[ Even though the morning (by technicality of anything after midnight being considered morning) had only begun along with the arrivals, it was looking to be a long one. One made even longer waiting for someone, anyone she knew, to arrive or for any news. Whichever happened to arrive first.
Hinata tried her best to keep her nervous figeting contained to looking over and rearranging the supplies she managed to gather, and looking around the plaza. As if maybe in the few seconds she looked away, something would change.
On the tenth time of doing that, she could actually make out two figures walking closer. For the sake of keeping her actual fighting abilities somewhat underwraps, she didn't dare to activate her byakugan. Instead choosing to hesitate and wait until they got closer to see their condition or anything more distinguishing. Which may have been a bad idea when she can make out that one is supporting the other, and...
And...
And she knew that face.
Out of everyone, she didn't expect such a condition from Shikamaru. Which is why, at the moment, it's hard for her to do little more than stare, body frozen. Because if he's like that, then what does that mean for the rest? ]
