accidental video post :: all I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air.

[The feed opens with boxes on Kakashi's bed. The sound of a fire crackles somewhere off a ways, like he's created a small one in a bin in his own room. Kakashi moves about, transferring books from his shelves into the boxes as one of the cats nosily peeks into the box and follows his movement. When Kakashi speaks, he's talking to himself.]

...need to find a carrier for you guys when this snow lets up...

...can't put away any clothes. I might need those.

[He glances at the PCD, and then does a short double-take.]

Hm. Figures...

Oh. Um. So when it stops snowing... you're gone?

[turn-a-blindeye.livejournal.com]

Probably not 'gone.' Just leaving the household.

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[turn-a-blindeye.livejournal.com]

Don't be. It will be better this way.

No, it won't. Not if things don't work out with Neji. But that's one of the reasons why you're stressed, and if I wasn't here, Neji wouldn't be as upset as he is.

I could leave. I've made some friends. I'd just want Shiori-visitation-time. I want that if you still leave.

Tenten. Teammates stick together. You and Neji and Lee have more familiarity with each others temperaments, and a stronger bond, and therefore more of a chance of making it work than I ever could. Don't leave.

Neji would have gotten mad at me for something sooner or later. It was inevitable; I'm sorry you and Lee got caught in the crossfire.


Yeah, you can still see her. You can take her for a walk sometimes.

Lee's acting like I betrayed him by not telling him. Neji... I don't know how his convo with Lee went, but it had to go badly if Lee came to me to find things out after.

At this rate it will soon just be me, Neji, and Lee here. You might wind up with me visiting a bit.

[A sigh, then a long silence.]

Damned if we do, damned if we don't. I'm sorry, Tenten. I should have never burdened you with that information.


I'm sure Shiori will be pleased at that.

I asked, Kakashi. You didn't have to tell me, but I did ask. And then I went and had bad timing with it. Don't blame yourself. Besides, I'm resourceful. I'm sure I could have found out some other way in the end.

[The tired tone switches to a slightly teasing one.]

Oh? Just Shiori? Well, I'm glad that someone would at least be pleased.

It doesn't change the fact that I put you in a position where you had to make a decision whether or not to reveal that you knew.


[He too turns teasing.]
Dogs are so easy to please, hm? I'm sure if you brought me treats and took me for walks, I would be just as excited.

Either way I would have been stuck in an odd position. Because you told me, this wound up coming out now instead of on Sensei's birthday. Which is when Lee would have found out. Alphonse gave me the posts for when Sensei was here, and I didn't read the replies to them until after Lee reacted to one in a later post.

[There's a quiet chuckle.]

They are. Would you be? Unfortunately, they don't make nicely-labeled human treats. That would take more work. I'll think about it. Walks though... Walks I can do.

[Private // Unhackable]

[turn-a-blindeye.livejournal.com]

I apologize regardless.

...Though, if you still have that data, could I have it sometime? The posts from Alphonse, I mean.

[Damn inability to lie takes all the fun out of his teasing vague "maybe~" replies. I keep forgetting he's supposed to not lie!]

Well, not as excited, no. Pleased, though. A walk would be nice.

[Private // Unhackable]

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

Accepted and forgiven.

Yes. I saved it to my PCD; I have all five messages from Sensei, as far as Alphonse knew about.

I'm sorry! I forgot not to ask questions, I was just talking... But I'd be glad to walk with you.

[Private // Unhackable]

[turn-a-blindeye.livejournal.com]

...Thank you.

Only five? ...Mm. Well, whenever is convenient for you. There's no rush.

It's fine. Not the worst truth I've had to speak so far. But alright. A walk it is, then. Sometime when the weather is kinder.

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Yeah. That's all I got. If you've got more we could turn it into a sort of trade. There are two from February, one from March, one from May, and one from July. All last year.

N-no questions, right. Not asking. I'll look forward to it.
