He still kept his stubborn pose, but turned his attention back towards their Jounin when she spoke. The Chuunin listened carefully as she spoke, maintaining his composure at her criticism.

Making an idle boast about the exams first and then telling everyone about the incident in the bathhouse. He'd have a lot of explaining to... He turned to his side, looking uneasily at Tara with a weak laugh.
