Despite it being forced by the nurses, Utena had very much enjoyed sitting down with Sakura and Euphy. She almost hadn't wanted to leave, they were both so friendly. She wouldn't have minded hearing more stories about the ninjas of Konoha, either. She couldn't say no to being outside, though, especially not with the promise of a good game involved. It had been way, way too long since she had gotten any exercise that wasn't also tied to escaping from some danger or another. The fact that she would be able to play with friends both new and old was a definite plus as well.

By the time she made her way outside, she could already spot the nurses helping a woman with brown, braided hair set up a volleyball net. Utena hadn't been able to see all that clearly in the dark of nightshift, but from what she could remember (very tall, athletic build, braided hair), she figured that the woman had to be Taura. She smiled widely and started jogging toward the net. "Ooooi, Taura!" she called out, waving as she approached. She slowed to a stop, then asked, "It's Taura, right?" to be certain that she had the right person. "I'm Utena. Nice to meet you in the sunlight where we can actually see each other," she greeted with a short laugh. "Thanks for getting things set up, by the way. Volleyball should be great for the group size we're going to have."
