Maigo
D-rank
"So if I win, you pay for me again?" she smirked at him, Maigo grinned back and watched for a second as she felt out the kunai. "That's what I'm saying... but you know, if I win, then it's on you..." he held his smile and gave a half-hearted chuckle. The first kunai flew forward and hit straight through the bullseye, a bit better than he expected right out but he supposed he shouldn't have inspected any less. He then watched as she played around with the kunai, catching them with each other and juggling them through the air, a cheap intimidation tactic he wouldn't fall for but instead smiled at. "Another game of this, or did you want to try a different game after?" she smiled and seemingly zoned out for a short second.
Maigo paused and stepped back a bit to give her a little room, "Well, that depends on if I win or lose here..." he smirked himself in response, an awful lot of that going back and forth. Maigo placed another 10 ryo down and received his own set of five kunai laid out in front of him. It was then that an unexpected question rang out from Lin, "What... what do you think of the Raikage?" it caught Maigo a bit off guard as he picked up the first kunai, her tone and stature showed her uncertainty but he wasn't sure how to reply himself. He hummed to himself for a minute, looking to Lin and marking her facial expression before his gaze circled around the ground for a moment, then back to his hand.
He, well, he didn't really know what to think about any of it, his thoughts on the matter weren't clear or understood, he had a very... partial picture at best, but still he would offer what he could. "I don't really know much about him." He flipped the kunai in his hand rapidly back and forth, it wasn't even sharp enough that he worried about cutting himself, he would need more force for sure, he felt that much. Bringing the kunai up to his collarbone area and holding it, blade in hand and ring up, he let his arm extend rapidly, flicking it forward with two fingers at the highest possible speed his arm and the kunai could move at the target on the right of Lin's. It flew forward and rotated in the wind, spiraling to the right and landing just centimeters away from the bulls-eye. Maigo exhaled in disappointment, too much force...
Before grabbing another kunai though, he turned to Lin and spoke up again, "The Raikage is someone notable in history, notorious for being powerful, hot-headed, and quick to act. I think that describes the current one well enough, I know he imprisoned all the Kirigakure shinobi he could on essentially a whim, and whatever happened, well... afterwards wasn't good for anyone. Otherwise, I've never met him and don't really have any will or want to..." his eyes turned back and grabbed another kunai, feeling this one as well, noting the weights were differently displaced. A nice trick, making sure no one could get a feel for how any one knife traveled.
But before he threw this knife, his gaze glanced back towards Lin, waiting to see if she'd thrown anymore and how she was doing comparitively before asking his question, "Why do you want to know what I think about the Raikage?" he asked with a raised brow and paused to hear out her answer.
