She shoveled meat, over-cooked vegetables, sauce and crust into her mouth with all the fervor of a starving person. It was amazing how much real food could replenish what you burned off running. They always said rations could do it, too, but it never seemed the same.

She eyed the pie holder, running her index finger around the edges to gather up the rest of the fatty sauce. It was loaded with beef flavor; unusual in a port town, but she wasn't going to complain. Protein, much-needed fat--she might even start feeling human again.

Really needed to step up her training regimen.

Tsume licked off her fingers, angling a look up at Asuma from under her hair. "Water running's a brilliant plan. You really wanted that collapse bit you were talking about earlier, huh?" She continued without waiting for a response, peering back down at her empty pie holder. "You get much practice boating in your wanderings? S'pose we could charter a ship..." Konoha would pay for it. She and Asuma could secure it, even if the captain wasn't thrilled with the idea. It was amazing what a smile with slightly pointed canines would do. Tsume eyed the cardboard container and debated licking up the last of the sauce. Possibly, if she was that hungry, she ought to be eating rations. She licked the cardboard instead.
