Of course the ronin hadn't exactly abandoned the boy, rather she got up a fair bit earlier and instead of lounging about she decided to step out to get some fresh air. When Saku, who's name truthfully was probably made up, exited the cave he'll encounter her just outside. The first notable thing about Akane on this morning was her clothing, or well retaliative lack of, although that's not to say she was completely in the buff. Cloth wrapping around her chest, and a simple pair of pants kept her decent; while then her kimono, socks, and sandals were piled in a neat stack close to the cave entrance. 

Akane was in the middle of what appeared to be a series of exercises as she slashed and stabbed at empty air with her sword. Saku's presence was still unknown to the woman as she continued to practice by displaying a wide variety of techniques, her skin slick and shining with to sweat. It was perhaps five minutes until she finally noticed the boy standing around, and once she did then stopped to wave at the kid. [color=slateblue]"Hey!"[/color] She called out, her breaths somewhat rough from her recent burst of activity. [color=slateblue]"You were sleeping in so I decided to get a bit of practice in, would much rather spar instead honestly, but eh there's still something to gain from poking at the air I guess."[/color] 

The ronin sheathed her blade then started to walk up towards Saku, [color=slateblue]"Well, you got your promised night by a fire, but I figured it would be rude to suddenly disappear, still I would like to remind you that I haven't agreed to anything more."[/color] Akane sighed, laying a hand on her hip. [color=slateblue]"That said, also have to admit that I'm convinced you'll end up dead before long, making my effort from last night be for nothing... you're going north, right?"[/color]
