There was silence indeed, but not of an intense kind, but rather it was pregnant with curiosity and suspicion as to what awaited her at the restaurant. Kai had made the trek from the family premises to the common tangle of Konoha's epicenter so many times, she could have walked it blindfolded. In fact, she had to make herself slow down several times to not get too far ahead of Tomomi. Granted with his stature and long walking stride to give him that speed advantage, she was walking more briskly while doing a mental countdown to their arrival at the gates.

Her hood was drown and her chin was down, but from her own mobile hiding place, she was able to take in every little detail with photographic clarity. Even when Sensei had stopped and stood about, Kai remained slightly behind him. When he had casually said they were eating at the Dango shop, she knew better than to take that at face value. So for all she knew, staking out on this street corner in front of it was them having lunch at the Dango. Placid and quiet, Kai utilized those ten minutes to study everything surrounding the shop from the people coming out and going in, to the surrounding buildings and the details she could pick up within the shop itself. A woman with flowers in her hair trying to coax a man into walking her home from their lunch date, a little boy wearing a bright red pillbox hat while his elderly grandmother hauled him inside as he sobbed, very tall man waiting inside while crouching slightly to not hit his head on the lights.

She didn't just rely on her sight either, she listened with a cursory glance to people having conversations, the bark and squawk of animals, the chittering of little kids, and the clank of wood against metal, glass against vinyl and leather against dirt. There were too many smells to name that flew at her olfactive senses, but most notably, she could feel that breeze and its arbitrary gusting.

Tomomi might have noticed that Kai was staring at him now. The last two of these ten minutes were dedicated alternately to studying him in between everything and everyone around them, since he was likely making this exercise interactive. She tried to follow his line of his sight, but with there being more than a foot of difference in height, it was a little hard to pin point what he was trying pick out of the crowd. "Is that you?" If he denied the question or ignored it, she still stared at him. "What is it, or who?" Her green darted away every so often to try and pick up his unseen trail again.
