[ i'd understand if you wouldn't, but before he manages to finish the last part— ahh, that enthusiasm. it's like it just shined away all his doubt and worry right there! hinata doesn't see it, but he sighs a wisp of air out in relief. ]

[ he ate earlier ( and kind of got spooked which was half the reason why he left ), but you know— after two hours your stomach empties! he wouldn't mind another snack and pig out, especially if he was in good company! ]
