Books are hard to find [p/nk/Kozai]

Daiko sighs, wiping his forehead. It was pretty hot on this day, and the time was about noon. He figured it was best if he started his day off with some good old fashioned book learning. Walking up the steps to the library, he opens the door and walks inside, the cooler air refreshing him. The boy would then walk over to a random bookshelf, seeing if he couldn't find something that would help him in learning more water techniques. He was happy with what he had learned so far, but decided it would be best if he could find more.

Scanning the bookshelves, Daiko's attention was kept trying to find a book. Unless, of course, someone were to interrupt his searching.

Hmmph, another kid visiting the library? Honestly, not that surprising. More and more people had been coming around lately. Thus, Kozai found that his workload had increased by a hair's breadth. It wasn't anything he couldn't handle, of course. What was interesting was that even though the boy was on the other side of the building from Kozai and the front desk, Kozai was still able to search out the kid's body and inner organs, as well as his chakra signature. Hmm, not too interesting. Still, his chakra was high for a kid his age.

Getting up, Kozai walked to the aisle that this kid was in.

"Can I help you with anything?"

Kozai would attempt to sound helpful, but instead, it came out kind of foreboding. Clearly, this was something he needed to work on.

Daiko, continuing to scan the shelves, still does not find the book that peaked his interest. Taking a few steps back, he stretches. Maybe there was someone around here that would help him out with something like this. As he turned to go find someone, he sees a dark haired man looking at him. Slightly startled, the young ninja blinks once.

The man had asked him if he required any assistance, and that was the case. The man sounded as if he was giving a threat or some kind of foreshadowing to something dark, but Daiko just ignored it. Focusing on his words, he begins talking normally, not showing any sign of being intimidated by the dangerous looking library attendant. He was going to make sure not to talk too loud on days he came in here.

"Yes, help would be great... I was looking around for books about Suiton nature or Doton nature techniques? I'm trying to learn about more for my training."

Oh, so it really was a ninja. The fact that he was here and actually trying to learn reminded Kozai of himself in his earlier days. Now, though, he gained most of his insights through experimentation, since most of the high level jutsu he was able to create were well outside the boundaries of whatever level of theory was in existence. It was interesting, though, that this kid hadn't really noticed him. Reaching out with his chakra senses, Kozai attempted to make contact with the kid's nervous system. Huh, so it looks like *that technique* wasn't quite ready yet. Fine, then. He'd just have to keep practicing.

"Second floor, west wall, 3rd shelf from the left for doton. 2nd shelf from the left for suiton. Is there anything specific you were looking for?"

Of course, he had to ask. Most probably, however, the kid was just browsing.

Daiko looked at the librarian, scratching his chin. He had no idea what jutsu in specific he was looking for, hence the reason he had come to a library. It was no matter, though, as he assumed he would find what he needed in the various books around the establishment. It was also a possibility however, that the man standing before him would be able to teach him some of the water techniques he had found, or at least point him in the direction of someone who could.

"No, I can't really think of any specific jutsu... I will probably be looking for techniques that seem useful, really. It would be very helpful if you would be able to point me in the direction of someone who would be able to teach me some of the techniques that stand out to me, or something that would be useful. I have only suiton and katon natures, though."

Daiko would look at the man, waiting for any kind of response.

OOC:

He was looking for techniques that seemed useful? Obvious, perhaps. If it hadn't been just a kid, Kozai would have been immediately on his guard for such a roundabout way of speaking. People who talked like that were up to something, he knew well. However, he decided to suppress his rising suspicions, and speak directly to what the kid needed instead. Reaching into a re-shelving cart behind him, he picked out a book. Ah, well....

"I'm a suiton user myself. Although, I don't have the time to teach you anything at the moment." With a casual toss, the book would land precisely where it had been before. "Not only that, your level of chakra seems to be inadequate for what I think you want. Still, I think I can give you something. Go ahead and read up, and meet me outside after closing time."

It would seem that the kid really wasn't dedicated to it, as he took his damn time. Well, whatever. It didn't really interrupt Kozai's daily life, or at least what was left of it, so things continued as normal. He shuttled people out, closed down the library, and that was the end of the matter.
