Shouken didn't snap to the girl, or retaliate in an argumental fashion, he simply turned to the girl and let out his signature small grin and chuckle.

[color=mediumslateblue]"Rin-Chan, you bash what you don't know. This is the way of life for the Suna people and has been for many years."[/color]

He sipped from his mug of coffee he had prepared before they all settled down. 

[color=mediumslateblue]"And if we're being honest, I'd prefer this more simplistic lifestyle rather than that of the more modernized Leaf.."[/color]

He wasn't fully supportive with his opinion as it was more a remark towards the Reikan. He knew his defiance of her opinion would drive her mad and he could sense it ever since he first stated his case. He thought Rin was looking for him to fire back, but Shouken remained calm and didn't give her the satisfactory. He also figured he'd pass some time, unknowing of how long they would be together like this. 

Shouken noticed Akio's distress and halted his plan to toy with the girl any longer. He worriedly made his way next to the Kunoichi observing the reports and began to examine them. Raising his right curled index finger, putting it over his lips, he muttered. 

[color=mediumslateblue]"I dont know this symbol Akio-Chan, however by your expressions I'm sure you recognize it. Mind explaining this?"[/color]

With the girl still somewhat in shock, Shouken eyed Aoi figuring if anyone else knew, it was sure to be Aoi-Chan.
