Oh look, there were tables and chairs over here too, away from all the informational stuff. Enjoy the food!

"Oh."

Cassandra considered what she could see in Hinata's posture for a moment. "Want to get some food?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

I want to go home.

Hinata tried another smile, it came a little easier. "Is there anything you'd suggest?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra grinned suddenly. "The brownies are good."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"That's," she said quietly, "a good place to start, I guess?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

That drew a vigorous nod of agreement. "If we're sneaky then we can probably get some without having to talk to anyone, if you want."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

Hinata looked down. "I... Father would want me to talk to people," she said slowly, and it was clear that she'd much rather not.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

With a grin Cassandra shrugged, "Well I don't see him, so he won't know, right?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

...

...

That... hadn't occured to her. "He... wouldn't..." she said slowly, feeling the idea out in her head.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra's grin broadened. "Nope."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I..." Hinata blinked at Cassandra. "Yes, then... I'd like that."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

With a quick movement Cassandra spun to turn toward the food tables, "Come on then."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"A-alright," Hinata said, "I'm coming."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Sure that Hinata is following her Cassandra asked conversationally, "So what do you do back home?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"A-ano," she blushed slightly, "I'm a ninja, just a Genin though."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra paused to look Hinata over again, "Is 'Genin' good? You look like you're pretty good."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Ah..." she glanced down, "it's the lowest level," Hinata admitted slowly, embarrassed.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

That didn't really matter to Cassandra, so she shrugged. "Well then, you'll be getting a lot better, huh?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"A-ano, I'll be trying."

What else could she say? She'd never be good enough for her Father.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Another shrug, "Well, you already move pretty well, so you must have quite a bit of training."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"W-we start young," she said, "a-and I've been on active duty for nearly two years."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra nodded, "Good. We should spar sometime."

Then she grinned, "And here's the food!" Because that was clearly more important than talk about fighting skills.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I--" she started to say something, a denial most likely, when the rest of what Cassandra said caught up to her. "Yes," Hinata agreed, "there's quite a bit of food here."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Apparently that was a sign of encouragement because Cassandra shoved a plate into Hinata's hands and started loading it down. "Mmm... cheesecake! And these brownies! And some cookies! Oh! Lemon squares!"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

...

...

Hinata stared at the plate, eyes wide as Cassandra piled things on it. "All desserts?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

Cassandra paused and blinked. "Um... did you want something else?" She just sort of assumed that everyone loved sugar!
