Rena felt her blood shift its own temperature inside her. That's strange. It didn't usually do this unless there was some sort of temperature shift it could notice; yes, it could have potentially shifted the temperature of her blood to be cooler, but why? In all of her time in Konoha, especially around this season. This was unusual, but she decided that it was nothing to alert the team about. Ieyasu may not enjoy her saying something to him again... she'd bring it up if she felt her blood get any cooler. It wasn't even the peak of noon yet.

She knew that the bag had a map enclosed inside it, as well. She dug into the backpack without asking Ieyasu, making sure to point to it before doing so. If he allowed her, she would have removed the map and smoothed it out as she pointed to the labelled place; The Ridge. Even if they were on a mission, Rena realised that the chances that the ANBU may have come across the Ridge were high; she turned to Ieyasu. "This may be conciding with our own mission." And then, with the smallest voice so that hopefully only Ieyasu could hear her, "But it may also be a trap. Beware; bandits like holding hostages and hiring infidels to lure people back to their lairs. We should be careful, and prepared."

Trusting people was not in her nature, but she would hand the map to Ieyasu, giving him a glance that meant {Proceed carefully.} She hoped Ieyasu would realise that a coincidence like this is unlikely in a world that was full of assassins. She waited on standby besides O, before turning to him and pursing a conversation in that department.

"Are the marks on your forehead war paint of some kind?" She raised her hand, showing a black square with an empty middle. "This itself seems to be a tattoo of some kind; I think I was born with it. I've tried washing it off, but to no avail." Waiting for O's response and ready to follow Ieyasu's desicion, she waited on standby until the team moved, to which she would follow.
