[Chouji chuckles as Ikki spins.] I think your name suits you.

Oh, you're friends with Lee too? [This doesn't surprise him a bit, and he smiles.]

That's good! I'm glad you have so many people here, Ikki. No one from my family is, but Shikamaru and Ino are like family. [Ikki is so young and enthusiastic; she shouldn't be here at all, away from her parents and siblings. Since there's no helping it, though, he is entirely sincere when when he says he's glad she isn't alone.]
