The group would eventually rendevouz at the base of the mountain. For now it seemed any encounters or any suspicious activity that could be spotted with the naked eye on route was either well hidden or inexistent at least from ground level. Toso's tentacles already seemed apt and ready for take off but before doing so he would wait for everyone to rendezvous one last time and to see if Liori's aerial reconnaissance had picked up anything. Things seemed to be going smoothly. However, it was too early to say they were going too smoothly but it was at the point where Toso wouldn't have considered it rough. By now if the alleged giants he'd assumed may have been hostile were present he had expected a rain of arrows or something akin to giant-san like a rain of sharpened trees. As of right now there was nothing to take note of aside from the majesty of the mountain itself. However, it still paled in comparison to the mountains that held Kumogakure. So Toso would wait aptly for his partners. If there was nothing to report the fan out orders from earlier would take effect.

♥ Liori had stopped her run a shot jot from the foot of the mountains, sitting high up in a tree this her knees pulled up to her chest while she took a breather and tried to cool the raging flame of discomfort in her stomach. Both eyes closed, she stared dully at the ground bellow her clay bird. She had started her survey of the initial area long before she even neared the mountain's base, she saw naught of walking mountain men as the mission described. She saw no towering huts or light of fire. Only a peeking the cave systems the ran through the earth, and a strange malformation to the rocks further north. Opening her right eye she stared at the bark beneath her feet with a glare that risked setting the branch aflame. 'This isn't working. If only this blasted headache would stop screaming in my ears!' She thought as she ran her fingers through her milky white hair. She clenched her hands into fists, coiling her fingers between white strands before tugging in frustration. Standing up suddenly she leaped from her perch in the tree and landed on the soil bellow. Freeing her hands from her now tangled hair she bent into her taijutsu pose, knees bent slight as she twisted at her core with each punch thrown. If she was going to remain useful to her squad mates she needed to clear away some of the anger she had been building up, it was risking to cloud her sight and judgment. each time her knuckles dug into the ungiving tree she felt the fire bottled in her gut start to burn itself away. she could feel her knuckles starting to feel the effects of hitting a solid object but she continued anyways. The main in her hands helping to distract the headache. Her burning session continued for a couple of minutes, the striking point on the tree having had its bark long since cracked, splintered, and stripped to expose the wood beneath. Taking a deep breath she took a step back, a calmness having washed over her while doing mindless violence. Rubbing her lightly bloodied knuckles she released her stored breath, lucky to step away without a broken hand. She was angry but she wasn't so stupid to use her full strength. Her resistance training didn't hurt either. Focusing back on the clay birth she had left flying in a wide circle she spotted a familiar cloak off in the distance, Toso had arrived at the meeting point some time ago based on his body stance. She made her way towards the jell-o man, slipping her hands into her pockets as she started a light jog through the woods. Her clay crow landed itself on top of the squid's head, silently mock cawing. Not long after its perching Liori emerged from the treeline, slowing her jog to a walk. Over all her mood had taken strides towards normalcy thanks to her burn out, her lax smile mostly real again. "Oi Jell-O Bowl, good news. I was able to spot some area's of the mountain that might prove fruitful. This mountain seems to be littered with a cave system if the holes burrowing into the mountain sides are anything to go with, such a dense system might make for a good home... for anyone on the run or wishing to remain hidden. The more important thing I noticed was what looks to be the beginning of a quarry... or at least some man made holes in rocks. The caves are all over, if you want to check them out but the 'quarry' is a good distance to the north." She reported to her squad leader. Her clay bird flying back into the air above them, having realized how dangerous it was to keep a live bomb on her squad leader's head.

Having gotten separated from Ori-chan, who she was following to Toso-kun's location, Ara stumbled around before continuing ahead and managing to catch wind of her clan mate. She smiled up at the taller Hojo clan member while travelling up the mountain while wondering where Ori-chan was. "Where did you go, Ori-chan?" Ara mumbled to herself while focusing on the surrounding area of the mountain. The squidling followed close by Toso-kun until they stumbled across Ori-chan once more, Ara exhaling as her fears were put to bed. "There you are! Ika~ Don't worry us like that again!" The child furrowed her brows before looking to Toso-kun for their next set of instructions.

"Wonderful discoveries Blast. Bloop but...that heavily concerns me. Bloop." From his sleeves Toso produced one of the cases that contained the lenses he had purchased. With one hand like a meticulous clocksmith working on his finest piece of work he spoke on as he removed the current lenses of his glasses replacing them with green tinted ones. Toso's eyes were already photosensitive to a degree these lenses would only prove to aid in that photosensitivity he hoped. "Bloop. Caverns are dangerous and dimly lit. We'll proceed towards the aforementioned quarry bloop but we have to take precautions. Bloop. Liori you wouldn't happen to know the earth tremor sense jutsu do you. I believe it would be invaluable in scouting out these terrains and finding the inhabitants bloop. I do dislike having to task you so much bloop but I suppose you could say I'm more an individually tailored to scout terrain rather than seek particular individuals. Bloop."
With the lenses finally replaced he kept an eye on Ara before he proceeded to produce a bulge in his cheeks. The bulge then became what could be a blob that hurdled through the air making contact with a tree staining it. "If it comes time to flee or in the event of a cave in it's best to have a method of escape bloop. Inkling it would be wise to produce a fail safe of your own to utilize that technique I taught you to get us out in a mess bloop. Unlike Bang-chan bloop we aren't really tailored for ground based maneuverability." While it wasn't being upfront about it with his new lenses Toso looked at Liori. His gaze seemed to convey a heaviness behind it as if to say in such an event she would need to come up with a way of her own to escape but at the same time conveyed if she failed to do so they would return for her. However, once that gaze ended it was replaced with another one. That gaze was that of faith, trust, and responsibility. Liori was the leader for the time being until they reached this quarry and the responsibilities of leadership would be hers to bear for now but hopefully she would realize it was not just solely her.
"Well Bloop, shall you lead the way Liori?" Toso said placing a hand on top of Ara's head in a head patting gesture as the container that now held his old lenses vanished into his magician like sleeves. It was best that they hurried and returned soon. The last thing they needed would be being assumed missing or worse...dead.

♥ Liori made a sympathetic shrug to the pouting squidling, before turning her attention back to 'Jell-O Bowl.' Her brow furrowed at the mention of the earth tremor sense jutsu. The name rung a bell, it was on of the many Doton techniques she was interested in but never found the time to learn. "Sorry to say but I haven't gotten around to that one, but to compensate I'll just fly the C1 a little closer to the ground, hard to see much up there anyways," She said with a sigh, the clay bird halving its height in the sky so she could see bellow the canopy of any trees of protruding overhangs, "Shouldn't stumble in on anyone we don't want to keeping it lower... down side is I see less and it'll be easier for any hostiles to take it out." Finishing her reply she made a mock salute before quickly slipping her hand back into her coat pocket. The moment she noticed what Toso was about to do she took a few steps away from him, she was not looking to get anymore of that annoying ink stuck on her clothes or skin. After directing the squidling to do the same he looked over at her, his gaze heavy with meaning. She made a small nod of understanding, being the only Doton combatant she was the only one with the ability to just slip into the earth, while not as useful as a teleport she shouldn't have to much trouble fleeing or hiding until they could regroup. Not a moment later his gaze changed, the mood in the air changing along with it. She never really had people depending on her as much as this mission seemed to be pilling on her, it made her shoulders feel heavy with responsibility. She barely knew these two and it was up to her to make sure she didn't guide them to their deaths. "I... I understand." She said closing her right eye and taking a deep breath, "If we get separated for whatever reason keep an ear out for three explosions. I'll use that as a signal to let you two know I'm heading back here. Though it might draw unwanted attention, so if you have a better idea for signaling safety tell me now." With her briefing over she started her way towards the quarry, the path laid out in her mind as the C1 continued its flight ahead of them, eye peeled for movement.

Ara quietly allowed the two ninja to discuss stuff around her while she was much to busy shooting Ori-chan a pretty skeptical look now. If this kind of behaviour continued with the mission, she would be left with no other choice but to call her out for it, possibly threatening the completeion of the mission, or at least making things even more difficult for Toso-kun and her. Speaking of which, the slender squid asked about a certain jutsu that would make their lives easier in scouting the rest of the cave systems. Sadly, Ori-chan did not have the skill in her arsenal, but offered a work around for the moment. It would have to make due, even if it was still pretty risky. Before everyone decided to throw the dice on the board and go into a potentially unstable mine, Toso-kun instructed her to use the jutsu that he had taught her before leaving town,. It certainly would be useful as an escape mechanism, in either case of whether or not that the place was going to come down. She aimed at a tree nearby the one Toso-kun had inked and felt her cheeks bulge for a moment before sending a jet black ink blob at the target, her ink staining the tree as she gave the thumbs up to the mission leader. "Got it!~" She exclaimed, facing Oi-chan and smiling quite confidently as Toso-kun gave her a pat on the head. With much haste, the female lead the two squids into the quarry, her scouting bird flying ahead in case something were to happen in front of them. The squidling walked alongside Toso-kun, keeping her eyes peeled for the tunnels ahead of them and whether or not anything would jump out in search of a beating.

The venturing individuals would eventually made it to the entrance of the quarry undeterred and uniterrupted. There was no quaking movements or suspicious activity to report it seemed as the squid stayed aptly behind Liori who led the way. When arriving at what could be assumed as the quarry Toso would raise a tentacle. "Excellent job Blast Bloop." Mayhaps it was dumb luck they didn't run into any mountain lions or anything of the sort but at least Liori could breath easier that their safety in her hands was lessened to a degree. However, his gratitudes were cut short as the tentacle he had risen immediately latched on to some jagged rocky terrain as he catapulted himself upwards to seemingly hide behind it. A precautionary measure he made sure to relay to the rest of the squad to also assume high or hidden ground. Reaching out for his communicator he'd relay Ara the following.
"Inkling bloop. If you don't mind could you place the communicator between you and Bang Babe? Bloop." With hopes that Ara did as he asked he hoped the following would be heard between the two of them. "It seems I've reached an impasse as a leader bloop. So I present two options that we may decide upon as a team bloop. Our mission is to confirm whether or not these Giant folk reside in these mountains bloop. This seemingly man made quarry bloop seems evidence of such activity bloop. Option one bloop is to spelunk the caverns bloop. Option two is..well a little riskier bloop. Bang or myself bloop will create an explosion outside the entrance, one that does not compromise the structural integrity of the cavern bloop. Such a sound is bound to garner some attention bloop. If what emerges from the cave is a Giant-san bloop we depart immediately to report our findings assuming we do not get spotted. A second explosion bloop produced by the opposite party either myself or Bang will be made in the opposite direction of our location. Naturally, this would pull more to investigate that location while we make our escape. Finally bloop...and the most unlikely, hopefully bloop. If our positions are compromised bloop. Inkling I will need you to be as innocent,apologetic,and as confused as possible as if you were a lost little girl bloop. Bang and I will flee to the best of our ability bloop but do everything you can to disassociate yourself with us. See if you can play your charm and see if the Giant-sans are friendly and see what they are up to. Once you've collected your information flee using Toso-inku at the most opportune time discreetly. Of course if the giant-sans respond or act out violently flee immediately bloop. What are your thoughts on this bloop."

♥ Liori could feel the weight of the world slip of her shoulders once they had gotten in sight of the quarry, her clay bird perched in a tree just before the clearing. But all was not good, with Toso suddenly switching to the defensive. Her clay eye darting around to see if she had missed an hostiles, while she didn't see anything alive she opted to go with his instincts and duck for cover just to be safe. Slipping behind the cover of a tree she crouched her body low, clay bird ready to dart into the sky at a moments notice. Not to far from her Ara had taken to covering, lucky for them as Toso seemed to asked the squidling to put the communicator within hearing distance for both of them. The familiar 'bloop' could faintly be heard before he delved into what his two plans were. What it boiled down to was a safe but time consuming approach or a ballsy quick and dirty approach. Resting her hand under her chin she weighed the options. 'The safe option would keep Ara out of harms way... but time is of the essence... I could probably draw enough of them away with a big enough explosion to mitigate her risk...' Nodding to herself she took a deep breath. "Alright Toso. I vote we go in loud. If we end up going that route I also volunteer to play the role of secondary explosives. I should be able to generate more than enough sound to draw them from both of you before hiding in the soil." She answered honestly, closing her eye as she continued to think. Slipping her hands into her clay pouches to start pre-mending enough clay in the event they go with the loud option... the longer they stayed near the quarry the higher the chances they get stumbled upon.

While nothing had seemed to shoot out at the trio of Kumo-nin yet, there was still much of this cave to get through, and it was torture for Ara's nerves to be tested this way. Toso-kun and Ori-chan heroically moved forward to delve further into the quarry for the giant-kin, assuming that there were any here. While she didn't really know if such things existed, Ara still knew that in this wild world of talking animals, ninjutsu, and squid lovers (hopefully in not both meanings of the words) that things could still take one by surprise. Speaking of which, the older squid person leaped over a piece of large rock, almost like he had found something interesting for the group. After the performance of his physical ability, she watched as Ori-chan did the same with great haste, causing the squidling to duck behind her as a precautionary method. Toso-kun must have assumed that she would do so, as she instructed her to hold the communicator between her and Ori-chan. Reaching to grab her communicator, she held it in front of them and looked to her teammate while Toso-kun spoke. He spoke about the caverns and such being proof enough, but to further get the proof of such, they could continue to explore the caverns or do something which would be quicker and probably even fun. This approach would task two of the members with causing a series of explosions around the important parts of the caverns. If the giants were truly there, then they would probably come out in time, or be crushed to death or something. Ara wasn't too sure of the point of this exercise, but her part would be trying to separate herself from the group if giants actually did come and see what had caused the caverns to fall down. Being childish, innocent and nonthreatening was basically her only job in the village so far. "Mhm! Option 2 sounds better. Ika~ If anyone comes out, I'll do my best to get some info on 'em, Toso-kun~"

With the confirmation of the two members Toso would provide a nod of satisfaction. Hidden still behind his conveniently jagged rock that was also coincidentally squid shaped Toso would inhale perform a string of hidden hand signs beneath his sleeves poke his head out only briefly and exhale a puff of air. The air itself the coalesced and took the shape of a large ball shape just above the caverns entrance. Of course this was done only after a quick analysis of the perimeter to assure that there had yet to be any signs of activity. The more refined version of Jirainku was a lot more discreet than the crude one Toso had made in the bay town's wharf. Confidently hidden behind the rock now he'd perform a single hand sign. Then with an echoing insurmountable force of exploding air the sound would find itself resonating to echo down the cavern and the surroundings of the outer quarry. He had made certain the explosive force wasn't enough to damage any surrounding rock structures which may be misconstrued as an act of hostility.
Step one had been put into place. He entrusted Liori had her explosive technique on route to lead anything that came out astray. After the explosion signaled the beginning of the crass plan. Toso looked outward from his hiding place with a crane in his neck towards the caverns entrance with a transfixed gaze on any movement coming outward piercing the darkness with night vision lenses. The ink left behind from the mines detonation however was far from subtle. It had stained a vast majority of the rock structures in black splatter.

The eruption echoed throughout the obvious quarry, with the soundwaves bouncing about like a muppet with rubber on its posterior, making seeing anything through radar absolutely impossible. The echoes, however, did indeed reach the depths of the tunnel beyond, the echoes fading into the darkness. As it was, the fact the sounds did not come back meant it went much further inwards than perhaps anyone could have originally guessed, but what they had predicted, and correctly, was that something deep inside did indeed hear it. The sounds of boots echoed from deep within, the clinking of chains following it in such a way as to make it seem a prisoner was making their way towards them.
It took a few moments, but waiting would prove the best option in the large number of available possibilities. From the darkness came a monstrously large man, though not nearly as tall as Wanryoku was. Yet where Wanyroku, as strong as he was, held a more athletic build this man was clearly more built for war. Wider, more muscular, and bearing armor built unlike anything they'd seen before. In each hand large blades lay, easily as large as either of the group was standing tall, and he held them loosely, lightly, in each hand. Black, brooding eyes turned slowly to look around outside, examining the different marks of ink everywhere he looked. For the moment, that was all he did.

With the large mans appearance Toso scanned it's personage quickly taking note of immediate key details, it seemed he had gone unnoticed for now as the giant remained perplexed if not made curious by the ink. There was one giant-san, but one was enough. The mans build was bulging with a musculature that made his very visage intimidating to say the least and the blades at his sides did no favors to ease what could be untold prowess. The female group and himself had seemingly gone unnoticed for now. Returning to his cover through the communicator Toso would relay the following making sure to keep his volume to a minimum level. "Bang, now bloop. Inkling evacuate. We've confirmed a giant-san presence. We'll leave the rest to another squad more apt for engagement. bloop. We'll re-convene at the Bay then make way towards the village. Inkling entrust Bang with your communicator before evacuation so we can maintain radio contact after separation. Papa Squid out Bloop."
Upon these parting words Toso would conjure his two brushes from his sleeves stick them in his mouth then paint himself a discreet tapestry of which he could leap into without garnering any attention towards the rock as the typical inking method would. There was no time to waste. It would only be so long before the the village deemed them missing. With the ideal of haste in mind Toso leapt into his inky portal hoping that Liori would be able to evacuate safely. Although there came a hint of worry when he came out of the earlier ink splot he made outside what was considered the mountain perimeter looking at Ara's. She would listen to his order to evacuate wouldn't she? She had been clinging to Liori as of recently. Awaiting his unit Toso would analyze the surroundings and take a defensive stance with his two brushes still firmly in hand. He had his doubts but it couldn't be said all was clear yet. If there were more giant-sans. If they patrolled outside the mountainous region, the looming threat of ambush was still a very real possibility. Leaving a large black stain on a tree and the ground around it wasn't exactly something that would have been easily missed by any other curious giant-sans.

❞ ·.¸¸.-Techniques Used<-.¸¸.·´❞ ΦTechnique Name: Tōsō inku 逃走インク(Fleeing Ink/ Literal:Getaway Ink) Rank: C (Used B) -30 Ch Description: The Hojo Clan member can pass through their own ink itself for the minor duration and travel through areas covered in their own ink to reappear in any subsequent area there is ink. Similar and not unlike Shunshin, this technique has a maximum [teleport] usage of three times per battle. Errata: •Minor Duration is [2] Posts in which the user can remain hidden without paying a sustain cost. •Transfer from one ink area to another ink area does not need to be connected but doing so will consume a use of Shunsin •The Hojo needs to recall and re-envision where it was they last left the ink area in which they wish to travel to if there is no direct connection. Chakra consumption is increased varying on distance traveled consuming an additional ranks worth of chakra per [2-miles] traveled. •This is only possible with the Hojo's own ink not any other ink source. If a Hojo's ink is contaminated by another ink of the same color it will be ruined. Water, however, is okay. •Movement through directly connected ink is possible as if having been submerged until the end of the minor duration. •Traveling from an ink of one color to an ink of another color is not possible without first ejecting oneself from the original color ink they've merged with. •Cannot use any other jutsu or bloodline technique while submerged unless it involves resurfacing or was used prior.

♥ Liori watched as Toso garnered the attention of the creatures inside the quarry, not but a few moments later did they get the confirmation they were looking for. A hulking monstrosity of a man appeared from the shadows, seemingly drawn by the blast, inspecting the marks of ink Toso had left against stone walls. She took a small breath as she listened to what her leader had to say, letting it go once he had finished. She needed to be gone and setting off charges of clay five seconds ago but she stayed to listen for any last minute instructions. A mistake in her mind. 'I don't need the damn communicator. Thats what my blasts were for! Whatever listen to Toso, he's in charge for a reason. Now move Liori, divert attention' She didn't wait for Ara to toss her the device, weaving a set of hand seals she covered her body in translucent milky white chakra and slipped into the spoil below. Quickly swimming her way through the dirt she poked her head and hand out from the ground behind the squidling. "Stay safe." Was all she whispered before tasking the device with a soft smile and disappearing back under the ground. All the white her C1 had taken off the moment Toso set his charge off, all ready blow the moment she needed it to. She climbed out of the soil fully once she was away from the clearing, lifting her right hand and setting her clay raven off. A distance away from the quarry entrance her bird swelled and began to leak light through thin cracks before erupting with a big bang and seem to echo off the side of the mountain. Liori herself had been booking it at full speed towards where she set her bird off, mending mouths almost finished molding the clay she had planned out. One mouth for another explosion, the other for plan B. While she didn't need to set off three small explosions in rapid succession anymore now that she had the communicator, she planned to do so anyways after all only one person would be able to listen to her voice, and she wanted to make sure both knew she was heading back. Skidding to a halt while lifting her right hand above her head, the mending mouth vomiting a thick layer of clay over her lower arm and hand. With a flare of her Katon chakra the clay began to take form of a gauntlet. "C'mon c'mon.. no idea how fast those walking tree's are... Might already be here." She mumbled under her breath, clutching her hand into a fist as she put her left foot in front of her, bending her body at her core as she reared her right arm, before whipping it forward in a straight punch. As her fist neared the tree she flared her chakra, the gauntlet quickly mirror what happened to her C1 before exploding forwardly as her punch connected. She chose such to use Ryūsei Sumasshu because to served a dual purpose, it would set off yet another loud bang but also leave behind something for whatever came looking to inspect buying her more time to get away from her risky position and set off her the clay still molding in her left hand. She didn't even bother to turn and look if anyone had wandered on her yet, she had wasted enough time stopping to set off a second explosion as insurance, before turning heel and bolting into the forest away from both the meeting point and quarry. She bit her lip as she looked at her right hand, she hadn't properly let the clay settle so the explosion wasn't entirely outward like she designed the technique. The damage wasn't major, she only gave herself minor burns on potions of her arm and a few fingers. She was lucky she didn't ignite it immediately, she didn't even want to picture how her hand would look... if it was still there to begin with. She ignore the burning sensation writhing through her arm as she ducked behind a tree. Tapping the communicator she peeked her head from behind the tree to look for any movement behind her. "This is Blast Babe. Diverging blasts done, on my way back soon, a little woosy from using so much chakra all at once. Don't see anyone yet." She whispered into the mic before lifting her hand off of it. Eyes peeled for anything that would impeded her sprint back to safety.

As luck would have it, the explosions seemed to have gained the attention of somebody in the mountinous area, somebody who was huge and looked like something out of an old story about warriors or something. This discovery was enough to make Ara's eyes light up with excitement. She had never seen a man...thing as large as this person was. It was enough to make her feel like some sort of ant, at least more so than usual. The call of Toso-kun through the communicator was enough to jolt her back into reality as he gave the order to evacuate from the area immediately. The squidly wanted to say how they could probably try and reason with it, before remembering that the giant probably could pin the cause of the explosion on them. Besides, she wasn't up for becoming this thing's next meal. She handed the communicator to her, adding "Please be okay, Ori-chan." Before looking at the ground and filling her mouth with a normal blob of ink before shooting it at the ground. Not hesitating, she focused back on the ink stain near the trees that Toso-kun had painted before jumping through, her body being absorbed into the ink.
It was only a moment after she dove into her recent ink stain was Ara birthed from the one that the two Hojos had created. Landing on her feet as she smiled up at Toso-kun, her thoughts were immediately on Ori-chan and whether or not she could make it out of the situation alive. "I-If Ori-chan gets caught, we'll save her, r-right? Ah-Ikaaaaah?..." The younger squid turned to ask Toso-kun with a worried expression and tone.

♥ Liori sighed to herself as her hope for some kind of confirmation on the radio was met with nothing but silence and static. She waved her hand at her side to try to cool the blistered skin before lifting her hands in front of her and began weaving a set of hand seals. "Well it doesn't look like I was followed..." She thought to herself as her eyes continued to peer through the lines of trees. Her milky white chakra wrapped her skin as the jutsu was finished, her body quickly sinking into the soil below. It was a welcome feeling to be embraced by the earth, wrapped in its protective grasp, and its feel touch on her burning skin. 'No time to relax, don't need the pair leaving without me. Or worse, trying to extract me themselves.' She thought to herself, as she began swimming through the soil back towards their agreed meeting point. The trip was uneventful, just her eyes peering uptowards the surface of the ground to make sure she was still on route, and her holding her breath with the occasionally poking her head out to get more air. It was worth the strained lungs once she saw that the squidling was safe and sound... Toso being fine was nice too she guessed. She reached her bruised knuckles out of the ground and gripped onto the surface of the soil, hoisting her body out of the ground while cradling her burnt arm. "********. Remind me to let my clay harden next time I want to sucker punch a tree for a distraction." She said with a hardy chuckle, sprawling out on the ground for a few moments, "Alright alright I'm ready. Let's blow this popsicle stand." Standing up she cracked her back before making her way past the two in the direction of the port town. She didn't want to wait and listen to the squidlings reactions to full battered appearance. It was bad enough she had been watching her like a hawk since her headache spike back in town. Holding her arm against her chest gingerly she kept her eyes on the ground. Unless she was asked, she wasn't going to make any move to reform her scouting bird.
