[Mikumo tries not to judge people on first glance - she's seen some very competent eccentrics in even her short time in existence, so if someone's managed to not paste themselves against a tree yet, she'll give at least some benefit of the doubt. If nothing else, she takes his response with a level of mild amusement, seemingly used enough to these types of environments to maintain a little banter.]

One or two wild animals, but they're easily distracted. It's the eventual other kinds of attention we'll be getting that I'm preparing for.

[Mikumo's gone on one too many undercover or stealth missions that went pear-shaped halfway through to expect this one's going to go smoothly. The area's going to be highly scrutinised - in situations like this, it tends not to be a matter of if they're discovered, but when.

For now, she sprays another rune, making quick work of it so they can continue forward.]
