Neji was not the type to indulge in boundless optimism, yet at the moment, he was hard-pressed to keep a hold on his habitual skepticism. Hearing from Sakura had been a greater relief than he would have suspected, yet the feeling that she was not angry at him and willing to offer him a hand for them to ease back into some semblance of their former friendship had him in unnaturally high spirits.
Of course, of course this was only the beginning. He was still at odds with Naruto - if it could even be called that, they hadn't even talked since the incident - and didn't know how to treat quite a number of his friends, but looking back on the past months, he at least reserved the right to feel more genuine about himself now.
As he had been pacing in the living room, it didn't take very long for him to get to the door and thoughtlessly grab whichever coat hung closest, but he ceased all movement to regain composure before deciding to open. Neji wasn't exactly asking for commentary on his odd bout of enthusiasm. Nonetheless, his eyes quickly sought out his friends in an unspoken question.
