Kyo was...Not the most sociable sort of guy, it seemed. It wasn't like Taiho was going to complain, in fact he didn't really care either way. It was convenient to have someone that was sociable with others and it was convenient to have someone who just tended to themselves. Taiho wasn't bothered by Kyo's personality and just kept to himself mostly. Unlike Kyo, however, Taiho was mostly vigilant. He kept his eyes alert and attentive to the teams that were littered about, going about their business, in search of whomever it was that they were designated. Taiho heard someone approaching from behind during his continuous scan of the area. Taiho had his eyes set upon the woman as she came closer. He saw her as she stopped just behind the pair and cleared her throat.

Shio would have a clear look at the boy. He wasn't in fine shape at all. Taiho was mostly bruised at this point. Having his face pummeled and his clothes dirtied made him look like he'd survived being trampled by an irate horse. His total and utter defeat by the older ninja was commonplace for the boy, thus it didn't bother him. However, Shio would have a fair look at the mess of a boy that was to be her future mentee. He looked like he didn't know the first thing about fighting or, worse, was simply pitted against individuals many times stronger than he was. Taiho wasn't interest in how others looked at him or what others guessed about him. He carried himself with the same carelessness, as beat up as he was, when he was perfectly fine.

Shio Nara. Taiho mentally confirmed the woman based on the information he got from Kyo moments ago. This was the woman that was expected to train them. Taiho held no opinion of her whatsoever.

"You are late." Taiho would state flatly. Shio would quickly find, as she knew this boy, that all his words were said in that flat, unmotivated tone. He wasn't reprimanding her, nor was there any hint of his being upset about her tardiness. He stared at her a moment, taking the woman in. He turned completely around as his eyes darted about, trying to assimilate every detail about her. Taiho couldn't help, no matter how many times he re-ran the situation, that she'd just came from murdering someone. Was that why there was only two of them now? Did she murder the third teammate? Then again, from what information Taiho got from Kyo, the team was predesignated with just the three of them...So then why was she so bloody? Maybe she murdered some random person? That made more sense. Someone probably upset her and she violently hacked them to pieces. That would also explain her lateness. Would she attempt the same against them the instance they upset her?

Taiho's focus was stolen from the red woman as Kyo pulled out a kunai?
A gift? What for? Taiho didn't understand why Kyo would offer a gift to their instructor. There wasn't any reason to do something like that when she hadn't given him anything in prior too. What was the point of pulling out a weapon, which was something that cost money, and handing it to someone you hardly even knew, for nothing? Was it an attempt to bribe the future instructor? Was Kyo that sort of guy? Taiho didn't judge him, though he did note that it could be such a tactic. They would be trained either way. Taiho didn't care if he were favored or not. Taiho also didn't care about Shio's feelings either, thus he wasn't going to try to make her feel better or nice either. Whether she were sad or mad today didn't really matter to Taiho. Thus, there wasn't any logical reason to offer her things for nothing.

Then, to make matters all the more unusual to Taiho, Kyo bowed out of respect.
The confusion lit up the typically stoic boy's face. Kyo was paying due respect to her out of rank, because she was possibly a murderer, or was it something else? Is that what normal students did? Randomly pay respects to individuals they didn't know? Taiho couldn't relate. There was nothing about this woman that made Taiho want to respect her. He knew nothing about her and, even if she were a higher rank, he wasn't automatically impressed by it. She was a normal, ordinary human being with human blood all over herself. To Taiho, that wasn't going to make him postulate himself and swear undying fealty to her cause and dedicate his all to her whims.

He honestly didn't care enough. But, maybe he was supposed to do that sort of thing.

Taiho took a long blink before his eyes ran back over to his teacher. Taiho hadn't ignored Kyo's free kunai, but wanted more information about the situation. He didn't take the free weapon.

"Do I have to do that too?" He would monotonously inquire, though there didn't seem to be any generous interest in the question. Taiho even went as far as to point at Kyo, so that there wouldn't be any confusion as to what he was referring too. Immediately dropping his hand, he went to his next question before Shio even responded, "What exactly do you want us to do?" Taiho didn't know how to act in this situation. Was he supposed to be submissive and flattering like Kyo or was he supposed to act differently, in contrast to Kyo? This was different than class in which he could just sit at his desk, read his studies, do his work, train his mind and body, and go home. He wasn't require to interact with others, thus he was at a loss of what was reasonably acceptable in this situation. Though, honestly, nothing that Kyo was doing really made sense to Taiho. Despite it not making sense, if Shio did request that he would do it, Taiho would have no problems giving her things and planting his forehead in the dirt.

It was completely applicable.
Either you were using them in contrast to the character or was irrevelantly bringing them up. Either way the information was pointless. No one in the show is like our characters. Our characters can be trained, practiced and learned in a way that we are conditioned with our weapons.

My character doesn't need to be anything like Kisame or Suigetsu to know how to use their own weapon, whichwhich they grew up with nor should any of the other characters expected to either. Bringing up Kisame and other canon characters was absolutely pointless. No one was interested in why Suigetsu was exhausted using a large weapon. Did anyone say Suigetsu and Shira have the same constitution? Anyone mention they have the same level of training? Anyone bring up that they have been using large weapons the same period of time?

Another thing about US soliders is they can become conditioned with their armor and weaponry in months. This compared to a ninja that has been training for years. Again. Conditioning. Conditioning, not random canon references, determines how a character uses their weapon.

If you don't want others to misinterperte what you say then
