Hotaru gave Shin a gentle pat on the back once he'd entered the shop, not wanting to scare him. "We don't bite, you know. Sorry if I scared you before with that whole greeting thing. I get a little too excited for my own good sometimes." she apologized with a smile, noticing that he seemed rather shy and quiet. Rin let out a faint, barely audible chuckle at her words. "Sometimes." he muttered, almost under his breath, to which Hotaru pouted and flicked him on the head for. "That wasn't very nice." she replied. He shrugged. He spoke the truth, not to be nice. She knew this, and it didn't really bother her, but she wouldn't just let him get away with saying things like that, either. This kind of thing was what they did. It may seem odd to anyone else, but it happened more often than you might expect. He was kind of like a big brother who liked to jokingly mess with his younger sister. These were some of the few times he deigned to speak when it wasn't strictly necessary.<br/><br/>"Alright, then. It's nice to meet you, Shin." she replied with a friendly smile, her voice matching her smile in that it had a happy, friendly tone to it. Moments later someone appeared behind Shin, laughing as he did. A man with a tail, and ears. Interesting. He must be the guy from anbu, the one who would be shadowing them. Sure enough, once he introduced himself, he confirmed what she thought. Hotaru quirked a brow at his comments and rolled her eyes a little. "Yeah, forgetting you're here sounds like a great recommendation. Should be easy enough." she smiled innocently, obviously not scared of him in the least. Certainly not enough to negate her tendency to speak her mind regardless.<br/><br/>"By the way, pretty sure Shin isn't comfortable with your arm being there. Or being called 'Shinny-kins'. I mean, really? That's the best you could come up with?" She quirked a brow, a hint of a smile on her lips as she moved to remove his arm from Shin's shoulder. "You really shouldn't make a habit of touching people without their permission." she added with the same smile as she moved between the two of them. "Pleasure to meet you, Genji." She added, tilting her head and smiling once more, ignoring the lack of distance between them. She wasn't trying to provoke him, she simply didn't enjoy seeing people make others uncomfortable, and she enjoying playing around a bit.<br/><br/>Rin pretty much ignored the exchange happening around him. He didn't say a word or even really acknowledge the presence of the Anbu ROOT shadow, who had now made his appearance. He was aware of everything going on, but he had little interest in joining in. He wasn't exactly the most social person, and the current exchange didn't pique his interest enough to make him break his silence, or pay it any mind at all. If things got heated, or Hotaru got herself into trouble with her playfulness, then he may intervene, but only then.<br/><br/>For now, he'd let her do her thing. She was outgoing and playful by nature, she liked playful banter and joking around. She even had a bit of a teasing manner to her at times. He hoped that it wouldn't get her into trouble this time. Partially because if it did, he'd have to intervene, and he really didn't want to. He was content to eat his ramen in peace and then get this mission over with. That was what he truly desired. Whether or not that desire would come to fruition was still up in the air.
