Snippet #2046740

Tsubame instantly loosened up when she saw the red fox, ANIMALS she was used to!
"Hey there, little one!" she said, letting him sniff her to prevent him from feeling uneasy around her in the future, "My name's Tsubame! What's your name?" The second he went onto Kazuhiko, though, we went back to her closed up self, but staring right back at Mazaaki, letting her natural instinct come in to let her talk to him telepathically.
{I still want a name out of you!} she thought to him, using the same technique she used to talk to the hawks on Taka Mountain, turning to face Tadashi at the same time, loosened up by the fox's presence.
"And let me guess, you've never seen a Sand kunoichi before, so you want to know how we fare in combat, yes? Shall I take you on with both hands behind my back? Or will you want a larger handicap? I'm better at fighting than I am at talking, you see." she stood there, letting her hawk sage form flow into her, the only visual aid showing her enhancement being the golden irises, but still not showing any hostility, only that she would respond to his every move.
