[Action: Where the rivers meet in the village]
[Sakura's arrival in Luceti comes with a short, bitten-off yell of surprise and a splash as she drops into the icy water. The white-clad figure vanishes underwater, then reappears, struggling, fighting to surface long enough to catch her breath. It's shockingly cold, iced over in places -- although thankfully not where she fell -- and even if she knows nothing else yet, she knows she must get out of the water.]
[Flailing, gasping, reeling in shock from the sudden cold, it's extremely difficult for her to get atop the water as a ninja would normally go -- but she's too cold to swim properly, she knows that all too well, and with the ice besides, she has no other choice.]
[She's proud of her own strength and control, and she makes herself display it now, pushing up out of the water and working her way until she is balanced by chakra on the surface.]
[Now, though, she's exposed to the bitter air, soaking wet, with nothing but a thin, backless white dress to cover her. And she's freezing.]
[She makes her way toward the shore, where there's a journal waiting for her. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a warm blanket or anything like one. Just the journal, with her name on it, and a biting chill to the air.]
[Video]
[Sakura's hair is is still damp when her face appears on the journals. She's managed to get dry and warmed up -- and much more warmly dressed than when she arrived -- but she looks disoriented, worried, and worn.]
I don't know what this place is, where it is, why it is. I'm not sure I even want to speculate. But if there's anyone... familiar out there, anyone who knows me -- I'm here.

I apologize! I should have remembered... Your warmth is currently a priority!
[Action]
[She wraps the coat around herself again.]
I'll get used to the wings, I guess. [Though if they stay this sore, she might just block off some nerves 8|]
[Action]
[Action]
[It's a weird feeling, someone hhavingthat much faith in her. Unless Lee is just incapable of expressing himself in anything but absolute terms. Either way, she's too used to doubting herself, and being doubted by others.]
Well, I guess I really don't have a choice in the matter!
[Action]
[It... really could be both at the same time.]
I suppose not. But at least we can make the most of it!
[Action]
If there is a way to do that. I... I'll do my best, no matter where I am.
[Action]
That is definitely a good spirit to have. There is still much to adjust to here in Luceti. But I believe you are off to a good start, Sakura-san.

[He poses and punches at the air.]
