[If you happen to go out to the edge of the forest in a certain direction, you'll find Neji there. Frustrated with Luceti and what it means to be trapped here, he's taking it out in time-honored Team Gai fashion - by beating the shit out of whatever inanimate object no one appears to be using. In this case, it's a tree, which is definitely looking the worse for the series of blows he's directing against it. Nothing fancy for now, no Gentle Fist, no jutsu. Just good old-fashioned beating until he's exercised out some of his overflowing frustration. And he's talking while he hits -- just letting it all out here, so he can be calm and collected later, each emphasized word coming with a blow to the splintering tree.]

This... this damned hellhole, why did they have to decide it was a lark to grab everyone now of all times? I need to be home, I need to be fighting where it's going to do some damned good...

[Of course, he thinks no one can see him. Going to correct him on it?]

[She shrugs]

I have no idea. It just seemed suspicious to me that they gave it to us right after completing an infiltration mission to give us something to improve our fighting skills.

I think your instincts may be on target in that regard. [Dryly; he really doesn't have enough information to go on, but that juxtaposition seems to be more than random coincidence.] I'm glad to know that before I investigate it.

Well... good luck. [She smiles a little.]

I'll let you get back to work.

[though she really would recommend taking it out on a post or something instead of a tree. >>]

Thanks.

[And he considers the tree, which is... well, still alive, although definitely the worse for wear. Better off than if it had been Lee going after it, at least!]

... maybe I will go look for somewhere in town to continue.

I'm heading back that way if you want me to point you in the direction of the barracks?

[She's all too eager to keep him from murdering that poor tree.

SAVE THE TREES.]

[HEY THE TREE IS STILL ALIVE pretty much. Sort of. It can heal, right?]

I would appreciate it. [Not that this place is that hard to figure out, but company is probably a good thing, overall.]

All right. It's this way.

[And so, off they go!]

[Huzzah, someone to show him around who isn't going to make snarky comments at him. Ahem. Shikamaru.]
