Neji made a small lunch of sandwiches while Lee sparred with Sasuke, not entirely rid of the negativity directed at the young Uchiha for causing his team unnecessary concern out of carelessness. He also decided to give him time enough to mill about idly and wait for him- fully intent on making him rest in some fashion, as he was fully aware the Chuunin was unlikely to do so otherwise.
As such, he expected Lee to be sitting anxiously or doing any of various stretches, the energy and impatience taking physical form where the other shinobi's capacity for patience tapered off. Instead, he found him sitting on the ground, staring up at the sky, a flash of gold signaling Kiyomi on his opposite side.
"Lee?" He queried across the clearing, brows knitting in mild confusion as he moved closer, annoyance forgotten in the wake of concern. He glanced around. "Did something happen with Sasuke?" Though he couldn't imagine what could have happened to diminish Lee's earlier excitement, it was one of the few possibilities that came to mind.
