To be fair, Sup Pung actually didn't think much of what she did since she'd done it to nearly all of her friends back home, boy or girl. Call it a lazy but more controversial way of patting someone on the back for a job well done. Then again, it also didn't occur to her that Munashi grew up very differently than she did. The difference in how they talked had been a dead ringer for that, but still she meant no harm by it. So yeah, she was a little surprised by her reaction but it sort of made sense too. Munashi had gone from giggles and happily jogging from a lynch mob to grimaces and demure. The small smirk she had on her face didn't falter...much but she nodded with understanding. "Sorry."

But then the fuckery happened and Sup Pung was fast on her feet. Between the three of them, they had nearly eight bags worth of bark and looking around at the bald trunks of trees, they'd collected more than enough. They probably could have collected more but at best, bark might prove for some very interesting seasoning, but it was not food and they might have come across something more useful. So with catching all their bags and storing them safely away, Sup Pung grabbed her naginata while staring down at the brown ground. "Just what we need. Some sand snakes to come mess with us." What Munashi said made sense and with sensing nothing at all, that just reinforced the notion.

"Lead the way, then, I haven't really been out this far." She admitted while untethering and herding Boche to trot along at her side. A half hour and some more dead terrain with too many dead plants later, and the ground shook again, but much harder and ferociously this time. Cocking backwards and off to the right, Sup Pung tried to assess what was going on but Hayato's yelling voice was suddenly caught off and she looked toward him. "....What?" She asked while narrowing her eyes with confusion. He looked completely entranced by something, and it sure as shit wasn't fear or worry for their surroundings. This fucker even started to run!

"Wait, where the hell are you going?" Staring after him incredulous, Sup Pung glanced around being still on very high alert but he was literally running away from that. But then she heard his words and she furrowed her brow with pity and wariness. "Ahhh shit...Hayato, no!"

But it had been too late for Sup Pung to call him back to reality. Instead, he was even farther gone than before.

While Hayato literally gave chase and took off after Ayame, he would eventually run right past a young woman with long straight black hair dressed in a pink kimono holding a very an ornate doll in her arms. As he ran along, she would smile at him with a slight giggle. "Hayato? What are you doing?" Her voice was light as air yet mid pitched and feminine.

"Where're you going, huh?" A much deeper and demanding voice would speak up. A few feet behind Kideme, Tiatsu towered over her, leaning against a tree with his arms crossed while looking at him with a slightly sly smirk. "Heh. You always did get distracted really easily. Tighten up, Sarutobi."

Kideme would start to walk toward him, catching up easily before walking past him toward where Ayame went. "She really is a gem isn't she? You're going to miss her when she's gone." Smiling over her shoulder at him, Kideme kept walking, but slowly turned around to face him. "Don't listen to him, Hayato, he's just teasing. You're doing so well....be strong. I know you can, and you will."

Tiatsu would eventually push off from the tree and leisurely start to walk alongside him too. "Just remember what I said. It's you.....or them." He said while lifting his chin to look back toward where he'd left Sup Pung and Munashi. "You can't save everyone."

In reality, Sup Pung couldn't chase after Hayato and after three failed attempts to call him back, she and Munashi had bigger problems. When that giant cocksucking worm appeared and immediately got down to it...."Shit." Gripping her naginata with both hands, Sup Pung was a blur of white as she pushed at her personal electricity and moved at a mad dash out of the way of the creature. Hopefully Munashi was able to as well, but holding the tiger seal, her clones: Sup and Pung would appear and the two of them ran off to surround the creature. "HAYATO QUIT FUCKIN AROUND AND GET OVER HERE."

Her clones would run around to buy her and Munashi some time while she formulated a plan on how to take this thing down without Hayato's help. God, what a time to get haunted by his insecurities. She felt for him, but STILL!
