Hiro almost choked on his half-swallowed bite of fish. Following Ginta, he washed it down with a long swallow of tea, breathing in short gasps until his throat eased. "Spoiled... do I even want to know?" He stared at Ginta incredulously. "The mud, at least, one of my teammates would have tried anyway — he was like that, Uchiha or not. And the other was an Aburame, they burn through clouds of chakra just sitting there, with the symbiosis. I tried it because they both said it wasn't that bad, actually, and my stomach was starting to eat through to my spine." Running surveilance with his Byakugan, trying to find a clear path out, he'd needed something to help keep him going.
"But spoiled duck embryos? Really?" He stared down at his full plate of fish, and decided to start in on the vegetables instead. "I really hope there was a good reason for that. A power outage on a diplomatic mission in River Country, maybe?" He faintly recalled that duck embryos were considered a delicacy there, although he hadn't been on a mission to that area in quite some time. Depending on the outcome of Ginta's story, he thought he might try and keep it that way. |
