She sure as hell must have left quite the energetic impression. As the two Jounins were the only ones left, words simply spewed out of her mouth. A troublesome habit, but at least Hanzo could take Mao for an honest person.

It did not take them long before they arrived the set destination. Before them, a long wooden bridge stretched across the peaceful lake. Street lights filled the dark water with sparks and cast a rather weak shade from wherever the bridge stood. Two new figures emerged into the shadow display, as they walked on over to the center of the bridge. That was where Mao stopped and took a step closer to the railing. Both of her arms stretched out and rested at the top of the wooden fence.

The silence seemed to have fallen onto the two of them. The situation could be interpreted as awkward, but Mao honestly did not mind. This way, she was given a couple of minutes to recover from her episode of puking out her inner thoughts. She'd gaze down along one of the lakes ends, watching out if she could spot anything out of the normal.

Suddenly, the small female bent her knees for a couple of seconds and pounced on up to the fence- Now standing on top of it with her knee's bent and her arms resting on each of her knees. While she took this position, Hanzo decided to finally break the silence and showed some interest in getting to know Mao.

His question got her turn her attention towards him, locking eyes as silence fell upon them once more.

''What made me want to become a Shinobi? Well... There are the fame and the glory. As well as the sweet satisfaction of helping other... And the pay isn't that bad.'' She repeated his question and spiced her responds up by adding some more common knowledge to his answer him. Her eyes strolled down along the man, then swiftly returned to face the other end of the lake again.

She raised her right hand and moved it over to her face, having her fingers rub along her chin as if the woman had an imaginary beard. All while her left arm wrapped around her stomach. ''Nooo... I'm not that dull. In fact, I'm having a hard time responding to your question as I guess I still am trying to figure that out.'' She said then raised her hand, folding her fingers expect her pointy finger and shook her hand up and down four times.

You know what, I might actually have an answer... I wanted to change the future. She finally came to an answer and her usual cheery tone took a sudden serious turn.

After potentially a couple of seconds of silence. Mao stood up on the railing and rolled her shoulders hardback, with enough force to leave her cloak drape down on her arms- exposing both shoulders. ''We re-write people's story- without really realizing it. Feeding the young ones with knowledge. Using our abilities to help those in need. Our voice, to change peoples point of view...'' Was the last thing she said, before she swiftly turned towards Hanzo, bending forward so the space between them shrunk even further. Both hands rested on each side of her waist. And sometimes, we end them.

If Hanzo paid attention, he'd be able to spot a more serious side of Mao before she switched to her energetic self. Seconds after her last words left her mouth, a wide smile spread across it and she stood back up and stretched out. One leg, after the other.

''Since I've let you know some about me... How about you, Hanzo? Why did you choose this path?'' Since she had been open about her reasons- and emotions, it only seemed fair for her to ask for some information in return.
