He could hear the shaky calmness all around him. People able to relax and settle their nerves after a sudden attack of undead warriors, imps, and more that sought out the cleric responsible for keeping the inn safe from the cursed lands he currently walked along with another. A canteen set next to him on the table as the uchihaβs eyes stared down at the table. One may say he wasnβt quite there with an empty gaze. Currently lost in his thoughts, he was questioning the next move as he knew this would not be the last attempt on this clericβs life. The grace of Selune would only go so far, right?
Onyx hues finally lifted up as a few ideas finally came to mind on a couple of moves. Heβd have some information to gather first, but he had a basic foundation to build off of. His quest for his memories would have to wait. First, he needed to recover his stamina. Prolonged battles were not ideal for him as it seemed his body, at times, could not keep up with him. It almost felt like a body battle worn with no chance to rest. May it be a great battle that severely injured him or maybe even an illness that crippled his stamina. Each passing day, he could feel some strength returning. Even so, the curse of these lands and that fight to protect the cleric had strained him to the point he had to revert his usual three tomoe red hues back to the regular onyx to recover. The less strain on him, the better.
For now, all that was left to do was call this an evening. There was no point in heading out after that fight, and they would be better off to stick around in case something else happened. Not to mention he was certain they earned their place here to rest. Best for him as he doubted he could do much out there in the cursed lands, anyway. Reaching out, he would get a drink from his canteen before setting it down and looking around the room. They all needed help. Simply leaving them all like this brought an anxiety to him, a feeling that he wouldnβt just let others suffer like this. They all needed to be free. A Shinobi with only a foreign name attached to him. He had the power. He just needed the way. And alongside β¦. He had only realized something rather important. His company on this journey did not seem to be nearby.
βI was so lost in thoughts, I allowed her to roam free. So long as she behaves herself..β
