Listen and Read

Mugen made a nonchalant shrug when Keldran started laughing “Hey doesn’t matter how I do it I still win” Mugen listened to him give his knowledge about Mugen’s clan and his power and nodded along with him “Well, at first I thought it was triggered by emotions, but lately its started to dawn on me that it might be the other way around, that I’m reacting to chakra I just can’t control. Like, when I enter those stages, those uhh Sage Transformations, I’m no longer all there, half the time I don’t even know what I’m doing, like … turning my arm into axes and stuff, I don’t know how it happens, it just does. And early on I realized that my chakra felt different o other people’s more um … raw I guess” Mugen nodded to Keldran’s suggestion to master it “Well that’s what I figured, I’ve got nothing else to do with myself except wander and take in the sights, might as well …” He put his hands together and made a mock monk voice “Find my inner balance and peace” He shrugged “Maybe we’ll run into a sage or two one day”. It was after this that he walked off to get dressed.

As he came back he jumped up and snatched Keldran’s shirt from the branch and chucked it to him “Here”. Mugen took his seat again, still waiting for the fish which looked pretty much done at this point. He motioned towards Keldran’s sword “Sometime you should teach me to fight with a weapon; I don’t wanna rely on my Sage mode all the time. Not until I get it under control anyway. Though I don’t think swords are really up my alley y’know?”

Mugen watched hungrily as Keldran took the fish from the fire almost digging in immediately after Keldran handed three over “Three for me and two for you?” He took another bite “Seems unfair. I ain’t complaining though” He slowed down his eating after the first fish, his knowing hunger satisfied now so he could just enjoy the meal, most of the bones Mugen ate but things like the head, tail and spine he tossed away, nodding along as Keldran spoke, even grinning when he mentioned his intelligence “Nah, opinionated more like it”

Mugen looked up when Keldran asked about hobbies. He seemed to zone off for a moment as he pondered the question. His mind drifted back to days before Konoha, when he was living in a small dojo. “Bird watching” He said as if it was the most normal thing in the world “I used to watch birds with my sister” He took another bite “In the past few years I sort of … haven’t done it as much. It brings mixed emotions” Mugen looked up, the one eye he kept open seemed just a bit more watery than usual “What about you? Besides making swords and swinging them about”
