"You've got some balls to travel all the way from Sunagakure.. Identify yourself."
"Tsubame Taka, Hawk Sage Master, and, umm... while I'm currently not in possession of anything spherical that would have aided me in travel, I do have a message from the Kazekage for the Hokage, although I think it's of a low enough priority that anyone can hear it. She sent me to assist with the assassination, neutralization, or detainment of any rogue ninja in the Land of Fire. Call it preventative measures to make sure that they don't move on to Suna, an act of alliance between our villages, whatever. But I was sent here to assist in any way I could, and if that means teaching you that your ability to read and copy my moves will do nothing if your body is in too poor of a condition to react in time, well, umm... That'll be done."
Tsubame spoke with only honesty in her stance so that the Sharingan would allow Mei to see her truth, but her shy, unsure voice, however, showed that she was nervous talking to even this fellow kunoichi, and would have preferred just using a letter. Preferably from about two nations away.
"And, if it wouldn't bother you too much, could you either point me towards your Hokage, or to the rogue ninja you were talking about? I'm sorry for all this, but I'm terribly bad at talking to new people!"
