[Despite the disadvantages she clearly suffered going in Hinata was grateful that Shino didn't give her a break simply because she possessed a lower leveled party. She wasn't going to be someone that got by simply on favor, she worked hard training Oshawott and she would have been quietly affronted had the match been less challenging. It reminded her a lot of the training regimens she'd put herself through after becoming a genin.
Calling back her Oshawott, she smiled at her teammate. It was good to know that so many familiar faces were here, even if others were missing. It made the adjustment process smoother to have others she could ask questions or receive instructions on how to best go about this strange badge quest she was expected to complete or what to do with the egg voucher she had.]
Mm. Thank you for training with me, Shino-kun. I hope this wasn't keeping you from anything else you wished to do.
it's totally okay.
