She gives her order, managing a polite smile as she plays the role for the vendor. He turns away, by a quick turn of her head, she sees a number of civilians forming up in a line behind her. Her back stiffens as she notices a few more milling about the far end of the low table. She watches one particularly large civilian, dressed in flowing white robes, block her immediate view of the target.
In her ear, the radio squawks to life.
"Position one. Status." The Leaf nin says.
"Standby" she whispers, and quickly leans over to see around the lardish fellow. She worries her low lip, knowing the thick civilian crowd is not such a good place to confront or capture anyone. That is not her role, she knows, but the possibility of injuring anyone, however unintentionally, frightens her.
"Ninja. Feh." The vendor says, startling her gaze back with the thunk of the heavily laden bowl. She swallows sheepishly, and reaches for her payment."Still on duty, are you?"
"Lunch break, actually." She replies.
"You lot are good for business." The vendor nods, and smiles genially. "Come back again, alright?"
"Uh, sure. Thanks." She says with a grin of her own. Both hands on the great bowl of her ramen, she turns. She darts her eyes to the target, and lets out a breath. The mass of noodles he was currently chewing nearly matched the golden ponytail gracing his dirty tunic.
She kept her eyes on him, and, once she was in a relatively clear area, set her steaming bowl on the ground.
"Position one.. Target located." She said. "Repeat. Target located." She then settled down and proceeded with her description.
"Copy." The leaf nin said. "What a bother, but too easy. Ok. Proceeding with operation, stand by position one."
"Copy that."
