[You thought this was Unity Monument, but it was I, 

While Murano's reflexes were above average, he still felt like he could do better. He saw many of his peers, like Captain Ishin, performing outrageous moves that he couldn't hold a candle to. He was happy they reached such a level of success, but couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. With his chakra control training pretty much complete, he'd decided that the next few weeks would be focused entirely on honing his reflexes. To do that, he came to the training grounds in hopes of finding someone to, well, train with. So far everyone he'd talk to was busy or on their way out of the training grounds, so he was forced to just do some light sparring with a wooden dummy while he waited for more people to arrive.

Removing the mask off his face, Takeshi attaches the mask to the chain that swings on the side of his pants from the eye hole of the item. His duties were finished for today and he figures he trains a little bit before he heads home to rest, not like he needs it but it's still good to have sleep. 
In any case, the operative forms a crystal Bo-staff in his right hand. About 6ft long, the staff is purple and often uses it for expanding techniques of Crystal Bukijutsu. Other than that, he mainly uses this combat. He also uses a katana which is currently sheathed on his back, but the Bo-staff is the weapon he put a lot of time into. 

With his excellent vision, he spots somebody sparring with a wooden dummy. Well, that's kind of sad even if it's normal. Not only that, he's pretty sure he's seen this person's face before. Was it possibly 2 years ago? Yeah, definitely. But... What was the name of that guy during his Preliminary Exams? 

"You know, sparring with a dummy won't improve much..." Takeshi says, walking up to the MP Officer.

Murano chuckled lightly at the comment, his back still to Takeshi. "Yea, probably not. Just killing time." 

As he turned around, it'd take him a few moments to remember where he'd met the FP operative. Takeshi would no doubt notice the spark of recognition on Murano's face as a big smile formed on his face. "Hey, Takeshi! Don't think I've seen you since the Prelims. How's it going, I heard you got into the Frontier Patrol?"

From the looks of it, the staff in particular, Takeshi hadn't been slacking in his training. He was interested to see how the other chunin's skills had improved since they last met.

Murano being able to recognize Takeshi isn't much of a suprise, however, it did seem it took a little bit of time for him to recognize the operative. Takeshi does just have a plain expression which never expressed much, so he supposes it's easy to remember. On the other hand, now he remembers who's currently in front of him. Keizo Murano. A genjutsu users that he allowed to escape in time with a scroll away from the Chunin they faced during that time. 

"Yes, it has been quite a long time since then," Takeshi states, taking out his glasses and putting them on. "It's been busy. And yes, I'm part of the FP now." 

Scanning Murano to see what's changed about him, he immediately recognizes the purple tabard. "Military Police, huh? Hope they've been treating you well. My brother is a Captain in the branch... A Genjutsu user like you."

"I bet, I heard the Frontier Patrol has had their hands full with missions recently." He said in response to Takeshi's claim of having been busy. 

So, Takeshi had a brother in the Military Police and they were a genjutsu user too? That was pretty awesome! "I've been enjoying the MP, everyone's really cool. I think I might have met your brother, but I don't think we've gone on any missions together. They probably keep him pretty busy, him being a Captain and all." 

He suddenly remembered he had a reason for being in the training grounds in the first place. "Hey, you here to train too? What're you working on?"
Dawn
"Indeed," Takeshi says. It seems like something has been on his mind, however, he quickly rid of the thought for now. "You might of. He's a very charismatic and kind person, so he'll often leave an impression. Kurokawa Akihiko is his name. I'm pretty he's part of a more specific group of the MP due to being a Genjutsu user, so yeah..."

Takeshi looks off the side and sighs. While Murano dealth with Takeshi's brother, but not on the daily, Takeshi has to deal with his own sister in the FP. A Commander and Jonin to top it all off. It's tiresome with all the busy stuff he has already as an Operative. Well, he supposes she's been letting him off the hook for the past few days, however, he's still on his toes.

"I'm working on my Bukijutsu skills. You need someone to help with your training? I'm fine with helping."
