Alternate Roleplay ~ The Eastern Forest

Hiruko stop walk. He looked at them and gave a slight laugh, "Eh. Thanks. And yeah.. Prince Hiruko... But please. Don't call me that, Hiruko is.. just fine." Hiruko gave a nice smile, surprised that his music was actually good. The only compliments he had ever gotten was from his servants and mother, who were... well obligated to say it was good..

Hiruko looked to the side, hearing the girl speak. He merely gave a welcoming-smile as a reply.

He looked back at the boys infront of him, putting his hands in his pocket. Hiruko wasn't much of the type to start any conversation, being the alone type.

He considered just turning around and leaving, going back to the palace to do his normal routine. But he some-what wanted to stay, interested in the travelers.

Kaji stood up and held out his hand looking at Hiruko with lazy, effortless eyes "Kaji, prince of the Fire Nation...pleased to meet you" he said, Kaji turned around to face Sable and Noriaki "Now if you two are done fighting, someone give me the map and I'll deal with us being lost" he said.

Miku took a deep breath. Prince of the fire nation... I sucked up courage. "Am I the only one here who ISN'T royalty?" I managed a small smile.

~ Noriaki

Noriaki managed to give the young sand-bender a wry smile. "Actually, Sable and I aren't. My dad just happened to be good buddies with the Fire King."

Sable's eye twitched, "Lord," he said. "Fire Lord."

"Whatever." Noriaki scratched that the base of his skull. "Where IS the map, anyway?"

Sable wordlessly handed Kaji the map, then moved back to his position next to his brother. "Since we're all here," Noriaki piped. "It'd make sense to travel together to get outta here, right?"

"Since we're all here," Noriaki piped. "It'd make sense to travel together to get outta here, right?"

Hiruko thought a second then nodded, "Um. Sure." He gave a bright smile. Hiruko was shocked himself on how open he was to these strangers.

He put his hands behind his head, the violin case leaning against his side connected to the strap around his shoulder. "Where you all heading?" Hiruko squinted up at the sky, "I don't think I got all of your names?"

iku let a sigh of relief."Yes, I guess it would." Her heart came to a steady beat, and dusted off her coat. Her father had once traveled here, him being a very rich man. The map she had was what he told stories about, an old, detailed map that showed every city in the world. And she carelessly dropped it in a puddle."My name is.. Miku.. Miku Asyume.." It came out of her mouth hesitantly, and rather suspicious."I'm tying to find what my father had left behind here."

~ Noriaki and Sable

Noriaki flashed a friendly smile. "My name is Noriaki. Call me Nori!" With a hand he gestured to his brother and Kaji. "This is my little brother Sable, and the bored-looking guy over there is called Kaji. Pleased to meet you, miss."

Miku smiled, seeing they were friendly."I am pleased to meet you too." Her suspicious emotions had faded, and she was relieved to have found help.

Kaji sighed as he heard his cousins suggestion to travel together "Yeah I'd love to get to know them better....but I'm not responsible for these kiddies here...so no thanks" he said "It's enough of a pain to be watching you two on my week off...I was gonna go clubbing in the Light Kingdom...and there was this girl I heard about from a friend...Sa-something"

"Nice to meet you, Miku. Kaji. Sable. Nori." Hiruko seemed happier today, not his usual self.

Hiruko smiled, "Alright. Let's go." He turned around, still having his hands behind his head and started walking.
