A smirk graced Pein's pierced face. He had caught the secretary's glance, could tell that their appearance unsettled the woman. That was what made things fun, made them interesting. Where was the fun in life when everything was mundane? Given, ninjas weren't exactly mundane, but that was beside the point.

"We don't, actually." Pein moved closer to the desk, and thus the door to the Mayor's actual office. "But I'm sure that won't be a problem. Surely the Mayor has time to speak with guests to his city?"

Konan quirked a bit of a smile--though it was more of a ghostly smirk--and silently moved along with her partner. Her hands worked on the folding of paper, of such a tiny paper creature as an ant. Not that she wasn't paying attention--the folds were second nature to the kunoichi.

The secretary did not appear dangerous. But even if she was more than she seemed, she would pose no trouble to a god and his angel.

The young woman shilly-shallied for a second, eventually settling on flipping through the ledger next to her until the pages displayed a date that was presumably today's and a time presumably close to now. "Let's see," she said. "Well, he appears to be open at the moment, so maybe he can still squeeze you in." She leaned across the desk, holding down a button on her intercom box. "Mr. Heirwidthal, there are some visitors here wishing to speak with you," she said into the speakerphone.

A few seconds passed without a response, and she tried again. "Mr. Heirwidthal?"

Silence. Puzzled, she stood up, gently closing the ledger at the same time. "I'm sorry, could you please wait here just one moment?" she requested of the visitors. "I'll go and make sure he's in." It really was strange; she hadn't seen him leave. Not waiting very long for an answer, she started at a brisk pace down the hallway and toward the stairs.

Pein watched and waited, features composed and masking his impatience. He didn't have time for silly games, and though this secretary didn't know it, he would not be denied an audience with the mayor. No one refused the leader of the Akatsuki.

How interesting that it seemed something was off. The secretary's puzzled expression belied the fact that she had no idea what was actually going on. Well, wouldn't this be interesting? And certainly lots of fun for him.

"Mmmh," Pein told the secretary when asked to wait. The pierced man had no real intentions of doing so. As soon as she had left the room, he nodded to Konan, a clear indication that he had seen her folding and agreed with her leaving a spy in the room. And then, with the silence instilled in all shinobi, he slipped out of the office and followed the secretary, taking care to make sure his presence went unnoticed by the young woman.

Wordlessly, Konan followed after her partner, pausing only to drop the ant on the ground, where it crawled purposefully under the secretary's desk and into a small nook where it would observe hopefully unnoticed. As she walked, she pulled out another piece of paper and began folding--it wouldn't do to leave the mayor's office unwatched.

Konan was not entirely sure what they would see at the mayor's office: the secretary's confusion indicated something of interest, at least. Still, Pein would not be pleased if his plans were tampered with.

But, if needed, plans could be changed. And they were bound to get information no matter what.
