A single, unveiled eye turned to the sound of Hitomi's voice... And Gods above did it look as though the Jonin had never heard of the concept of sleep. Were they close enough for him to comment on such? Hmm... Maybe not, this was only the second interaction after all, for all Chiho knew, she might've always had a case of resting... Desperately in need of rest face. Hmm, maybe he could offer some of the sleep aid's he'd been working on as a subtle hint? Later, for now, she was challenging his expertise!

"Totally not saying that, just, ya know, here, on my own, my lonesome, wondering when my sparring partner would show... I'm joking, hehe, nice to see you again, Commander Hozugawa." Normally, he played up or down the formality depending on the person, Hitomi seemed like someone who had a nice respect for some formality, so better to be safe. "And... No no, I was just like, making sure I understood the fundamentals, see... *This...*"

As he spoke, his cheeks puffed, and the bubble wand in his hand was spun... Before Chiho would release several globules of water, only for them to be covered almost instantly in bubbles, but not just any bubbles, Hitomi could see from the sheen that these bubbles were *Thick*, likely an inch, and the way they caught light... It was the same water as the starchy syrup field... And what was more, that water he'd spat out? It carried... Floral notes, Hibiscus, Pear, it was a peaceful scent. If she was at all a drinker, she'd quickly be able to corelate it... It smelled *Just* Like Sake. "Da-Dan! Look! Still workshopping the name, but..." He let the bubble travel over, letting Hitomi investigate it more carefully. "Be careful with this one, if you like, pop it... Well, uh... The water's pretty poisonous... And flammable... Unless you feel like getting drunk mid day is like, befitting a commander... Which totally might be, I'm a drunk, I don't judge."

Hitomi's cold eyes didn't let any emotion transpire as she stared at Chiho excitedly explaining what he had been working on, though he clearly had her attention considered she could guess what it was about; the only other bubble user she knew of, a way out of her excessive fame around those watery spheres. It became evident her interest only when the bubbles were formed, her eyebrow raising as the orbs spread a sweet scent of sake in the air, one some would hardly notice but not a fine nose like Hitomi's. She could tell what is was in an instant, having been used to drinking before the war started, though she wouldn't define herself a drunk. 

She didn't move to touch them the way those strangers to bubble style did, instead raising a gloved hand to lead one closer just through air movement. Bubbles were after all light and easy to manipulate, unless Chiho chose a different path for it. "Flammable you say. I guess that is a property of Sake and any other alcoholic drink." It was an observation made to herself while wondering how the two worked together concretely. 

"Show me." It almost sounded like an order, her hand retracting from the bubble. It would take a lot more sake than what a bubble could hold to make her drunk, but the explosion was something she'd better keep away from her face. "I take you brew poisons, is it?" She asked then. Whether or not Chiho knew of her practises, Hitomi felt like asking.

She would notice, when manipulating the bubbles, these starchy, Sake filled ones were *Noticeably* Heavier than the bubbles Hitomi would usually make. The outer layer being at least a quarter inch thick, and if she focused on sounds, she could hear the light sloshing of bubbles, Chiho carrying a light, satisfied grin as he produced three more of the same bubble. "Heavier than your normal bubble huh? And what's more..." He would push the bubbles together, as they'd *Stick* To each other, refusing to separate. "One sticking to you is like, a minor inconvenience, two sticking to you, or three, or four, or more... It totally hampers movements, and you can't just pop them... Not without risk."

He would flow the bubble away from Hitomi with a nod. "Careful, I haven't gotten fire release down yet, so I work with an alternative..." He spoke, causing the bubbles to spin and spin, before all at once, they popped, the scent of Sake becoming far more pronounced, as Chiho likewise took a swig of Sake from a gourd at his side... And proceeded to spit at the still suspended water. Hitomi would notice the flash of flint and steel in his mouth, as the liquor ignited, sending a large plume of fire spreading upwards and outwards, the scent of burning liquor filling her nostrils. It wasn't fire Release flames, but, that in itself could prove an advantage to someone who relied on their natural talent in fire release to keep them safe from fires harm.

"Poisons... Somewhat. The Shochune are famous alcohol distributors and brewers. I've modified some recipes using my knowledge with medicine and poison... This..." He showed his gourd, allowing Hitomi to grab it if she so wished. "This contains enough concentrated herbs and altered venoms to bring a man down, I just totally inoculated myself to my own poisons. It can bring a mans guard down, not really seeing the lethality in a poison I seem to brazenly drink... Plus, it actually tastes really good." He sheepishly looked off to the side. "I even created a method of water release to create Alcoholic natured water from nothing... Figured I could integrate it with my bubbles..."
