Intro: Stuck with you

She had spent most of the morning exploring the strange town she'd woken up in, highly disoriented as to how she'd even gotten here when she'd gone to sleep, and a rather light one at that, barely a few minutes ago in one of the medic tents of the war zone. In essence, she was on edge, confused, and had been scouting out where she was for the better part of an hour.

Nobody here knew anything about any war.

Nobody here understood what she was asking the questions for and rather looked like they wanted to pat her on the head. In essence, the epitome of a situation that was designed to leave her staggering as she tried to understand the situation.

She blamed this for the fact that the chakra, refined unlike that of the villagers, didn't catch her attention until she'd already passed the other figure by. Unfortunately, by then something else had kicked in and it was a chain that drew her up short as she spun to see just who it was that was here with her.

He'd discovered the library in this village, and had been spending a good portion of his day in there, absorbed in books with such titles as, "How To Make Friends" and "Your Guide to Using a Smile to Succeed!" and others. Thus, he was perhaps a bit distracted himself, eyes closed as he tries his own version of one of the smiles the book had mentioned. It hurt his lips, though, so he almost immediately stopped trying that one.

He actually stops before whatever's around his wrist can tug, sensing the shift in his weight before anything else and immediately turning to take a step in and slacken the pressure.

"...Sakura?" He blinks at the chain and tugs, attempting to free his wrist.

One of his reflexive smiles comes to his lips in an attempt to put her at ease. After all, a stressed Sakura quickly turned to an angry Sakura, and he had no desire to have to pick his face up off the ground today. "Ah... no." Still, he makes no move to try to remove it, seeming more puzzled than worried.

"We are not in combat, no," he agrees easily, opening his eyes to rotate his wrist before his face. The only sign that he might be a little disturbed is a slight furrowing of his eyebrows. "From the intelligence I have gathered, we are presently in Michi no Sato of Jiten-Kuni. I presume we are here to await orders."

It's difficult to tell the difference -- after all, it's Sai -- but he goes completely still, head tilting only the smallest fraction as that smile becomes even more frozen on his face.

"War?"

One can almost see the question mark forming over his head as it just cants a little further to the left, waiting for her to elaborate. After all, the search to bring Sasuke back could hardly be considered a war, nor could even the movements of Akatsuki, really.

His eyes follow the movement of the chain with the same air of curious puzzlement before returning his attention to her face. "Ah... no. I am part of Team Kakashi, unless my orders have changed? That would explain why I am here instead of in the village..."

"Ah..." He blinks, bringing his hand up to his lips in thought. "Naruto was training to cut a waterfall in two." His smile returns to his face. "You made those disgusting mud-balls you tried to call medicine."

"Ouch." There's no feeling behind the expression, though, and he just takes a step out of range. "Can you describe this war more fully?"
