It's just a washcloth. I'm sure they'd spare more than one if they knew we were the strangers who saved their business. But who knows, maybe the owners will hire me to get it back.
I'll confess to the sin later. How does that sound, Reverend?
If you're working for the sake of working, you ought to swing by now. The base is still freezing. Idiots are hogging all the blankets in piles down the hall.
( a steam-blurred picture arrives thirty seconds later. it's true that kakashi's in the onsen, and that the washcloth is made of fine material. showcased on five fingers with the wet centre sagging down against his palm, only his wrist and forearm are visible.
a video follows it.
the cloth is held daintily from its corner and gets dropped into the water where it bloats with trapped air like a jellyfish. it's then given a thumbs-up as it sinks below the surface.
[ The question had been meant to ferret out his intentions, if he wanted to probe for more hints about the future or even if he wanted them to drink together instead of simply enjoy another soak in the onsen. But what he receives? It's sincere without just being straightforward. It's vulnerable, and unlike what he can remember his straight-faced kage saying to him in years. ]
( he was inattentive then. he kept them all at arm's length. because while their existence and proximity turned a canyon in his soul into a hairline fracture, he was still afraid. )
[ No, he can't. Fingers hesitate over his work, attention firmly and completely stolen by his well-meaning, inebriated former mentor. He could shut him down and shut him out, but... ]
More than most.
We're already talking as it is, so what's the benefit to my interrupting what I'm doing and heading in your direction? Tell me you aren't at the specialty onsen.
[ You know. The one they already discovered has power of suggestion properties. ]

A high-quality washcloth is going to cost at least 2000 KRYPTOS. I bought ad space, barbecued meat for Ino, and drinks. I'm tapped.

[ Hm. ]
Why did you message me in the first place?

Working.
[ I believe in breaks for thee but not for me. ]
I'll transfer you the money for the washcloth once you're at the store and you can give me a more accurate figure.

( or is it... father? )
Well, Curate, I'm nowhere near the store. Would you take lightly used if it's decent enough fabric?
no subject
[ Which is still difficult for him to get used to, considering the titles that have already been used for him by people twice his age or more. ]
By "lightly used", do you mean you've already been cleaning your body with it? Ah, no, more importantly, where are you?
no subject
Don't they also call their god "Father"? It seems like a pretty popular title.
As for the washcloth, it's nothing like that. It was on my face and now it's on my head; I'm using up a voucher at the onsen.
no subject
Are you planning to steal it? It goes against the spirit of your assigned "profession", since you're keen to discuss mine.
no subject
I'll confess to the sin later. How does that sound, Reverend?
( i can't call you father, i just can't )
What time do you get off?
no subject
How self-serving... If you take confession you'll have to go through every other sin you can remember as well. If you're ready for that, fine.
Still, there's no set shift for the task I'm doing now. If you're asking me to stop so I can come approve your stolen items, send a picture instead.

I'll try to get a shot of the cloth. Hang ob.

Stand up. Now.
And I do want the washcloth. I'll take three.
WHAT ICON WOULD YOU RECOMMEND
...
wobbles back down. )
Hmm...
Alright, it's not like I'll have any trouble taking a couple more. Three more. I should grab one too.
i... i... i don't know they're all hot noooo
Why exactly are you asking me to join you, Kakashi? What is it you want to do?
don't use any on me either, delete them all
( "why" is easy. saying it is hard.
but now, he's able to think it, let it write itself, and send it uncensored and without hesitation. )
I want to get to know you.

You're assuming that you don't already.

Can you say that I do?
