Another hook to the face from the same person that gave him one in the chunin exams was a certainly good trigger for someone who was down in a slump. When he was clocked clear across the face and sent to the floor, Shien blinked and held onto his cheek.

He didn't bother interupting Hayato this time and looked at the floor with a the heat welling up in his eyes. He wasn't about to cry because of the punch, but more because of what Hayato had said. "I--" He struggled to find the words before finally looking up at Hayato. "I don't want to hold a grudge at all. I'm sorry Hayato.'  He looked back at the ground, putting his hands together on the floor between his legs.  His feet were together but his knees were apart so that he could sit in the contemplative position.

"I'm just frustrated at so much and upset that I'm not even allowed to be within a hundred feet of any of the village gates because they think I'm a liability. I lost my nerve and--and I'm trying to get it back. But it's hard to try and get back what you lost if you aren't allowed to do anything that could help you get it back. You know what I mean?"

He said all of this before Hayato could leave and as he stood up he called out to him, "Do you want to stay for a while? I could use the conversation. Not many people really want to talk to me at the moment. I'm sorry. Please stay?"
