The two rain Genin meet! (Li Dian)

Mission Details:

Coco didn't plan on having much trouble at all with today's order. It was a simple retrieval mission. Apparently an artifact of the Amekage was spotted a while back in this area. It wasn't anything powerful, simply a memento. It'd probably be worth a looking around if nothing else. What made mission truly cake was the fact that they even had a map for her! It'd only be easier if some ninjas from the village decided to carry them on her back as well.

As Coco walked through the Deep mud of the Amegakure swamps, she wondered which she hated more, the Jungle or these swamps. The Jungle had cover from the rain, but it had all the animals. The swamp was more scarce with the giant maneaters, but she always came out of it soaking wet, and feeling gross.
Meh that didn't really matter really, anything outside the city was pretty offending to her.
After a short leisurely walk Coco came to the Banya tree the treasure had been spotted under. Coco spotted the artifact half sticking out from a patch of bog that lay at the roots of the tree. "A guitar?" She gripped the neck of the instrument and began to slowly pull. It would have been embarrassing if the mission she thought was so easy failed because she broke the darn thing. After a little bit of digging Coco managed to pull the soiled instrument out from it's muddy prison. "Mission accomplished, she announced with a smile."

Five strands of baby blue strings flew to the guitar, wrapping around the neck before tugging the thing from Coco's hands. The guitar flew through the air before landing safely in Li Dian's arms. "Sorry for the sneak attack friend, but I'm afraid I have a mission to fulfill." He flashed her a broad, smile. "No hard feelings?"

Coco glared at her opponent. He was tall, and overly skinny. She didn't know what jutsu he'd used to get the guitar out of her hands, but she could tell in a straight up fight she'd have the edge. "I'll show you no had feelings!" Uh oh now he'd done it. She skipped her usual cordiality to strangers, and just went straight to her normal Irate self. "You've got three seconds to return that, or you're going to be losing some fingers!" She brought out a shuriken from the folds of her clothing. It began to glow a blueish tint.

"Woah woah woah!"  Li Dian back stepped. "I didn't mean any disrespect. I was simply assigned to come and pick this artifact up! I'm sure if you come with me to the mission office we can work a finders fee for you." The woman didn't look impressed, but she did look scary. Not the kind of girl Li would like to mess with, especially with that blue shuriken. "Perhaps we say we did it as a team, That way we both get the reward. It's win win. Cool?" Li prayed she didn't notice the bead of sweat rolling down his brow. He didn't even buy any weapons before his first mission! What a blunder.

With a reluctant sigh Coco put down her weapon. She didn't like it, but he wore the symbol of the rain village upon him. There weren't enough of them around to start making enemies. "Alright fine, we're a team then, for the moment."
