"Hm. I think she will. They seemed quite scared of her, at least."

"Fear is good, if she can maintain it."

"I'm not sure she'll be wholly inclined, though she seemed a bit of a chameleon - I should recount the whole affair, proper, though."

Storytime!

She makes a bit of a production of it!

Best girlfriend.

The next day: library trip?

Library! She has yet more books, one for each of the people interested in going (Mora and Mara have both asked to tag along).

That seems to make the entire party, then.

The Keres will graciously assist with carrying those who don't fit into Hisame's arms.

Zoooooooooooom all the way to where they left the library!

The library is nowhere to be seen.

Awww.

Well, what if they keep looking through the desert? It's supposed to move around, after all.

Nope, nothing.

...Annoying.

What if they try splitting up? Does this respond to any senses? Her Rinnegan, for instance?

She can detect absolutely no evidence that any such thing as a library has ever existed in this desert.

She's somewhere between angry and pouting!

Does the Keres want to just zoom back to the village?

Doesn't seem to be much else to do. Unless setting the entire desert on fire would make her feel any better?

She laughs - but, no, she doesn't want to make Mara's job harder, in case that pisses off any spirits.

Then it's back to the village for everyone.

Hisame is apparently very impressive at sulking, especially after Mara asks what she did to piss off the spirits.

"There was a pool with a pair of fish. She stuck her hand in it."

"That'd probably do it. Those two are pretty major."

Nope Hisame is pouting.

Actions have consequences, yep.
