Two strangers meet on a picturesque landscape, seemingly lifted straight from the cover of a magazine. Vibrant, nigh-over saturated, yet somehow at the same time subtly muted colours bombard the senses, creating a surprisingly balanced contrast between the two. Despite feeling rather out of place in such a verdant landscape, Shayde kept his typical cool, composed façade up rather well, though it was absolutely no match for the nigh-perfectly tranquil expression that constituted his student's face, unwavering in it's sheer neutrality. Taking a second to look the undoubtedly confident woman over, she was not what Shayde expected when he was asked to help a fellow Uchiha in their pursuit of power. Instead of a harsh gaze, hair blacker than an abyss, and wildly militant clothing, she had soft muted features, burning auburn hair, and clothing befitting a civilian, instead of one of the most notorious, and powerful Shinobi Clans in the Ninja World. Indeed, this woman was bound to be full of surprises...
"Well, you're certainly... Not what I expected, not that that's a bad thing. I'm just used to women Uchiha women being... Hmm, how to put this delicately... Absolutely terrifying? Though I guess I'm getting ahead of myself here. You've got plenty of time to prove me wrong... My name's Shayde, and I guess you're already blatantly aware why I'm here."
Giving Lana plenty of time to introduce herself, and make any comments, observations, or quips, if she was the kind of person to engage in such banter, before he resumed.
"Okay, so to start, I'd like you tell me anything and everything you know about our Clan. Focus mostly on our abilities and capabilities, especially our Dōjutsu, but if you know anything from the Uchiha's history, to it's tactics in combat, people worthy of note, or anything else, please don't hesitate, or hold back. It's always fun meeting new members, and seeing how much they really know of their Clan. You'd be surprised how long some members have gone without knowing their roots. So, in your own time, tell me what you know of the Uchiha."
[Sub]Indeed, the terrain was a scenic one; the kind wherein one loses their sense of time observing the beautiful amalgam of rich colours and wildlife sounds. Atop a grassy 15 m tall and 10 m wide cylindrical platform they stood. And surrounded they were by a cliff even taller, from which a waterfall cascaded, pooling into the land below, hydrating all that was in need of H2O. Trees waved in the direction of the wind generated by said waterfall, and the sun, whilst at its peak, was still kind to the eyes. But here, for the female Uchiha, time was of the essence. She couldn't afford the luxury of surveying the beholden landscape around her, no. Instead, she would enjoy all of that through her peripheral vision as she kept her eyes coolly trained on the man that stood not so far. Lana was dressed in a nigh-translucent white shirt that outlined nothing more than the bright red bra she wore underneath. And being a woman of style, this was of course neatly tucked into the light blue jeans she wore. As for the figure before her, he was the diametric opposite; as if he didn't sport enough dark features - namely his raven black hair and black tattoos - he also dressed in dark garments. The only thing that was dissimilar about the dark theme he had going on was his right eye. Or rather, the colour of it; it was blood red. Perhaps if they were friends she might have inquired about it, but under the current settings, it was neither here nor there.
And so he spoke, introducing himself and saying something about her being nothing like the conventional Uchiha woman. He stated that his name was Shayde, and although it was probably spelled differently, it sounded much like the word shade, which was congruent with the dark theme noted earlier. Again, nothing of importance, but it was a connection that her brain couldn't help but make. Then there was silence. Lana assumed that was her queue to introduce herself, but she said naught, certain that someone of his stature had done their research. And so the silence resumed, before he spoke out again - this time questioning her about their clan.
Lana Del Rey's knowledge about the infamous Uchiha clan was not extensive at all. For the most part in her teenage and adolescent years, she was more interested in civilian life. It was only recently she developed a vested interest in her roots and the supposed power her unlearned eyes contained. Howbeit, she wasn't totally clueless, so she recited the snippets of information she knew already knew.
"Save the obvious, our clan doujutsu is called the Sharingan. In it, there are various different levels, each progressively harder to obtain. After awakening, we begin with the first tomoe, or comma. With this comes the sight of chakra, and it allows us to perceive motions, which in turn enhances our reflexes. With two commas comes the ability to copy perceived motions split seconds after seeing them performed. And finally, with three commas, comes the ability to predict motions".
Lana paused for a moment before continuing. "I am aware that there exists other stages beyond the three commas, but currently I have no interest in them". Obviously, that last part was a lie. [/Sub]
