Nobunaga's attention split from Kaori for a moment when Iro lit the fire in front of them with a small stream of fire. It cast a pale, flickering light on the trio of chuunin as the natural light faded each passing minute over the horizon. Small lights began to dot the village underneath, indicating people turning on the street lamps. Soon they'd all be on, but without electricity each one needed manually lit. It was fascinating to see the wave of lights as they swept from east to west with the waning sunlight, a melody of lights to look forward to every night. It was why Nobunaga liked his spot on the roof; more visibility.
His question to Kaori gave Nobunaga a better indication as to where she was with her medical skills. It sounded as if she could perform ijutsu well enough, but applying it to combat scenarios is still somewhat challenging. Something that can easily be worked on with some help, he thought to himself. Kaori then asked Nobunaga what elemental releases he possessed. His right eyebrow twitched up, having not expected the question. After a brief delay, he would uncross his arms. He held both of his hands out palms up a foot and a half in front of his chest, funneling a small amount of chakra into each palm. In his right, a small burst of wind would resonate and perhaps blow a few strands of hair around in the brief gust. In his left, a small coating of dust coated his palm. He brushed the dust off on his kimono and gave a slight smile. "I'm capable of Earth and Wind, of which I like to think I have a particular talent for the latter," he said in earnest. "I also possess the Swift Release of the Hayami, though manipulating Wind into Swift is a bit more difficult for me than I'd like."
Nobunaga would continue his conversation with Kaori, himself now interested more in what she was capable of. Iro had described her abilities quite in depth, and so he found himself curious about Kaori in this moment. "And you, Kaori," he asked in relation to her possessing elements of her own. As he began that question, the waitress would return with three more Fuzzy Navels. One more for each of them, and as Kaori was answering he would take his first. The waitress would pull a small table over and placed it on one end of the lounge couch they were on to place the other two drinks on. Then she would return, winking at him before leaving. He ignored her, focusing on Kaori instead.
Nobunaga hadn't ever had one of these drinks before, and its color disturbed him somewhat. It looked nothing like sake or ale, the two drinks he was more familiar with. Regardless, he was always interested in trying new things. He took a sip, the fruity flavor of the drink almost slapping his senses. He recoiled from the drink, his face contorting into one of mild disgust. Knowing that the first was always the worst, Nobunaga tried another sip a couple seconds later. This time it wasn't as bad, and like with other alcoholic drinks, it didn't taste bad enough so as to be undrinkable. You girls need a good pale ale, I think.
