Not quite as quiet as a mouse, then. Then again, perhaps O-Ren would have heard the mouse, too.
No matter; she'd been looking for O-Ren, after all. She'd been thinking. She'd been thinking a lot. She still wasn't entirely sure what she was doing, or what she intended to say or do, but she'd never been one for sitting back and thinking things to death.
Then again, it had been a month, maybe she had thought it to death and now the only thing to do was attack the problem and see if it yielded.
It wasn't much of an attack. She stopped a few feet off, digging a slight hole in the sand with her right toe, and said, "Hi."
Time slowed down for a moment, as it seemed to do in all the important moments of O-Ren's life. She blinked, brushed a strand of hair from her face, and finally, like the beat of a butterfly's wing, time resumed its pace.
O-Ren felt her stomach drop out, but she bit down on her lip, and nodded. "Sou desu. What have you been thinking?" She slid over on the rock, offering the spot to Arya.

"I've been thinking," she announced.
Maybe not right into it.
"About what you said. What you want."
