Izumo had always liked the little quiet Hyuuga heir, even if they'd never talked much at all. Once or twice. But she was sweet and kind and that was hard in a ninja, very hard. So when he saw her, on his way back from sparring with Kotetsu, he stopped and called out, offering a little wave. He guessed it didn't matter if she was actually facing his direction or not, she might still see the gesture anyway.

"Morning, Hinata-sama. Back in the village now?" She'd been out on a mission recently, he was sure.

He rocked back on his heels, offering a little friendly smile, even if it was a bit nervous. He didn't talk much with most of the clanners.
