Dropping a large, bright yellow bucket at his feet, Chigetsu would assess the damage. When he had taken this mission to clean up graffiti, he did so without really understanding exactly what he was getting into. Graffiti was something he was only familiar with in the theoretical sense, being a word that he heard through passive conversation and through reading various books where the subject would come up. This was a word, like many others in his vocabulary, that he only knew in his imagination. Even though he could read about it, and experience it second hard through novels or through reading the definition of a word in a dictionary, it was something he had never seen up until now. Up until very recently he had only left the Hozuki District when absolutely necessary. That meaning, when he was forced out for some inane reason usually related to training. There was never much of a reason to even leave his room in the first place, with his clan being wealthy enough that he could enjoy all the luxuries of life without having to press outwards to the greater world. Even on the rare situations that Chigetsu did leave the direct luxury of his living space, it would be unimaginable to find any graffiti marking the walls and district’s storefronts.
Seeing it now, all these different colored tags spread across brick walls, was an experience equivalent to a medical student finally dissecting their first cadaver. All these things that they had spent so long reading about and studying in theory were finally exposed to light, and with all the apprehension that came with it. It was impossible to not feel as though he was a trespasser right now. This was somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be, and didn’t belong. It was something that was immediately noticeable when Chigetsu first came to collect the cleaning supplies from the shopkeeper, just the absolute disparity in wealth compared to what he had been raised on. It made him uncomfortable just being here, just breathing in the same spaces.
Although, he did feel the same way when out in the Hozuki District. The way people stared at him there, especially the people that knew about him from his parents or just through rumors, made his skin crawl. At least here, far away from his home, there wouldn’t be anyone asking him why he was wearing a skirt.
Apparently there was a partner that was supposed to help him along with this mission, and that was the official excuse Chigetsu was using for why he hadn’t actually started doing any work yet. It wouldn’t be fair to begin until they arrived, is what he kept telling himself. Really, he would be hoping that once whoever it was that he was paired with came and collected their own kit of cleaning supplies they could be convinced somehow into doing the majority of the work, but that wasn’t something he would say aloud. Instead, he would make do wasting time until they came along.
