The young Hajime worked his way carefully up the stairs that led to his teams meeting place. He took his time and made sure his footing was solid with every step he took, more that once had he tumbled down these very steps due to his carelessness. He kept his right hand against the wall for support, his left on the single strap of his backpack making sure it didn't slip.
He tended to travel very lightly, less stuff to loose that way. As the gennin reached the final step he let out a slight gasp of relief, he hated stairs so much. He placed his back against the wall and slid down into a sitting position, not even bothering to see if any of his teammates had arrived yet.
