FRIENDLY. HEIHACHI LIKES TO BE FRIENDLY. 8] smiling_samurai January 13 2009, 09:54:10 UTC

Colvus was a city that Heihachi was only passingly familiar with. He'd been there before, but that could be said for just about every major city in Vohemar, and during his first visit he hadn't thought it too remarkable except that it grew better rice than most places and had plenty of work for a samurai-cum-woodchopper. On this particular day, however, he wasn't looking for work, and Colvus wasn't just another town ( ... )

IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE CALLING IT THESE DAYS? hedgephones January 14 2009, 20:49:59 UTC

Neku, of course, had yet to realize he'd slowed to a stop (he tended to space out like that, even in the middle of large crowds), and the place wasn't that badly lit, so he was surprised more than anything to find himself suddenly stumbling forward from someone walking into him.

"Ow! Hey! Watch where you're going." ... Did he just have bad luck with people these days, or something? Every time he got a closeup of someone new, he had to bang his knee or whack his head or trip over a crack in the street? Maybe he should be looking for an exorcist.

JUST WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING ABOUT HIS FRIENDLINESS, HUH? :| smiling_samurai January 14 2009, 23:23:25 UTC

Despite his somewhat graceless mistake, Heihachi recovered his balance quickly and grabbed the arm of the poor person he'd run in to in order to help steady them. His victim was a boy a bit younger than himself, although about as tall he realized with a bit of ruefulness.

"Sorry about that," he said with a short, sheepish laugh. "My bad. Are you okay?"

NOTHING, NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. :D hedgephones January 15 2009, 21:07:35 UTC

"... Fine." Neku had reflexively shaken off the helping hand once he recovered his balance, pulling it back from the other person's grip and stepping back even before he'd registered what the guy looked like.

--Which was, in a word... earthy? Or maybe that was just the faint whiff of iron off him, as though he'd just climbed out of a smithy bellows. His wide grin was at odds with the rough way he dressed, and who carried swords around in this day and age?

Definitely an oddball. The kind that steals your shoes and leaves your wallet. Having furrowed his brow at the sight, Neku settled for brushing himself off, exchange finished, no harm done and quite fine now going back to not knowing the fellow existed.
