[That's a big husky!]<br/><br/>Tomo followed Hero back to stand in front of Amaya.  He didn't say anything, just waited for her to speak.  The sooner she told them what their assignment was, they sooner they could complete it, right?  The rose was in his hand, still.  He'd debated discarding it, but that would be insulting to the other Genin and would probably interfere with their efforts to work together.<br/><br/>So instead he studied the bloom while waiting for the leader to speak.  It was real, with a pleasant smell.  He'd seen Hero use plants during their earlier exam together, of course, but he'd thought those were illusions or some kind of elemental recomposition.  But no, comparing his flower and the one on the dog's neck, it was clear that the plants actually grew.  Already, hundreds of applications for such an asset were spinning through Aritomo's mind.
