Arantima nodded gently along with all of the veiw points that have been shared thus far. A most interesting dynamic among the group had formed and yet there was something under toning it all that spelled some sort of end to the conversation. Arantima watched all of those present as they jousted mentally and verbally without meaning to feint or lunge or parry.. it was truly a curious discussion and yet there was something behind the pleasant demeanor of this conversation that couldnt be ignored.. There were three Immensely different persona's All immovably confident and unswaying in themselves and Someone would have to notice that while a discussion such as this may be enjoyable in some spaces. They were also All three Ninja. They were also all three of them being observed by Mizuki..

Arantima's eyes settled onto Mizuki as he watched her reactions to these words and views being discussed. The smirk that played across her lips, a smirk that no one in the room could mistake for anything else but playful delight and amusement was a blaring claxon to Arantima's mind. Expression unchanged and unshifted his eyes never left Mizu as he listened to Manjiro's response. It was respectful as ever and showed a intellect that was very advanced for most common folk.

Arantima could almost taste the growing tension in the air building. Even if that wasn't the intention of anyone gathered here in this temple now it was a truth that there was a tension to the world behind them all as the very air seemed to realize what could happen at a simple errant twitch or incorrect inflection in one direction or the other. In Arantima's mind the Image of a Mantis and a Tarantula squaring off flashed.. Both deadly creatures, capable of attacking each other but waiting for the other to make a wrong move before pouncing.

Arantima Folded his hands across his chest, the Chakram held behind his head still spinning slowly and idly behind him. His eyes now flitting between Mizuki and Manjiro "Apologies for the interruption.. But There is some business i must attend and I think perhaps this is an adequate moment to Take you back to the temple. Manjiro?" Arantima Took a step forward and offered his outstretched hand towards Manjiro the same way he had when he had brought him here just a short while ago.

The last of the sands of the metaphorical timer fell and with it, it was time to move onto the next adventure of life. With Arantima’s words Manjiro while he wished there was more to discuss could understand it was best to call it a day and leave for the time and see what fate had in store with the rest of the group in the future. With a smile Manjiro would turn to Mizuki and Yazui, “I enjoyed the short time we had together, If you are ever nearby the temple come visit sometime and we can continue out discussion.” He offered with a slight bow to Mizuki and a wave goodbye for Yazui as he had taken a liking to the young man though it did feel weird to call him a young man when Manjiro was sure he was younger.

“Let us depart then.” Manjiro would say as he took Arantima’s hand and accepted the Teleportation as he had not to long ago.

Yazui would fold his arms as the discussion continued. The first to respond was Mizuki, redirecting Yazui's question to Manjiro. All part of the game of trying to figure out what his young visitor was made of. Yazui understood this from a safety perspective, although with Mizuki there was also a hint of pleasure that she got from getting in people's minds and toying with them.

Manjiro for his part responded in a way that, to Yazui, had become characteristic of him in the short time that he knew the boy; by seemingly verbalising his train of thought on the subject in a way that almost seemed like he was musing out loud. His lack of a filter was endearing in a way; either due to his youth, personality or a combination of the two he seemed to forego any caution or hesistance in telling what was on his mind. Yazui himself smirked at the boy's answer. There was something to be said about wolves understanding pain but not caring. To Yazui, it served to make more or less the same point. But when he went to compare wolves to humans, he couldn't help but disagree or at least fail to see the point. For all Manjiro's talk about the minds of wolves not operating from a human's point of view, every day people tore each other apart like wolves. Those crises, viewpoints and norms, did they matter to the victim? If one shinobi drives a sword through the guts of another, do the moral ponderings of the victor matter in regards to the end result?

It was a more practical approach, but Yazui was nothing if not practical.

It would be interesting to see where this conversation would head further, but Arantima interupted the talk and offered to take Manjiro back to the temple. Smiling at Manjiro, Yazui would give him a nod as he departed. Whether they would ever meet again was to be seen.

With Arantima and Manjiro out, Yazui would turn to Mizuki and bow before taking his leave as well.

The expression of delight remained fixed on her features as she listened with intent to his words immediately following her prompting. An evening years ago flashed through her memory of a similar conversation - differing viewpoints coexisting in close proximity. Kenshin and the founders of Sunagakure drinking in a decimated office on filthy furniture; the memory contrasted nicely with the current surroundings. His answer seemed to boil down to awareness and morality and in that argument she heard her own past words sync up with his.

Her expression tightened in realization that he was on the verge of a worldview shift like she had been before meeting ‘The Wraith’, who hailed from Kumogakure. So it was with silent relief when Arantima cut the conversation short. With a short dismissive nod she would break her gaze on the newcomer, turning her face to acknowledge Tima. “Perfect actually, I was soon to be late for my meeting, Thank you Tima." Then turning to Manjiro and bowing her head only a little to show respect but not deep enough to be seen as deference. “ As us to you Manjiro, I look forward to our future interactions. Safe travels.”

With her dismissal and farewell she would shift her eyes to Yazui, lifting a hand out to him, “If you would be so kind Yazui as to accompany me back to the main house?”
