[He's going to point at Sasuke. THIS. THIS! He doesn't need to have friends to be busy, SEE!!!]

Uchiha gets it. I don't need to have company to be busy. I'm trying to set up something in here. [And while that doesn't make him busy, it's a great excuse to avoid Suigetsu.

He waves his hand at the pair of them.]

Poorly or not, it's an answer. If you're under eighteen and Jello over there isn't, that explains why he has a red token and you don't.

Is that all you wanted? [I can't believe I put on pants for this.]

[liquidate]

In a world where nothing concerns you? Sure, keep trying to make excuses for each other!

(WE'RE GOING TO FUCKING HANG OUT.)

And for the last time, I'm not a jello, I just like jello. (his hair flips with the force used in his turn and he begins to walk off down the hall.) C'mon, Sasuke, Reaper's busy practicing his one-liners in the mirror again.

1/3

[eyeforaneye]

[ Ah. Good. Suigetsu said it so that Sasuke doesn't have to. Defending his teammate's humanity while Suigetsu is actually here seems far harder than doing it when he isn't. ]

[ But... ]

[eyeforaneye]

Don't be ridiculous. There's no way he practices if they come out that subpar.

[hellshot]

[WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU, CAFETERIA BITCHES? He waves his arm at them in irritation, JUST GO, JUST LEAVE.

And then he shuts his door and goes back to enjoying his PEACE and QUIET.]

[liquidate]

They are pretty bad... But I guess that's that.

(shoving his hands in his pockets, hmph.)

I can't believe it's because you're too young. I feel older than ever.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Why does the thought depress him.

Maybe because he's depressed. Maybe. ]

We both know how inaccurate that is. We've both been of age for a long time; don't start that.

[liquidate]

(what's depression???)

I'm probably already getting wrinkles. My hair's gonna go white.

(SIDE-EYES...)

[eyeforaneye]

Your hair is already white and you could smooth the wrinkles at will.

[liquidate]

Yeah, you got it. It's a joke, 'cause my hair is already white. See?

(i wish this was him being patronizing, but he really thinks sasuke understood... just didn't laugh...

supports his choice to stay aloof.)

I wonder what you'd look like as an old man with white hair, hahaha. I'm imagining it and it's the worst.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Please don't ever make him laugh; depression is better. ]

... I never thought about it. I don't expect to get that old.

For you, though, I guess the differences will be minimal.

[liquidate]

I dunno, old man Second got wrinkly. I've seen pictures.

(throwing his hands up behind his head, strolling along comfortably.)

Maybe it just takes a lot time, or maybe I dry up like a raisin.

[eyeforaneye]

Perhaps.

If you make changes in your life you may live long enough to find out. I doubt it, though.

[liquidate]

And what if I don't make changes in my life? What kinda changes are you talking about?

[eyeforaneye]

To be less reckless when you fight, to associate with less unsavory people... Even saying it aloud, it's impossible.

[liquidate]

Isn't it the same for you, Sasuke? That's why we're teammates, after all.

Though I wonder who exactly you mean, if it's not you. (WRY)

[eyeforaneye]

Am I the unsavory one? A Konoha ninja... You're the one that called us all soft.

[liquidate]

There's a ton of definitions for unsavoury and you fit at least five of them.

(chuckling now, a bit madly. at least they're having fun.)

[eyeforaneye]

Only five? Whatever I am, you're double it.

[ There's no matching laugh but this falls under the purview of what little sense of humor he has. ]

[liquidate]

Sooo, associate less with myself? Is that what I'm getting from this?

(it's funny in and out of context... now he's shaking his head.)

That's terrible advice, Sasukeee.

[eyeforaneye]

We aren't the only two options.

If you want a serious answer... associate less with rogue ninja. Re-establish a base for yourself in one of the villages instead. You'd be safer.

[liquidate]

As if Kiri would let me in now. You've got friends in high places, so you can go home after some time, but don't forget that I'm a rogue ninja in my village, as well... I'm after my brother's sword, to boot, and Choujuurou's got it. There's no way the Mizukage would accept that...

Any other village— well, I don't know.

(looks like he has been giving it quite a bit of thought, while refusing to share any details with sasuke. his musings aren't much of a concern. but where do you go when you have nowhere to go? all of his brother's contacts are dead, now, and all that's familiar to him is the nightmare he left behind:

serving orochimaru in some pit again, optimistically on the same side of the glass this time.)

But you telling me to change is pretty funny.
