[Yuffie has been only somewhat quiet over the journals. She hasn't really spoken up since that last experiment, and that's not usually her style. Now today, Yuffie wanted to have a little fun. She even found this interesting cloak to run around in today, especially since it is getting colder, and her clothes were not meant for anything but Spring and Summer. So today, instead of her shorts, she's in some nice loose pants, not something a ninja should wear, but unless someone looks really closely, she can easily pass for a boy this day.

What has she got in store? Well, not much. She's going people stalking. Following anyone from a safe distance (Out of range of any normal weapon.) And once she is noticed, she's not saying a word. She will happily stand there and watch what the person does through the slit in the hat of her cloak. She's quite curious about what people will do, especially since she possibly doesn't seem to threatening.

After getting bored of people stalking she will be found with the hood down, and sitting by the fountain in the village.]

I've been wondering. People have been asking for some training, an sparring...I was wondering if I could call out some of the ninja's. Yeah, I know. Shush, you're a ninja. Feel free to put up a filter, or hide your face, but I need a good fight. I feel like I'm not doing anything to stay in shape.

OH! One more thing. The little ninja kid I found....Nagato? I'm curious what you look like normally!

[Hey, it's you again.]

I'm Donatello and I'm a turtle ninja.

[Neither of these things has been secret for a long time, and this reply is directed to anyone who might be paging through the journals. Don will also be eavesdropping on other replies to Yuffie's message.]

[You know, that was one thing she didn't expect.]

Ninja turtle...Alright.

Either way. And not the super-powered kind of ninja.

Well, being a ninja is good enough!

[Though the turtle part gives you cool points!]

What does being a ninja entail?

It...uh...[Dammit, that's a good question.]

I'd have to say what kind of weapon they use...how they fight...

And...other things that I've never really had to think of because that's a good question...

I didn't mean to baffle you. It's just not a term I'm familiar with.

Well I'm probably not the best one to explain it, since I just taught myself...but it's a certain type of fighter. Quiet, using small quick weapons, or larger ones if that's what they want, like me...fast, good at spying...things like that?

Your description reminds me of the Jedi. ( As well as mercenaries, but why go there? ) How did you teach yourself? That must have been a difficult task.

...What's a Jedi? [First time hearing that term!]

Books, samurai, and the war was how I learned.

They are...protectors and warriors. They have special abilities that allow them to remain level-headed even in the midst of chaos. Of course not all Jedi are good. Some of them...

( No, she doesn't want to get into that. )

I'm sorry you had to see a war.

So a bit different from ninja's. Of course there can be bad ninja's, but I don't think I could stay level-headed about things for too long.

[Too much energy.]

It's fine...it was over by the time I was nine. But it's the reason I'm the best ninja in my world!

He'd noticed the girl's game in passing, and it had made him curious enough to take note... and stalk her in turn, though he made sure to keep out of sight of her and whoever she was following, as he didn't want to spoil his own game. He'd been about to approach, or perhaps leave to get lunch, when he heard his name.

In that case... He'd just amble over, casual as you please and dressed head to toe in blacks and reds. Though, not his favored cloak, as he doubted the nin from home were quite ready for that yet.

Because he was still feeling a bit playful, he came at her from the angle that she was least likely to see him, light on his feet as he made sure to be deliberately silent up until he spoke.

"Yuffie, wasn't it?"

She wasn't even thinking that someone would be stalking her while she was stalking other people...it sounds like something she might do though.

She also isn't used to people sneaking up on her. At the sound of someone saying it, her hood is right back on and stays on until she sees the face of the person who said it. Those eyes are hard to forget!

"Hey! It's you!" Taller than her, and much less hugable.

The startled reaction, as downplayed as it was, was more than enough to satisfy the playful urge he'd had, and he waited patiently for her to settle and look at him properly.

His lips quirking, he nodded, waving to her journal. "You seemed to be looking for me."

"Curious to see what you really looked like." Though she was expecting it over the journals, but this works out even better...but he didn't have to make her jump a foot to say hi.

If you get to stalk people, he gets to poke fun at you Yuffie, it's really that simple. He has a sense of humor too you realize.

He spread his hands at his sides. "Ah. In that case, here I am."

She's not used to people with a sense of humor, and she doesn't like people poking fun at her. She will do something about it!

She just tilts her head. "You're not as hugable now."

He looked thoughtful at the declaration, then peered down at himself. A beat later he looked back to her.

"I'm far more huggable than I was before coming here however, I promise you."

That was one thing she didn't expect him to say. Though she knows at least one person that was like that. Vincent was so close to smiling before he left.

"Fair enough."

His lips quirked up at her response, and he knew he'd flummoxed her. He decided that he could share... a little.

"My health was poor."

"And this place made you better? Well there's one good thing about this place then."

"...No, not exactly." He shook his head, groping for words as to how to explain without explaining... and finding none.

"I died while in ill health. I was revived at home and made myself better, then died again. Then I came here."

Congratulations, Yuffie is speechless. Yeah, her world was almost destroyed by an alien that summoned a meteor. Vinny was in a coffin for over 8 years. There's monsters everywhere, and so much more...

But dying, and coming back to life? Nope, that's a whole new territory.

Oh dear. Um. Time to reassure then!! He held up his hands in a placating gesture. "I was just one of hundreds that had been revived, and it wasn't true revival. I can do that myself, and it's very different."
