[An Uchiha's kid, certainly - although irritated with her partner for the event, Rin hasn't really bothered to fill him in yet. She picks Renzo up when he scrambles over to her and lifts his arms silently to be picked up, and snaps at Sasuke.]
It figures you'd be useless. Too bad this place didn't just leave me alone again.
[She supports her kid with one forearm tucked under his bottom and the other around his back, and stares at Sasuke. Who'd have guessed Itachi's brother would be such a pest?]
It's happened every year since I've been here. I'm not sure about before that. We're given these kids to keep for a week, and after that they disappear again until the next year, and no one knows where they go... [Stops the speculation; she doesn't want to upset Renzo. She runs a hand over his dark hair absently.] He's not yours.
[sheeee... is clearly made uncomfortable by this question. Rin glances away from Sasuke somewhat, smoothing her fingers over Renzo's soft feline ears.]
... How much... well... that is to say, there've been other Uchiha here before... besides you and your brother.
So that's why-- [he frowns for a moment, because for one he doesn't remember this and lastly because he's trying to figure out who it could be] ...I'm paired with you for this, this time?
[okay, well that sort of explains this. except for the way the kid looked, but does he really want to even ask? Sasuke is silent for a moment before he replies]
[Rin looks down, ruffling at Renzo's hair and glad she got away without having to mention Madara. Renzo himself keeps throwing quiet, softly curious glances at Sasuke. He's an even-tempered and patient little boy.]
I'm sorry about all this. I know it must be kind of a shock, and you're not really getting any say... but Renzo is a good boy. [Renzo blinks at his name, still watching Sasuke patiently.] He's pretty quiet, as you can see. And he's smart.

Fine. I'll help out if you fill me in on this, at least.

What do you want to know?

More about this situation, obviously-- from what you said before, this isn't the first time this has happened.

[Sasuke glances over at Renzo briefly. While this was weird, well maybe he could deal with it for however long this did last] Yeah, I can see that.

Do you want to hold him?

[he hesitates a bit, because this still so weird to him] ...Alright.
