a hawk in training;

[See Sasuke. See Sasuke with a snowball in his hands, tossing it up and down.

And then just smirking into the camera.]

Snowball fight, anyone?

[Why no, he's totally not a little fatigued from his recent venture out, why would you ever think that...]

[The feed starts as Sasuke knocks the PCD over, and he seems to be struggling with getting something under control. There's definite curses and threats coming from the shinobi, and eventually the PCD will show him struggling with what seems to be a fish with a pink belly. After a moment, though, comes a bright flash and the brief chirping of what seems to be birds. When the light fades, however, Sasuke's struggles seem to have stopped. He's won the Man vs Fish war.

Letting out a breath, Sasuke turns to pick up his PCD, stopping when he realizes, oh hey, this thing is on again.

Blink.]

So, uh. Anyone know how to stuff a fish?

[Yeah that's not an awkward question at all.]

[It’s quiet by the outskirts of the city where a rather large rabbit grazes in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees. It’s not very still though, but only Sasuke would know that--

Until the feed shakes begins to shake just enough to be noticeable. A moment later, it spins, as if falling only to thunk as if in the palm of someones hand and still. There’s a voice, and for the owner, it’s unusually hushed.]

C’mon Sasuke-- you’re takin’ forever.

Shut up, dobe, you’ll scare it away. [Sasuke’s not paying attention to what Naruto’s doing, just watching the rabbit with crimson eyes, just waiting...

Waiting....!]

A little too long... and Naruto is loud. ]
What are you waiting for, Teme!?

[The voice is enough to startle the rabbit, which looks up before dashing off into the bushes.]

Aww maaaaan, You scared it away’ttebayo!

That was you, not me! [An exasperated sigh leaves Sasuke as he simply drops the wire he was holding, which had been connected to the trap.]

Usuratonkachi.

SHUT UP, TEME!

[The PCD falls-- just in time to catch the swing of orange arm toward Sasuke.]

Absolutely no one is touching Toushirou without going through me first.

[It's frantic — panicked and soft, and quick and in denial. A little crazed, and breathless. Exhausted.

It's something you'd never expect to hear out of Sasuke, really. But maybe so, considering how much he hung around a certain group of people.

It might as well be a little disturbing nonetheless.]

I'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorryi'msorry—

[A choked sob, a forced intake of air—]

I'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanakumai'mnotanaku—

[End feed.]

Did I end up having a really good dream or was Kakashi actually here?

[Sasuke can be seen fiddling with his scarf. He has bandages around his head where he had been cut, but other than that there are no signs that Madara had even done anything to him. Someone's got his luck back.]

Anyone else get red? Just curious.
