Neji-niisan ...

I-I need to speak with you, when you have a moment.

[He may have informed her that he'd only spoken with Akira twice had she been anyone else, but as it was, a slow blink indicated surprise and a lack of initial comprehension. But it sinks in through a layer of pride, and he occupies himself with his tea, spending a few quiet moments in contemplation]

...I understand, Hinata-sama. I apologize for interfering, as well as for any issue I may have caused either of you.

[Hinata's fidgeting has increased as she waits for him to speak, and when he does, she almost flails as she tries to explain.]

I-I know that ... you're only looking out for me, and ... I'm grateful for it, I really am ! B-But ... Akira-kun is a good person. He'd never hurt me. I know it.

[He mulls that over a little with some tea, not particularly happy that he was going to be leaving Akira alone altogether, but he had little reason to contradict her. He nods]

I trust your judgement in that regard, Hinata-sama. [And he does, because she's perceptive- Hyuuga were unlikely to be manipulated. Still, his fingers hold onto the teacup in his hands is a little more than necessary.]

Just be cautious even in personal matters. This world can be unpredictable.

I w-will. I promise. So ... you don't have to worry about me, Neji-niisan.

[She's been protected her whole life, sheltered even, and while this has changed now, this place is so different, with no Clan to watch her every move.]

I ... I'd like you to meet him. If you want to. [She adds this hastily, as if understanding this might be a sore point.]

[He nods, briefly excusing his lack of reply with a drink of tea as words surface- hot and tempered- until he smooths away the edge]

That's fine, though I'm not certain he'll wish the same.

Y-You two just didn't start on a good footing, that's all !

[All in all, she's quite certain they'll never get along, but as long as they're civil, it doesn't matter.]

... T-Thank you.
