"No, it's fine. In my stay here, I think I already know the forest well even if I don't explore it that much." A little chuckle comes from her end because that should give away how long she has been here. It's both funny and disturbing at the same time.

Her laugh just turned a little boastful once that compliment slips from his mouth. It's true - for how much praise she gets for being beautiful, it's not often she gets praised as much for her competent ninja skills. Oh, she knows Chouji's just saying this because he's her teammate but Ino also knows how sincere he can get so she takes the compliment as it is.

"Oh, really? I can't wait because I know there are a lot of these stories." It proves as a good distraction for someone so full of herself. Hopping onto another branch, she figures it'll take some more time before she arrives. Maybe she took a wrong turn somewhere? So much for knowing these forests.
