Bakuton no Yumi stared at her the whole time, watching her get up and moving back into the interior of the tavern. When she stood before her, the Iwa-kunoichi was helpless but to grin wider. Kaede spoke politely, but it only seemed to goad her more, and she leaned forward looking upon the Kumo-nin rather expectantly, "Oh? That girl was with you, then?"<br/><br/>She closed her eyes and leaned back, seemingly putting her own figure on display as if in response to a challenge. "That<em>is</em>a shame." The waiter brought out a bottle, as requested, "Perhaps I could offer you a drink in her stead?" Yumi said, snatching the bottle up and pouring it into the cup that had been previously offered to her. Then the bottle went straight to her lips. She closed her eyes and threw it back, her slender neck sliding it down without so much as stuttering. The kunoichi set the bottle down with a wet gasp.<br/><br/>The would-be defector remained outside, biding his time to escape. Any sudden movements wouldn't elude the gaze of even an inexperienced ninja, and judging by her reputation, Yumi had proven herself capable enough to earn at least the Tsuchikage's attention, "The name... is Yumi." Of course, she already knew that. She extended her hand out, offering the cup of wine to Kaede with a smile, "And you look like you're in need of some new company."
