Sasuke : My scars remind me that the past is real
*With a sour look, Sasuke heads into his room, closing the door behind him but leaving it unlocked -- because even if he doesn't want his mother to see his current state, he can't bring himself to just lock her out. He pulls off his shirt as he heads over to the bed, his movements as easy as usual, but he allows his step to lag a bit -- something he'd been hiding while he was out -- and as he finishes undressing, the cause can be seen in the form of some slightly bloodied gauze wrapping from his thigh almost to his knee. It's not the most professional job, but he knows the very basics, at least, and it's gotten him by*
*Frowns at it; it's been a week since he received it along with several other minor injuries, all of which have more or less healed, so why is this one still so fresh? His guess is that Orochimaru's regenerating ability hasn't had to heal something this deep in Sasuke's body before -- as it is, perhaps it's still adjusting to its new host*
*In an offhand way, a teensy, tiny part of him nearly almost kind of thinks about wishing that Kabuto was here, because at least the bastard would have healed him without any questions, the main drawback to Sasuke going to Sakura or Tsunade, among other reasons*
*Whatever the reason, the cut's still there, and he takes care to lie down on his left side as he pulls up the sheets, tired but already knowing he can't sleep*
[ooc; Sasuke's still recovering from/sleeping off his battle with Deidara from a few days before. Although his stolen natural healing ability has cleared up most of his injuries, there's still some light scarring on his face and back that makes it obvious why he's been bedridden and all but disappeared. The door's unlocked, so feel free to follow him in/bug him/show concern/laugh at/question. Just don't expect direct answers or a good mood, and Sakura reserves the right to healing what she will. :D]
