Hideo turned sharply at the voice behind him coming face to face with one of his missing teammates Kadaj.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Hey man, you OK? Find your flower?"</span><br/><br/>Hideo shook his head in a nod, still a little startled and it probably showed on his face considering the other asked him if he was alright.<br/><br/><span style="color: #408080"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Uhh, y-yeah dude I'm fine."</span></span>Hideo hoped the smile plastered on his face would hide his stutter, he didn't want to appear weak in front of the other boy. Besides, it was just a deer, no need to panic he rationalized. The shifter stuffed a hand into his cardigan and brought out the blue flower he found earlier, raising it up to show the Ifrit. Other than a bit bent from being in his pocket it was in good condition.<span style="color: #408080"><span style="font-weight: bold">"There's actually a weird story about this flower, apparently at night it's been known to glow when it-"</span></span><br/><br/>He was interrupted by the sound of footsteps which belonged to his other missing teammate Lola. She seemed to have found her flower which meant they were almost done with the assignment. Actually, Hideo wasn't sure if Kadaj had even found his flower yet, he hadn't thought to ask instead he began to ramble about his own flower which probably didn't seem that interesting to anyone else. Hideo resisted the urge to let out his trademark sigh, he had a habit of rambling when he was nervous. Which was odd considering how he rarely says a word in class.<br/><br/>Suddenly Hideo remembered just who he was with, a water and fire mage who could coincidentally kill each other if provoked. The teenager bit his lip, what kind of idiot teacher would pair these two together and then put a shifter in the mix who could do absolutely nothing to stop them if they got in a fight. The two seemed mild enough at first glance though, Hideo hoped it would stay that way. Either way he put on his best neutral face and turned towards his female teammate.<span style="color: #408080"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Yeah I found mine."</span> </span>He gave the flower in his hand a shake as if to further prove his point before turning towards the other male. He was also curious about whether he had found his plant or not.
