Phoenix faintly smiled again, all of her looks brief for some reason. "I do...and yeah, medic nins do have a hard time....but its worth it..." she said, shifting then looked at the cake, rubbing her head yet again then hesitantly took a small piece.

"Hm...Are the ninja here really strong?" It was kind of stupid, but she just had to ask. Naka wasn't much of a fighter, but at least she had endurance.

Phoenix vaguely shrugged and leaned back a bit. "It depends...Konoha ninja that I've met and seen are definitely talented in my opinion..." She thought a bit, having nibbled on half of the cake. "The sand are the same, I don't take sides...but all the ninja have their own strength's and weaknesses..."

"Ah, I see..." Naka looked across the room at her sword. She had gotten it by default, since there were no other heirs. So she wasn't actually strong. "How do you become strong?"

Phoenix faintly looked to her, then to the sword and she shifted, looking back to her softly. "It isn't by force...its a mix...of training....but also help from others...just forced training, can make you seem strong...but you wouldn't have the motivation without help...."

"Hah...Forced training...No wonder..." As she talked, there was a mini-flashback in her brain. These visions were common now, but she still let her expressions of pain slip from behind her mask. The current vision...was of training...with Aiden...

Phoenix watched her for a bit then rubbed her head, shifting and sitting up a bit more. She felt she should leave soon, but it had been awhile since she had been allowed to even come in anywhere by somebody new. She glanced back to Naka, a faint odd look, wondering if she was okay.

Goru nudged his sister, causing her to wake with a jolt. "Um...ah, heheh." Naka smiled sheepishly. Way to make a first impression.

Phoenix tilted her head a bit, coughing slightly. "I can leave if you'd like..." She said softly. She was always hesitant with any people really, after being hated for most of her life.

"I-it's okay..." Naka smiled weakly again. Lucky for her, the vision started to fade in her brain. "You d-don't have to..."

Phoenix faintly thought and stood. "I'm not leaving Konoha for at least a week...I have to add some notes for my book on poisons and medic ninjutsu..."

"Oh...Okay..." Naka opened the door for her. "Nice to meet you, Phoenix-san. I hope to meet you again."

Phoenix nodded a bit and bowed her head to her softly. She mumbled about the infirmary but smiled, nodding to her then waved to Goru before she left. She didn't walk long down the hall before she moved into her own apartment, being number 7.

Naka locked the door behind her after Phoenix left. Goru walked up to his sister, apathetic as ever. He tugged on her pant leg, looking up with a baby-ish face. "Nee-chan, I'm hungry." "..."
