Oh, she certainly didn't forget Iruka. But whether she used to refer to him by his first or last name, and whether her reasoning for that was sufficient to continue doing so was lost to her. It hadn't been particularly important to her at the time. The her of the past had...some different views on things than she did now.
She considered briefly whether his behavior might actually be explained by a strange energetic bloodline. Wouldn't Konoha have a history of ninja with behavior like his, though...? Maybe it could be researched.
But--she turned her attention from that quickly enough once he spoke. Was she obviously troubled? She...was failing somewhat as a ninja to display her emotions openly, even when she had no reason to believe she was being watched. Especially if she did so to such an extent that she had drawn an old teacher's concern.
She considered briefly what to say, under those circumstances. "...It's a disappointment to be injured and unable to take on missions for the rest of the month. Time moves slowly when there's little to do."
