Maybe it was her imagination or a figment of her amusement. But when Minato leaned in a little bit more, when he had given her a rather charming smile, Mei could only stifle a light chuckle as the faint sound of shifting leaves and crunching grass reached her ears. Followed by the whispered sounds of mumbles, and even a soft growl of annoyance just beyond their line of vision. Good. Everything was going according to the plan.

"You know, she's gonna kill you when she finds out, right?" she mumbled low so that only he could hear her. And with that, the kunoichi shifted to rest her chin in the palm of her hand.

"I think I'm willing to take the risk, especially if it means she'll finally understand," he replied, sliding his chair over so that he could sit a bit closer, much to the interest and/or annoyance of their two voyeurs. And to that, the young woman only gave a gentle shake of her head. Perhaps it was the nature of all shinobi to eventually develop a death wish after serving in the profession for so long. Because certainly, if this continued to progress as it was, the both of them would be facing monsterous retribution before the night was over. But at the very least, they could find some entertainment for themselves before their life ended in fire and explosions.

"So tell me, Blondie," Mei mused, "When did you know?"

"Ever since the moment I saw her blow up an entire building in thirty seconds."

Cue amused smirk and a little chuckle at his expense as she picked up the sake cup to take a little sip. "You always did have strange tastes."
