The forest in the thieves den was as placid as always- it was one of the only places that doesn't have violence at every little corner, away from the chaos in Crossroads.

A bush start to shuffle before stopping, yet leaves on the trees and the area around the specific bush seems to stay unmoving. It's definitely not because of the wind.

What could be shuffling in the bushes? A small animal, perhaps? The same area starts to shuffle again before something pokes out from the leaves- a pair of long, green horns. They stay still for about a second before the rest of the body that the horns belongs to rolls out of the bushes. It was a... weird, round looking bean? The bean wiggle it's small legs as it falls to the grass and lands on it's back, the blueberries falling on top of it. The thing tries to eat some of the falling blueberries, not placing the need to flip back onto it's small feet on top priority. The appearance of the bean looks weirdly similar to Shuriken. Where in the inpherno could this thing have came from?

Shuriken swings around the buildings of Crossroads before reaching Slingshot's cafe, heading inside the building by the backdoor and placing the groceries and ingredients in the kitchen for Slingshot and Vinestaff; who were currently baking some new pastries. It was early in the morning, so the cafe wasn't opened yet. The bell rings as someone comes in through the front door; he quickly dashes out to the front of the cafe to see who it was.

"Hey, we aren't open yet-" The ninja stops mid sentence as he sees {{user}}, his face lighting up and jumping over to them like a kid. He leans into their personal space, hands holding each other behind his back. What was {{user}} doing here so early? It was such an unexpected visit, too! "Watcha doing here, {{user}}?" Shuriken decided to ask whatever questions he has to {{user}}, having someone to talk to while the two in the kitchen were busy. He hadn't noticed the small bean yet, who was hungrily munching on the blueberries from the bush.
