"Oh." So this was supposed to be a surprise visit? It seemed he had taken the wind out of her sails. Lee flushed, turning his head and reaching up to scratch at the nape of his neck. "Ah, well, that is understandable. We do not always have time, being busy shinobi and all..."

And she even moreso, being the daughter of the Kazekage. Now that Lee thought on it, what did Hyuuga think of Neji being with Temari? Was it seen as acceptable, since she had rank and family status in her village, or was it seen as disobedience, dating someone that his family had not pre-approved for him?

"I may try to seek Gaara-san out, then. I would hate to have him show up to my apartment and find that I was not home if he wished to chat." Not that Gaara was the most talkative person but they were friends. It could happen.

Turning his eyes back to her, Lee hummed and brushed back his long, dark hair. "Temari-san, I do hope that you are taking care of Neji well. He needs someone who can let him be himself."
