Over the years since the Chuunin exams, she'd come to consider Rock Lee a good friend. She'd gotten to know him well enough to generally know where to expect him at any time of the day between his missions. It wasn't all that often she'd seek him out simply to spend time with him because what little free time she had was often monopolized by others before she could really decide anything else to do with it.

She actually did have a message from Shizune to deliver to him today, though, so she decided to spend her early afternoon catching up on whatever highlights he had to share on his recent missions.

While she correctly guessed he be in his room cooling down from a round of training, she…did not correctly guess how he apparently chose to do that.

She startled as soon as she spotted him and…registered…exactly what she was seeing, and then immediately fled the scene. Silently. Like a ninja.

About to die of embarrassment
