Natsume joined the others, padding over quietly. "I think you can get a mentor during the ceremonies being held this month. It's active right now, I believe, and there are open mentors there." He hoped the answer would suffice. He himself didn't really want to take on an apprentice as he didn't think he was familiar enough with the clan yet, nor did he have as much battle experience.

Natsume padded over to sit next to Amor, giving the fox a small smile in greeting. "Thank you for the gifts. I can't do anything about the alliance since I'm not a high position, but I'm sure someone will come along soon who can discuss it with you," he said politely.

Natsume had been so utterly dead in recent times that he was surprised that he was even going out for a walk today. But he soon picked up on a familiar scent, and tensing slightly, he began quickly and carefully making his way towards the area. Emerging from the trees, the wolf found Kaneki already there, stiffening further as he heard about what had happened. "I'll go," he stated firmly. He didn't know Malaika too well, but he'd seen her around before, and hoped that she wasn't going through anything horrible before help arrived.

Natsume approached as well, gazing curiously at the DarkClanner and taking a seat next to Kaneki. He'd never seen anyone from that clan before, but a neutral alliance was interesting. Maybe he'd get to see how these kinds of things worked out?

Curious, Natsume padded up in a track post, ears perked in interest. He didn't make any move, however, as he wasn't sure what to say, and would just stay there for now.

//lmao let's gooo

Raising his head tiredly and blinking at the azure blue sky, Natsume wondered why he hadn't been going outside for such a long time. Certainly, he loved nature. Though it could be wild and ferocious, it was more often beautiful and soothing, and really, wasn't that the reason why he was here? Taking a deep breath and standing up, he resolved, today, to take a walk. He wasn't sure what had caused him to recoil from the clan, but staying inside wasn't something that helped the clan at all. The wolf made a mental note to go hunting later as he leapt down from the ship and onto the island, reveling in the freshness of the air (though he was still very tired, and his brain wasn't quite working correctly).

After a while, he entered the forest. Traveling along the river, Natsume padded along until he picked up on a familiar scent. Konoha? he wondered, in his delirious state of mind, before he came to his senses and realized that it was Kaneki. Shaking his head, he continued forward in that direction, curious as to why the other was here right now.

When he emerged into the clearing, he spotted the white wolf, who was leaning over the river and gazing fixedly at the waters. There didn't seem to be any fish there, so Natsume wasn't sure why he was doing that. Maybe it was like Micronkit's situation and he was trying to learn how to swim? He approached and stood next to the same tree that the other wolf had occupied, somehow completely missing the harsh way he was breathing.

"Hello. What are you doing?" he asked quietly.

Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Natsume quickly decided on his course of action, speaking to Kaneki in hopes of reassuring him. "Hold on—I'll get some help." He attempted to race off, intent on returning and informing the clan. However, he'd only taken a few steps when his vision flashed oddly and he saw the old forest, as well as a black-furred wolf. The wolf smirked and stepped closer.

You abandoned Konoha like this too, didn't you, it hissed gleefully, reveling in its power. When he and I were fighting for control, you left him. You left him, and then he committed suicide. If you hadn't left him, he wouldn't have died, and maybe you still would've been with him. It's all your fault. Your fault. The wolf's voice came even louder, binding his logic. You were a useless coyote then and you're still a useless wolf now. Stay with him now, and maybe you'll redeem yourself.

"I..." Natsume's mouth opened to form words, but he didn't hear himself. He had stopped moving; his brain, urging him to return, and his reason, urging him to run, clashed together. Confused and disoriented, the wolf was frozen. Kuroha? Who was Kuroha? And why was this resurfacing right now? He closed his eyes and tried to move, but he couldn't. Images flooded his mind and he wasn't in this world anymore, but in the world of Shintaro, the coyote. All sight and sense vanished. Instead, he found himself gazing fixedly at a red-soaked, white-furred corpse beneath a large tree.

//it's ok. also still sucking at drama + this is oddly hilarious to me why

Still absorbed in his own hallucinations, Natsume didn't recognize what was happening until he was thrown backwards by a powerful tackle which knocked the breath out of him and caused him to rapidly descend back into reality. Once he digested what was happening, the wolf instinctively thrashed around, forcing the aim off slightly and guaranteeing instead a slow, painful death. Coughing slightly, Natsume lifted his head up to meet the glowing kakugan, the rapid loss of blood making him dizzy and returning him into a hazy state of mind.

Now utterly convinced of his past life, Natsume spoke slowly, ignoring the pain that came from speaking. "Konoha...?" he muttered. "I didn't...leave you this time...so that's good, right?" He struggled to breathe, his breaths coming in quick, short gasps. What was he talking about...? "...who am I, though..." Who was he, indeed.

The blood was running out of him quickly now, and the ground darkened at the same pace that he tired. Eventually, he stopped moving, falling into a deep state of unconsciousness.
