"You really didn't have to come with me." Neji told Tenten.
"I couldn't ditch you either. You already went through too much," responded Tenten.
"Since you did, thanks," said Neji. "You said that you know this place? Can you give me a tour?"
"Later. I'll go find a place to stay," said Tenten.
"I'm not tired yet. Let's take a look first."
"Okay, here's the thing," Tenten sighed. "I'm a wanted woman here. I did some things, pissed Duke Naruto off, etc, etc., so it's better if I don't show my face that much."
"What did you do? Did you slay a whole army or something?"
"No! I used be a thief, okay? His servant Konohamaru went shopping every week, and I used to pick their pockets. One day, Konohamaru caught me. He told Naruto, and Naruto made exiled me." Tenten rolled her eyes. "And that's why I live a miserable life in a boat."
"Exiling you just for that? He really is an idiot!" Neji exclaimed.
"Not so loud!" Tenten hissed. "One of his servants might hear you!"
"I'll go see the city by myself. Don't draw too much attention to yourself, okay?"
"Gotcha. There's an inn near the south called The Toad. I'll go book us rooms there. Here's my wallet," Tenten gave Neji her wallet.
"What's this for?" Neji asked.
"I know you don't have any money right now, but if you see something you like, don't hesitate to buy it. It's fine, I can always get more," Tenten assured Neji when he tried to give it back. "So we'll meet up at the inn in, say, an hour?"
"Fine."
"Bye! Have fun touring!"
