She was under a civilian guise (which was a little hard when you were half blinded but it wasn't a big deal), but it didn't stop Adela from stopping in her tracks and staring at the strange man down the street. She was on this mission solo, under cover for a brief while to gain some intel in the surrounding villages, but this... This wasn't something she was prepared for. That was a Kirigakure ninja, and if he was alone in Fire Country it was likely that he was at least Chuunin rank, if not greater.
The lingering fear that he was possibly sent to come after her specifically made the girl sick to her stomach, and she stumbled where she stood. Adela was barely still standing, feeling queasy at the moment. True, under her clothes and in a small pouch on her waist she was still armed, but she felt too damn naked dressed as a civilian without her sword. And if this guy really was here for her...
No. She was thinking too much into it. Trying to fend off her sudden dizziness, she assured the shop keep she was talking to that she was just a little tired and tried to head back to her inn, hoping beyond hope that she hadn't been noticed.
It would help if she hadn't walked right past him to get there, but then again it'd just be more suspicious if she ran, but maybe she should have run -- what if he already knew? No, that was stupid, no one could know on sight, she could pass for an Uzumaki, right? Right. That was only if they thought she was a ninja too, she was supposed to be a civilian... Gods what was that name again? She had to remember fast, but getting back to the room to just rest would probably be good.
Who's arm did she just bump into? She didn't care, getting out of there was more important.
So excited you have no idea.
