Hitomi smile stretched practically from ear to ear when she heard that her target was heading to visit a hot spring.  Maybe after she found the girl and rid herself of the horribly irritating old woman she would have to start her vacation a little early and stop by the springs to get a good long visit with the locals before going off in search of her companion.<br/><br/>Realizing that she had been just standing there smiling as she stared off into space for longer than was necessarily comfortable for her informant, Hitomi suddenly snapped herself back into reality and said "Thank you.  That should be more than enough for a good start.  Now how much did she owe you?"<br/><br/><hr/>"Oh yes, just heading back home after a short mission.  I suppose it was rather relaxing to actually know where I was heading off to for a mission... for once."  She began, just letting that hang in the air for a moment.  "Let's not talk about that for now though.  No more talk of work over dinner with such pleasurable company.  I'm sure we can find a better topic.  For example, just what is it that brings<em>you</em>to a place like this?  Why are you traveling alone if you were so easily caught off guard as to let your clothes just get sent adrift so easily?  Wouldn't you rather have some company?  The wilderness is full of lots of dangerous creatures."  She shifted her gaze at Xexen as though to emphasize her point.
