[ 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. ]
it's not good enough, but he can't say that it doesn't please him. )
The benefit is that you could buy another round. The only reason I got sake in the first place is because of the suggestion of an attendant, but I've long since moved to another.
Have you ever done something simply for the sake of doing it? It's like that.
Trying to exploit my generous nature, then. I see. [ cue laugh track ]
I told you that you know me better than most people, which means you should already have an answer to your question. No, I don't do things just for the sake of doing them. I do things because they need to be done.
Right now I'm considering your offer, which is already unusual for me.

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.

( sasuke... GENEROUS... HAH! HAHAHA! )
Don't you think getting to know your old sensei needs to be done? You've got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here.
Who'd judge you for taking it easy with me? Yourself? Because you always were your harshest critic.
