[color=ed1c24]"Hey, are you okay?" [/color]

Other than getting man-handled, he was doing great. Really. Tanji couldn't blame the Hyuga, a man's identity is sacred along with his honor, and yeah, some might say it was 'a dick move,' Tanji of all people knows how important family is, and gallivanting as a false kinsman to the Hyuga clan must surely be a heinous crime.

[color=f7941d]"I'm fine,"[/color] he wheezed,[color=f7941d] "Boy, those Great Clans sure make some exceptional Shinobi don't they," [/color]he smiled, clutching his side in slight pain. [color=f7941d]"But, I guess you don't need me to tell you that, Miss Uchiha."[/color] Tanji had read through many files of Confederate Shinobi that were available in the Intelligence Corps. archives, it was his job to stay informed of course, but he always enjoyed reading up on the files of great houses, in a way it filled a void in him. He was a bit of a fanboy to say the least; the Naras, Akimichis, Uzumakis, and of course the Uchihas and Hyugas. 

He tried to make polite small talk as they went along the stairs,[color=f7941d] "Yup, you guys are great. A noble, storied line, full of exceptional ninjas. Why, I only have my dumb brother,"[/color] he gave a pleasant laugh, "Name's Tanji by the way," not noticing that the topic he touched on might not be the best topic for his conversation partner, he just continued walking with a dumb smile, thinking how cool it would be to ask for their autographs, maybe the Commanders will give theres too. Or would that be too much. Nah, they're probably cool about it. Right?
