While Ryoma was surely grateful for Misaki dispatching of the trap for him he felt that it was a bit unnecessary, he was more than capable of doing so himself and had adequate time to do so. He knew Kurono wasn't in the business of killing her students and while there was the threat of the explosion it was nothing with the complete intension of murdering the duo. To show his dissatisfaction with the ordeal he would rub his fingers for a moment while looking at Misaki who was showing relief from her sighing that the danger was averted. He was thinking of making a sarcastic retort to her along the lines of 'yeah luckily' however he thought better of it. She was the only way of him tracking Kurono at the moment and frustrating his rookie teammate would most likely prove to be the undoing of the current operation. She wasn't used to his snarky and arrogant ways and wanted to avoid setting her off for the time being.
He was about to ask Misaki which way at this point because he was out of options. They had received a dummy scroll and were still empty handed, time was not on their side. He too heard the rustling and was ready to move independently of Misaki at this point, he was much faster than her and if he got Kurono in his sights she wouldn't be able to shake him. However she was his sensei and liked to work ahead of him because she knew his tendencies. In the past his teammates were useless and he often worked independently of them, with Kurono knowing this he assumed she had a clone either waiting to lure him away from Misaki with a decoy to allow herself to incapacitate the young girl and thus leave Ryoma without a means of tracking her down. He didn't want to fail but was increasingly frustrated by the pace they were going. At this rate Kurono would be able to stall things out.
As they began to follow the sounds Ryoma would reach into his shuriken pouch for four shuriken. He would space out the timing between throwing them into the treetops where he assumed Kurono was. Two were thrown immediately and in front of where he assumed she was. The latter two would be thrown shortly thereafter again in an attempt to draw her into his line of sight. He wasn't sure just how to get her to stop running and he thought some words might do the trick. While it was a shot in the dark at best he knew this tactic would work if it were him on the other side. As he yelled out in an attempt to draw her out his voice was convincing even though he didn't believe it would work.
"C'mon Kurono-Sensei, running from your students? You know I don't bite..much"
