[There's nothing much on the page. Temari only taps her pen against the paper -- dot, dot, dot -- for several long moments before she finally writes something.] Tell me: Is family still family when they are worlds apart?

[Perhaps a little introspective for her normal tastes and somewhat revealing to her mental state, but... Well. She'll take a few outside opinions this time. Some days she just misses her brothers. This evening, it's particularly sharp. That, and she's tired. A bit sore. Unwilling to walk back to the apartment just yet. All in all, it doesn't make for a good mood, after being gone for so long. She's not even sure how long it has been.]

[She doesn't go home after returning to the village: she finds some clean clothes in the shop, forgoes food entirely, and instead wraps herself in a good coat she found and takes a slow walk as night falls. She'll be all over town, eventually easing toward the edges of the forest. (Yes, at night. In the cold. It's probably not the smartest plan.)]

Hidan.

[She blinks at him, frown deepening. All of the Akatsuki were dangerous, but that particular one...

... Well. It's a bit personal for one of her friends.]

Hidan?

[Maybe she misread the name. She rather doubts it.]

Correct.

[He knows Konoha and Suna shared intel on the Akatsuki, but he's not sure how much she would've looked into it.]

Well, that is interesting.

[Interesting his foot; it's troublesome. 8|]

Be extra cautious. He's a moron, but he wasn't picked by the Akatsuki for his math skills.

The Akatsuki are generally known for being dangerous individuals. [Aka, you really didn't have to tell her that.]

This one has a grudge.

[There's getting to the heart of the matter.] Does he?

I didn't stutter.

[She gives him A Look.] It was a somewhat oblique request for more information. Care to oblige?

[Clearly he does. That was his attempt to close the book, but of course it doesn't work.

He looks away, chin in hand, and decides it'd be more troublesome to deal with the drama of avoiding the question than to actually go into it.]

The one who defeated him is me.

[Seriously? You decide to talk and turn away? Idiot. She pokes him in the shoulder.]

[--oh right.]

[He turns back and repeats himself. :T]

[She nods. Simple as that. She has questions, wants more information, but what could she ask that he wouldn't eventually tell her anyway? Besides, all she really needs is tactical information.]

Then we're not blind. I'll watch my back.

[He nods.] If you don't know the specifics of how things work from the intel Konoha sent Suna, I'll fill you in later.

[She waves her hand.] What do I need to know now?

[The question to that would be: what don't you know already? But he'll cut out the middleman.]

He's immortal. That and drawing blood are the key to his power.

That was in the reports. How driven is this guy?

Very. He takes his religion more seriously than the Akatsuki's goals, and that Jashin bullshit is founded on slaughter.

Do we need to instate a buddy system? [There's a dry sarcasm there.]

Har har.

[Wouldn't hurt, but like anyone would care to. That might be overestimating Hidan, anyways.]

I've probably bought everyone else more time when I slighted his god. That should keep him in a fit long enough to prevent him from going on a rampage through the village.

Is a rampage that much of a concern?

I don't want anyone to die.

[Not even a stranger. Even one's too much.]

[She nods once. Soft-hearted man. That's him.] I'll be vigilant.
