Yuudai whistled as he tossed a pebble up in the air, watching it arc before catching it in his palm again. There was no deeper philosophy or thought behind the act; the blonde boy was simply bored, and that was all. He had an appointment here in the commercial district, made with an old classmate... And now, his teammate. After they had learned they would be making up a ninja tag team, Yuudai had offered the girl to go grab a coffee with her in the city proper. The agreement was to show up somewhere in the afternoon, but Yuudai had been there since lunch.
Of course, performance anxiety meant that the boy had showed up much earlier than necessary. Better to be early and have to amuse himself in the heart of the Village Hidden in the Sand than be late and face the music for his late appearance. Of course, amusing himself was easier said than done, especially with the limited means of a low-level genin. He had quit his side-job on graduation, meaning he couldn't really go on a wild shopping spree until he actually sacked up, gathered his stuff and his partner, and went out to go do an actual mission.
And before long, Yuudai got distracted by a nearby clock. Soon, the blonde boy found himself in front of the cafe they had decided to meet at. He took a deep breath, pushing that nervousness about meeting her aside. They'd been classmates, but never the best of friends... Working together would be a whole new experience.
