Saketsui was in no rush to get things done. His own Jounin had been entitled to getting things finished with as quick as possible for the smoothest progression, but Saketsui did not have that inclination nor did he have any sort of responsibilities here -- aside from the fact that he owed these two and Seijo some sewer plans. To kill the Jounin may have been a side mission that they'd do if it hit them in the face, but Saketsui wanted to do it for the sake of saying that he did. Fighting countless Shinobi while fending off a confederate Jounin sounds like something heroic. All the more a reason. While he didn't blare his own desires out loud, they showed with good clarity in his face. Expression after another, his very face twisted time and time again to show his thrill. He witnessed Katsuko go, and with both hands on his swords, prepped himself pretty well to get off the landscape and into the rooftop. But he came to a sudden halt when Katsuko signaled him.
The sign was distinct. For a good while, the message Katsuko tried to convey was ambiguous for the most part, but when he persistently kept at it, Saketsui's subconscious picked it up, and from there, his entire body was similar to a receptor in the way it came to a stop. He pulled back and begun to decipher -- one part of the message after another. He broke it down in his head and, after a good minute or two, understood the intricacy of what Katsuko was trying to tell them. The short of it was, "Traps." he turns his head to Mikoto and addresses him. To find out what exactly Katsuko wanted them to do already stole a bit of their already short allotted time, and that meant that Saketsui and Mikoto had to be quicker than they initially aimed to.
His voice lowers down to half a whisper. He doesn't want any confederates to overhear their presence, because then the whole plan would fall over itself. Of course, the plan was already threatened by the way things were panning through, and the plan relative to their rendezvous at the top of the corresponding roof fell short due to a few complications. That, coupled with the fact that if they're unfortunately discovered, the opposing Jounin -- and the confederates for that matter -- would have a head start in a fight that could lead to the perish of Saketsui, Mikoto, and even Katsuko if they're unlucky. That's why, the smoother the whole idea of getting the sewer plans and more than that, the easier it will be for them to retreat if things go sour. Of course, stealth so early on may sound pointless if they are going to attack the Jounin irregardless of their circumstance, but to have a surprise hit on her could potentially put them much farther ahead, in terms of both firepower and generalized experience. The way Saketsui looks at Mikoto shows just how much he's willing to get done, and the way he speaks to him just owes to his reliability when it comes to pressurized contingencies.
"The roof has traps, so we're going to have to take the window in. There's a good chance of discovery once we're inside, too, so just watch out. Once we're in, we can't go back."
That last bit was mostly in regard to his self-esteem. He didn't want to lose focus. Not now, not during the fight, and not anytime after. He wanted to stay here, his head up, concentrated. So after he tells Mikoto exactly what was going to happen from what he understood, Saketsui immediately takes forwards with a burst of speed. He doesn't look back to check if Mikoto moved too, because he's worried about himself. He does not draw his swords just yet, but he keeps his hands at his waistline should there be something he needs to endeavor for. The windows are nearer to them than he actually thought -- it might just be nervousness that gave him the wrong image -- so he walks up, pulls it open and jumps in, as silent as he possibly can. He sets a trap off, but he's hoping that with this angle he's surprisingly gotten himself into. Him, the soon to follow Mikoto, and Katsuko now had several directions they could approach from, which virtually created numerous other opportunities.
What his eyes perceive next are the sewer plans. That's what he's going for, and that's what he's hoping he can reach unstopped.
