[Gin startles awake and were anyone nearby, they might've caught a flash of blue as his open eyes scanned the area.  He relaxes a moment later, not at all sure what to make of where he's found himself.]

Can't say it's what I expected.

[He stands and dusts off his pants, taking note of the book for the first time and flipping it around in his hands

[Having picked up the sudden flare of chakra that hadn't been there not long before, Itachi has paused just within sight to give the newcomer a curious look. There's a bundle of twigs under one of his arms - kindling.]

...Do you normally have this much to say when you find yourself somewhere unfamiliar?

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

[He notices the other with little more than a raise of his eyebrows and a lazy scratching at the side of his head.]

Ara... so I had some company after all.

Met with some interestin' circumstances before coming here. I s'pose I'm not much in my right mind just yet. You prefer I skulk around in the shadows and keep real quiet-like?

[action]

[yourhatred]

I have no preference. How you handle the situation is your own affair.

[He bends to pick up a rather choice twig from the ground near his feet, adding it to his pile.]

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

N' yet you felt the need to come an' say hello. You always let your curiosity get the better a' you like that?

[action]

[yourhatred]

I was in the area.

There have been many new arrivals lately.

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

You're pretty good at avoidin' giving a straight answer, aincha.

[He shrugs, nothing fading in his smile.]

See now there's somethin' helpful. Did I miss the tour? Or they print out some kinda pamphlets? It's not bad, it's just not my first choice for vacation.

[action]

[yourhatred]

There's a page in your book that should supply a lot of answers. [He gestures at the object in Gin's hands. Really, it's a lot more helpful than he is.]

Not far from here is a town. If you wish to follow me back to it, I won't object.

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

That what it is, hn?

[He flips through it, skimming the content, though he keeps his skeptical thoughts to himself.]

I wouldn't mind takin' a walk.

[action]

[yourhatred]

As well as a communications device, yes.

[Itachi nods then, slowly turning to head back the way he'd come from. This is your cue to follow, Gin.]

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

That a fact?

[He looks through it, following a few yards behind, but never quite letting the other out of his sight. Sure you want someone like this at your back Itachi?]

A little bulky for somethin' like that, but I s'pose it'll do.

Ichimaru Gin by the way. Pleased to meetcha.

[action]

[yourhatred]

[He doesn't find Gin the least bit trustworthy, no, but he's not afraid of being stabbed in the back at the moment, either.]

Uchiha Itachi.

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

That so? Itachi-kun then.

So I if this book here's right about all this, I'm s'posed to believe we're in another world altogether, hm? How long y'been here?

[action]

[yourhatred]

That's correct. I've been here two months.

[He doesn't stop walking, nor turn to looks at the other man.]

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

[So talkative. Not unlike a few others he knows, but he just smiles and continues after. Either this place is for real or it's a pretty elaborate prank. Neither of which explains how he got out of Karakura town or how his injuries got healed up...]

And? How you likin' it here so far? Everythin' you hoped it'd be?

[action]

[yourhatred]

I had hoped for nothing.

[Nothing but death. Nothing in that he hadn't anticipated this place and therefore had no chance to be optimistic.]

[action]

[sly_little_fox]

[Well there's a cheerful fella.]

Then I guess you ain't been disappointed. Everyone here as much fun as you Itachi-kun? Cuz I'm not sure I c'n take that kinda excitement.
