[And proper shinobi assume everyone does, so there won't be more than a slight nod in acknowledgement. Otherwise they'd go in circles and Neji's just about had enough of that. It hadn't been his intention to insult-- she'd know, if he ever got the inclination.
Neji learns the pattern of her footsteps. Listens carefully for others. Cuts a particularly bothersome vine by passing his hand through it, but of course the hand's coated with the very faint glow of chakra.
Scoffs lightly. Not meant to be insulting, again-- this time, he's at least quick to move to disarm.] I hope so. [And his voice is becoming more his own again- deep and level, but not by force.] I've already heard these ViViD sessions aren't all there is to this world, I just haven't found myself in that world long enough to draw my own conclusions and assess the safety of-- who I must, with my own eyes. [He'd only seen Lee in these games. Only seen that other girl in them too. Only seen Hinata, in that first game. --and.] I'll apologize to you when we find the exit and I'm allowed to do that much.
[And then he'll kill the fuckers in charge of running ViViD. Easy, yeah?]
[Well, Lili is at least certain of herself enough to say without bite or reproach-]
I'll be expecting that apology then.
[Because she's just that kind of person who doesn't back down. Still though, they continue to trek through the forest and she's wary, she really is, but more than that, she's looking for the glowing sign for their exit. Or the doorway that will lead to nowhere. Or any other convention that ViViD uses to guide players outside.]
