"Yes...thankfully...though....there are days I would not put it past him to find a meal elsewhere.." He admitted awkwardly, rubbing an arm. "Though...that reminds me. Speaking of the tree, you must have an amazing sense of balance, Ayaka-san. That branch you were on was not very thick...to think you slept so long on it without falling.."

"Eh? You think so?" Ayaka asked, her initial look of mild incredulity fading into one of deep thought as she tried to think back to the time she remembered spending in the tree. "To be honest, I don't really remember it all that well," she admitted after a moment, still deep in thought. "I was already pretty tired when I climbed up there for a break, and I only woke up a couple seconds before you came up and caught me. It must have been comfortable enough for a tree, since I fell asleep there in the first place, but... "You really think it was that thin?"

"It certainly seemed that way...on both accounts." Speaking up after listening intently to her words, he nodded. "Though..I did not exactly have a lot of time to study it. I was...rather preoccupied.."

"Yeah, that's true," Ayaka agreed with a slight grin. "I'll have to go back sometime and see for myself. "But that reminds me... how'd you walk down the tree like that?" she asked, looking decidedly confused. "And why'd you fall as soon as I mentioned it?"

"I shall have to accompany you, then. In case you feel like a nap." Utsuro replied with the faintest of grins at the thought of her going back to the tree just to check a branch. At least she can use an arm as a reference..Ichi-sama!"Th-that....is actually a ninja technique...one of the more basic ones...it is taught in the Academy." He explained calmly, raising an arm vertically and walking his index and middle finger along it. "It involves channeling that Chakra... stuff... into your feet to create a sort of...seal...or 'glue' I guess you could call it..I am..not very good at it...like most things...so I really have no idea why or how I managed it that time.."

"Well, however you managed it, I'm glad you did," Ayaka said with a nod. "I think it would have hurt a lot if you hadn't gotten up there to catch me." Even if it did confuse her as to why everyone in this village seemed to enjoy picking her up. It wasn't like she was all that squeezeable, right? Not like that stuffed octopus. Whatever the reason was, though, she was wasn't kidding when she said she was glad Tsutomegi had been there to catch her. Thinking about falling all the way to the bottom of that tree made her shiver a little. "And who knows?" she asked, grinning a little. "Maybe this time you'll be the one who finds a good napping spot. It really is a comfortable tree, y'know."

A soft, dry chuckle, almost like a raspy cough, and Utsuro smiled faintly. "I shall take your word for it....are you cold?" He asked suddenly, noting her slight shiver.

".... no, not really... " Ayaka answered, wondering why he'd asked. "And... take your word for what? That you'd fall asleep up there? How would I know a thing like that?" Now she was just confused.

"I meant...that you would know whether the tree was comfortable...because you'd already slept in it...so..I could take your word for it." Utsuro was really beginning to wonder if this girl took everything said to her verbatim. It certainly seemed that way thus far, so clearly he would have to try harder yet to explain himself more clearly.

"....oh," Ayaka said simply, feeling a little silly for not realizing what he was talking about on her own. "Yeah, I guess. But... you might not think they're as comfortable as I do... I dunno if you like sleeping in trees or not... "But... ahhh.... I think I should go get cleaned up," she continued after a moment's pause. "If I wait any longer, I'll end up feeling even more tired, I think. And I don't think they'd like it if I fell asleep in there," she finished with a self-deprecating chuckle.

Utsuro nodded, shifting up and away so she could go about getting ready without him hindering her. "Sorry...hope I wasn't keeping you.." He paused for a moment as she gathered what was needed, before piping up again. " But don't worry. If you get lost...or fall asleep somewhere... "I'll come find you."

Ayaka nodded, giving one of those bright smiles again, though it was likely barely noticeable behind her veil of hair. Before she got up, though, she leaned over and gave her friend one last hug, and mumbled something so quietly it was barely audible: "Thank you, Utsuro."

So preoccupied with hugging her back, it had almost escaped notice. Granted, it had been said so quietly, if not FOR the embrace he would have missed it entirely. " Thank you, Utsuro." S'the big deal? She said your name. Whoop dee doo!Assuring her that she was quite welcome, he watched a little wide-eyed as she left the tent. "....She said my name.." So?"She said my name." In human culture, you do not call someone by their given name..... unless you are very close to them...Falling onto his back on the cot, Utsuro beamed up at the ceiling of the tent.
