17th Tomoe || Video, Action for House of Minnie

[Sasuke's sitting on his bed when the video goes on, and he's holding an egg... With a Dratini hanging around his shoulders and looking at the camera?

Looks kind of small though. Maybe a baby Dratini? Whatever it is, it looks interested in the camera -- and said camera gets pulled away briefly before the focus returns to Sasuke, and in his free hand -- oh hey his cast is gone! -- He's holding up a silver ticket that a lot of trainers seem to have gotten...]

What's the point of going to a party like this or there being a party like this in the first place? It seems like a huge waste of time.

[Sasuke, in other words, is asking what's so special about Prom. Care to explain?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Mm.

[She nuzzles her again and smiles a little, petting all down the length of her skin.]

How do you know you won't have fun at the prom-thing if you've never been a party?

[The Dratini seems to enjoy the attention and makes a little noise, closing her eyes and relaxing beneath Tenten's palm.

After a moment Sasuke ends up sighing again, shaking his head and looking away from Tenten.]

...

[Now if only he had an answer for her.]

[That's okay. She'll wait. And play with the baby dragon while she does.]

...

Too many people.

[She tilts her head and glances t, fingers still absently running along the Dratini's skin. Hopefully he doesn't notice that light flush.]

Well... If you don't want to get stuck with a whole bunch of different people... You could stick around me most of the time. I won't mind.

[Excuse him for blinking just a little, he's not expecting it. He stares briefly before glancing forward, humming after a beat.]

Maybe.

[That stare makes her nervous, inspiring a quick laugh as she focuses all her attention on the dragon.]

Good. I've got rare Pokémon to catch and a birthday to celebrate a month late. It'll be fun, promise. Even for you.

[A slow nod and he sighs a little, frowning ahead.]

... It's an opportunity to get information, at least.

[A sigh as she rested both elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands.]

You could at least pretend to be happy people want to spend time with you, you know.

[He hums in response before he reaches over to gently pet the then-sleeping Dratini.]

... It's not my kind of thing.

[She leans a little toward him to make the Dratini easier to reach, quirking an eyebrow at him.]

Which part? The people, or being happy?

[No answer for you, Tenten.]

[Another sigh as she shook her head, leaning back enough to let her hands rest back against the bed without waking the little dragon-snake.]

Well, other people will be happy to see you, at least. Especially Naruto-kun, huh?

[Definitely. Not. Probing for information or anything. :|]

[That's an annoyed frown and eye twitching.]

Remind me to punch the moron when I see him.

[A small laugh.]

So you and he aren't...?

No. We're not and we never will be.

[Dammit Obito...]

Your cousin will be disappointed, I think.

[But she's certainly not.]

I don't care.

[She just leans back against the bed again with another smile.]

Well, it'll be interesting to see the sparks fly, at least. Remember when he went and challenged everyone at the Exams, before they started? I thought Neji was going to strangle him.

... I arrived late. I didn't see any of the other matches.

I knew Naruto won, but I didn't know he was up against Neji.

[Knowing what he does now it isn't that surprising, but before...]

[She shook her head, careful not to dislodge the Dratini still.]

No, no, I mean before they even started. Before the written exam.

...I actually missed most of your match, though. Why were you late? We weren't sure if you were coming or not.

Kakashi and I were training and perfecting a new technique until the last moment.

... It required that, at least for a few seconds, me matching Lee's level of speed. Along with the Sharingan.

Lee's speed. [She repeats it a little dumbly, both eyebrows raised in disbelief.]

With or without the weights?

Without.

Kakashi gave me a demonstration when we started training.

You were able to get up to Lee's speed in a month.

[She just shakes her head and stares toward the ceiling.]

Uchiha. First you copy his techniques, then you were able to copy his speed. It's impressive.

[If a little unfair.]
