16th Tomoe || Video, Action for House of Minnie

[beforethedarkness]

[It's early in the morning when Sasuke is woken up by Sakura. He groans when he sees the cheerful Lucario greeting him, and when he's pulled along to see why...

Well, that makes his morning a whole lot worse.

A sigh leaves Sasuke before a video goes up on the network, revealing the tired boy (sans headband) in a closed, rather plain room with his happy Lucario leaning on his shoulders. Seems like the radio on his gear is tuned in to the 'Town Channel' to cover up whatever background music there is, too...]

I have a lot of eggs and am putting them up for sale. There's Zubat, Shinx, Emolga, Oshawott, Riolu, Treecko, Yanma, Feebas, Charmander, Buneary, Vulpix, Torchic, and Purrloin eggs. I can send them over the PC to you.

[Yeah he's incredibly tired right about now. Shutting off the feed on that note.]

[[OoC: There are still some eggs left! Post is here!]]

Comments

[usedswift]

I don't want them to, either, but that they're willing to is enough.

After Lee got hurt, Gai-sensei didn't stop training Neji and me. We wouldn't have wanted him to. It'd be the same for you and your sensei, wouldn't it...? And that's kind of what we are for these guys, whether we're trained for it or not.

[beforethedarkness]

[He nods, agreeing silently and choosing to just not add anymore at the time. If Tenten wanted the conversation to continue, she'd have to start it again herself.]

[usedswift]

[She thinks about gathering her eggs and going, but... the company is nice. Staying in near those new eggs, she keeps her eyes on them and asks,]

Would you want to train together, sometime...? Not just our Pokémon, I mean, both of us. Even if we can only work taijutsu, I wasn't on Lee and Neji's team for the past year and a half for nothing, you know.

[Yeah, she still hasn't forgotten that comment about her being too weak to protect him.]

[beforethedarkness]

... When my arm's out of the cast. I can't fight you to the best of my ability until then.

[usedswift]

I didn't say fight, I said train. You don't think just because one limb's out of commission, the enemy's going to care, do you? I run in the morning. You're welcome to join me.

[beforethedarkness]

...

All right.

[usedswift]

[The tense set of her shoulders eases somewhat as she starts to gather the eggs into her arms, whistling quietly to prompt Hibuchi back over to her.]

It'll be interesting to see how one of Kakashi-sensei's students trains, anyway. I'm looking forward to it.

[beforethedarkness]

Mm.

[Unhelpful response, isn't it? Still, it's all he feels like adding to that.]

[usedswift]

[She just rolls her eyes and makes sure she has a firm grip on all of them before pushing herself to her feet, moving across to bump a shoulder companionably against his -- hands are too full for a hug -- before making for the door.]

Thanks, Sasuke.

[beforethedarkness]

There's nothing to thank me for.

[usedswift]

[She pauses to glance back at him, raising an eyebrow.]

Maybe not. But it's nice to have someone to talk to and train with, after... everything that's happened in the past couple days.

[beforethedarkness]

. . .

Don't worry about it.

[usedswift]

[She looks at him another moment, biting her lip before nodding again.]

Right...

[She wavers and moves as if to take a step closer, but Hibuchi barks with annoyance, wanting to know if they're going back in the room or heading out, leaving her flushing and making for the door at a faster pace.]

Well, see you later then.
