Some time before the next announcement, Shien had turned toward the door that Kideme was behind and started to fiddle around with it. As a ninja, it was standard to know how to break into locks because of the need of being stealhty and infiltration. So when he popped the lock and some of the water that she had expunged washed out onto the floor, Shien just blinked and smiled at her. "Hey. Do you have a minute?"

Waiting for her answer, a yes would mean that Shien would step inside and rub the back of his head nervously while looking at the floor then up to Kideme. "I wanted to talk to you for a while. It's nothing too serious. I was just wondering if we could talk about us." He scratched the side of his head near his ear.

"I just--I've kind of been trying to find the way to say this since the chunin exams and a lot of stuff seems to come along that makes it hard for us to talk about it." He rubbed the back of his neck a little painstakingly. "Oh--Did you get someone to watch after the cats?" He would ask before he turned back to the other topic.

"Well I know a lot about you. And you know about me a lot. And I was thinking about if we could talk about something for the future." He looked at her directly and pulled her into a hug. "SOrry. I might be talking a little selfish about this. But I was thinking if I could be you 'Onion Knight' for more than something in name? I don't want to see you in danger and I want to keep you protected. Like--I don't want to see you taken away and getting another curse mark or anything."

He was trying to say something, but it was hard to come out. Finally he let out a frustrated grunt before slipping down to crouch against the ground, his back against the closed door. "Do you think you could see me as something more than a friend?"

He hoped to get some sort of answer out of this, looking to get further in his relationship with Kideme while the party started to kick off outside of the training room.
