A compliment? Erroneous as it was, the girl was awfully generous in allowing that commentary to slip by unscathed. Thankfully, it appeared that the bond between these two particular Hyuga wasn't very strong. The last time Zay had shown the slightest amount of disrespect for a fellow shinobi, he'd incited a verbal riot of sorts. Ah well, given enough time, Setsuko would come to hate him as well. The cycle of hatred was eager to spin on for eternity. Before he could suggest immediate evacuation, Tatsuya approached the two of them, further enforcing the [i]fearful presence[/i] of the dreaded cat demon from wherever-the-fuck. Setsuko cut to the chase before Zay could speak, suggesting they move immediately. Zay's eyes rolled up and away from the two shinobi as he sighed in response to Setsuko's unnecessary commentary. Suddenly his lingering respect for the Hyuga girl faltered, and with it, so did his stability. Not at the fault of the girl, it as Katsuko's doing this time around. The ground shook violently, slightly upsetting Zay's posture as the sandals tied around his neck swung from side to side. Zay glanced at Setsuko and Tatsuya as the two collided for a brief moment, leveling himself once the quake came to a stop. He loosened his stance as Setsuko composed herself once again, huffing a short, heavy breath of air before nodding at the two shinobi irritably. He'd stuck around long enough to make sure there was little reason for his presence, it was time to hit the road. There'd be more Hyuga to converse with in the future, anyways. Preferably during a time of rest... And without anyone like Higoho in sight. [color=a187be]"I'll be removing myself from this dreadful equation immediately, then,"[/color] Zay croaked, slowly swaying his body away from the other two shinobi, and towards the center of the now devastated harvest festival. Part of him hoped that the other two shinobi decided to follow him, but he wouldn't care either way. [i][color=a187be]There be an undisturbed patch of grass somewhere on the grounds... Hopefully somewhere secluded... And quiet.[/color][/i]
