"It's pretty disrespectful to decline a gift," Totally turning the situation around, Taiho blatantly called Shio out yet again. Whether she thought there were implications surrounding the offer or not, what sort of instructor waved away a gift from her future students? Sure, Taiho didn't see any acceptable reason behind it, but maybe Kyo was sensitive or maybe he really liked Shio or maybe he'd worked really hard all day and night to present this gift to her and she waved it away as if it were some unwanted trash. By pure definition, it was selfishly disrespectful. She didn't even care for Kyo's feelings. Obviously, he were offering her the kunai with some sentiment, even if it could be fictitious, but it was her place, as their superior, to at least begrudgingly accept the gift. Even the way she declined the offer was disrespectful. That business denial was without any consideration for the gift and was a horrible way to start a first impression with Kyo. She was someone that didn't care and she was someone that held no worry for their emotional well being and she was someone that couldn't even pretend to play nice; she was the exact opposite, maturely, of what a Sensei was supposed to be.

This was simply an observation made by Taiho. He took her in, reading her as the words spilled out from her leathery pages, and was aiming to get a penetrating gaze of her true self. It wasn't because he was interest in her, he was a boy that held no personal interests, however he was positive that knowing her attitude, mannerisms, personality, strengths and weaknesses would enable his interaction with her all the better. Calling her out was simply reflex of someone who also, genuinely, did not care for the feelings of others. Taiho would have most certainly acted the same way as Shio, however he viewed the same scenario from a different altitude. In Shio's case, her actions were a detriment, not an baseless trait. It told Taiho everything he shouldn't waste his time doing with her or for her. She wasn't an overly considerate person, despite that she would bring up her medical experience. She was clear cut, straight to business, and not one for tradition. This would make her awkward to be tutored under, Taiho was sure, because he felt their progress would probably be seen the same as some science experiment in some lab.

Either it was a pass or a fail.

"I don't need healing." Cooly, Taiho watched as Kyo, for some reason or another, left.
Then came the bird. Yet again, a puzzled look appeared on Taiho's face. He was silent as he listened to what Shio had to say. Only...She didn't say anything else? Taiho opened his mouth to speak a moment, before closing it again, setting his careful, detailed oriented eyes upon the bird. It was a strong looking animal. It had wings that, folded as they were, looked as long as Taiho's arm was long and it had a sharp, yet uniquely curved beak that told just what sort of falcon it was.

"Do you want me to kill it?" Taiho would ask, more than ready to do so should Shio ask. Killing an animal, no matter how intelligent, was not a problem for Taiho. Taiho wasn't used to a supposed superior not directing him when he requested direction. That's why he went to the conclusion that whatever task that was coming up would be related to the bird. Taiho wasn't boastful, nor was he bigheaded, but he would go at any task that he was asked to do with the drive to complete it, no matter how absurd or impossible it may seem or inhumane it may sound. He wasn't the sort to let emotions or pretenses stand in the path of success...Which was mostly due to his lack of emotional expression.
