Ryuu nods when Hikari mentioned that they should stop for a short while, to take a break before going onward with their mission, as their pace slowed when they got closer to their destination. They then stop completely, about half a mile or so from the village they were to infiltrate and drop to the ground below the tree tops. Moving over to the base of a tree, Ryuu was panting slightly from the exertion of the traveling, as they'd moved rather quickly, but that made Ryuu ready, clarity came to him much easier this way. He sits down on the ground across from her, leaning his elbows on his knees, a satisfied and happy expression on his face, his eyes alight with excitement for what was to come.<br/><br/>He was surprised when she offered him a box of food, which he accepts. "Thank you." He smiled at her, opening the box, seeing how tasty it looked his mouth began to water almost immediately. Taking a bite, he sighs, a faint blush forming on his cheeks from the good food. "Wow, this is great!" He says, looking up to Hikari, giving her a big grin. It seemed that his insecurities had all melted away, and now his true self began starting to shine through.<br/><br/>Eating more, he listened when Hikari spoke up, talking about the mission. He nods when it was the right moment to as she spoke, taking in the information she was speaking of, tucking it away in his mind. "I'm alright with splitting up, I think it would be easier to do that way. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He gives her a thumbs up. Indeed he would be fine, he was the top of his class, and his team was promoted to Chuunin the first time they took the exams, with him, of course, taking the highest score.<br/><br/>He reaches into one of his pouches and pulls out a small charm like object, that had an etching on one side, and the Uchiha symbol on the other. "Here, take this." He holds it out to her and places it in her palm. "Think of it as a...special good luck charm." He smiles at her. He hoped she would keep it, as he'd made it especially for her. He had a matching one that was on a thin rope bracelet he was wearing, covered by the gloves he was wearing at the moment. "We should probably wait until it grows a bit more dark before we head in, what do you think?"
