keepitcanineAll right!
Listen up and listen good, you sick freaks! I don't know what kind of stupid joke you bastards are trying to pull, but it ends here, right now!
[For those nearby, in the forest Kiba and Hinata have found themselves in, they might be able to hear or even witness the heated broadcast first-hand. Otherwise, their voices and an occasional camera snapshot is going to be all available to the casual or curious listener. Even so, the journal's camera might be just useful enough to capture the current moment: Hinata, who is just behind Kiba, has a worried look on her face in contrast to Kiba's absolutely livid one. When Hinata starts to talk, her voice is soft and incomparable to Kiba's challenging tone.] Um, Kiba-kun…?
[If Kiba heard her, he shows no indication of it, his voice a frustrated snarl.] Where is he?! Where. Is. Akamaru?
Kiba-kun?
[Kiba voice lowers, though it loses little of its emotional edge.] If you people have hurt him, I’ll—I’ll—
Kiba-kun, please. [This time, Hinata's voice is louder than her first few attempts. She even puts a gentle hand on his shoulder to get his attention, if not to calm the angry ninja. Kiba stops, and the journals might detect a brief pause as Kiba turns his head to regard her, his voice softening, though it's still sharp and brittle.]
What?
[She's startled to silence for a beat or two before she composes herself and gives that shoulder a very soft squeeze of reassurance.] I just think you- you should calm down for a while... Akamaru-kun shouldn't be too far and I think we can find him if we look hard enough. Would you mind if I- if I address the citizens of this place instead?
[There's a pause that's soon followed by a rustle of sound as the journal changes hands. The grimace on his face is almost detectable.] All right. Fine. You do it. Doesn't matter to me anyway.
[When Hinata receives his journal, she gives him a small smile of thanks. Unlike Kiba's previous address, Hinata's attempt will be gentle and polite.] To— To anyone who has seen a tall white dog, he belongs to my friend. Please, we'd like to have him back. Whoever took him, Akamaru-kun is part of our team and we will not stand around until we find him. We will also—
[Then Kiba's voice suddenly cuts in from a small distance away.] You tell those bastards that if they've done anything, and I mean anything, to him, I'll make them regret it! I'll find them and shove these stupid, goddamn wings down their throats! Don't think I won't!
[She gives him an understanding smile. He's going through a lot and if she was the one who had someone precious to her taken away, she'd be distressed too. Turning to the journal again, Hinata continues her diplomatic speech with a more determined face that even the camera likely captures.]—not hesitate to perform necessary procedures if we ever discover that he is injured or hurt.
Thank you.
[And the feed snaps off with an audible click. Though those within the forest might still come upon them, perhaps just after their broadcast as they talk on the ground floor, or perhaps sometime later as they jump from tree to tree in rapid, though attentive haste, pausing every little while to rest briefly.]

She doesn't move closer as a result. She folds her hands in front of her, smiling politely at Kiba.]
Forgive me, I'm not interrupting something, am I? I'm just a little lost!
no subject
Do you wish to go back to the village? I- I can help if you don't mind.
no subject
[Working with Hinata is perfectly fine! Azusa gets along with everyone, so she'll finally take a few steps closer.]
no subject
A tree? [His eyes wander around the absolutely tree-dense forest for a few seconds before they reach Hinata, where they stay briefly before returning to their initial spot. He sighs and lifts his chin.]
Look, you're gonna have to be more specific.
[The hell would anyone want with a tree, anyway? It's a tree.]
no subject
[Nami had shown it to her on the map. And, well, it sounded like it was worth a visit, since it would remind her of home and all.
That's why her answer is so cheery. She can handle any 'tude Kiba throws at her for now.]
It should stand out, right?
no subject
Ah, I might be able to locate it. [With these eyes, it's going to be no problem. It's always nice to help, after all. Glancing around with her activated bloodline, Hinata begins her search.
And it really doesn't take long.] I think it's-- it's on the other side of the village. [She points to a certain direction that's opposite from where they stand.] Please take that path and you will not get lost.
no subject
[Those are the only rational explanations, even if she's heard the "other world" situation. She looks where Hinata is pointing...and of course, just sees the way she came. To say she doubts Hinata would be incorrect, though.]
My, my! You're really talented, aren't you? [...she just doesn't know how.]
no subject
She knows what she's talking about. And you said it was the only one, didn't you? Shouldn't be that difficult to find.
The hell are you even looking for a cherry tree, anyway?
no subject
[Azusa looks back at Kiba, bringing a hand to her chin. These two are definitely amusing, in their own way, but now she's wondering if she's interrupting a couple on a picnic or something.]
There are a lot of them where I come from. I thought it would be nice to see one, since I won't be seeing more than that for a while.
