Two Necessary Lies ✧ Text | Team Rocket Filter Text | Action for Obito

[Text]

[Well, he learned his lesson from last time to use video/voice with the music giving away his location. Casual conversation is not really Itachi's strong point after so many years of being relatively quiet and hanging around only one other person.]

There's not much of a change between my life here and the one I left behind. I travel, I fight, I move on. The only thing it lacks is a traveling companion capable of saying more than their name. Do you find yourself in a similar situation or have things changed for you?

[Team Rocket Filter Text]

I'm going to Kanto. Too many familiar faces in Johto.

[It's easier to explain it once than have to answer why a half-dozen times.]

[Action for Obito]

[Itachi's there where he asked Obito to meet him, all of his supplies are already set off to the side of the path. Nothing else has changed about him in the last month since their last face-to-face meeting. With his decision to go to Kanto it's very possible that this will be their last chance to spend time together. The location he'd chosen is secluded enough that they won't have to worry about other people stumbling on them by accident.]

[But right now Itachi is waiting for his cousin out in the open, with his eyes on the sky.]

...A lot of things are different.

Will you share?

[Or leave him guessing.]

[His tale was a bit complicated, so he's give you a vague idea of his life.]

Well I went to school and worked as well. I didn't have to travel unless it was to my job. And my ambition wasn't to train pokemon, but to be a singer.

Can you not pursue your dream here as well?

It's very different from the kind of lifestyle I'm used to. ...a lot of people travel in groups here, if you wanted a traveling companion I'm sure you could find someone.

How so? I had one but he's already departed. I'm not interested in getting another one at this time.

I didn't travel before coming here. I'm a student, so I'm used to being in school from morning until evening. There was never much opportunity to travel. ...ah, I'm sorry.

That doesn't sound very exciting. We weren't close.

It wasn't, I didn't mind though. I'm not an exciting person. I see. Well, if you want to talk to people there's always the pokegear as well so traveling alone isn't so bad.

Do you enjoy it here, then? I'm not exactly the social type. My previous companion and I did not talk much and when we did, it was mostly him.

Here, if I don't travel I feel restless. Do you enjoy it? This kind of life, I mean. But you're talking now. It's nice to have that option, when you want to.

That does not surprise me. I take pleasure in seeing new things. More preferable than sitting around. I am but I almost did not. Small talk is not something I do often.

Sitting around is tolerable when there's some kind of purpose, I think. You didn't meet a lot of people traveling where you come from?

I'd still prefer to be active. No, we stuck to the least populated areas.

Since that's what you're used to that makes sense. Is it strange for you to travel here then? Even along the routes there are quite a few people.

[ A shame since that's the tactic Sakura's been using. Maybe she shouldn't have spoken openly about it with her close comrades as she thinks over the text. The name. The text. The name. The text. ]

There's a rumor that Pokemon can learn to communicate with their trainers.

[ He likely already knows of her existence, so why not confirm she's around? ]

[He does know. He saw her on the network when she first posted. And he chose not to respond to it. There was much Sakura needed to know.]

Is that so? I'm not entirely sure I want a Pokemon communicating with me.

[ Are they really going to engage in a normal conversation? Deciding shortly after that she really has no choice but to humor it, she responds. ]

Why not?

[ Aren't these things fiercely loyal? ]

[They really are. She started it and he's following her lead.]

If it turns out to be unintelligent, I'd rather not have to listen to it attempting communication.

[Itachi doesn't know about hers, but his ensures that he stays loyal.]

[ Someday she might think these things through. Find a way to spin loyal Pokemon into Konoha, it shouldn't be that hard of a task. ]

That isn't fair.

You could just teach it to be intelligent or ask around.

There have to be people with proper examples here.

[ Also, Sakura doesn't talk about her Pokemon. ]

[Why bother thinking anything through? Plans never go as intended.]

You cannot always teach something to be intelligent. It would be something to research if I wanted to pursue the matter.

[Don't want to talk about how cute it is?]

I could study it and tell you the details.

[ And there she goes to pursue something on her own while offering to give it to him for free. ~~Uchihas, man.~~ ]

I have no experience so far.

The Pokemon I have is not exactly the best to study.

I would be willing to listen if you did.

[It happens. Uchihas get all the good free stuff.]

What sort of Pokemon did you get?

[And the sky was where he flew in from, once again on Kiyohime as she swooped down to land neatly not far off of the position his cousin had taken up.]

I'm surprised I didn't have to search around a bit more for you.

[He doesn't move back when Obito lands.]

I thought I'd make it easy on you this once.

[He gave him a wry grin, seeming... oddly lighter than last time they'd spoken.]

But only this once, right?

[A lot can happen in a week. Itachi shifts, ruffling Obito's hair.]

That will depend on my mood.

[Sometimes excellent things, yep.]

Ah, of course, how silly. New habit, or was I just one of the lucky ones not to get hit with it when you were a brat?

[He turns to walk over to where he's set his stuff.]

You should ask Sasuke about how I responded when he asked me to do something.

[When they're talking again, that is.]

I'm guessing it wasn't with eager reception in any way shape or form? [Given how he was talking anyway.]

Did you decide to grow up and punk the poor guy?

I teased him. [He won't elaborate on that any more. Sasuke was cute when he pouted.]

We should prepare for tonight.

Weeeeeell, if you say so~! You're right though. So, did you pick a campsite?

Not yet. I haven't scouted the surrounding area. [He grabs the strap of his bag from where he dropped it by a tree and slings it over his shoulder.]

Then we can do that together! I mean, I have to see how much you've improved right? Solemn duty and all that.

Or perhaps I should watch you do it since you're my senior.

...Why do I suddenly feel like you're trying to trick me? [He's eying you so Itachi.]

Why would I do that? [Nope still smiling.]

[Have a nice long stare in turn.]

...

You totally haven't changed a bit. Sneaky.

[He caved though, moving off to go do it anyway.]

I don't see anything sneaky about watching my cousin pick a camp site.

[Now he's just teasing.]

[He waved a hand at him as he picked out a nice open area that looked like it would handle decently.]

Exaaactly. Here looks good to me.

[Itachi surveyed the area and nods.]

It's acceptable.

[His tone was deadpan.] Good to know, because I'm not huntin for another one.

So. Did you ever have anyone you liked?

[He ruffles Obito's hair.]

I had no time for a relationship. [It's not really answering the question though.]

So? Neither did I but I still liked someone. So who was it?
