Phade stepped inside the Jade Dragon, a popular tea shop in Sakyugakure. She often stopped her to relax in between training and missions. She came up to the counter and greeted Iroh. She ordered a rosemary chai tea with low fat creamer in it. Phade sat there and waited for her order, giving one of her signature yawns.

Takeru was sitting at a table on the other side of the Jade Dragon, he had had a meeting there previously with an old friend, a retired shinobi who he often met with to discuss times long gone. That had laughed, and mourned for those who had been lost. Especially Kailie. His friend had just left, but Takeru remained, enjoying the time to himself and being able to relax. He spotted Phade sitting alone at a table, and tried to catch her eye, giving her a warm smile and beckoning to the table he sat at.

Phade took a break from watching Iroh make her tea and looked around the Jade Dragon. She noticed a big bulky guy with an eyepatch and instantly blushed as he was looking right at her. After a second she realized it was Takeru and she smiled and waved. Phade got up and walked over to his table and sat down next to him. "Hey Takeru-San" she said kindly, glancing over her shoulder to check and see if her tea was done.

Takeru made eye contact with Iroh as the girl sat down, beckoning so that he knew to bring the girls tea to this table. The two men were long time acquaintances, and recently Iroh had begun teaching Takeru a game called Pai-Sho. "It is good to see you Phade, what brings you here?" Takeru took another sip of his tea, Jade today, another thing he had discovered through his friend.

Phade smiled back, "oh not much, taking a day off. Thought I'd start it with some of Iroh's famous tea, I love how he does the Rosemary, its perfected." she said happily. "what about you? What're you doing here?" she asked, surprised he didn't have a pile of papers in front of him. Just then Iroh walked over with her tea.

Takeru took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. The sunlight was drifting in through the front windows of the Jade Dragon, and the light was reflecting off the tiny motes of dust that hung in the air. The product of the effect was a dance of fireflies swirling around the rays of light. "I was here with a friend, to remember-" He paused for a moment to compose himself. "Things that are gone". He took another sip of his tea, and as Iroh came over asked him to please get him another, it seemed he would be here a while longer yet. "Sometimes in life, it is nice to sit back and look over your life, and to think about where you are headed next."

Phade thanked Iroh and took a sip of her tea. It was perfectly made like always, not too sweet, not too strong, not too watery, not too creamy. "Ahh I see" she said, looking out the window at the activity in the streets. "Sounds like old people stuff." she said with a laugh. "All jokes aside thats good, I'm glad you got to do that. Someone who works as hard as you do deserves a break." she said, taking another sip of her tea.

Takeru looked into his cup of tea, the fluid moving slightly as he raised it, he paused before taking a sip. "Old people stuff indeed, sometimes it seems as if the time i was your age was just yesterday. Although, i am not that old Phade." It seemed all manner of people were calling him old these days, though, he supposed he called others young just as much. He certainly didn't feel old, his body was a mass of honed muscle, and his mind was sharper than it ever was. He was a exquisite specimen of a man, he had to be, to ensure his goals could be reached. "You'd be surprised at how little i work sometimes, it seems to come in waves you see. One day i'll be keeping to myself, the next i wont know when i'll have time to eat or sleep"

Phade laughed, "I know, I was just messing with you.". She looked back to the window as she took another sip, It was so hot out there. "Sometimes I really hate the heat here, say, you ever been to Korigakure?" she said, her mind wandering off to the arctic tundra, full of rabbits and deer, the best part was the lower temperatures, Phade disliked the heat. "I heard its pretty there, and the best part is it isn't hot there like it is there." she said dreamily.

Takeru's face darkened, his brows creasing and he felt a stab of anger welling up. He shot it down immediately, he was no longer the hot tempered young man he once was, but mention of the Rebellion still caused his blood to burn. "I have never been to Korigakure, the war has lasted far too long. Those, Rebels-" He spat the word like a curse, "Have meant that we cannot enjoy all of the beauty this world offers, this war needs to end, it has been far too long. I have lost too many friends, seen too many people not return from missions, for it to go on any longer." He looked at Phade sadly, she was still young, and she had an innocence about her that couldn't help but lighten his mood. "Perhaps one day Korigakure will come back into the Empire, and you can visit it then."

Phade looked down solemnly. "The empire has killed just as many re-" she caught her tongue. He was obviously very strong on the side of the empire. If Phade revealed she was completely neutral she might cause unrest between the two of them. "Yeah... the war is sad. I hate seeing people die." she said, "On both sides" she added, breaking eye contact from Takeru. Phade knew she was young, but she still had strong opinions, she felt the empire and the rebels were no different from eachother, each fought meaninglessly for what? Peace? Phade held back a laugh, there will never be peace unless the two give up their hatred and unite.

Keeping the emotion from his face was one of the hardest things Takeru had ever had to do. He placed his cup back down onto its saucer, he feared he might shatter it if he held onto it for much longer. He had heard the words coming out of her mouth, and even though she had stopped, he could tell what she was going to say next. His good eye was cold fire, and despite keeping the rest of his face calm, it was that which betrayed him. "Phade," He began carefully, keeping his voice level. " Phade, you are young, and you have grown up during a time where the war has been somewhat quiet, but make no mistake, this war started because the Rebellion decided that they no longer wanted to be a part of the Empire, a part of the peace we had created. They left, they started the killing, and it is because of them, that we still fight today. He kept his voice level with a modicum of effort, and he kept eye contact with the girl the whole time, he did not want to seem cruel, but she had no idea what war and the hardships of life were like.

Phade looked into his eyes and saw it, she saw it all. "I may be young, but I'm not unknowing of the world outside the village. I know much of what goes on out there actually. I'll be honest, it disgusts me. The rebels are foolish, the empire..." she paused, finished off her tea. "I'll be right back." she walked over to the counter to order another cup of tea. That was just an excuse of course, she really just wanted time to clear her thoughts and find a way to avoid further confrontation. She asked Iroh for the same thing she had gotten earlier. Her thoughts wander back to the past, a few months ago there was this guy she liked alot, but it turned out he was supplying information to the rebels, she knew this was wrong, but what happened after that was worse. She peeped from around the corner as a soldier slaughtered him. That was when she lost her hope in the empire bringing peace. Phade tryed to see the good in the empire after that, and she realized that that soldier wasn't ordered to kill him, in fact the soldier probably got in trouble for it, but she was blinded by the distress of losing her loved one.

Takeru sat still and watched the girl as she moved away to order more tea. Perhaps he had been a bit too harsh with how he worded what he said, but she had to understand, had to know, that things were not as simple as they seemed to her young eyes. It seemed that she had some reason to be upset with the empire, or with the war in general, and he resolved that when she came back to the table he would ask her.

Phade didn't come back to the table until her tea was ready, she thanked Iroh again and sipped it down so she could walk over without spilling it. She walked over to the table and sat down in her seat silently, sipping on her tea and avoiding eye contact with Takeru.

Takeru sighed, "Phade, i am sorry if i came across as harsh. I am not a soft man, everything about me has been hardened by the experiences of my life. I hope you never have to end up like me." He paused for a moment, he wanted to be tactful about what he said next. "You seem to have been hurt, if you don't ask me asking, why is it this affects you so?" Finally trusting himself not to break the fragile teacup, he began sipping it it again.

Phade regained eye contact with Takeru again, she took another sip of her tea. "I know, you have good intentions, I see that." she said lightly. Phade's eyes widened at his next question and once again she broke eye contact. "What? no I'm not hurt..." she lied, she felt bad about lying but, she didn't want to talk about 'him' she had never talked to anyone about it, and she wasn't gonna start now, she trusted Takeru for now but, she sighed, she barely knew him.

Takeru paused for a moment, giving Phade a level glance with his eye. "Very well then, it is not my place to pry, nor do i wish to invade on your personal life without reason," Takeru watched her as he sipped more of his tea, she reminded him of one of the chuunin girls he had led earlier in his life, she had been much the same of Phade was. He sat in silence, watching her, silence was a friend of those who had lived a longer life, they learned to enjoy the quiet moments more.

Phade continued drinking her tea. Watching out the window. Seeing more then just the people walking by, leading their busy lives. In their faces she saw their joy, their pain, their sadness, and their anger. Sadly the negative emotions out populated the positive ones. She sighed and looked down. "Well... if you ever go to Korigakure, would you be willing to take me with you?" she asked him, looking up at him with fiery blue-green eyes. She wanted to see more outside of the dunes, the sand, the repeating scenery that she had grown up around. It was all so fragile. In a second an army could storm the village and kill them all, but yet it seemed so peaceful. Even knowing the possibilities Phade felt at peace there in that little tea shop, it was an ironic truth.

Takeru considered her words for several moments, she had somehow during the course of their conversation brought up a plan he had been developing in secret, a plan only one other person in the world knew anything about. He considered her carefully before speaking. "I do not plan on going to Korigakure anytime soon, but if it is ever freed from the Rebels, perhaps i will bring you along with me." He gave her a smile at last, she didnt deserve to be treated harshly, especially by him.

Phade studied him for sometime before breaking the silence. "Well if you change your mind, let me know." she said at last. She took another sip from her tea. "I heard the rebel Kage there is a girl. Kinda gives me hope." she said jokingly. "We just got plain old Neo" she laughed.

Takeru laughed long and loud at the girls last statement, many of the other inhabitants of the store looked at him crossways for a moment before returning to their tea, and Iroh shot him a bit of a grin . "Plain old Neo indeed Phade. An if one Magunetto can make it to Kage, perhaps there is even more hope for you yet" Still chuckling slightly Takeru reached up his hand to wipe away a smidgen of moisture which had formed in the corner of his eye from the laughing. The girl would have no idea why he found her comment so funny, the truth of it was that he himself thought that many of the Kage throughout the world at the moment were young and inexperienced.

Phade looked at him with an odd glance at his outburst of laughter, then smiled kindly, and took the last gulp of her tea. "Well thats the last of my tea." she said, looking down at the tea cup, almost with a solemn look. She sighed as she was glad she narrowly dodged talking about what happened to that boy she cared for. Phade liked Takeru quite a bit, but she wouldn't tell that story to anyone, even him. She gave one of her usual yawns that occur for no reason whatsoever.

Takeru raised his teacup one last time to see that it was finally empty, and he was not inclined to have Iroh fetch him another, he had already had several today and despite how much he enjoyed it, it still cost him ryo for each cup. "It seems i am keeping you up Phade, and there are still other matters i have to do today. I am preparing a trip, and i must speak to others about the implications of it before the sun is down. This was a very pleasant conversation." He rose and took a step around the table to leave, as he passed her he paused and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Take care Phade, it has been good to talk to you without having senbon thrown at me. Remember that pain never lasts, it will dull with time, and then you can move on." With a gentle squeeze and a smile he removed his large hand from her shoulder, and strode out of the Jade Dragon, he didn't worry about payment, Iroh could charge his account directly. Despite what he had said to Phade about moving on, there was still something he had to do before he could. His face darkened as he walked towards the station, soon, he would be able to finally get rid of his own pain.

Phade smiled at his last comment, "Thank you, I... It means a lot to me. I'll be sure to see you off when you leave for your trip!" she said finally, she of course had no idea what he was planning on doing. Phade got up and left the Jade Dragon as well, thinking back on their conversation. She sighed, pushing the idea of a younger Takeru out of her mind. But her mind wandered back to what would happen if he was her age. She shook her head and removed that thought from herself and then continued walking on her way home.
