Well, that was a perfect opportunity to socialize with those who he'd later be with in an important mission. Partly, Yudai wanted to ask for what reason he was chosen for this task, specifically; he wasn't particularly powerful and managed to be likely the only one who got hurt in the last task. There were still bandages wrapped around his left arm... But he couldn't question Seijo's authority neither her choices. Slowly, he made his way to their table. Take a seat, and if I may ask, which one are you? Are you Nori-sama or Yudai-sama?" This was the first thing Yudai heard upon getting close enough to hear their conversation. He cast Nori a quick glance, his expression showing a bit of surprise. Oh, of course! He had heard it already; Anzai was blind, but still an excellent shinobi. That's why he couldn't differ Nori from Yudai, yet, he'd certainly know that Yudai was approaching, wouldn't he? People in the Red Sages often commented that Anzai was blind but could see better than many men. Yudai's lips twisted upwards into a smile. [color=#f5e9dc]"Anzai-sama, Seijo-sama, Nori-san."[/color] He calmly addressed each of them, bowing his head slightly before taking a step closer to the table. He held a plate and chopsticks in his hands. [color=#f5e9dc]"May I, hmm, join y'all's table? I suppose it'd be good to get to know my teammates."[/color] With that, he just stood awkwardly there, looking between the three. He was unsure if the fact that he addressed Nori was enough to let Anzai know that it was Yudai.

Kaori didn't completely hate Yakoul or wished for it's death, it was just... Thinking back then, it had enough power to stop the red sages but it didn't move a muscle until too late; it allowed for this to happen, just to declare that they were at war. And the attitude it carried, arrogant and superior, was mostly disgusting. Kaori was about to stand up and leave when a known figure planted himself on the empty seat next to her, kicking his feet up on the table and calling her out - naturally, by the clan's name. She turned her head, looking at him with an average expression of nothingness but utter confusion: Until now, she was pretty sure that the Hyuga hated basically everything and everyone, including Kaori and the Uchiha. [color=gray][i]“How'd you like the speech? Must be nice, not having to fight. You were almost dead in that battle, do you know that? You got lucky I was there.”[/i][/color] And now, he was pursuing conversation with her. Strange, but nonetheless, Kaori welcomed him as she'd welcome anyone who wanted to talk. The only thing that bothered her, was his arrogance; what next, he'd ask her to pay 10,000 yen for his life-saving services? [color=ed1c24]"Well, everything was under control, but I was caught into someone's else genjutsu."[/color] She explained herself. Truth be spoken, he was still right and that didn't make things any better. She didn't voice her thoughts about the speech. She was sure Higoho wasn't interested in it too, judging by his expression and manner of speaking, but still found it unnecessary to voice how she utterly despised having to listen to this. Then, he went ahead and invited her to train with the Hyuga, claiming that perhaps they could teach her how to not fall into easy traps. The nerves of this boy! [color=ed1c24]"I'd love to test my skills against,"[/color] A small pause, her smile faltering only but briefly before her eyes lit up, staring intently at him. [color=ed1c24]"You. And by the way, it's Kaori, Hyuga."[/color] She knew his name was Higoho because, well, who hasn't heard about Higoho the bastard? Still, she called him by his clan's name just to return the favor.

What's going on? You know this man? Also ... Do you still have that red dress while we're here?[/color]" The silent shinobi's green eyes lifted up from the ground, staring directly at Arima. The first two questions, she could easily respond to, but the last one made her slightly confused. What was the importance of asking something like that, right now? Naomi decidedly assumed that he was too nervous due to the next mission and thus couldn't think straight. She shifted her weight from a leg to another, moving both hands down to rest each against each of her hips. Then, her mind wandered. Off and away from this mess hall, momentarily, she seemed truly distracted. Naomi's thoughts reminded her of her cousin's words; 'I won't kill anyone'. She still didn't know what mission they were to accomplish, but she couldn't help being worried about her cousin. The many what ifs... what if he let an enemy live, and this same enemy resulted in their failure? See, it was worrying. But she'd just need to watch out and if she needed to, kill whatever Aroshima couldn't. There wasn't an easy way; merciful shinobi wouldn't find mercy for themselves. Then, she began speaking. [color=993366]"Aroshima-kun, well,"[/color] She replied shortly, casting a brief glance in her cousin's way, before looking at Arima again. [color=993366]"He's decided to help us and he's trustable. You have my word."[/color] Not that her word was particularly important, Naomi had been an active member for only two years - it MIGHT look like a lot of time, but it wasn't in reality. Then, she shrugged visibly, raising both of her hands in a questioning manner. [color=993366]"And yes, I do Arima-kun. Why do you ask?"[/color] She had genuine interest in what he'd say.
