<div style="text-align: center"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">The young woman chuckled a little to herself as the other spoke to her about himself and his companion; so she had the same name as his dog. Weird. She found it a bit ironic considering she'd always preferred the company of animals to people. People could betray you. From what she'd learned over the majority of her life, animals were more loyal and likely to protect your back, where as most people she'd known would soon as drive a blade into your back if given the opportunity. People were too driven by their own selfish desires to worry about helping anyone other than themselves. That was likely the reason she came off cold and straight-to-the-point.<br/>
<br/>
She didn't want to get attached, or make friends; that was likely to end up with another stab in her back. Shaking her head a little to clear her thoughts, she looked up from the dog and back to her mission companions. "We are going after a S-Rank Rouge Ninja..." she started "...and even though we are the best our people has to offer, we should not go into this totally blind-sighted. However, Inuzaka does have a point. Our target could get a lot farther away while we prepare ourselves; three days is a long time."<br/>
<br/>
Aoi scuffed her boot across the ground at her feet, contemplating. "We should at least get a basic knowledge of what each of us has to offer. Perhaps we should at least train, become knowledgeable, for tonight." She peered at the two. "That will also cut back on the time that our target will have to move away from us. And I know that you want to move now, Inuzaka, but we cannot go into this blind. Is this a considerate compromise for you?"</span>​</div>
