[At some point during the afternoon, as you walk across the town or through well-used paths in the fringes of the forest, you may feel as if you're being watched.

Yes. You.

A fleeting shadow, the feeling of eyes following your every move, the feeling that you can't shake a follower. You know the one. It makes the hair at the nape of your neck stand on end. Makes you paranoid and jumpy. Or maybe just amused. Annoyed. Whatever it does, it's there.

Temari's not trying too hard to stay unseen. It's less training and more something to do. You might turn around and see a ninja standing behind you. Maybe she's touching down next to you. Maybe you're attacking. (She won't like that much, to be honest, but maybe that's how you respond to being watched.)

There's a ninja stalking you. What do?]

[She barks out a laugh.] Agreed.

Hopefully it'll be something much more entertaining, like who makes the best flapjacks or plays the best dodgeball.

[Suddenly amused bark of laughter here.] Pirates vs. ninja dodgeball. That'd be a tournament I could get behind.

On that I'm sure we'd win.

Strong words, pirate.

We have to deal with marine cannonballs all the time. Even your ninja throwing capacities would have trouble keeping up with that, eh?

[A wink.] Don't underestimate ninja throwing capacities.

I think this is definitely something that should be tested, don't you?

I think you've got yourself a bit of a challenge.

Now we just have to get the others.

Oh, some of them will jump at it, I'm sure.

Good, the more the merrier, eh? Besides, pirate pride is on the line.

Pirate pride might just be crushed.

Impossible. Pirate pride always has recovery routes.

Recovery routes, huh? That because you end up losing so damn often?

Because cheating is all part of the game.
