Kideme was used to dealing with rude people, and when Yahiko told her to fuck off, she didn't even dignify the affront to her presence with a response and continued on with Hayato.

One thing that hadn't changed with Hayato was the fact that he was always straightforward with his answers. So when he elaborated on how Yahiko essentially just attacked him verbally, Kideme just nodded. "I see."

With him explaining his motives about how he felt toward Duke and then the three ninjas that he'd slaughtered, Kideme frowned and glanced away for a moment but faced him. "I know..." She would be lying to herself if she didn't at least somewhat agree with his logic, just the whole situation was so much more intense than she could have imagined. "It's not that I don't understand, because you're right, they could have betrayed us. You just surprised me." Kideme admitted in earnest while fidgeting with her hands nervously. "I'm glad you got away from your parents, they seem like such depressing people, but have you completely abandoned the idea of bringing a positive light to your family's name." This was a genuine question coming from a real place, because unless Hayato said that he no longer cared to do it, Kideme would keep asking. He'd been very instrumental in helping her own dreams come true, and Kideme would do whatever she could to help Hayato still realize his.

Whatever his answer was, Kideme would respond accordingly but keep listening to him. "But I want to. And even if I can't, I will try to understand." Would Hayato really be able to see that Kideme was trying her hardest to bare with him? If even that still wasn't enough to get him to talk, she nodded in resign with a sigh. "Whatever it is, Hayato, you'll always be my friend..." But then finally Hayato finally started to open up to her a bit, but when he accused her of thinking him crazy, Kideme held up her doll Bindi, who, as always, had been hanging by a silken red noose around the neck to hang by her hip. "I'm in no position to think of you as crazy and I never have or will." Dropping the doll to hang once again, she continued to listen to him.

Her expression had gone from a frown to a look of remorse. "Because I know you can, Hayato. You're a good person and a great shinobi.  I'm sorry for-" She trailed off when suddenly she saw a very familiar pair of hands slide over Hayato's shoulders and she looked up to see the matured face of Tiatsu. Fiddle dee dee, how tall he had gotten! She started to slowly smile up at him to greet him but he interjected with his signature bluntness. Before she could speak again too though, soon found herself inexplicably...frozen? Right about then too, she heard Duke coming over and heard him question Tiatsu. Hoo boy, this could get strange very fast...

If she hadn't been paralyzed, Kideme looked toward him as he spoke up, but if she had been, Kideme only glanced around in painfully compelled awareness.
