Chichi knew that these puppets wouldn't move on their own. Her run-in with the previous puppeteer was more than fresh in her mind despite it being two years ago. He was moving them, even if she couldn't see his hands moving. They were definetely ready to attack. The chattering, though, is what would set anyone off. She moved the scroll in her mouth around using her tongue, a habit picked up from many bored nights.

She thought about her response, and decided honesty was best. "Pretty good, but could be better." He didn't seem to show any sort of facial expression, and neither did she. "You dissapointed on the outcome of the Chuunin exams? That fight was barely anything. You seemed to easily take care of your opponent; a match like that couldn't have possibly satisfied you." Her eyes narrowed, but to anyone else, it would look like a gaze of boredom. This look, however, was her on full alert, ready to notice his movements. With a puppet user, movements were their best friend. She may not be as smart as Sansa but Sansa had taught her that it wasn't all about strength.

She wanted to fight the boy. It was clear that he had skill. Speed was her friend; she may not be able to sheathe a man's weapon within the blink of an eye, standing in the same spot as if she'd never moved, like Sansa was able to, but she could throw a weapon fast enough that it would be very, very difficult to percive that she had even thrown it in the first place. She was fast enough for her movements to blur. Along with the force thrown, her weapons could do a nice amount of damage.

She knew better than to guess his speed only by the way he moved his puppets, though. Her shoulders shifted as she seemed to stretch. She'd continue with the conversation for now.
