She hasn't changed yet, still wearing the civilian clothing she'd adopted for the mission. It was girlier than her normal ensemble of tight pants and cropped top, but she made the puffy dress work all the same. And while normally she'd be a shy mess right about now it was just another part of the job at hand to help distract her from her feeling otherwise entirely embarrassed.
The shadows whisper of someone approaching. Like the boy another shinobi, dangerous and they whine again but she ignores them. Reminds the shadows of who controls who as the sounds of the shinobi moving finally reach her ears. She slows but keeps walking feigning a looseness she only partially feels. Not that she really loosens up even after she hears the voice. Her lips curving into an approximation of a grin.
"Something like that. On your way back as well Kisame-san?" It's a quiet question one she doesn't really anticipate getting more than the most basic of answers to. If any at all. Chances of crossing paths for any other reason was slight. But she's glad to come across one of her own even this far out still, it reminds her to put the barriers back up after parting ways with the kid. She hates how she has be so on guard even with the very people that she's supposed to consider an ally.
Pity too, there are days she'd like nothing more than to speak her mind with one of her betters instead of carefully chosen phrases and tiny tidbits of truth. Or maybe without having to fake her level of self-assurance. She had plenty of confidence in her abilities as a fighter but wearing that confidence like armor got tiresome after a while. "Did you enjoy your assignment?"
