Well... you kind of ended that post at a place I can't really continue it since it has to do with your chara, but I'll post anyhow.

Toru

Their talk was boring me. So I left. As I stood, their eyes had turned towards me, and I bowed deeply several times, apologizing, and excused myself. I climbed the stairs to the deck, taking a place at the railings. The sea was calm and beautiful. There was slight movement of the sailors above deck, but not enough to disturb the silence.

Yet another leg of my journey had begun, yet another chapter to be written. I wondered whether she would be much changed if I found her. Would her mind still wander in mid sentence, her temper heighten without expectation, her eyes see what wasn't there. They were quirks, yes. But they were quirks I had grown up with, learned to love.

I do not know how much time had passed, just staring out at the glistening ocean. I glanced back when I heard footsteps behind me. A dirty sailor of a cheery disposition stopped, raising a finger in greeting. In a strained, horribly non-Japanese accent, he said,

"Konban wa."

I spun around, a smile growing on my face. "You speak Japanese! What is your name? How do you know the language? Have you ever been?"

The rapid fire of excited questions made the young man's face fall slightly in confusion. He shrugged apologetically, waving his hands to show he knew no more. He raised three fingers and, as he pointed to each, said a different phrase:

"Konban wa, chiisai, kasa."

The oddest combination of words to know in a language, I thought, for they meant, "Goodnight, little, and umbrella," respectively. I laughed and added for good measure, pointing to one finger, "Oui."

He thought that was very funny, and clapped me on the shoulder. Hard. I stumbled, he thought that was funnier and offered his hand.

"Grégoire," he said, pointing at himself.

"Toru," I replied in similar fashion, shaking his hand. He grinned widely, waved goodbye, and went off to finish whatever his original purpose had been in passing.

That was meaningless lol but I wanted to post so there. :P
