"Aaand I'm pretty sure," he continued, his arm going from nudging her in the side to being wrapped around her shoulders. "That if Iruka-sensei needed us and we were still eating, we could just save it for later, huh? That's if he didn't wait for us to finish, heh.." Iruka-sensei was kind of really polite like that. It had been weird at first, to not be Iruka's student and be on the same level as him, but Kiba had gotten used to it eventually... the politeness was taking a little more effort to get used to, though.

"Anyways, you eat slow as it is, so if anything happened we'd probably have to leave you behind..." he carried on, squeezing her for good measure, just so that she knew he was kidding.
