"Lunch!" Jiro exclaimed happily, his face splitting into a huge grin. If there was one sure way to befriend Tensei Jiro, it was by offering him food. "Sounds great! I think we'll get along juuuust fine, Sensei." "And really, who is she?" Yuki asked, still confused about why the red-haired girl was the cause of so much fuss. "This Ayaka girl with the red hair. A friend of yours?"

Laughing quietly, an almost musical sound, at Jiro's enthusiastic reaction, he turned and began to lead the trio back towards the more populous part of the village. It was a leisurely pace at that, no need to rush them, after all. "Ayaka-chan is a refugee from another village affected by the war. And she is...an acquaintance. One who happens to have a knack for running into people who know eachother." " She's really nice!" Shichuumaru continued, nodding as if to confirm Ryuurei's story. " A little awkward...but...she's never been in a ninja village before, so it's understandable." Before long, the team had reached one of the functional restaurants, and no doubt enjoying the opportunity to sit down.

Jiro sighed contentedly - and in a rather exaggerated manner - as he flopped into his seat, glad to be off his feet at last. He could feel his stomach rumbling; this morning's fight had really worked up an appetite. "That makes sense," Yuki was saying, seating himself in a far more normal manner. "Anyone would feel awkward coming here for the first time.""I still don't get it," Jiro observed with a slight pout. "Of all the people I could have picked, it's someone you two already know. I mean, what're the odds?"

"I'm no mathematician..But I'd say incredibly high." Sitting down in a smooth, graceful movement after making sure Shichuumaru wasn't going to topple over, he gestured to the menus with a sweeping hand. "Order what you wish, this one's on Sensei for a job well done." " Ohhh, you're gonna regret those words!" Grinning like a fiend, Shichuumaru snatched up a menu and began scanning it.

Even if they hadn't been friends for years, one look at Jiro's face - which was somehow both stunned and mischievously gleeful - would have told Yuki to reconsider the offer, had he been in Ryuurei-sensei's place. "Uhh... are you sure about that, Sensei?" Yuki asked. His expression seemed concerned, but then he slipped into a knowing grin. "This guy'll eat his way right through your wallet if you let him." Jiro snorted. "That's my line!" he asserted indignantly. "Just how many times did I have to share my lunch with you because you were starving?"".... ah.... heh heh... I guess you have a point... But at least I don't do that when other people are paying for me." "And what about my lunches!?""That's you. Other people are different." "...."

Shaking his head softly as the boys squabbled, he just gazed over the menu himself. "I believe I can manage, regardless of your capabilities." He smirked.

Jiro's eyes gleamed at those words. "Why, Sensei, I do believe that's a challenge," Jiro observed, leaning on an elbow as he alternated between scanning the menu and looking up at the others. "What do you think, guys?"

"Iiii think Sensei is going to be...eating his words?" Joining in the mischievous grin, he scooped the larva off his shoulder, resting him on his lap. "Gabu's hungry too, after all. Gotta be able to make some more chakra for him!"

"Because this can't possibly end badly," Yuki sighed with a roll of his eyes. Despite the sarcastic nature of his words, though, his face and voice lent a certain... fondness... to what he was saying. His friends meant a lot to him, even if they did like getting into trouble. "Looks like you and I may be the only ones able to do anything in the morning, Sensei," he remarked, then went back to perusing the menu. It was good to be on a team again.

Just smiling as they bantered back and forth, Ryuurei continued idly glancing over the menu, letting his thoughts wander. It was quite different, sitting in this restaurant, listening to the noise the three Genins were creating. Normally he'd abhor such a ruckus in a dining locale, but this... There was a strange sort of charm to it. Perhaps this would not be so hard to adapt to after all. Glancing up from the menu, his glacial eyes twinkled. "Ahh~ Hiyori-chan! It has been far too long since I have drunk of your beauty.." Smoothly addressing the giggling server, he offered a warm smile. "Could I trouble you for some tea to tide me over until..ohh...tomorrow night?" "And whatever they desire, of course." He added, gesturing to his table-mates.

"Eh?" came Jiro's confused voice as Yuki gave the still giggling waitress his order. "You're going that long without food, Ryuu-sensei?"Yuki turned back to the rest of the table as the server moved on to the next boy. "I don't think that's what he meant," he observed wryly. "Is it, Sensei?"

"Your observation skills are quite sharp, Sekimori-kun." Was all the Jounin said in response to the remark. Waiting until the orders had been collected and the server was on her way back to the kitchen, Ryuurei addressed the trio again. "So. Are there any questions you have?"

Yuki paused in thought. Where to begin...? Ryuurei-sensei was a total stranger to him, but somehow he couldn't think of much to ask. Perhaps it was because Yuki knew so little of him that he couldn't think of anything to ask. So he decided to go with what he did know, and see where that led. "I'd like to know more about those paint creatures," he suggested. "The birds with the scrolls, and the shadow people. Stuff like that is a specialty of yours, right?"

"That would be correct. Those of my clan who choose to pursue a career as a shinobi dedicate themselves to combining their ninjutsu with their love and knack for artistry. My particular focus is with painting, but any artistic medium is feasible." Ryuurei replied with a proud smile. "My father, for instance, is living proof of the old saying that the pen is mightier than the sword."

Jiro blinked. "So.... the things you paint.... come to life?" he asked thoughtfully. "Kind of like a bunshin, but they look and act like whatever paint them to be?"
