Comments

( august 24th | late evening | voice )

[haruno]

[ oh, where does she even start- ]

Thank you. [ a pause, because there's so much to thank him for, but- ] For saving us. And for the flowers. They were from you, right?

[Voice]

[heavenly_earth]

[It takes him a bit to get to this, because they'd just bedded down for the evening and he waited for Lee to fall asleep before getting back up to listen to the voicemail]

You've all done the same for me recently, Sakura. [Well, Sasuke and Sakura more than Naruto, but he'd appreciated Naruto's support as well] I can't thank you enough for that.

[haruno]

Of course. It's what friends are for, after all.

[ because they are, all of them. even Sasuke-kun, who likely wouldn't admit it very freely. ]

Are you and Lee busy tomorrow? I think that we should all have dinner together.

[heavenly_earth]

[Neji nods, though he knows Sakura can't see. It's just the same sentiment he'd directed at Sasuke. Maybe not friends exactly, but- allies, at least]

Dinner? I don't believe we have any plans. What did you have in mind?

[haruno]

Hmm- I'm sure if I ask Naruto, he'll suggest Oodle Noodle. It seems to be where we all congregate the most, after all.

[ there's a touch of amusement in her voice at that, the end of her sentence verging on a soft laugh. ]

So perhaps there? We can get a table! I think we all deserve a bit of fun.

[heavenly_earth]

[Neji hums, then looses a small sigh. He imagines Sakura and Sasuke must get tired of eating there, but as he rarely grabs anything from there, it doesn't bother him personally]

I can only imagine Naruto in a more formal setting. [No, a nightmare best to avoid, surely. He doesn't want to get kicked out of the places he actually does like around the city]

But yes, that sounds fine. It's been awhile since we've gone out with anyone. I can let Lee know in the morning.

[They haven't had the time for one, and there aren't too many people he could say he'd enjoy spending much more time around]

[haruno]

[ the mere thought of Naruto in a more formal dining place makes her laugh outright, a giggle muffled by her hand, though it still comes across the communicator. ]

Naruto in a formal setting would be a night of comedy, I think.

Mm- Okay. We can plan to meet tomorrow, but if it doesn't work for Lee just let me know and we can pick a different day.

[heavenly_earth]

I'm sure it'll be fine. I make his schedule, after all.

We'll endeavor to instill etiquette into Naruto some other time.

[haruno]

I think we should plan that for next time. You, Lee, Sasuke-kun, and I can plan a nice night out and see how well Naruto does.

[ laughing? maybe! ]

[heavenly_earth]

Next time.

[There's a thread of humor in his own voice as well]
