"Is there something that is worrying you? I'm sure the oracle would not have volunteered herself if she did not know what she was doing" Suna offered her words quite nervously.

Actually, Suna has no idea how to interact with the Oracle's companion. Her crush on the oracle did not make things any easier for her and she might be reading too much into things here but the Oracle and her companion seems to be involved romantically.

Nao calculated the chances of being able to silence Suna if she tried to betray them.
