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

[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.]

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.

[jikogisei]

That doesn't sound very exciting.

We weren't close.

[unended]

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.

[jikogisei]

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.

[unended]

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.

[jikogisei]

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.

[ text ]

[unended]

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?

[ text ]

[jikogisei]

I'd still prefer to be active.

No, we stuck to the least populated areas.

[unended]

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.
