[In Goldenrod, our brave little queen has woken up, and it's her calm face that shows up on Video. But if you're in Goldenrod, feel free to Action it up

Minnie-san!

[Kisame looks more relieved than he realizes.]

First you and then Itachi-san and your husband... It's almost contagious, eh?

[There is indeed a sleeping Uchiha in the background.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Maybe so... but I'm sorry if I worried you, Kisame.

[usedgigadrain]

I would have been more concerned if I hadn't gone through it myself. Was your return home a good one?

[her_mouse_jesty]

... To make a long story short, yes.

[usedgigadrain]

I'm glad it went well.

[He chuckles faintly] I wish I was there, or anywhere but Cherrygrove.

[her_mouse_jesty]

I'm just happy to see you again.

[usedgigadrain]

[A little awkwardly, but he gets it out with a smile.]

Me too.

I think after Itachi-san wakes up, we'll try traveling. I think we're all getting bored.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Good luck on your journey.

[usedgigadrain]

Thank you. See you in person soon enough, eh? I think you'll like Haku-kun.

[The only one of them that gets ~feelings~]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.

[usedgigadrain]

[Chuckling] You haven't met Zabuza yet.

[No longer arguing the friend thing, even he he pauses with an awkward expression whenever he hears it.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

I'm sure I'll like him too.

[usedgigadrain]

[He starts to say something and then shakes his head laughing.]

Well, you like me in spite of my past, so I suppose.

[her_mouse_jesty]

... Is his past... different, too?

[usedgigadrain]

We were raised in the same village, and subject to the same training and lies. They called me a monster and him a demon. We are both traitors to the village as well. We have...more in common than many do.

[her_mouse_jesty]

That poor man...
