[Yuki Kazu]

Taru seemed deep in thought about what Kazu had said. The boy himself knew that it would be difficult for him to find motivation, his sensei even told him that he didn't need it. Still, he would try to find it. If there was anywhere that he could find motivation, it was the exams. His attention got drawn back to the girl as Taru stated that she hoped that he found what he was looking for. She sounded almost more genuine than his sensei, even convincing the boy that maybe he could do it.

As he stared at the ground, Kazu realized that Taru had noticed. He didn't mind though; he was just so used to all of the snow in Yukigakure that it was nice to see something else. Even if the snow was his favorite part of his village. She told him to keep a focused mind basically, that way he wouldn't miss the motivation he needed simply because he was distracted. He looked back at her, a genuine smile on his face, "Just not used to there not being snow everywhere, it's a nice reminder that I'm actually here." 

As the girl ran out of advice, Kazu saw the entrance to the dormitories a small distance in front of him. "No worries, we got to our destination anyways. It was nice meeting you Taru, I wish you luck in the exams." Then, he went in the direction of his room, ready to pass out.
