      ——-❝Sage-sama has an interestin’ past! He was a very weird human, but he be my papa for a reason!❞

His child-like thought process had managed to pull his attention away from the true meaning behind the other’s words. It wasn’t often that the large gastropod was able to rant and rave about the man who had separated him from his true form along with his other eight siblings. Then again, his attention span wasn’t exactly the greatest in the first place unless it was of the utmost importance. Practically upon all fours at this point, the slug continued to examine the other carefully before the question she had thrown back at him caught off guard. 

❝Oh—- Um—- I be Saiken!❞

The words reverberated off of the empty walls as an excited tone reflected his current mood. Of course, not many humans truly referred to them by name, but it was always exciting to hear others using their names on occasion. Curious sensory tentacles remained locked upon the red head as dotted tiers curved and stretched into a wider smile while she adjusted that metallic headband of hers. Her temporary fear didn’t cause much of a reaction from the slug, however, due to him not noticing it in the first place. 

❝Gyuki? He was okay. He protected me from Kurama and Shukaku ALL of the time!❞

While she had yet to find a slow minded beast among the nine chakra monstrosities she couldn’t help but find this one just a bit on the childish side. It wasn’t bad considering he had yet to name her so oddly or attempt to crush her to death. Not that she’s specifically name those who had but she was hinting toward her terrible experiences. And if it weren’t out of place she would’ve shuttered at the thought. Such an action would lead to questions considering how close the beast was. Because of this she found herself edging away just a tad. Temptation to poke at one of the optic apparatuses nearly became an overwhelming notion.

                                                            “Saiken, huh?

                                                                      Nice to meet yah.”

Honestly the picture the Raikage painted of the eight tails prior to containing it when compared to Saiken’s explanation had the scarlet nin wondering what happened between then and his sealing within Bee. Fingers brushed curiously though her thick strands before she settled into a sitting position before the giant slug as if she were settling in for a conversation rather than a small exchange of words. His explanation had only spurred more questions on her part rather than satisfying her curiosity. Amber irides fled from the ground to the beast before her, brow quirked.

                           "Really? He always spoke so sourly of the nine tails…

                                                   I’m guessing that’s Kurama haven’t met him yet.“

She mused aloud.

                                                 "I’ve met Shukaku, he’s… interesting.”

Fucking weird as hell more like it. Her true thoughts on the matter were left as just that. The last thing she wished to do was rant about her unfortunate encounters with him and Kokuo.
