1st Tenketsu

[Action: Somewhere in the village - Sakura Only]

[Taken from the battlefield, Hinata let out a gasp before she found herself waking up on the ground. She slowly stood, taking in the fact that she was wearing clothing that was decidedly not her uniform from the war. In fact, her arms and legs were sticking out of the flimsy white dress, making her feel extremely under-dressed.

As she turned around, she saw a flash of purple that seemed to remind her a little of the jacket from her normal outfit. She reached out to grab at the colorful thing and brought back a handful of lavender feathers. Suddenly, she was overcome with nausea and lightheadedness before she passed out, never noticing the familiar face of her pink-haired comrade from Konoha as the blackness took over her again.]

[Have a very confused looking hime-type, Luceti. Complete with the self-conscious blush.] E-excuse me. M-my name is Hyuuga Hinata. I have just arrived here to this village. [The camera shifts to point out her lavender wings.] If they serve no practical usage, why are they there? And am I the only one who discovered a brand on the back of their neck? They seem rather obvious.

That is a relief. [Hinata looked over at the pink-haired girl with a smile that threatened to waver for a moment.] Thank you, Sakura-san.

[medicalpunch]

You're welcome.

[It's always nice to be able to give some kind of good news.

She also spots a familiar-looking pair of sandals.]

Are these yours, too?

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata blinked as she stared at the more than familiar sandals. How had she forgotten about those? Her cheeks flushed in a bit of embarrassment as she nodded.] Yes.

[She picked them up and started to put them on, frowning at the dirt that covered the bottom of her feet from the walk there. A bath or shower was in order when she got to the apartment she would be sharing with her friend then. While putting the sandals on her feet, she spotted an outfit that consisted of a long, black skirt and a white blouse with 3/4 sleeves. They appeared to be her size, so she pulled them out for a closer look.

The shirt would be a little big, even over her breasts, but not by much, and the skirt seemed like it would cover her more than enough. She knew that she'd need more than just one pair of clothes, and there was no way that she was going to go out in that dress again. It might be good for something to sleep in, but not as an everyday type piece of clothing. These articles of clothing however...they were nearly perfect for that. It was with a sense of triumph that she turned to face Sakura.]

What do you think?

[medicalpunch]

[From what Sakura has seen, it doesn't seem to be the norm for new arrivals to immediately start branching out their wardrobe beyond the familiar much; it pleases her that Hinata has, and she gives a bright grin.]

Cuuute! Go for it -- those will look really nice on you!

[She glances arond a little, and her eye lights on a deep violet vest, touched with accents in silver.]

Oh, how about this with them? Give you a touch of color with the black and white.

[She's never had the opportunity to shop for any item of clothing for herself before now. That was always handled by her mother's sister. In fact, her aunt considered it an honour to do the things like teaching Hinata and Hanabi proper Hyuuga manners, flower arranging, how to do proper household chores, etc. She also did things like pick out their proper clothing to maintain modesty. It was something that she'd threatened teaching Hinata with before she was married, in fact.

So, being in Luceti might have taken her away from the war effort where she was needed, it had also taken her, for a bit anyway, away from the controlling fists of her duties as Hyuuga Hiashi's oldest daughter.

And, she was willing to take a little bit of the freedom to heart. If only if that meant she could choose her own clothes.]

I...I think I will take them all. My sandals should be more than adequate. Anything else... I suppose more clothes can wait until I have settled in.

[medicalpunch]

Great! And yes, things can wait -- there's always more here, and it's not like any of it has to be purchased.

[She helps Hinata bundle it up for carrying and gives her a smile.]

Home isn't too far from here, either, which is convenient.

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata accepted the bundle back from her friend with a bright smile before pulling it to her chest.

Home...Luceti wasn't Konoha, but it would do for the time being, right? It could be like a temporary home.]

That sounds wonderful!

[medicalpunch]

It's pretty great. Come on, let's go get you all set up, you can have a look at the place and see what you want to add.

[Truth be told, she's happy about this. It'll be nice to have Hinata around, both for the company and as someone else who's familiar and friendly.]
