl with the leaves, ((Yeah, well they might not be that big but... >.>; ))"Here! We can put them in here!" She said and filled the bowl with water.
