It was a widely known fact that funerals made people uncomfortable doubly so when the person who died was loved by many. The sober atmosphere was matched by Yeo's body language. The mournful look he held was more out of respect then personal loss. Unlike most in the village Yeo was a relatively new member. Having only arrived in the village six months ago. He had found the sense of calm surrounding the village welcoming and the fact that its ninja academy had welcomed him made the decision to remain an easy one to make. With the village being called home for such a short period of time he knew little about those being laid to rest this solemn day.

Yeo had positioned himself near the back of the crowd to let those more affected by the shinobi deaths to get closer. Since the procession had only just started he knew it would be some time before the caskets crossed his gaze. Instead he found his eyes wandering this way and that like they often do when he is confronted with waiting. As he looked over the crowd Yeo spotted a classmate of his, Minoru Maki, was perched above the road on a large rock giving him wide view. The self awareness of the advantageous spot was a well known trait of Maki's. It took three flicker steps for Yeo to arrive on the rock next to his schoolmate just as he heard the words in my lifetime.

"Hopefully it will be a long one." Yep said casually. He felt more comfortable next to Maki, as the two were both newcomers to the village. As such the feeling of being outsiders was more pronounced then normal. Maki's distance from the procession seemed more of an example of normal behaviour then respect like Yeo's. He looked over at the bow that rested on the back of Maki's back and felt the urge to strum the string. He fought through this and instead looked down at the arrowhead in the boys hand. The silence had been expected down by the crowd, but with it only being him and Maki it seemed more damning than anything. 

"Seems the whole village is in a state of stupor." Yeo mused aloud. It wasn't meant to draw a conversation or even a response. Just an observation of the stage below the two. "They said they are going to be posting the teams from our class later. Any idea where your going to be placed?" This question was meant as a conversation starter. During their time at academy Maki and Yeo had been paired off for several practice assignments as well as after school training outside of school regulated practice. The two got along well enough and had other people in the class been asked most would have likely partnered the two together. Still Yeo didn't really see that as his history had him constantly seeing him as the outsider in any community.
