[Open] I have too many Gaara mused OTL

[a_touch_of_rose]

In the blink of an eye, from one moment to the next, she was somewhere else. The redhead blinked in mild surprise and stared around at her surroundings. This...didn't look like Kumo. She'd been there a moment ago, speaking with the Raikage about possibly reworking some of their treaties, and now...

She appeared to be standing on the outskirts of a village that she didn't recognize; from the numerous pinpricks of strong, trained chakras, she suspected it was a shinobi village of some sort. That was...not a bad thing, she decided. And so Sabaku no Gaara began walking toward the village, long red curls lifting briefly away from her neck in the stray breeze.

If this is genjutsu, it is unlike anything I have seen before, she mused as she walked, easily weaving between others visiting the markets and wandering. The gourd strapped to her back earned her a few surprised looks, but she ignored them in favor of searching for someone who was likely to be a shinobi; civilians rarely had the answers she required.

She didn't even have to look at his hair and eyes; he was wearing that tell-tale high collared shirt. But he snuck in a glance at her face again, so he wasn't complaining~

"The sandstorm didn't do any damage, really, just delayed me. I'm fine!" And he laughs when she talks about his clan. "Yeah our 'esteemed' clan. Pffft. So... Where are you from?" He hoped she wouldn't mind telling him, though that would be difficult, given that people were still rather wary of Uchiha.

That was true enough. The glance had been to confirm it, though. She didn't immediately straighten, partly because the gourd was resting on the roof life this and it alleviated some of the weight off her back.

There was a slight frown at his treatment of her comment about his clan, but she let it go, draping an arm over her knee and sighing. "I am from Suna," was the unhurried reply. She didn't seem to distrust him at all. "I am - or was, I am uncertain as to how this will change - the Godaime Kazekage."

A beat. "I am called Sabaku no Gaara, though just 'Gaara' is preferable, unless you happen to be my enemy."
