"At least the weather's nicer here..."

A gentle, rising breeze carried through his hair as he stood at the cemented rise above the water, while the man himself stared quietly out towards the cloudy sky; Zoro would never have admitted it out loud, but despite having been whisked away from any sign of familiar surroundings, he felt somewhat at home as he watched a lonely boat, the only one out on the water, gliding across the silky lake. Perfectly silent, standing as firmly as a statue with his lean, strong arms crossed over his chest, he simply stood there with his lips curled into a slight frown and his chin firmly, stubbornly clentched.

Just what was with that 'tutorial', though? he wondered quietly, his expressions changing briefly as he thought to himself. Mere moments after he arrived by the train, he'd practically been shoved off by the conductor; maybe he had come off as a tad bit rude when he had repeatedly interrupted the man's glowing breakdown of the school they were headed to and its inspiring history, but that was no reason to throw him off.

After learning a bit about himself - things that he suddenly 'knew' upon arriving, like his 'Weapon' - he had slipped on his new glove, shrugged casually, then began his journey, heading immediately for the central building. Apparently, this was the place to go for a good meal, and Zoro's stomach was already growling.

...so, how did he wind up at the jetty? The guy at the booth said I just had to go straight ahead, but there was a building in my way, so I just made one turn, he mentally grumbled.

So long as he was there, he felt, he might as well enjoy the view. There was no way he had already gotten lost; no, someone else had just given him bad directions. He'd find his way when he was good and ready.


"...dammit, I'm still hungry..."

"What're you doing out here if you hungry?" Huashi asked brightly from behind Zoro, a safe distance (that was, at least two of her own body-lengths) away. She still didn't trust most people here, even with everybody smelling human (well, except for the golden-haired one. He was not human.
