- looking forward to seeing Suna again, un?

[he stops mid-stride - something is not right - and he reaches for his clay and finds it-]

Oi, Sasori-no-danna, where the hell are you?

[-gone. genjutsu?]

Kai!

[but nothing breaks (where is his scope, it was on when they left for Suna) and he shifts - uneasily, though he will never admit it out loud - and his

[She's investigating the gate wordplay ahahaha for any sign of a clue pertaining to this mess. She has yet to find anything and is slowly feeling her patience fail her.]

Oh, a distraction. Hey there! Did you just arrive?

... Truuue.

[dead_conduit]

[Duly noted.]

Skinning... not something I run into often or enjoy particularly. It's incredibly messy and painful.

[She shakes her head.]

I can't find any tracks or a trail. Maybe you can?

... -sparkle-

[ao_bakuhatsu]

skinning? wouldn't know about that, yeah; you were skinned before?

[if so, he thinks he might revise his estimate of her to-]

... don't see anything, yeah.

[-quite intriguing. he stoops and a handful of dirt disappears-]

dunno, though. this isn't the best soil for tracking, un.

[-and tiny spiders scurry away in every direction]

[dead_conduit]

No, can't say I was. Yourself?

[Did he just make spiders out of dirt?]

No, it's not.

[She sighs.]

Upon closer examination these marks are older than first guessed. These weren't made recently Deidara.

[ao_bakuhatsu]

nah. not stupid enough to get cut by that thing, un.

[it's times like this when he wants his clay the most; the dirt is too unstable for a bird and-]

pity, that. think there's more than one of 'em? if they're that old, there might be kids, un.

[-he doesn't trust anyone. not yet.]

[dead_conduit]

Well, that's good to know. Had that happened I might have been worried.

[We're the only people you can trust?]

I couldn't tell you if they're old... or what the case is, but there are at least two distinctive sets of claw marks here.

[ao_bakuhatsu]

[how ridiculous, worrying-]

worried?

[-over something so trivial.]

huh. don't suppose we'd be so lucky that whatever made these killed each other, un.

[dead_conduit]

It's more a saying, something someone I know has been teaching me to use.

We might be so lucky. Though only time will tell.

[ao_bakuhatsu]

huh. why would need to learn about stuff like that, yeah?

[a crooked grin.]

prepare for the worst, un.

[dead_conduit]

Something about learning to express emotion. Don't ask me.

That is for certain.

[ao_bakuhatsu]

[for some reason, she reminds him of Sasori. Itachi. not human.]

odd thing to learn; either you have it or not and it's not like it's crucial, un.

[dead_conduit]

[She shrugs and offers no further comment.]

[ao_bakuhatsu]

[how long - now's as good of a time as any, he decides; so-]

Katsu.

[-there are no more spiders scurrying about; the explosion is much too close.]

[dead_conduit]

[She jumps in surprise.]

What was that?

[ao_bakuhatsu]

[a trap, it must be a trap, but-]

nothing important, un.

[-not a genjutsu - or is it stronger than those Sharingan tricks? - and why only him?]

[dead_conduit]

[She doesn't believe you. You are aware of this she presumes.]

Ah, alright then.
