She was once more put on a mission and while she was happy for the work this was basically the worst mission they could have given her. The clan she came from was known for being strong, taijutsu focused users, difficult to harm... Only, she'd not really gotten any sound sleep in days and it was really catching up outside of her attitude now. Nyx was working on chipping away jagged edges of the wall so they could be smoothed for rebuilding when the world blurred and she stumbled backwards falling down into the grass beneath her. Everything was so green... Than it was peacefully black and quiet for several moments.
It was a slow but gradual process of rebuilding Konoha. Each day progress was made but rebuilding the village to its former glory still seemed like an endless task of building and repairing. To lift the spirits of her fellow shinobi Midori had taken up food and beverage offerings for the hard laborers at work, and set those in the Hyuga Clan who were not doing anything else to help her out in this endeavor. Like those days before today was no different. Today the clan heir found herself outside of the collapsed wall where the nine tails had crumbled it pebbles. Being along this border brought back the grim reality of just how strong those beasts were, and how their main line of defense had fallen so quickly. They had to rebuild it, and fast...
Midori offered those who sat back on breaks some water and homemade rice balls. It was a coin toss if they would actually accept, but more often than not they did. It was the summer months, and working hard in this heat was bound to make anyone thirsty. Which is why, when shouts sounded up about a girl falling unconscious, it wasn't all too surprising. Hearing the commotion close by Midori's gaze turned towards the people gathering around the figure on the ground. It was then that she recognized it, and her heart dropped. She was no medical ninja, but adrenaline didn't care for occupations.
"Nyx!" The genin called, rushing over and pushing her way a few of the people to get to her team mate. "Move!" Once she got through she bent down beside the unconscious girl and held her head up, examining her features with a worried expression. She was warm, very warm, but breathing. It didn't take a doctor to understand she had overexerted herself. Turning to the people around her Midori's usually soft facial features turned to anger, blue eyes narrowing and her teeth clenched together. "What are you guys standing around for!? Can't you see she's exhausted!? Get an ice pack and some water, now!" It wasn't normal for Midori to be so abrupt and mad, so you know this was a very drastic situation. She didn't ever really get to make friends, and she wasn't going to let a potential one die out in the middle of the sun. A few people around her nodded and went to look for the things she specified. In the meantime Midori rested Nyx's head onto her lap and pulled out a paper fan from her pocket to begin cooling her off.
Know who accepted Midori's offerings of food and drinks without seeming to have any bettered lifted mood from doing so? That's right, Nyx! She could take one of the prepared things and still look entirely unaffected by everything surrounding her alongside a mild grumpy set of her lips. That was the best the green haired had gotten when she'd even gotten anything besides close to how they'd met.
Atop being very warm her skin nearly feverish to touch? Her skin seemed paler than normal if that was even possible and the area around her eyes was entirely blackened those bags more close to someone having taken marker around her eyes at this point, one could mistake them for a fashion statement! Nyx would remain out cold for quite the decent amount of time as Midori worked on seeing her cooled off. Eventually, for just a few minutes one would be able to swear she was asleep instead of collapsed! Seconds later however her grey eyes would open... they were blood shot. "Oh Great..." She scoffed it out slightly and turned her head to the side slightly but didn't lift her head from the hyuga's lap who knew the exact reason for that though she could just lack the energy to do so.
Quite honestly Nyx was a lot more tolerable when she wasn't conscious. You know, when she was unable to send insults flying the Hyuga's way. It was almost peaceful. But of course Midori was still unnerved with the Kaguya's sudden collapse and dreadful appearance. She may have her attitude but she was still a leaf village ninja and she team mate. Midori was concerned.
Thankfully Nyx didn't seem to be totally out as she woke just to breathe her annoyance before closing her eyes again. Midori sighed in relief it wasn't more serious. Still, didn't mean it was less concerning. Someone came back with a cup filled with water and handed it to Midori who thanked them under her breath. "Since you're awake are you able to sit up enough to drink this? It'll help, it's cold." She would continue to fan Nyx, but if the girl wasn't well enough to drink it herself Midori would have to be a bit creative.
