[hr]
As mild-mannered as he often was, Burai was nothing if not a prankster, and seing the Hyuuga girl's chakra writhe with hurt was entriely too satisfying for him to comfortably admit. [i][color=silver]'Serves her right,'[/color][/i] he thought, his face twisting into something between a smirk and a frown. The girl was entirely too big for her boots, and, frankly, he'd been meaning to knock her down a few pegs since she'd first looked down her nose at him. A twist of laughter made its way onto his face, and he cast his gaze to Shiori directly.

The girl was... far from what he had expected. Equal parts malign and puckish, he found himself drawn to her somehow. Perhaps it was curiosity? Or perhaps simply caution... Either way, he gave her a firm nod, returning her handshake warmly.

[color=silver]"In that case, Shiori-san, let us hope that day comes sooner rather than later."[/color] A moment later, he addressed the Hyuuga girl, although his head never moved. [color=silver]"I'm afraid the same does not extend to you, Hyuuga. Perhaps, one should think twice before casting judgements, hm?"[/color] Against his better instinvt, he smirked. Let no one say that Burai Kasei was a wimp!

He would deny, until his dying breath, that he had jumped when Kenshiro announced himself.

He would vehemently deny having forgotten to tag the boy.

He wheeled around, (most assuredly not) startled, and choked out a sputtering laugh.

[color=silver]"Ah! Kenshiro-san! I didn't see you there!"[/color] Sensing an opportunity to gather his dignity, he coughed, pointing to his headband, and mustered a chuckle. [color=silver]"For obvious reasons, of course! Myself and Shiori-san were just discussing you"[/color] He held out his hand, smiling. [color=silver]"It's a pleasure to work with you![/color]
