What a drag...

Golden eyes watched the boy as he crouched down at Klarion’s feet. He wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but it wasn’t that.  He’d never seen… green energy like that before. Quintessence was usually golden in color. Or purple if it was negatively manipulated. Green was new, but it took the pain away like normal Quintessence should. He still couldn’t help but be curious about it though.

Once inside Klarion couldn’t help but look around in awe. It was nothing like the living quarters he was used to. He bunked with five other Galra and had very little personal belongings. Though he assumed by now all his things were thrown out to make room for any new Blade member. They weren’t going to go looking for him, they never looked for others that had disappeared. They were always presumed dead.

"They do." He nodded before slowly sitting up on the couch, patting the cushion beside him in case the other wanted to sit somewhere more comfortable.

Shikadai looked around, afraid that his parents would have suddenly come back from their missions. Once he saw it was safe, he stretched and arm to gently place it on Klarion's arm, guiding him inside the house.

Shikadai hummed under his breath. He had really thought the other to be much older than he was. But eight years wasn't that bad, even if it did seem a lot to the child.

Klarion’s body was covered in a very thin fur, not really visible to the eye with the exception of it getting longer and thicker around his ears and the tip of his tail. The lavender colored hair was like velvet and where it got thicker it was still fine and soft almost like a kitten. His long tail wrapped its way around Shikadai’s waist in an attempt to help steady the child.

Shikadai gasped as the tail wrapped around his waist. It was an unknown feeling, but not unwelcome, specially when he was basically standing on wobbly legs at this point.

"Uh..." The child bit his lower lip as he looked at the creature, he weighed his options knowing that it truly wasn't completely safe to just go with the other. But so far he had been proved that Klarion was trustworthy. So the boy gently got on the other's back.

Once he was done, Shikadai’s breathing was labored and his hands were shaking. He had to sit down on the grass to take some deep breaths and to regain his strength. He knew he must have looked pale, at least a little paler than before.

Chakra? He’d never heard of it before. Though the boy’s explanation of it cleared up any confusion. It was Quintessence, this planet’s inhabitants must have had a different name for it. He carried a small vile of it himself, for emergencies. A sprained ankle wasn’t an emergency and luckily now he wouldn’t have to deal with it. The child’s tired expression was concerning though.

Shikadai was far too tired for the small amount of chakra he had used. He truly wasn't an expert at it like aunt Sakura or a genius like Sarada. But becoming a medical nin sounded truly interesting.
