Ana listened to Ikue's information. The other female's speech patterns, admittedly, annoyed Ana but she would never express that verbally. She was a good source of info, and funded the gang pretty heavily also, so she couldn't complain even if she wanted to. It was more that Ikue had a flare for the dramatics and Ana was more a straight to the point kind of person. Either way the information about the attacks on first years was disturbing to say the least. Then others started suggesting using the newest member as bait, something Ana wasn't quite comfortable with at this point. She was untested, they didn't know what she was truly capable of, not to mention they had little information. She seemed willing to take it on but Ana wasn't sure. Now was one of the few times she actually spoke up. Her voice much more confident than one would think considering she rarely said anything to most of them. 

[color=0076a3]"I don't like using an untested member of the group as bait. Regardless of her skill, we don't have enough information. For all we know it could be more than one of us could handle on our own. I don't like risking our group's health on a gamble that she can take care of herself."[/color] He violet eyes scanned the group, any one who wasn't brand new knew that Ana cared about everyone here. They may not see eye to eye but they were she closest thing she had to a family. They also knew it wasn't often she spoke out. She was the silent pillar. Always in the background ready to clean up the other's messes. Her attention went to Mai. 

[color=0076a3]"Whereas I appreciate the enthusiasm you don't have to risk getting beaten bloody to prove yourself to the group."[/color] She looked the smaller female in the eyes, before turning back to the group. She saw the determination in her eyes. Ready to prove herself to this group of misfits by any means necessary. [color=0076a3]"IF, we are going to go through with using her as bait, which again, I would rather not risk, we more of a plan then, let the first year fend for herself. Someone needs to be nearby at all times. Far enough to not get noticed, close enough to step in if she needs help. This person can't be Ten-Ton or myself, everyone knows we are with Minato. It needs to be some of the newer members."[/color] With what little information they had keeping someone close was the best option. Obviously the course of action would be determined by the boss, but her opinion had weight and she knew it. All the options needed to be on the table.

She hadn't moved from her spot on the fence as she spoke, and her arms remained crossed in front of her, to some this was the most she had spoken since they joined. Her eyes flashed over the newer members of the group. Who, if any, would volunteer to be the first years back seat baby sitter. It couldn't be a prominent member of the group she knew at least Minato knew this. She supposed they had some time to think about the options. But really how much time did they have?
