He was more than surprised with how well she handled the spicy meal and impressed with how well she could eat. There weren’t a lot of women like that who could keep up with his habits but he knew that if they did, they were strong, both mentally and physically. Well… perhaps just physically seeing as Haruka’s mental state seemed a bit off when she spoke of her plants as if being telepathically linked to them. Ren just smirked and shook his head at the comment, noticing she finished her food as fast as he did. But before he could compliment her on the feat she asked him something interesting, and mildly amusing.

“A good Jounin?”

He couldn’t help but laugh while looking into her worried eyes as she proved far different from the usual Uchiha, once again. He almost bumped his plate off his lap but caught it just in time and set it back by hers while looking back up at her.

“Just for the fact that you worry about whether you’ll do good or not, it shows that you will be a great Jounin.”

After the old man came to collect their plates, Ren sat a little closer to Haruka, resting his arms between his wide legs, as he relaxed and let the food sink. Each of his warm exhales bringing a small fog into the cold morning air.

“Oh. And you might be interested to know we’re meeting our squads within a week.”

He dropped the bombshell as if it wasn’t a very big deal, when actually it was, because it meant that they could be meeting new squad members as soon as today! Ren didn’t seem bothered in the slightest at the prospect. He just smirked and turned his head to look at her most likely worried face.

“But don’t worry about it. I’m sure they wouldn’t let you end up with some small-time vandal.”
