His personality would seem to shine through as he flexed his arms in a proud show of what she thought to be something rather interesting. A fighting style that was passed down the generations of his family. The name was definitely hard for her to pronounce, but she would get by. Shrugging her shoulders, Hirihi crossed her arms as she stood there, contemplating what she should do. Dressed in her pink and black clothing, she was one that would likely be seen over the rest of the ninja that had enrolled in the exams. Her pink hair would also give her away in most scenarios.

At the mention of something more common and basic, something that she could give her own ideas on, Hirihi felt comfortable with the mention of the Fuuton training. She didn't have any idea how the particular release worked, but she had her own ways of using the elements. Kaiton. "The name is Hirihi. Rinji Hirihi." She said, smiling as she introduced herself to him. Looking around, she shrugged her shoulders. "If you want, since I don't know if I will find my friend for a while, we can train together. As far as what you want to know, are their any elements or styles you have been rather interested in? Maybe I know some of them." She said, taking a seat in the snow and crossing her legs, her elbows pressing against her knees as she looked up at him.

"As far as for myself, I am one of the apparently many medics that have come to the exams. I am skilled, and I know enough to fill a book. Other than that, I have experience in the Kaiton realm, as well as with the ability of sensors. Moving beyond that, the most I can do is move at near-instantaneous speeds. It is limited to a ten meter range, but it is definitely handy. I'm able to move in response to someone's attack in any direction I wish. As long as I don't cover more than ten meters, I'm typically safe." She said, thinking hard if there was anything else she might know.

"I think that's all there is to know about what I could share with you. Any of it sound interesting to you?" She asked, curious as she watched him all the while. His clothing was more conventional than her own. Black and darker hues that helped him to stay hidden in most terrains, excluding the snow obviously. Her own seemed more impractical the more shinobi that she met.

As the pink hair medic walked along the path past the bridge, her mind wandered to the things of what would be happening there at the Chuunin Exams now that they were done with the first round. The test had been rather difficult, but she was fairly certain that things were going well. She had written down her answers as best she could. She knew she wouldn't score in the top bracket, just because there were some of those things that she had no clue on with no prior experience. She did hope that she would pass, though.

As she walked, Hirihi stopped and noticed that there was someone on the path up ahead. Thinking that it might be Kurai, Hirihi slowly walked up the path towards the gentlemen. As she drew closer, the snowflakes falling around light as flower petals, she realized that it was not Kurai after all. Maybe she had gone to the wrong place to find him. She did recognize him from the exams, though, so maybe this could be her chance to get to know someone else. Make more friends at the exams and broaden her social skills.

Approaching, Hirihi cleared her throat and spoke up, the pink haired medic attempting to get his attention. Excuse me." She spoke out over the snow that was lightly falling around them. Her voice wasn't as loud as most others, being that she had been quiet for a majority of her life. It took a bit more effort for her to speak loudly and clearly to others for that very reason. "Sorry if I'm interrupting anything. I was looking for my friend, and I was curious if you might have seen him pass by here? He has golden eyes, blue hair. Usually wears a hood over his head that makes him seem more conspicuous." She said. She was fairly certain that he wouldn't be showing up there, but it was a conversation starter, right?

As she watched him, anticipating a response, her dark crimson eyes would keep focused on him. She wondered if he might get upset that she had just come up and interrupted him. It had been known to happen a few times in the past. Some people were just too busy to make friends with, she supposed. She hoped it wasn't the case with him.

Hirihi watched him quietly as he would take his turn to speak. His way of speaking was very cool and calculated. It was something about him that she was beginning to find very good. She wasn't that much of a strategist, but she was definitely able to think fast. Watching him, she would continue to consume her meal at a leisurely pace. The potatoes would be gone by the time he would finish talking and begin to stand up. The idea of leaving the building for a while was a very tempting offer. She could use a break. Plus, this would be a nice chance to get to know the person she had teamed up with. Who knows, maybe there could be more to him than just... well... golden eyes and creepy vibes?

Watching him as he would leave the "Unhappy Cow," Hirihi would turn back to her meal and begin to finish the food that she had ordered. It had cooled off considerably in their little conversation, but it was still warm enough to be enjoyed. Finishing the meal took less than ten minutes. Standing up, stretching and taking one last look outside of the window, Hirihi shrugged her shoulders a bit. He hadn't said where to meet. So, she could only assume that she'd just have to hunt to find him. Now that she thought about it, the exams were definitely the best chance she had at some normalacy compared to her own life. The sad thing that it was, she had no real friends aside from the ones that she had begun to make recently.

Her thoughts drifted to Areru. Was she there at the exams too? That was something that could be interesting. Maybe she would see her friend again. Shrugging her shoulders, Hirihi exited the restaurant and moved back to the elevators. She'd make a quick stop upstairs to drop off some of her things in her room and then go outside to find Kurai.

Hirihi would watch him as the silence would fall between the two. There was a certain awkwardness to the silence, as if she were being put on trial and investigated. It wasn't in how she felt, but in how he acted. It was just like when they had met back at the cave. He just kept his mouth shut, and continued to let her talk. He kept a lot to himself, she could tell that much. His statement about her ability to save lives, as she knew, would lead to the question of taking a life. Had she done it? Yes. Every shinobi, at one point or another, has to take a life. It was the natural cycle of kill or be killed. Turning her eyes away a moment, mostly to collect herself, she watched out the window once more. There were samurai wandering around outside, with a few ninja darting here and there. She wasn't sure if they were training, but it was better than watching those golden eyes that were examining her so deeply.

Turning her eyes back to him, she knew that the tone on her face would change to a much graver look. It was never something she liked to discuss, but it had been a time where she had been forced to take someone's life. As she nodded her head, Hirihi could see the life draining from the boy's eyes that she had killed. "I have killed. It is a skill that all shinobi must possess. The ability to take the life of the enemy is something that can't be overlooked." She said, the seriousness of their conversation shining through. "Just as I'm sure you learned how to handle taking a life, I learned as well." She said, taking another bite of steak and keeping her crimson eyes on his golden ones. What was his angle? She couldn't help but feel that nagging sense in the back of her head that said that there was something that she needed to fear from him.

She would keep these concerns to herself and try and block it out as the conversation would progress. No sense fearing him just yet. If he double-crossed her, or if he became a liability, she knew how to handle him. Just... like him.

Watching as he would take a seat, she made a note to herself about jumping to conclusions. He had a point. They hadn't known each other very long, and she was already considering him her friend. Maybe it was a flaw in her character, but she was fairly certain that she was safely able to put that kind of a trust in him. Why? She was a medic. He needed her as much as she needed him. Right? Sighing, Hirihi leaned back and settled into the seat. Watching the waiter as he would approach, Kurai would order his drink before the waiter could come closer to the table. "Well, then let's get to know each other better." Hirihi said, leaning against the table and taking a bite of mashed potatoes.

Wondering what the two would talk about, Hirihi shrugged her shoulders and quietly chewed the mashed potatoes. Taking a sip of water, she turned her crimson eyes back to him. "Well, for starters, I guess I'll go first. As you know, I'm Rinji Hirihi. I've been a shinobi for Kumogakure since I was 13. Six years of service to the village doubling as a medic and a shinobi on missions, I've got enough medical experience to be considered one of the best in the hospital." She said, knowing that he would begin to understand that she was not like most other people when it came to their age matching their appearance. If anything, she would be three years behind when it came to her physical age shining through her appearance.

"What else would you like to know about me?" Hirihi asked, curious as to what he would like to know about her. Once she was done being the focus of the conversation, she would obviously turn it to ask questions about him.

Entering into the large lobby area, Hirihi was blown away by the sheer magnitude of the place. It was a large building to look at from the outside, but to see it from the inside, you'd think it was three times its size! Moving into the main lobby area, Hirihi looked for where she was supposed to get registered. She had registered at the security checkpoint, but she was fairly certain that there was more that needed to be done than that. There had been some strict guidelines to the entrance into these exams. Walking up to a woman who seemed to be in charge, Hirihi would see that there were forms to fill out with their information. She knew she couldn't have had a simple name and weapon's log registration to get into this thing.

Filling out the paperwork, feeling as if she were back at the hospital in Kumogakure, Hirihi filled it out quick and painlessly as she handed the form back to the assistant. "There you go." She said, providing anything else that the assistant might need to have her register for the event.

Once she had done everything required of her, Hirihi found a map on the wall that had an assortment of things listed on the upper floors. Dining areas, shops. Well, damn, why had she been so set on getting her supplies back at home?! She could have easily just gotten here and done it without having to carry the heavy items with her. Sighing and shrugging her shoulders, Hirihi moved towards one of the elevators and pushed the arrow to indicate she wanted a ride up towards the dining areas.
