Patrol the village

The mission:

It seemed today was going to be another day for another dollar. Since he had managed to deal with all ten of his assigned D rank missions they had decided to assign Tadara with a partner for a C rank mission for the day. For Tadara this was to be expected but he was unsure of their motives. If he continued to do good work would they begin to assign him to B rank missions? He wasn't built well for combat so he had some concerns. Of course his opinion differed greatly once he saw the weather outside. It was a downpour. Even the mission slip had been a little soaked when they delivered it. He would frown as he realized most of the experienced shinobi would rather stay dry and so he had gotten the bottom rung on the ladder for this. At least it appeared Katsumi was his named partner for this one. Still the two of them would be doing arduous work for the time being. So he would sigh and begin preparing for the day. They had a patrol route and everything. Observe and report only so they wouldn't actually be expected to engage any trouble they encountered.

Tadara had picked up a pair of binoculars from his limited supplies at home and a poncho with rain gear underneath. Normally the two of them would simply sit somewhere and his bees would handle the patrol. However in this heavy of rain the bees would be grounded quickly. Even if they pushed through the rain it would be exhausting for them and his yin energy would be thrown off. So Tadara would be found awaiting Katsumi on a roof top at the start of their patrol. A wealthier neighborhood that just wanted some extra security patrols it seemed. Times were rough after all. Still Tadara was standing there in a grey poncho with brown rain gear with orange reflectors around the ankels and wrists that were visible. The rain splattering off his gear as he awaited Katsumi. Preferring the roofs to keep off them muddy streets. Even in rain boots it was more comfortable above. His black eyes would glance through the downpour awaiting his ally. A friend even? Unlikely...how did one make friends? Was it as simple as association? Either way he would need to attempt it. Perhaps some social interaction outside of missions? What did people do for social interactions?

Tadara would watch as his counterpart arrived and greeted him. Mentioning how simple a mission it would be before explaining that he wasn't good with sensory. Neither was Tadara technically but he didn't correct him. Just a quiet nod for now. Was he supposed to say something? Social interactions suggested so in the books. A virtual series of books with a how to on talking to others. Mostly self help books written by authors so interested in suckling their own tit....that was besides the point. He was...happy? Yes that was likely the sensation. Like when he discovered a new strain or chemical in the lab. He was comforted by the fact that Katsumi had arrived. However before he could finish deliberating the appropriate response the young man had already hopped off the roof and proceeded to patrol down below. A strange lad but he had a point. They covered more ground and could see more details from the different angles of above and below. What an intelligent young man. He would need to raise the young mans rating from yellow to green in his book. Talented and responsible...the village seemed to agree. Otherwise the two of them wouldn't have been upgraded to C ranks.

Still Tadara would make slow progress across the rooftops and observe everything he could. Careful around edges to avoid slipping and even using supernatural walking practice to make sure he wouldn't fall. From roof to roof he went but no one was walking the streets. The wealthy didn't go out in this weather it seemed. Still they patrolled in detail for the route they had been ordered to and aside from a couple of animals picking through trash as animals did, they found nothing. Tadara found this fruitful for them since it meant they were not placed in any danger. A good paycheck for the future if they could repeat this. The wealthy found comfort in shinobi patrolling for them and the two genin got paid for an hour of walking around. Once they were done Tadara would walk down the wall with his supernatural walking practice and come to a stop on the ground as black eyes glanced to Katsumi. "It was good that it was you here with me. We shall work again together shortly I'm sure." It was curt but it covered the basics. It said he preferred Katsumi over others and that he looked forward to working together again. Right? Well either way Tadara would go fill out a very detailed report and go home to dry and clean his outfit.
