Jinn nodded and turned to Tetsuba, who'd seemed a little shocked that somebody had addressed him by [i]name.[/i] The young boy glanced at Kazuhiko and nodded, while still cleaning specks of dust off of himself. [color=silver]"Call me Zay"[/color] Tetsuba muttered, [color=silver]"I prefer Zay."[/color] He'd liked Kazuhiko from the start. It had more to do with his [i]eyes[/i] than anything else, really, but something about the boy was more respectable than most he'd met, even if they hadn't even exchanged more than [i]ten words.[/i] Jinn turned back to witness her third student rushing over. Zay looked up, far less excited, especially when she started asking questions about his name. [color=silver]"Yeah, foreign,"[/color] Tetsuba barked, answering her question briefly and looking back towards Jinn for guidance. [color=6ecff6]"Forgive his manners,"[/color] Jinn cut in, with a humble nod, [color=6ecff6]"Tetsuba- Ehm, Zay here isn't very social, from what I've been told. But there will be plenty of time to fix that!"[/color] Zay huffed at Jinn's confidence, and looked over his new teammates once again. Kazuhiko seemed more astute than Natsuko. His posture spoke worlds, and the way he observed his surroundings was rather telling. A thinker, was it? Or just another dog to the Hyuga name? Zay didn't care either way, it was a respectable type of composure! Tetsuba couldn't relate. Then again, he didn't have a family reputation to uphold at all, let alone one that mattered nearly as much as the Hyuga's. That [i]girl[/i] on the other hand... [color=6ecff6]"Admittedly, I'm new to this whole, uh... Leader, teacher-type business. I've always been more of a soldier.."[/color] Jinn croaked, unsure in how exactly she was to approach training the children before her. Zay toned it out and focused on Natsuko. She seemed so much more care-free than the other boy in his group. The way she approached them, the look on her face, the way she sounded out his name... It all bugged him, more so than her question had. Tetsuba wondered if anyone here even knew what being a shinobi entailed? Whether they were a loyal prodigy, or a peppy go-getter, the point of all this training remained the same. Zay's eyes drafted away from Natsuko, and he began to look over the crowds. Genin glared at their group, both with jealousy, and pity. [i]Paired with him? Good luck![/i] Zay wasn't fond of what their eyes implied, but shrugged it all off with a hearty yawn. Jinn's eyes darted towards the boy, but she cleared her throat and kept speaking. [color=6ecff6]"That being said, I haven't had much time to prepare a lesson plan, or anything along those lines. So, considering the current uh, [i]Dynamic[/i] that we've been gifted with,"[/color] Jinn paused and glanced at each Genin briefly, [color=6ecff6]"I imagine that getting a little more acquainted with one another would be an excellent start to our morning! But, as much as I love being surrounded by excited young Shinobi, I think it would be wise for us to set a much more reasonable meeting place, for today, and the future."[/color] Jinn smiled and rose one arm, pointing it towards the courtyard's exit and starting her way away from the academy. [color=6ecff6]"We'll have plenty of time to talk as we walk- Ah, incidental rhyme!.. Ahem."[/color] Zay immediately turned away from his teammates and shoved his hands into his pant pockets, lazily trudging after Jinn with his back held unusually straight. Zay had always been the lazy sort, but posture was of utmost importance to him! Especially since he rarely ever wore a shirt in the summer. Nobody needed to stare at a [i]crooked spine[/i], the mere thought embarrassed him more than any tumble through the dirt ever could.
