Oki trotted along beside him, easily keeping up his pace.
"Pathetic wouldn't have been my choice of words exactly but you're a mess, I'll give you that. If this is what it takes to become a chuunin, I'll stay a genin forever."

Yuki's smile got at least a little wider, and he picked up the pace at least to a little jog... "Ebisu would hang me... If I didn't push it... like this..." He breathed a little heavier and realized he was overdoing it.. "How'd... You... Get the... Shiner?" he asked, wanting Oki to talk for a second...

Oki absently brought her hand up to brush her fingers across the eye.
"I was helping out Iruka with his class. He has about four students who think they'll be the next Naruto, which means they're full of trouble. One of them used kiwarimi on me and I wasn't paying attention. It was a good use of the technique, but Iruka was pretty upset."

"Lord help us... If.. there's... more than one... Of him..." he said and sunk to a knee, panting and rubbing his temples. It wasn't the flat out fall and face plant that Oki had warned him about... but he was done for...

Oki stopped and took the cap off the bottle of water. She placed it at her feet and performed her hand seals to draw water from the nearby pond and stream it into the bottle. She handed it again to Yuki.
"Here. I got a few mouthfuls of this today, so the water's good."

Yuki smiled and let himself plunk over onto his butt and take the water bottle taking another long drink. "One jutsu now... And I'd be out cold," he said, seeming actually very pleased with himself - he knew exactly what his limit it was now...

"I wouldn't suggest testing that. I really don't want to have to try and carry you home."

Yuki actually laughed this time, without a jog to strain his lungs. "Don't worry... I've gotten at least a little smarter since you left... A little bit anyways..."
He took another few long breaths getting his system in check. "So you've actually started teaching now?" he asked her, making his way back to his feet, only to walk this time...

"More like assisting," Oki admitted. "But it's a step in the right direction. Iruka just needs another set of eyes every now and again, and it's showing me what I'll have to watch out for. Later this week I'm helping out at a daycare, so maybe I can make an impression on some of them while they're young and they'll behave themselves later."

Yuki laughed a little and instantly regreted it, realizing how it might be construed... "Sorry..." he said quickly, holding out his hands, but fully expexted to be wearing that bottle of water very shortly....

Oki laughed with him and reached out to take his hand.
"It was a joke, Yuki, you're supposed to laugh," she said lightly. "But kids also aren't everyone's thing, and I understand."

Yuki continued his laugh, grateful that she was so good natured. "You're right, it's better you than me..." He glanced down to make sure his senses weren't lying to him, and confirm that Oki was actually holding his hand. Dispite everything - it still took him a little by surprise. His grin widened as they walked towards the academy again...

"They're not all bad, but I mean throw someone who looks like me in front of a group of boys who are just starting to take an interest in girls and it's a recipe for disaster. They all start showing off! I'm looking forward to the little ones. At least all they'll want is someone to play with and maybe a chance to sit on my lap during story time."

"Show off... Just for you... Is that a personal shot?" Yuki asked, laughing at himself basically knocking himself out just for a shot at taking Oki skating... In retrospect realizing the lake would have been a far better venue...

"Hey, you're not twelve any more and I'm pretty sure you're not just discovering girls. Or if you are, now I really don't want to know who you've been dating while I was gone," Oki smirked.
