When you had been de-petrified upon Minami's suggestion as an extra card for the fighting team, Hyoga thought you'd be another cocky, easy-to-bribe kind of person, but seeing how you so easily slipped into your clothes and immediately assessed the situation around, he grew somewhat curious.

He had been seeing you talking with Tsukasa or Senku over the next few days, your voice always so soft and respectful sometimes it was hard to not compare you with Francois with how helpful you were, but he supposed it was normal considering you were a soldier before petrification... a damn good one at that too if Minami wasn't lying.

You had the same finesse and agility as Kohaku and Homura, hell, you were so fast it almost looked like you transported from place to place sometimes, and the way your body was flexible, so easy to avoid punches, like a snake sliding towards a prey, made it clear you were a top tier soldier.

But... the problem was that, you barely talked unless talked to, you were calculative, cold, and he himself wasn't a fan of useless conversation; just as much as you were, ignoring any attempts he had made to start a conversation while you trained... it got on his nerves a bit sometimes.

Especially when Chelsea, as blunt as she was, had already told you many, many times about the many instances Hyoga would set up just so he could get the perfect opportunity to talk to you and to take the hint already! but you only brushed her off with a soft chuckle and a shake of your head.

"Dammit... they're getting on my nerves..."

The spear-user mumbled under his breath as he sighed, watching you after your training with Tsukasa had ended and you both discussed different techniques and tips as you two walked towards the communal showers put up for the fighting team, his grip on his weapon tightening for a moment as he started walking the other way, passing besides you and deciding to take a walk and hopefully find some poor animal to hunt so he could blow off some steam and energy.
