Kaya raised an eyebrow at the reactions of Akigo and her fellow chuunin in a display of emotion which could easily equal a fit of giggles for the young Uchiha. She hadn't expected the bark of laughter from their jounin but was almost thrown back herself by the Inuzuka's supposed compliment. "You could take a lesson in manners from your dog, Kegawa," she noted flatly in response with an intent of good humour hidden well within her dry tone. It was more than a little amusing for Kaya how the pup continued to act as his master's conscience.<br/><br/>After the Uchiha shifted onto the bench which her jounin had picked to perch, she simply took her chopsticks in hand and idly stirred the meal which sat upon her lap. Thoughts of the mission swiftly flooded back as Katashi and Akigo spoke of food and death in an odd combination of topics. "You two are going to jinx us," she finally interjected light-heartedly, "with all your talk of death." Kaya was only half-joking as she did seek to change the current topic. They'd have plenty of time to talk of missions and killing on the road.<br/><br/>Having grown bored of the swirling pool of ramen in her bowl, Kaya placed her bowl and chopsticks neatly down beside her before turning to her team mates. Her features remained expressionless as she suggested, "Since we're going to be working together why not have a test of our abilities in a game of sorts? It could be fun and it'd serve to give each of us a better idea of how to operate during the mission." She looked to each of the chuunin with interest as she gauged their response to her idea before continuing, "We could even throw in a bet... to spice things up."<br/>
