Dirt [Escape from the Invasion]

  Looking around the crowded space the Kumogakure refugees had been lead to, Muu's lazy expression could convey nothing less then boredom or maybe indifference. Muu might have been a shinobi and he might care about the village but he wasn't strong enough nor was he talented enough in his medical prowess to be of any use during a major fight. So he went with the others to escape to the freedom of some kind of cavern for shelter. He sat atop a stack of creates against on of the walls, knees to his chin as he looked around for something interesting in the mass of people.

However it wasn't his eyes that lead him to entertainment here in the gloomy place of heated emotions, but his ears. From his left side he heard rocks being struck together, and turned his lazy gaze at the source. A older girl in a pretty dress sat on the ground not far from him. He watched her with his sleepy dark green eyes as she made a few sparks as moments passed with her paying him no attention. She had nice hair too, it matched the color of her dress almost and it was at that point Muu thought about other purple things... or the lack there of that he could think of. But he did remember that grape things were usually purple and he liked those.

Until now he had his arms around his legs holding them, but now he pointed at the older girl with his left hand, wiggling his unusually long, pointed green nail at her. Muu had decided he wanted to ask her something, so he would do this for a few moments, staring with his indifferent/lazy expression before muttering to her, "Hey... Hey you Purple. Hey Purple."

He would just repeat this, while wiggling his finger at her in his feeble attempt at getting her attention.

After waiting for her attention to fall to him for a few moments, all the while wiggling his little finger and muttering to her, he was a little caught off guard when she finally acknowledged him. Upon hearing her words he stopped the finger wiggle, and merely pointed making no sound but staring blankly back at her, blinking occasionally.


Muu had almost forgotten what he had intended to ask her in the first place, so caught up in the active attempt of getting her attention. He looked at her red eyes, but quickly disregarded them. Red, that wasn't it, there was something else. Then his eyes drifted back to her hair, that was it! Purple! He put his arm back around his legs, but kept his head turned to her as he spoke, "Hey Purple. Do you have any sweets?". The question had no grounds of which to be asked of course, Muu had no reason to ask her for such a thing or any reason to believe she would actually have some. He merely saw purple, and thought grape sweets and assumed maybe she had some.

Then there was the other issue with him ignoring her question. It wasn't deliberate mind you its just that Muu didn't really process the fact that she had spoken to him really. He just knew he had her attention now and that he could finally ask his question. He kept looking at her, his gaze almost like that of a sleepy child, blinking occasionally with a blank expression as he waited for her answer. He would really like some sweets right now. Or food in general. Then he remembered why he couldn't enjoy such things, cause they were all stuck in this "shelter". Hopefully they'd be free soon, till then he considered how long he'd pester this new Purple... Sweets first he decided.

     Blinking his eyes slowly, Muu watched Purple, she claimed to have exactly what he'd asked for but yet she refused to share. He didn't understand her smile either, everyone else was all in a huff cause of the village problem that had brought them all together, and yet Purple was smiling. Still looking at her with his lazy eyes he spoke aloud, "Purple has the sweets but is selfish... that's no good. Does that mean no grape sweets for Muu?" The green headed boy looked forward again, then scratched his head before his hand snapped down, pointing his sharp little nail at Purple in an abrupt manner. 

Tilting his head to the other side he looked at her from the corners of his eyes, keeping his head forward as he spoke to her in an even, questioning tone, "Fine Purple have it your way. But one day you might need my help and i might be inclined not to give it to a fancy pants candy hoarder!" He spoke to her directly this time, and it was more apparent due to his pointing and shifty glare. He was trying his strong arm tactic cause he didn't know what else to do but he defiantly wanted some form of candy right now. 

Just then a boom shook the walls of the cavern, causing dirt and pebbles to fall over the entire group like some kind of short lived sprinkle of rain.

Panic arose over the crowd and Muu turned his attention forward as the crowed moved closer to him and Purple. Muu didn't like that one bit and for some reason his lazy, bored expression turned into something similar to disdain mixed with anger. He then promptly slapped his legs with both hands and stood up on the crates upon which he had been sitting. Patting off the fallen dirt he yelled at the crowd moving towards them, "HEY! SETTLE DOWN BEFORE YOU MAKE ME ANGRY PLEASE!"

Those close to them heard the angry yell of the little green boy and turned to look at him in surprise, but they had calmed down at least. At least except for one taller guy,standing just under Muu even when he stood upon the crates, who pushed his way passed the crowd to walked up to Muu with an assertive expression on his face, "And why should we care about how you feel ya pointy haired freak?" He looked back to the crowd as if for back up or like he was actually asking them the question rather then Muu. Well the young shinobi didn't appreciate that one bit and respectfully Punched the man in the face as he turned back to face him. Caught off guard, the man would stumble back, stunned by the hit and falter back into the crowd. 

Muu would then sit back on the crate, landing with his legs crossed and his hands on his legs, a small puff of dirt rising around him. His perturbed expression was clear as he let out a big forced sigh. He rubbed his face with both hands and looked back at Purple, his expression back to his usual lazy look almost as suddenly as it had changed previously. "Well candy hoarder? You share with Muu maybe?"

            Absently Muu had observed Purple aggressively kiss the man he’d recently punched for getting lippy with him, and command him to stay as if he were some sort of pet of hers.  She returned to her spot afterwards, but Muu’s expression didn’t change, he was as uninterested as ever with a mind mostly set on his current desire for candy. But the recent behavior of Purple was peculiar, as far as Muu could tell of how people normally act. But Muu was certainly peculiar himself so he wasn’t a great judge on what was normal exactly.
 
As he eyed her with his lazy gaze, he absently reached into his coat pocket with his right hand, withdrawing a sucker, unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth.  She had called him little but he didn’t care much for that. His size didn’t bother him that much but he was becoming more interested in her and less interested in his candy obsession. Although he had been initially interested in getting candy from “Purple’, he did have some of his own, he just wanted something grape and the sucker he had just opened was in fact apple.
 
“You’re a strange one. So Purple, what do people call you besides Purple?”
 
He was slightly interested in her name, as he absently expanded his senses, feeling her chakra as well as the chakra around him. Something he’d gotten in the habit of doing since his recent chakra sensing training. It didn’t usually do much for him aside for help him recognize people he didn’t remember really.
