Risuki might have felt bored of the rather silent return to the village they engaged in, but if she was, she didn't show it too plainly, as she stayed mostly to herself, thinking back on the progress of the mission and considering what she might have done better. After all, Yosen had stated that she showed potential, but he hadn't said she had been perfect in her execution of the mission. Perhaps she had been too rough with the kids once she recognized they weren't combatants, but she knows that one of the fastest ways to get short-term compliance is with fear, and fear of pain is an effective motivator. Granted, fear wasn't going to get compliance in the long run, but this mission had been a short one, and she'd been on the receiving end of more than a few boots or knuckles when she'd been a part of her own clan's nomadic herd.
She figures she'd have to check the full mission report, after she reaches the village as well. Risuki is actually a bit surprised when Yosen stops some distance from Sunagakure himself in order to bid her farewell and then disappear into the darkness of night. She blinks in surprise as he seems to be swallowed by the shadows of night, but then he was a higher ranking shinobi than she was, so perhaps she should have expected him to be able to take on such a stealthy disappearing act so easily. Still, it did send a shiver up her spine at how he was able to do such a thing, though she wasn't sure why. She'd have to ask him how he does that sometime, but for now, she focused on the final few meters to enter the village herself, letting the gate guards know she was returning from a mission in the mountainous area, showing the mission permit to them as well as her identification. It was an easy enough mission to turn in, though now she had a few questions that were unrelated to the mission itself, and nobody to really ask for explanations from.
She shakes her head to herself on her way back home.
