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."

She hadn't exactly meant anything by that, but it occurred to her it could mean something, so she turned to hide the blush; she'd been leaving, anyway. She hoped it wasn't too apparent.
