001 :: Video

[counterintel]

[Wearing an expression very much unlike his usual composed look, Itachi looks something like he's seen a ghost. It fades to something less frantic, a frown as he tries to figure out how to make the device do what he wanted.]

Shisui. Can you hear me?

[A moment, and-- nothing. He sighs, pressing something else which turns the video feed off, leaving only the rustle of sound as he fumbles with the thing.]

Shisui?

[Another frustrated noise, and he manages at least to end the whole feed.]

[He follows, or more - falls into step beside him, listening intently to the explanations with little to add himself, happy to listen to Sasuke as they walked.]

201.

We have no say in the rooms we are given?

[hebi]

After a month, she's not so picky about where anyone stays. You're free to move then.

[counterintel]

So until then we're to stay where we are. Very well.

Where are you staying?

[hebi]

Pretty much.

My room is 303.

[counterintel]

I see.

Did you move from where she put you?

[hebi]

She moved me and I moved back.

[counterintel]

Stubborn as always.

[hebi]

[Gives a soft snort.] I liked being on the third floor.

[counterintel]

There's something special about it?

[hebi]

Not really, it's just convenient.

[counterintel]

Convenient for who?

[hebi]

Me. Not too high up, it's easier to get around, in my opinion.

[counterintel]

Between the kitchens and the ground floor?

[That-- is a smile.]

[hebi]

I think the kitchens are higher up.

[Though. Yay smile! )o)]

[counterintel]

I see, well I suppose that would be convenient.

[This seems much easier than he thought it would be--]

How's your appetite these days?

[hebi]

[Gives a shrug at that.]

Can't be picky anymore. I eat what I catch or take.

[counterintel]

Plenty of time for hunting, then?

[hebi]

Yeah. There's wolves around, among other animals.

[counterintel]

We should go some time.

[hebi]

I'd like that. [He really, really would.]

[counterintel]

Then soon?

[It's more of a promise than a question.]

[hebi]

Soon, definitely.

[counterintel]

[Is that-- an apartment building in the distance there?]

You can show me how much you've improved.

[Yep, in the last-- ten years?]

[hebi]

[Why yes, yes it is. A building that looks like it belonged in the city at one point, but now sticks out like a sore thumb with how...new it seems. (Even though it isn't.)]

Fine with me.

[counterintel]

You've moved on from boars by now?
