Warnings: N/A (will edit as needed)
i. take 1! coastal forests
[ A few weeks have passed since he arrived, and in that time, his efforts have largely focused on keeping an eye on Ichiru and securing a supply ofdrugs potions for his little blood problem. Ichiru is a nuisance sometimes, so he cools off by taking errands from his supplier in exchange for a little vial of ruby-red liquid. The deal wouldn't be so bad if he didn't go through his vials so quickly! So, here he is, on the hunt for his next fix.
Today, he's looking for a particular fruit tree that's supposed to bind two people together or some other nonesense. It grows near the beach so that's where he's headed clad in a pair of sandals, long shorts, a shirt, and a thin summer hoodie with short sleeves to keep the sun away. Near the peak of summer, the beach is filled with way too many people. Zero heads straight for the forest right off the beach, away from the crowds and starts looking.
A few hours later...
He's tired, cranky, and a little dehydrated and no closer to finding that damn tree! He finally finished his water bottle an hour ago and decided to call it quits then and there. A little closer to the beach, he's still treking through foliage, pushing away the thin branches that keep nicking him which isn't as annoying as the bugs that don't leave him alone! Looking a little worse for wear, he steadily heads back to the beach. If you happen to run into him, please do not annoy. He's grouchy and a little irritable. -_- ]
ii. zero 0:1 beach umbrella
[ So... his first attempt at finding the destiny tree failed spectacurarly, and no one is more annoyed by this than Zero. You think that would be the low point of his day, but you'd be wrong. He can always go lower. His little four hour trek through the coastal forest did a number on him and now he's stuck under a beach umbrella recovering from heat exhaustion.
A little less cranky than before, he doesn't have the energy to bite off anyone's head right now, so feel free to poke the wild beast, he won't bite; much. ]
iii. take 2! night hikes
[ His beach adventure ends in failure, but the day isn't over yet, and the night is still young. Having recovered from heat exhaustion a litlte too quickly, must be those hunter genes, Zero is back that night better prepared for a night hike. This time, he brings a hiking backpack with him, and exchanges the sandals for something sturdier. Apparently, he's not the only one who thinks it's a great night to stay out because there's quite a number of fire pits scatterd across the beach with idiots dancing around the flames while drinking.
Zero ignores them and heads into the woods. If he runs into anyone, he'll ask them if they've seen a paopu tree that looks like a palm tree with star shaped fruit, and even hands them a drawing he got from the potion maker. Any information is appreciated. ]

[ He thinks of the flowers he laid on his brother's grave before his arrival, seventeen at the time. Of his parent's graves next to it, and the plot marked off for him. A family grave. ]
While you're still alive, you struggle to keep it.
[ A lesson his master taught him not so long ago. One the kid already seemed to know. He doesn't know about demigods or the true faces of the monsters that lie in wait for him, but the feeling he felt back then begins to stir in a heart long dormant. ]
I'll help you with that if you want.

But I'll take the help.

He nods once. Understanding that line. Slowly, his eyes stray to the ocean, listening to the ocean waves crash on the sandy beach. ]
Kiryuu Zero.
You can find me under that name.

[Kiryuu sounds Asian, Japanese, he thinks, and he knows they do family name first.
And Zero doesn't sound like it would be used as a family name, but people do name their kids weird things]
Which do you like being referred to?
[Gokudera went by his surname.]
no subject
[ A very prominent one in certain circles. ]
Either's fine.
[ He's not particularly stuck on formalities. ]
