The girl listened as the teacher called the students down, congratulating them on graduating and she passively followed after the initial swarm of students eager to get their headbands and show off their skills and talk to the other students. Shizuka hadn't often spoken to other students here, only really saying anything to those she must for certain training sessions and to answer questions directly asked of her. The girl stepped forward, passing other students already milling about to take her headband from the woman who had spent her time teaching them. [color=bc8dbf]"Thank you. You have assisted in teaching me valuable lessons I could not have learned in the compound."[/color] She said to the woman with a slight bow and stepped away again, tying the black-purple band around her left thigh before standing and looking around again. Her pale purple eyes flowed around the room, finding a few that she had always thought were interesting to watch though they settled quietly on a pair not too far away that stood talking to each other, one seemingly uncomfortable.

She was alone in a crowd of people, few bothering to glance her way and non trying ti initiate conversation with her either though with a deep breath she stepped forward again and walked toward Mitsuhide and Sadao as they spoke together. She had interacted with them a few times, though the Hakate had always been interesting to watch fight and the one she would prefer to speak with or be on the same team as.

She didn't stand close enough as to suggest friendship or familiarity, but not so far away as to not be able to converse with the two males.
