Well, he was not truly a son of Odin, now was he? It had made little difference to Loki then, and it made even less now. His talents would undoubtedly serve him well here... though he had yet to figure out precisely where here even was. Between magic and might, however, there was one thing in common: know your field of battle ( ... )

"So I'm not in the Daidouji residence anymore, then..." Sakura's voice went very small, which was unusual for the typically boisterous girl. She then looked up to the man who had addressed her, and smiled. "So are you lost too? Need someone to explore with?"

He stepped aside slightly, to let Sakura pass in front of him.

She then swung her arms behind her back, clasping her hands together and resting them behind her. She rocked back and forth on the balls and heels of her feet, waiting for him to lead the way.

He's not interested in the incredibly pink trappings of the room, and he glances in just in time to see a young girl stumble out of the closet.
That is new. Normally, people arrive via the Entrance Hall, not out of the closet. (He feels like there's some sort of joke he could make involving apparently magical closets.)
He watches her check frantically. The pendant is important to her. He files that away for the moment.
Time to be civil, then.
"Do you require assistance?"

"Assistance?" Sakura took a few steps back, looking back over her shoulder to the closet from which she had just emerged from.
Who were all these people? She had never seen them around the Daidouji residence before. "...but...this doesn't seem to be the Daidouji residence anymore...how..." She muttered to herself with a look of worry.

"Hmph. The house pulled you out of wherever you were and dumped you here. But I have to say, I've never seen someone come out of a closet before."
The first thing you may notice is that this guy is tall. (Although not very tall, compared to some of the other people around here.) Tall, and ridiculously skinny to the point of almost being skeletal. He's dressed in fairly normal clothing - a jacket, pants, a shirt - and he's wearing glasses.
If it wasn't for the mildly scrutinising look he was giving her, he'd seem perfectly normal.

"Really? I didn't exactly feel dumped..." Sakura ran her palms over the skirt of her dress, trying to straighten it from the burst out of the aforementioned closet. "More like 'tumbled,' actually!" She followed-up that remark with a sincere giggle. Child's humor.

Shisui paused, half pushing himself up on the bed as he stared at her. He knew they kept a guard up, there was no way such a loud girl should have been able to get in here without someone noticing her.
Well, this was a new development he wasn't sure he liked. He made sure the bandages were covering his eye before he cleared his throat, subtly drawing attention to himself. "Miss? Are you alright?"
Her hand went for the pendent, and instinct said it was a weapon of some sort. Perhaps a seal? He'd seen scrolls smaller than that.

Sakura released her hold of her pendant, and took a tentative step forward, craning her neck to get a better look of where she was, exactly. "...lost...?" She took a tiny step to the side, unsure of how to proceed, exactly.
"E-excuse me..." Sakura finally brought her attention back to the boy who stood in front of her. "...do you know where this is, exactly..?"

But she wasn't Danzo, she was just a scared little girl. "Sorry, I don't." He turned, sitting on the edge of the bed and resting his elbows on his knees. It wouldn't do to tower over the poor thing. "Did you trip? Some people describe it as slipping, as well. We all show up her in mostly the same way, but it tends to...be a little different for everyone and no one really knows where we are." He kept his tone quiet, talking to her like he would Sasuke when the kid was out of sorts. Trying to offer some comfort and stability.
It was the same tone he remembered his older brother using when he was upset. "What's your name? I'm Uchiha Shisui."

She gave a small smile, her eyes warming up at the gentle friendliness of her new friend. (Obviously new friend, why would you question it?) "I'm Sakura Kinomoto. Nice to meetcha!"
She then took another good look around the room. "...is this your bedroom?" It sure didn't look like the type of room she'd imagine a boy staying in...
