As the ship slowed into the dock, the anticipation of the welcoming crowd became more readily apparent. The feeling of excitement washed over the travelers at the chorus of adulation. Natsumi waved to the townsfolk as he stepped onto the landing. Blossom petals brushed gently against his face and nestled themselves in his luxurious silver hair. His eyes seemed to brighten at the praise as he put on a tried and true smile. 

[color=black][i]"You do love the attention, don't you, dear?"[/i][/color] The words slithered into his mind in a husky whisper. 

[color=hotpink][i]"Why I'm just putting up a friendly face for the team is all,"[/i][/color] he retorted internally, his tone mimicking that of a child feigning innocence while wrist-deep in the cookie jar. His gleaming expression didn't flinch at the private exchange. Wading through the crowd, the party was led into the ever-so-recently mentioned noodle house. While he didn't find himself as famished as the young dragonkin, a free meal would certainly be well appreciated after their time at travel. 

As the noodles were served to him within the establishment, a point of his finger caused an invisible force to scoop the bowl and lift it to him. He bowed graciously as he took the chopsticks by hand from his server and soon set off. He spotted a woman of interesting tone of skin, nearly that of scarlet, leaning over the balcony above and made an approach. With sauntering steps, bowl hovering beside him, he made his way to the horned woman above. [color=hotpink]"I didn't know we'd such attractive competition,"[/color] he said as he leaned his side to the railing beside her. He took in a long column of noodles in the silence between words.
