[Action - Morning]

[It's around mid-morning on the 27th when the Malnosso finally decided to drop Alexei back into Luceti. They weren't nice enough to at least drop him in his nice, warm, comfy bed and instead drops him on the cherry blossom tree near where Miyabi lives. Alexei hasn't realized where he had been dropped, because he was still unconscious, lying limply on the branches. ]

[Afternoon into Evening]

[Later on that day, once he found his way into town, Alexei can be seen at some of the shops, trying to locate his personal items and clothes. Those who know him will notice something was different with Alexei, he seem younger in appearance. He still had a few twigs and leaves after his ventures to get out of the tree and still rather disorientated about his situation. It just...sounded ridiculous what he was told. But the wings remind him that there is probably some truth to what he has been told. Damn wings need to stop hurting.

Alexei can be found in the general, clothing and smithy store during most of the afternoon. Closer to the evening, he'll be found in the Good Spirits Bar, looking around to have a chat with any of the residents here. So he may come up and grab your attention. When things quiet down, he'll bring out his journal, skimming absently through it...turning it over a few times.]

[Voice]

How does this journal actually work...? [The journal picks up his question that he didn't intentionally mean for anyone to hear. He was just thinking out loud.]

[OOC: Alexei has been temporarily de-aged to around his mid 20s. 24ish I put him down as. He doesn't remember his time in Luceti this time around, believing he is a "new feather". All responses will be done through

destinedtofall and information about his young self can be found on there too.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Lee is in Good Spirits as well, chopsticking some ramen in a break from his mix of training and patrolling. But he sees this unfamiliar man looking through his journal and is intrigued.

Moments later, Lee seats himself next to the man and flips through his journal while peering over Alexei's shoulder at his own journal, trying to match the page.]

Have I missed important news?

What? [He looks to who had settled down beside him, looking him over for a moment.]

Oh...No, I was just looking over this journal. I can't quite figure out how they work.

[He says as he turns it over again. What source of power is it using? It reminded him of the blastia back home, but not at the same time.]

Oh, I see! [He snaps his own journal shut.] The way they run, it is quite simply... a mystery!

[......]

That's exactly what I'm trying to solve. [He stops messing with the journal for a moment] But first, who may I ask, are you?

[He stares intensely at the man, who seems fairly youthful himself.]

My name is Rock Lee! I am a ninja from Konoha. They know me as Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast!

[...What is with that intense stare? And what is with that title?]

Beautiful Green Wild Beast? Is that suppose to be a title to impress the ladies?

Ah... that is not my intention. It speaks of my formidability, sir! But, I- I cannot deny that ladies would be impressed by such a title that emphasizes my dynamic youth...

[Trying not to laugh at the thought of Lee wooing girls with that title.]

So in battle, you fight similarly like a wild beast? And that is how you came to that title?

Not exactly. My beloved mentor, Gai-Sensei, the greatest and most admirable fighter I have ever known, he has been known as the Sublime Blue Beast of Prey! Like him, I am a young beast, and I suppose I am unpredictable in combat! Additionally, I wear green! [He says with a confident tug at his spandex.]

Ah, I see. Heh, well I figured that was where the green part came from. [Oh, he should probably say who is now, shouldn't he?]

Alexei, Lieutenant in the Imperial Knights. [He extends a hand out in a gesture to shake Lee's hand.]

I am pleased to meet you, Alexei-san! Ah, so you are a proud warrior as well?

[He grips his hand and gives it a very lively shaking.]

Oh, it's...just Alexei. [What are honorifics?]

I suppose you could say that. Though I still have a lot to learn as a knight.

But... I must refer to you honorably!

Of course... You are still a youth! Should I train you?

[A headtilt, curiously amused.] Is that what the san is for?

...Well, that would depend on how you fight. I wouldn't mind a sparring partner though.

It is! Of course. It is an honorific. For we are not intimate, nor are we so detached from each other, Alexei-san!

I fight using hand-to-hand taijutsu. And I will never mind another sparring partner in the least!

Hand-to-hand...I've never actually met someone trained in hand-to-hand, and I feel like I'd put you at a slight disadvantage for using a weapon.

I can use some weapons as well, but I do not train with them often. Name your weapon.

Sword and shield mostly. [...] Perhaps we can learn something from each other. [He is interested in learning about other fighting techniques.]

Of course! All youths can benefit from knowing taijustu - especially in emergencies in which one is separated from their weapons! Also, I would love to learn how to break weapons!

[A nod in agreement] Then let's settle on a time and day. Perhaps two days from now might be good?

[He wants to spend a day to explore a little more]

[Lee whips out his own mini notepad, turns frantically to a page and frantically scribbles something in.]

Yes! That shall be the day on which we meet in combat!

[A laugh]

I look forward to it. Is there a place we can spar here?

Are you unaware of the Battle Dome? It is optimal for setting customized scenarios, environments and conditions! However, we could also be more reckless and spar within the forest!

[ooh, Battle Dome sounds curiously tempting. Maybe he'll look into that place tomorrow]

The Battle Dome sounds interesting. We be able to change things around if we want a change of pace at least.

Of course! If we choose to do everything we can to push ourselves to and past our limitations... the possibilities are overwhelming!
