Hikari was grateful that he actually accepted her suggestion. She wasn't sure if he actually liked the suggestion or if he was simply going with it because he had no better ideas. She supposed it didn't matter, and anyways, she was glad he went with it, as she had come up empty when trying to come up with other ideas. There were a lot of things to do, she was sure, but it had been so long since she'd actually gone out and hung out with friends that she actually had a hard time thinking of ideas for what they could do. At least she had come up with something. There were plenty of things they could do there. Swim, train, talk, the possibilities were almost endless. That was good, since she didn't really know what exactly he might prefer to do, or if he really cared.<br/><br/>She smiled sweetly in response to his small smile when he agreed to go before she stood up, handing the empty cup to him and following him when he gestured for her to do so, leaving the room behind. She noticed the seal on the door and found it a little curious, but she didn't question it. She supposed it wasn't that strange. A lot of the doors in many of the houses here didn't have locks, so if you wanted the door locked for whatever reason, such as if you were a very private person, then a seal may be the only real way. Oh well. Whatever the reason, it wasn't her concern. She just added it to the slowly growing puzzle in her mind, along with the fact that he didn't say a word to anyone before he left. Though, Ryuu had been the only one she'd even seen, so she wasn't sure if he simply didn't feel the need to tell his little brother his intentions, or if he didn't bother to tell anyone in general. But again, it wasn't her business.<br/><br/>She was quiet at first as they left the house, looking around as they exited and were greeted by the warmth of the sun and a cool breeze. It was perfection, in her mind, and it brightened her smile even more. She was happy, for once. Not just content. Actually happy. Huh. It was odd. She couldn't argue with it. It was nice to be happy. But was it really okay? To be so happy because of one person? To open up again? She looked up at the sky, watching the clouds and the birds as her mind wandered, rather than watching the road ahead. Of course, she knew where she was going, so she wouldn't trip or any such nonsense, but her eyes were focused on the sky above, save the occasional side-long glance at Kuro.<br/><br/>Even without looking directly at him she noticed the nervousness he exhibited, the clenching and unclenching of his fingers, drumming his fingers on his hips, biting his lip, and the way he occasionally glanced her way just as she occasionally glanced his way. Truthfully, she was nervous, too. But the strange happiness she felt had mostly overridden that feeling, so rather than appearing overly nervous, she simply seemed happy. In reality, it merely masked the nervousness below, coming from the girl who had spent years pushing everyone away, who had forgotten how to handle these situations, who wanted to squirm or run or crawl out of her skin, or perhaps all of the above. Yet she didn't appear nervous, aside from the movement of her fingers, which drummed against her leg.<br/><br/>She almost wanted to reach out and take his hand, to calm him, steady him, to show him that he didn't need to be afraid or nervous, that she had no intention of hurting him. Her hand moved, as if to reach for his hand without her thinking about it, but it quickly dropped back to her side, clenching and unclenching a few times before she forced herself to stop. How could she ever hope to calm him, to ease his worries or his nervousness if she couldn't do the same for herself?<br/><br/>She looked from the sky to him when he cleared his throat before speaking. To say that she was surprised would have been the understatement of the century. She blinked for a moment, not sure how to respond, before she smiled lightly when he put his hands up, shaking them slightly before looking away. "Oh, ummm..." she bit her own lip nervously, staring straight ahead as she spoke. "I live with Kakashi Hatake." she finally answered after a brief moment of hesitation. She didn't hesitate because she didn't want him to know, but because it was unusual and it would lead to more questions. But she supposed that was okay. "I've lived there since I was 6." she went on to explain. "It isn't anything special or anything, but it works." she shrugged a little, blushing slightly before speaking again. "You could come by some time... If you wanted to." she half mumbled the words, rubbing the back of her head nervously as she did.  She didn't bother to explain why she lived with him, because she didn't want to offer a bunch of information he hadn't asked for. But if he did ask, if he wanted to know, she decided that it might be okay to tell him.<br/><br/>She was silent for a long moment, staring at the ground in front of her as she walked, before she finally spoke again. "Well, ummm... I was wondering... You don't usually let people in your room, do you?" She wondered idly. "You seal it to keep people out, right?" she asked before shaking her head. "Sorry. You don't have to answer that if you don't want to." she quickly added, feeling rather stupid for asking something like that right off the bat. He may have given her permission to ask questions, but that didn't mean that he wanted her to ask anything super personal right now. Was that super personal? It wasn't like she planned to dive in deep by asking why he had let her in if he didn't usually let people in. She fidgeted with her fingers and bit her lip unconsciously for a short time, the seconds ticking by painfully slowly and seeming to stretch on forever as she waited for his answer, before she spoke up again. "Do you like to swim?" she wondered. Considering that they were heading to the lake, it seemed a good enough question, and not too personal, if he didn't want to answer the other question.
