[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.]

Comments

[jikogisei]

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

We should prepare for tonight.

[itsjustdust]

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

[jikogisei]

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.]

[itsjustdust]

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

[jikogisei]

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

[itsjustdust]

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

[jikogisei]

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

[itsjustdust]

[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.]

[jikogisei]

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

[Now he's just teasing.]

[itsjustdust]

[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.

[jikogisei]

[Itachi surveyed the area and nods.]

It's acceptable.

[itsjustdust]

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

So. Did you ever have anyone you liked?

[jikogisei]

[He ruffles Obito's hair.]

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

[itsjustdust]

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