"Really. Well there ya go! Stealth is your thing. Maybe fighting isn't bestsuited for you but there's no way someone can ignore the fact that you're stealthy." Okay, who was he and what happened to him? Takumi would have fainted from shock at his own words right there and then if it wasn't for Ado. Since when did he give pepspeaches?

"Not everyone seems to agree." Ado said with a sad smile. "People only seem to see how small and runty I am...." He said with a small note of bitter resentment. Oh well, he thought. He then looked curriously at Takumi. "Takumi-dono? What are you really good at, if you don't mind me asking..?"

"Well...I guess I never gave it much thought. I'd say more accuracy over anything." he motioned to the weapons scattered around the area. "Either that or my hand on fighting skills." Takumi wondered why he woukd want to know that. "and don;t be mad about your size. God, lookit Dump. small as a rodent and chattier and a bluejay, but he still cares for you and helps, right?"

"Yeah..." Ado said, staring at Dump for a moment. Dump squeaked softly and nuzzled against the child's neck, and Ado giggled despite himself. He gave the little rodent a scratch behind the ear with a finger before returning his gaze to Takumi. "So you're gunna be a great Shinobi one day! I'll be waiting for that, so don't slack, Takumi-dono!" It was as if he was talking to a much-loved older brother.

"slack? Me? Are you kidding! I work more than the Jounin who seem to run this place!" He lifted one hand to the sky trying to express himself. "And I don;t know. there are plenty of other good Jounins and Genin out there. Just saying one is great just doesn't seem right." He smiled slighty, only this time, didn't try to hide it.

"You'll best them all, Oniicha-" Ado caught himself before he finished his sentance...he had almost called Takumi "Oniichan" which meant older brother, in a rather cute form with the Chan honourific. "Er...Takumi-dono.." Ado finished, his face flushing from embarrasment.

Oh God. Takumi mentally slapped himself. Great. Now he had this kid thinking of him as his older brother. Still, it was good to have someone cheer for you, even if it was only one person. He shrugged his shoulders. "Eh. I don't think much about beating everyone. A bit too much work with all the traveling."

"I love to travel. You get to see new things you never knew existed." He said cheerfully. "Like when that girl saved me, I never knew that there were still good people in the world!" He said with a laugh. His laugh was just like his voice, childish, innocent, and pure.

"Of course there are idiot! If there weren't any good people then there would be crime and death everywhere you looked!" Takumi pushed himself up into a sitting position as he spoke, senind a small shocked expression towards Ado.

"There didn't seem to be much of it when I was smaller." He said indifferently. It was true. When Ado was in the academy, he was always the one being picked on. He was always called Runt, Squirt, Shorty, whimp, names such as that. It seemed like those names never did leave his heart where they had wounded him...

"Well, duh! there will be bullies. you jsut have to stand up to them and show them that you won't take it!" Okay, maybe not the best thing to say but hey, we're talkuing about Takumi here. The Genin sighed and layed back down. "Ah, forget it."

Ado was silent for a time. It was as if his mind was trying to proces a thought into words. THen, he finally got it out. "Takumi-dono....Do you know your real parents?" He asked. His voice was almost a whisper, and it seemed to reflect the sadness in his voice. Indeed, his eyes were like pools of baby-blue sorrow.

"Real parents? what do you mean? Like parets who give birth or the people you stay with?" He roleld over onto his side to hear better. Okay, so maybe Ado wasn't all hyper and happy like he thought. this kid could get depressed about something.

"Your actual blood parents." He said. At this time, he seemed so different from the happy child that had sat there a moment preceeding. What had happend to the happy smiles? The cheerfull laughter? The childish giggles? The innocent grinning? It had all dissapeared in the voicing of ONE question. "Are they...really that great?"

He shrugged. "Wouldn't know." His eyes seemed to show how distant he was at the moment, thinking back on his own memories to try to think of his parents. All Takumi could draw up is a blank. He sighed and looked over at Ado. "Listen, I never had real parens. Never will. They left me and I forgot them. Do not bring that up again."
