Tsunade had sent out a messenger to get Suoh to come to her office. This boy had been running around her village a little to long without being brought in. This meeting would determine weather or not he would be staying in this village.

Suoh wasn't thrilled with the prospects of meeting the hokage, but orders were orders and he did as instructed. He came, as bidden, and for a change he looked what Sudah would have called "moderately presentable": His pants and dress shirt were clean, and while not pressed, they were wrinkle free. He'd have to thank Oki later for the trick about throwing dry clothes in the dryer with a damp towel in place of ironing when she came home... The dress shirt was only buttoned midway up his torso, but he worse a white muscle shirt beneath it. His forehead protector was tied around his right thigh, black wraps were wound around each wrist, and his left wrist sported a silver-black string of prayer beads, wrapped four times. His hair was pulled back away from his face, save for a few strands that were too short to reach the ponytail.
He stood straight, for a change, when he knocked on the office door.

There was a Pause and then Shizune, the Hokage's assistant, opened the door and looked at Suoh. "You'll have to wait a little longer. The hokage is currently in a meeting." She told him.

Suoh nodded and offered a small bow to Shizune. "Whenever it's most convenient for her."
He turned smartly to begin making his way down the hall. If he had to wait, he'd sooner to it outside where he could at least distract himself with people watching.

"Don't go far." She called to him before closing the door.

Suoh nodded and made his way outside. He sat on the steps, wishing he had thought to bring his cigarettes with him; he likely had enough time for a quick smoke, or a very slow one, before the hokage finished with her meeting. He hoped it was soon. He hated to to deal with people in positions of power, it made him uncomfortable. But he'd behave himself. This was Oki's hokage, and her word would do more to affect his stay than any orders he could receive from home. His manners would be perfect, even if they felt like they belonged to someone else entirely.

It was over an hour before someone came to get Suoh. It was Shizune again. "Sorry for the wait. The Hokage will see you now." He told her.

Suoh had been staring absently off into nothingness when Shizune came for him. At her words, he looked up and nodded, standing and making his way back to the hokage's office. Again he knocked at the door.

Suoh swallowed and pushed the door open, stepping calmly into the hokage's office. "You wished to see me?"

"She. Take a seat.' She told him slipping some files away and sitting back in her chair with a deep sigh.

Suoh took the offered seat, folding his hands in his lap. "I'd like to thank you, hokage-sama, for allowing my stay in your village. It's been very much appreciated."

"We have accepted Oki into our village so when we found out who you were we allowed you access. We should have had this meeting long ago." She told him but her voice wasn't harsh. "How long do you plan to stay?" she asked him.

"Until I'm called back to Bear Country, if that's acceptable to you. It's been a very long time since I've seen my sister. I never thought I would. So I would spend as much time as I'm able to with her; we're both still very much discovering one another."

She nodded. "And what do you do in your country?" She asked him.
