[It may not matter to her, but it certainly matters to Nihuang! She's already making a mental note to pitch their tents higher in the future to accommodate more members of their odd, diverse unit. Konoha's deference, on the other hand, does not register very highly; when Nihuang crosses closer to lift her out of her bow (as much as possible, anyway), it's a familiar gesture at an unfamiliar angle. The question of payment is also... not... on her mind.]

We welcome your assistance, of course, Konoha.

[Nihuang's expression is kind but distant as she steps into a role she does not technically hold here. Leans into it really, in an effort not to be rude.]

It sounds like your expertise will be useful in constructing our staging platform, but we can also use strong arms in renovating the grounds directly... [They're digging a fancy ditch.] --when it isn't raining so hard.
