Benihime was content to trail behind her son, mostly because she realized that he would likely just lead her where she wanted to go, even if she didn't ask him directly. And soon enough her thought pattern was rewarded with a vision of a woman she hadn't seen in about two decades. There was a rather sudden amount of distaste in the Kazekage. Still her son pointing and speaking, had brought up the attention of the woman in the courtyard. "Hime-chan?!" the woman suddenly seemed excited and rather relieved to see her eldest daughter. Then immediately after she seemed confused about the presence of the white haired child, with the Sand Village Headband around his waist. "Why do are you being accompanied by a child ninja and more importantly where's your other half?" the older woman asked.
Benihime instead of answering any of those questions approached the woman and sat across from her but not without spinning her chair around so she could be comfortable. "Oh? Hi, Tsubaki, haven't seen ya' in a decade or more, definitely the first set of questions you should ask." the woman said seemingly cross. Which only caused her mother to look at her strangely. The voice of her daughter saying her name with so much contempt was nothing new to her, still it seemed to irk the woman. "I'm your mother you shouldn't call me that." she said seeming to ignore the rest of what was said. "And I'm your daughter, and I've told you repeatedly, I don't like when you call me that." the two women sat across from each other, locked in a bit of a stare. "Fine, have it your way, Benihime." she said crossing her arms over her chest. Having won her argument Benihime leaned against the front of her chair and sighed. "Hai, Okaa-san." the woman said. There was still the matter of the woman's questions, which the small redhead would answer in order. "I am being accompanied by this child ninja, because I am not allowed to leave the Village without a Jounin Level guard. Katsuhara Hakudoshi is his name." she mentioned which lead to the woman looking at the small child and thinking that it was a bit odd to see a white haired child in the sea of red which was this place, but there were worse things than being required to have a guard. Whatever her daughter had gotten into, she was only lead to wonder why she even needed a guard in the first place. "My other half, is dead. Sumimasen. I had to kill him... he went crazy and killed Otou-sama, among other things. Which...probably makes that news worse. Sorry." Her mother then managed to look both confused and shocked, while feeling both of those things in earnest and Benihime could tell.
