Re: [action] [Kisame hits the ground feet first amidst a swirl of his cloak and a cloud of steam, surrounded by the scattered remnants of soaked, dying embers and a handful of fallen knives. It's difficult to see Sasuke through it, but he doesn't need to see details to spot the vague outline of the boy's figure regaining its feet; he stoops to pick one of the knives up, comforted by the weight of a weapon in his hand, and starts advancing.]
Not bad at all, Sasuke-san..... If I'd wanted a barbeque, that is.
[It's deliberately slow now, calm as his footsteps splash in the sizable puddle the attack left in its wake, a fluid, almost predatory stalk through the lingering mist. He's committed to nothing just yet--he thinks he'd like to see just what other capabilities or strategies the boy has at this age. He knows Chidori by now, doesn't he? Will he use it? Will he run? The uncertainty is tantalizing.]
What now, Sasuke-san? Got any more tricks up your sleeve?
