[b]The man glances at the dusk, and back to the dojo. His hands twitch under the cloak, gesturing to his daughter. [/b]
I assume we are allowed in?
[b]The mask over his face represented something you'd see as more of a utility than to hide his identity (think dishonored). The eyes clicked and whirred, presumably zooming in and out? Either way. [/b]

-
"Ah, yes of course." [b]Tesuto kneels down to the little girl.[/b] "You are safe here. Worry not."
-
[b]The girl smiled at you, and laughed.[/b] She doesn't speak much. Doesn't need to. [b]He takes a step towards his daughter. A clear sign. Though you seemed friendly, one cannot be too careful. Who knows what hides in a man's soul? [/b]
-
[b]Tesuto stood, and bowed.[/b] "Welcome to the dojo then. You shall find a place to rest, and eat. If need be, I can give you a tour."
-
Take her, and please show her around. [b]He kneeled down and whispered into her ear, before standing back up.[/b] I have business to attend to. [b]The man disappears in s cloud of thick-black smoke. Only the girl remains as she looks up at you, expectantly. [/b]
-
"Ah. Yes. Well follow me small one. I shall show you your home." [b]Tesuto opens the massive gate, and holds it open for the child.[/b]
-
[b]The girl narrows her eyes and touches the gate with her small and pale hand. She looks back up to you with a frown.[/b] What keeps these from falling?
-
"Ah. Well they have large hinges on the side you see. As well as some electromagnetic locks which I can activate and de-activate."
-
No. For I were to push these gates, it an army were to press against them... Would it fall? [b]She takes her hand away with a furrowed brow, before looking up to you once again. [/b]
-
"It would have to be a very...VERY big army. Why do you ponder these things child?"
-
Because there is no where safe. Every building has a weak point, isolated areas have reasons to be that way. People around you can always die. I'm simply seeing how long this place will last. Time itself is the largest enemy of all. [b]The child places her hand back in her sweatshirt pockets, and regretting her decision points forward.[/b] Shall we continue?
-
"Yes...yes we shall." [b]Tesuto walks the child over to a large side building.[/b] "These will be the sleeping quarters. You'll find many rooms...absent."
-
[b]Her eyes narrow at you before she speaks again.[/b] Why?
-
"Well you see, the people here normally don't stay for long. They have...other things to do."
-
Honestly, I don't think it's possible to get a straight answer out of you... [b]She sighed.[/b] What [i]other things[/i]?
-
"Well. Death."
-
See? That's all it is. A simple word, yet it causes even the mightiest of men to trouble to say it. Lost souls going to a better place than this. Why is it a bad thing?
-
"Well...I'm sorry but I like to talk to children...easier."
-
Hm. [b]The girl crosses her arms and pouts. Clearly she was somewhat upset by that statement. Either way, she pouting forward.[/b] Onwards!
-
"Ah. Alright then." [b]Tesuto shows her around the courtyard. Stopping by a large statue.[/b] "Have you heard the tale of the Phoenix...?"
-
"The" should not be used. The general idea of a Phoenix is its fall and rise from the ashes of its deceased corpse. I like crows better.
-
"Hehe. Because they are scavengers? Or because when you look at them the wrong way, they will get their friends to attack you...?"
-
[b]The girl answered your question quite simply.[/b] Because, sir, crows don't die in the first place.
-
"Ha! You are wise for your age. Treasure that. Now, this shall bring an end to the tour. You are free to do as you like. But stay within the walls! We would not want your father to be upset and not see you here."
-
Humph. Well thanks anyway. Is there anything here to keep me occupied? Books? Fights? Magazines? Zorhens?
-
"Zorhens?"
