'She's... Smiling...? Guess I'm not so standard after all, now am I?'
The small tug on the woman's lips felt like a small victory to the Genjutsu user, and internally, she had a sense of pride in the fact that she had elicited some sort of recognition from her new sensei. Even if Neriu was the epitome of all the things that she had grown to dislike over her few short years -- though she had no proof other than the woman's apparel -- she still wanted to be recognized for what she knew she was capable of, and what she already possessed within her. The fact that she was a fellow kunoichi who had clearly been able to prove herself as a shinobi made it even more important to her because that was what she strove for herself. She would never admit it though.
After she had gauged the Jonin's reaction and savored in silent pleasure, Kagami turned to look at her teammate, Daichi. She waited for him to give his answer to the question posed to both of them, and she was genuinely curious about what he would say. He had already revealed to her that he was big into nature -- the opposite of herself -- so she expected that his response would be largely different from that of her own. The girl almost looked forward to learning more about him from his answer, and when he began to speak, she listened carefully.
'... Did he... Did he really just say that?'
The kunoichi couldn't help but grin her signature Cheshire grin at the pun made by her comrade -- with her love of riddles, it was no surprise that she enjoyed the occasional pun. Her head turned down and then to the side away from him, almost as if she were attempting to hide her face and her reaction to what he had said. Where she had been more serious and intense, he had been funny and, truth be told, a little bit awkward. She had already picked up on that last bit before, though. He had repeated his name twice, and he had rambled only minutes before after being asked why they were there in the garden. Surprisingly though, Kagami kind of liked it. It took the pressure and tension that she felt in her chest away and made the whole situation easier to handle. In a way, she was thankful for it, and him.
When she finally managed to gather herself after hearing the joke, she cleared her throat and returned her head to the normal position of being held up and looking forward. She looked at Daichi for a moment, retaining a hint of her smile, but then shifted her gaze back to Neru. The woman spoke, giving them a somewhat indifferent response once again. Kagami was starting to get the impression that that was just her personality though. After all, she had smiled when Kagami had given her reply. It was that inkling that kept the young woman from getting irritated and going off on a tangent in her head once more.
It was after that that Kagami noticed a new arrival on the scene. He emerged from the trees almost without a sound, and had she not possessed a stunning attention to detail, she might have missed his arrival entirely. Her eyes stuck to him for a moment, examining him as closely as she could without being too obvious. Though she knew that squads were usually composed of four people, and further more that her particular type of squad usually had three Genin to a Jonin, she found herself a little confused. It was clear that Neru was their Jonin, but this man didn't look like a Genin to Kagami. To put it simply, he seemed too old to be one. Her train of thought was ultimately cut off when their sensei introduced him as the third member. It seemed she had been mistaken.
"Um, hi there. I'm Kagami, it's nice to meet you, uh, Kenji. Welcome to the team."
She tried to act normally and friendly toward him --even waved a little bit -- but the simple fact was that she didn't know what to make of him just yet. Not only because she had just met him and knew nothing about him, but because she was still in a sort of state of intrigue and surprise. She couldn't help but wonder why he was still a Genin. There were so many possible answer to the question, but she tried to push the thought from her mind. Instead, she waited for things to continue, glancing from Daichi to Neru and back to Kenji, trying to keep a polite smile on her face.
