As the water started boiling Riako put some of the leaves in to the water, she would ad the others when the water would be fully heated up, this would make the tea a bit stronger, but she prefered her tea like that it helped her calming down and to gather her thoughts.

Pein nodded before going back to what he was doing. He finished cooking and sighed. The smell of shrimp and chicken filled the air in the kitchen. "I hope you like chicken and shrimp." He said as he took some of the good smelling food. His thoughts were about missions for everyone as he ate silently. "How is your job as the medic going? Do you need to talk about anything?"

"Hai." Riako replied as she put some food on her plate and placed in on the table before walking back to the counter and filling two muggs with tea and placed them also on the table before sitting down opposite to Pain.

"My work as medic goes pretty good, beside the missions I have more work with the members after they missions and as already said Itachi's diseas is slowly improving, but I could work on that problem better with the help of a certain plant, the only problem is that it only grows in deserts and is not easy to find." she said before taking a sip from her tea. "As for other things I will need to go later out today to get some more medical herbs for some medicines and salves." she said.

Pein watched as Raiko filled her plate and two mugs with tea. He looked at her before he took one, smiling. "I shall relieve you of this mug." He said before he took a drink. He ate and loked up at her constantly, listening intently. "So you need an important herb that can only be found in the desert and you also need some more herbs for your medicines. Alright, I think that can be accomplished. I shall accompany you to the desert, the more protection but within smaller [SPAM] is always neccessary. As for the herbs I completely allow you to go out whenever you wish to collect herbs."

"Arigatou Leader-sama, I will have everything prepeared till tomorrow to find the plant my grandmother ha left me enough notices to find the herd." she said with a greatful smile on her lips before she continued eating.

Pein nodded before he continued eating. "It is importaint to trust the medic of your group. I trust you fully and I shall help you however I am able. " He said as he looked up at her once again. "We shall leave before the sun rises."

"Hai, and I can confirm you that I will not fail you or Akatsuki." Riako replied with a little nod of her head. She would go getting the herbs before starting to pack the things she needed and research her grandmother's notices to where to find the herb.
