Verdandi would come awfully close to Raphael's face for a second as he stared at her. In a way it might feel annoyed by her sudden enforced presence. As he clearly exhaled the aura of a more reserved person. But he must have realized that for a moment there, all politeness and manners aside, he had been staring at her eye pretty straight forward. Verd didn't seem to make a big thing out of it but merely grinned in an almost creepy way as she widened here eyes. Basically, sticking his object of interest straight forward so he could get a good look at it. Verd would chuckle if the little tease had left the boy either annoyed or disturbed. But she liked him. So far. He didn't look bad at least. Seemed a bit too conservative in behaviour for her taste but hey. Verdandi eventually got reminded that, this guy had actually made both a proposition and asked a question. Completely embarrassed by her utter lack of manners Verd would drop her head in dramatic shame. But it only seemed to annoy him further when she played her games. Verd pouted. No fun. Eventually she dropped the play and returned to her more casual self. She wasn't necessarily a lunatic. Just sometimes enjoyed it to challenge someone's personality to get to the bottom of it. At least she figured what he was all about and that her primary observation as towards his slightly… snobby or arrogant attitude was correct.
However, he seemed to not be the unreasonable type. His words and eyes asked for skill and results and Verdandi couldn't help but smile amused at the thought of that. Having talents and providing results was something she could certainly play along with. Eventually she pulled a little paper map from her cleavage and dropped it on the table. It was a complete sketched map of the Kiri Border-Camp. A thing that basically should not be allowed to exist as to its somewhat critical form of information to behold of. One would have to glance twice that this actually wasn't a professionally made map for mass use. But instead a drawing that Verdandi had created all on her own with but a pencil. While the outlines of the camp had been drawn in a very specific darker pressure to keep a wonderfully detailed overview about corners, tents and various supply posts. Some smaller, thinner lines could be seen. Dozens of them. Remarks of various locations. Signal receiving strength over Verdandi whom must have been tapped into the spy's frequency since multiple hours if not even days. Having confirmed the persons current persona, current face, current attire and obviously now. Active chakra signature. The timing was perfect to start out her plan. Her training allowed her to use the Sharingan for quite some time however it was still quite a drain to one's chakra. So, the quicker they could get things over with, the better. Verdandi searched somewhere in her pockets for the pencil before eventually finding it where she had stored the map.
Verdandi would shortly turn her head to check if the chakra signature was still there and still the same. Her ear was still half-way plugged and Raphael could potentially hear a voice coming from it as Verdandi, as odd as she might behave, was mumbling the words she heard in her plug to herself. "… Sqaud 11, Fourteen Hundred, Alpha Gimmick, Hydra Zen Getta Pon Shelin…" and it kept going. Gibberish to most but not to someone whom had been studying the code of the spy for a few days now still useful information. Without even bothering to answer Raphael just yet she processed the new information. Pressed a button to change her Radio's Frequency and directly informed a certain Kiri ANBU about a certain Squadron that better turn back around before they walk into a massive trap. Once that was done. Verd tuned immediately back into the frequency of the spy. Seemingly if Raph had questions as to why she had not engaged her target sooner. He would probably know why now. Verd had been, as seemingly airheaded as she appears, continuously logged any information the spy had provided to the enemy and used her obtained intel to decode the messages and get the basic gist of it to warn her own troops about potential assaults, traps, revolts and alike. However, this kind of intel was something that didn't work out forever. Their target was smart, he'd figure it out soon.
Which in turn again, was the very reason why Verdandi was here and not settling down as the eternal spy message converter. Tuning in on him had to be made use of while he still was unaware of such. Raphael's presence however seemed to be the final, missing piece in Verdandi's little puzzle. Well not specifically just him. All of them.
"Alright. If we directly engage him we're going to lose. He's too fast. Too smart. Too knowledgeable and perfectly prepared to run. But, while the camp is large. There are ways he must pass to escape the premises and make his way for the border walls. So why should we present our presence to him, especially both of ours from the start. If we don't instantly catch him, which is unlikely, he will adjust his tactic specifically design to avoid the two of us. But if we let him deal with something absolutely different than ourselves… we can wait for an actual opening. A moment of weakness. A moment where he mistakenly feels secure and lowers his guard. Then we will catch him."
Verd nodded. Having but two more things on her mind. First. Verdandi was already equipped with her natural sensory technique. However, she never intended to only use one sense to accomplish her goals. But if she was to hunt him with her eye she would have little time to hunt with another sense. This is where Raphael could become quite useful. Verdandi whistled once softly. A rather large, heavy polar bear would eventually rise from a nearby tent and growl right back at Verdandi.
"Oki. I'm off, try not to get lost. You can use my buddy Avalanche if you wish to make use of his nose. Bring him close to our target, just once and he will follow the guy relentlessly until he catches him. Distance won't stop him anymore. He can pick up scents over miles." With that being said. It was completely up to Raphael if he wished to use the bears help or not. Verd had to bring stage one of her plan into order. She would however wait and listen for Raphael if he wished to add anything to her inputs or expected him to be versatile enough to roll with it as things went and came to happen.
Second. If Raphael wouldn't stop her. Verd would proceed to split her body and give rise to a shadow clone. Both of them staring at each other for a second as they hushed through the shadows of the mission HQ tent. Slowly spreading whispers of the targets current location. How he looks. What he's doing on the radio and THAT BOUNTY that one might be able to reap if they would intercept him and get his head. Verd snickered. By means of simple manipulation over three dozen men would all laugh to themselves and slowly leave the Mission HQ as to move forward. The hunt would begin and Verdandi had merely sent the dogs to rile up the fox from his burrow.
