Was he, subtly trying to get a word in with Atagi, the Uzumaki? Definitely. Was that a practical, or easy assessment? Also no. In the large hospital, the many wards any many more staff, it was a tougher call. But, there was someone he could see - not even a person he'd perceived prior to the exams but had heard of due to Saga's fight, Awa Uta. Uta. That was his ticket inside the hospital: so that's who he would go for. Right to the desk, hands laced in front of him innocently, even though the scar on his face and the scowl made it distinctly difficult to know that he was there for a 'good' reason. "Uh... here to see Uta? Awa Uta? The participant?" The receptionist would tell Hotarubi to wait, and went to sit down. Around ten minutes later, assuming that the nurse went to Uta's room and asked if they wanted to be seen or were even there, or in a state to be seen, he was directed to their room: and Hotarubi kept a suspiciously open eye as his head swivelled across the rooms, seeing some of the open doors (not all of them) showed people he had never seen, or a participant he had but didn't care for. That was, until he reached Uta's room. There, he would knock and enter with only two strokes - not much for hospitality in that area.
