Deidara gaped at Tobi, jaw hanging open and broom held frozen in his hands, as his brain tried to process what was just said. "...The Akatsuki have really lowered their standards if they're allowing someone to join them just because she was claustrophobic." He sneered, then, "...Wait, what newer girl?"

"I...see." A corner of his eye twitched. He gave a huff. "Fine, well, since they're all not here right now I'll just have to wait until they come back and ask for details, mn." He huffed again as he swept the large pile of rubble over to the center of the room. Making a few hand seals and a loud Poof!, he created a dog-like clay-figure with a shovel-like mouth. It padded over to the rubble and began eating it. As soon as it cleared away most of the trash, Deidara had it paddle out to the corridor, where he'll detonate it later outside the base when they were done cleaning. Hands on his waist, the bomber stood for a few moments, comtemplating.

"...You know, why should we stay behind anyway? It's just you and me now, we might as well head over to the springs too." Besides, they were both covered in dust and in dire need of a shower anyway. "I have a pretty good idea which spring they went to, we can get there in less than twenty minutes if we fly, mn." He suggested, eying the room with disgust. He could hardly get anything done with the state of his room it was in, anyway.

Deidara had just finished finding a pair of swimming pants that wasn't half-burned when Tobi returned. He turned around and froze. "...Ah, uh, nice pair of...errr, trunks." He managed to say after a few moments of staring at the horror that was Tobi's swimwear. Coughing, he walked out the room and motioned for Tobi to follow, the clay-dog padding in front of him. "Let's get out of here then, mn." He snickered, picturing what everyone's expressions would be when he randomly dropped in on them (literally) at the springs.

"Oi, gimme a moment will ya." Deidara first had the clay dog run off into the woods before making a hand seal.

"Katsu!"

A muffled explosion came from behind the hill where the dog blew up, and a smoke of cloud floated up, much like a miniature nuclear explosion. Deidara grinned happily at the sight, proud of his art display, even if no one likely saw it, and turned back to Tobi. "Right...here we go, mn." A large bird soon appeared, and the bomber hopped onto its head, waiting for the masked man holding (the horror that was) his swimwear.

Hidan eyed the stranger warily when he shifted closer. Give it another meter and he'll be ready to start stabbing someone. His hand closed around the pike in his pocket under the waters, ready to react to any sudden movements. He also shifted slightly over towards Itachi. At least he knew the Uchiha, that was better than a stranger.

"Well if it doesn't matter to ya, then bugger off!"

Deidara sighed, resigning to using some of his clay as ear plugs. He mentally added ear plugs onto his shopping list for the next time he was put on grocery duties. And with that, the giant clay bird took flight, rising into the air and swooping towards the hot springs.

Even with his earplugs and the sound of the roaring wind, he could still hear Tobi's excited comments. "We're almost there, mn!" He called over to Tobi, pointing at the faint rise of steam from the ground in the distance. From where they were in the sky, he could see small pools scattered here and there, a few buildings, and tiny little black dots that were people, lounging within the waters. "Best put on your swimwear now," He commented, feeling a grin on his face as he put on his (not that anyone would see them all the way up in the sky with a giant bird below them anyway), "'cuz I'm gonna to drop us all down there and then watch some fireworks, mn!"

Deidara looked down again, aiming for the best spot in one of the largest pools below, "Right....." Abruptly, he shoved Tobi off the bird, jumping off after the masked man. Twisting his body around in mid-fall, he made the familiar hand seal.

"Katsu!"

"........there!" He finished his earlier sentence gleefully, pointing up as the bird exploded, sending sparks and spinning lights of all colors in every direction. "Fireworks, see?" He shouted, an insane grin on his face as he watched, even as he fell.

((I have no idea. :gonk: Maybe we need a time skip or something to get things going? :sweat:))

Had he been a more 'normal' person, he'd probably say that the two were flirting at each other. However, as he was not, Hidan simply shrugged, looking nonplussed at the two. "I have no f-...lying idea." He said, just barely catching himself. "...Wanna go get a hotdog or something? I'm starving." He suddenly said, looking over to the food stand located in the corner of the springs reserve. His body could use the protein to finish healing up that hole in his chest, as well.

Deidara laughed at the muttering about how he was being cliche. "Yeah, well, this is an awesome swimming trunks that I've got, mn." He jutted his hips forward to emphasize his point. His swimwear was black and decorated with patterns that looked like they were fireworks in various colors. "I couldn't find one with explosions on them, but this'll do. Fireworks are a kind of explosive art anyway, mn."
