Magnolia Forest, 7.50 a.m. 

"This feels so relaxing" , a young boy mused out loud, his back against the forest floor. 

The sun filtered through the trees, the leaves thick enough to shelter him from the brightness but allowing just enough sunlight to give him the right temperature and lighting. 

"Uuugh... I guess it's time for me to go..." 

He has been living in the forest for a long time now, not that he minded because he rather enjoyed nature due to his upbringing. The forest provided him enough sustenance but even still, he had a job so he can afford other necessities such as clothing and to have some backup cash. 

Working also means socializing with others and he'd very much prefer that than just staying alone in the forest. But it also means having to dedicate a part of his day to it, which leads to his current predicament. 

 He's currently feeling exceptionally lazy but it's nearly time for him to begin his journey to his workplace. A cool breeze suddenly blew his hair, adding to his reluctance. 

"You know wind, you aren't really helping me right here" and..... the wind proceeds to dump some leaves on his face. The boy grumbled and stood up, shaking his head and ruffling his brown locks of excess leaves. 

"Thanks .... I guess", he pouted. 

He stretched a bit , hearing the satisfying pop of joints "Welp, I'll be going then" he muttered to no one in particular, starting his trek to the town.

Magnolia, Town District, 8 a.m. 

The sound of a door opening and closing alerted the occupant inside of the arrival of someone. A staff member, considering it's the back door. 

A young woman looked over her shoulder and smiled, "Good morning, Tsunayoshi-kun. Right on time as usual I see. Rushed your way here?" the woman place her hands on her hips, an amused expression on her youthful face.

"Ah, a very good morning to you as well, Liana-san. *sigh* And yes, I did rush to get here on time." The boy, Tsunayoshi answered sheepishly, while getting his uniform. "What gave me away?"

 He did end up having to rush to his workplace when he realized that he nearly ran out of time. He used a bit of his abilities to get here as soon as possible when he took notice of the sun's angle (he has the knowledge on how to perceive the time of day through the sun's position, a pretty handy trick actually, and a bit of help by his HI).

"*giggle* You have some leaves in your hair" she ruffled his hair, patting his head a bit before pulling away. 

"Mou.... I can do it myself you know..." Tsuna lightly blushed at being treated like a child, he's a teenager okay??? "Aww, but you're just so adorable, Tsuna-kun~" 

Tsuna hides his red face by turning around to face the changing room. "I-I'll change first, then." The woman laughed but then she called out "Hey, Tsuna-kun?" 

He turned around to face her "Yes, Liana-san?" 

He can see her frowning in ...worry? "Why aren't you wearing any jacket? You know it's getting colder day by day..." 'Ahh... So that's what she's worried about... Well, the cold actually doesn't really bother me that much...' 

"Ah, don't worry about that , Liana-san. I'm actually practically immune to cold weather, so don't worry okay?" He smiled reassuringly, turning back around to head to the changing room. 

Liana-san is actually the owner's daughter. This is a small humble bakery in the middle of town and they get plenty of customers to gain enough money to keep it going.
