The canopy of faint, dappled light spun above her; Rina leaned against a mossy tree trunk until the disorientation passed and her stomach settled. No hint of foreign sound or chakra presence disturbed the encircling branches, and visibility was clear to at least past projectile range. "You all right, there?" she asked, just companionably this time. She wasn't worried. He could take care of himself.

He was already straightening up, so she pushed off the roughened bark. "Where to, partner?" At this point, one corner of moist, misty forest looked the same to her as any other, but she suspected that he was more familiar with the terrain and knew where they were. The pull towards Konoha twisted like an ache in her chest, and she put off thinking about the debriefing report that awaited her there.

Home. Sleep. Family. Home.

The rest could wait until later.
