You've endangered yourself for us. You've put other goals momentarily before your own. Since we've been here you've shown some concern for my well-being.
[ Dropping his spoon into his bowl, he looks up. Calling him out on his good deeds... ]
Obviously I'm gonna stick my neck out to keep your ass healthy. Look, Sasuke. I'm sticking around for my own purposes, you help me get what I want and vice versa, we don't gotta make a thing out of it.
[ It comforts himself to say it, but he has always been a horrible liar, by shinobi standards. ]
I see. If it's your plan to be pragmatic then you should be more cautious about risking your life in those kinds of situations. Karin can't heal everything. [ Calling him out forever. ]
Did you wanna get riddled with swords again? How about your chest cavity; did you want that to be blown open again?
[ He presses a hand to his cheek, elbow slamming on the table, making the now empty bowl clatter. Those memories were distasteful. Something sour on his tongue when he thought about it. ] Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, Sasuke.
... Ahhh, we lost that battle miserably, didn't we... I really don't give a fuck if we captured that ghetto piece of shit, we really lost bad.
Something I have yet to experience. [ He reminds him quietly, seeming a little distracted for a moment. It nudges at the back of his mind, really, the possibility of just what it is that will happen that Suigetsu's spelled out for him. Fights. New abilities. The potential both for enhanced knowledge and for the tools they need to take what they truly want.
He's sick of allowing things to happen to him. He wants to craft the future himself, and being stuck here is just... ]
... I'll remember to acknowledge you when it happens. [ Maybe. Sasuke finds it easy to question if things will even remain the same in their timeline, given how it's been misconstrued thanks to this place's manipulation of it. Will they make the same decisions? He sets his spoon down within his finally emptied bowl, frowning. Perhaps he should try to relax, like Suigetsu said.
Even that requires him to focus. ] You won't need to pay me back for the food, then. Or for the fish I'll catch for you tomorrow.
You freaking better, Sasuke, I was the one who found it after all.
[ He's leaning back in his chair, chomping on his spoon carelessly, making little hollow clinks as he looks up in thought. He knows what Sasuke's thinking - typically whenever the guy goes quiet, he's musing about the future, but the frown makes Suigetsu lean forward, letting his chin rest on the table, arms dangling beside him. ]
Y'know nuffin'sh gonna change, righ'. [ He mumbles around the spoon, bouncing it between his lips obnoxiously to tap the wood with it. ] 'Cause 'm not gonna let it. I got goalsh too. [ The utensil clatters out, however, getting saliva on his place setting.
He deadpans at Sasuke, then smiles slowly, wiggling in his seat. ] Yaaaaa, I can't wait! We'll get a big one!
[ As might be expected, Sasuke can't seem to ignore that dirty spoon resting directly on the table. Ugh. So after setting his own bowl in the sink he moves to retrieve Suigetsu's, spoon included. ]
Sit up straight. [ Okay, so maybe he's still failing at relaxing. And maybe he always will. His entire body is one giant tension center. ]
I'm not sure if change is something that I want to avoid or not. [ As soon as he says it he questions it. What's the point of verbalizing something like that? ]
[ Snickering at his orders - what a prude - he does it without thinking, choosing to rest his cheek in his hand, elbow perched on the table.
Was it time for one of these talks now? He had a feeling Sasuke was apprehensive about something ever since he arrived in Discedo, but it was a good thing he did. Instead of Karin or Juugo. Because Suigetsu seemed to be the only one who cared about the bigger plot they all discussed. Sometimes he wondered if Sasuke felt like it was a two person team like he did... ]
I know it's a bitch to stop dwelling on this kinda thing, forgetting about shit that's holding you back from what you really want is the hardest part. But this place is really getting to you, isn't it? A lot of time has passed for you.
[ He leans back in his seat. ] But so long as I'm here, that can all rewind.
[ Sasuke certainly wouldn't be able to disagree that Suigetsu is the best choice for this place. Juugo would be too difficult to control with his chip out, and Karin... well. ]
I know that. I'm counting on it. [ Because life here is far too slow and far too... average. Even with the scientists, the strange happenings, and the monsters, Fortuna is far less demanding a place to live in than the shinobi world. At least if you're one of the two of them. ]
Perhaps I'm just letting my guard down. Though if you want things to return to the way they were, don't encourage me to relax.
If the way that I behave and carry myself depresses you or just pisses you off, you should find another person to speak to as well. I'm not against that, as long as you don't get too attached. And I know you won't.
[ Clearly Suigetsu needs his permission to interact with others. ]

I would say that considering our lack of preparation it went better than expected, though I don't wish to make excuses.
I'm not unaccustomed to losing, though all it does is piss me off. That will make me stronger as well.

Oi, you think I- you know I'd have suggested back home too, Sasuke!

I always end up estranging people anyway, ya know?
That's why we gotta stick together, you and I~
