Smoke break for him. Maybe some reading..

❝ Back home, for a spell. ❞

He's had a lot on his plate.

❝Between mythic beasts and visceral clean ups. My friends joking im not married yet starts to make sense..❞

Washing off his face to wake up. .

❝ Quiet morning. That’s good. ❞

He hasn’t had a cig in a good while. Starting to crave one. Letting out a sigh, he tries to resist, but pulls out one to light up. Seems the hunt today is low..

❝You’ll be fine.❞

Whines.

Work has kept him away. He’ll be around later.

Laying head down on someone.

❝ I considered defecting from the Wuzong as a means of a good start, but I still feel it's my penance. I don't feel I should. Not just yet. ❞

❝ Happy new year. A prosperous one to all. ❞ He seems much more at ease, than usual.

❝Haven’t gone anywhere, just Chinese new year has kept me a little busy. Lot of prep and places to go. ❞

He’s apart of that in some degree, yeah..

By “difficult jobs,” does that include the mage?

Difficult jobs lately. He’ll be back soon.

A faint scoff of a laugh. ❝ Well, since I’ve got you this far, might as well, right? ❞ Easing to take a seat on a bench, he eases to his small bag latched around his lower back. From there, he unzips the bag and eases out a heavy looking lighter, with ornate design. It looked oversized too.. —

Yuffie wanted to be amused at that comment, but instead she's more concerned. Sure, he was a perfect stranger mere hours ago but now? She's basically invested in his wellbeing. Guiding him out of the store and to a quieter side-street, she all but rounded on him with care, ❝ C'mon, I can help if ––>

❝ Sounds like a plan. ❞ Taking the supplies, glancing over them all with a mental check..then giving a nod. ❝ Okay, I’m good. I’ll need for one of these injuries, then I’ll be good to go. And…don’t worry. It’s not as bad as it sounds. Won’t have you doing surgery or whatever. ❞ Still somehow-

❝ Are ya sure? ❞ Yuffie asked, aware that some people - like a couple of her friends - are simply mysterious and that's all there is to it. She doesn't expect anything from her newfound friend, after all, but? The ninja is definitely coloured intrigued. ❝ Tell ya what, if you're sure, we can go ––>

His eyes shut..as if her words had him recall something completely obvious. She was right. ❝ Well, you’re not wrong…I uh..I owe, you big time. I may not look it now, but I’m useful. ❞ Turning to give her a grateful, half smile. ❝ I appreciate it. I also owe you a full explanation,since you’re—

Yuffie nods and keeps relatively close to her newfound friend, wary that he looks more and more likely to pass out or something worse. She picks up a few potions just in case, too, and watches as the shopkeep arranges the items. "Here you go," they say, adding in the amount. The youthful ninja ––>

Nodding.. ❝ Thanks. Sorry to inconvenience you..may need your help on a few things. But I’ll make it worth your while. ❞ While entering, he seems to wince, briefly. Though passes it off quickly and looks around.. A knock of the table to any workers on standby. ❝Disinfectant ointment, and —

Colour Yuffie highly intrigued - what was this stranger up to? What does he mean that it rarely happens to him? She’s dying to found out more! But she decides not to pry, instead humming a little uncertainty, ❝ Well if you’re sure you’re okay, but yeah the medical supplies shop’s right here, ❞ —>
