An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

[He's swallowing much quicker after that.]

What?!

No I ain't! She won't like that!

From:

samantha_grey

You heard me. He gets away with it because we flirt better when we're shouting at each other.

[She sighed.]

Call it a hunch. She will. Girls like to be made to feel like they're special. Well, so do boys usually, but in different ways. Take her somewhere nice, somewhere she might not go every day.

From:

kuramaless

Eh.

[He hates being compared to other people... Especially if it's not someone cool. (You know, like the Fourth Hokage or something)]

Don't think she's ever been to Stride?

From:

samantha_grey

[The Stride? Her head cocked at that and she scratched her chin. Ok, that wasn't such a terrible choice. Roxy did try to keep it comfortable, and maybe they needed something that wasn't so obviously a 'date date'.]

Add a nice dinner, and it might work. It's certainly relaxing there.

From:

kuramaless

Could probably get us free drinks too!

[Maybe he'd been keeping it to himself ~~somehow~~ that he'd scored a job there.]

Where should we go for dinner?

From:

samantha_grey

[If she ever learns the awkward, she's gonna smack you boy.]

Wait, you work there?

Do not take her to Stride. That's like going out on a date in my lab, Naruto. Jeeze.

From:

kuramaless

[HOW WAS THAT AWKWARD???????]

Er. Yep.

Wait, you just said it was a good place t'go!

From:

samantha_grey

[How was it NOT?!?]

It is, but if you work there, you just look cheap! I only ever got away with looking cheap with Emppu because he didn't give a shit about anything, Naruto. Even Genevieve didn't want to go to some place I got for free most days!

From:

kuramaless

[SHE UNDERSTOOD. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.]

Cheap?

But-- if we get drinks for free at Stride we can get more food.

From:

samantha_grey

[Another sigh.]

Wait a couple dates before you pull that trick. When you're asking her out the first time, you're trying to impress her. Get her attention. Later on, you can do stuff like that to get away with nicer things than you can usually afford.

From:

kuramaless

Oh.

[Impressing her. Crap. How was he supposed to do something like that?

Just the thought makes his spine bend whilst he slumps.]

From:

samantha_grey

You think she's special, right? stop looking like this is scaling some mountain. Do something to make her know you want her. Not anyone else, not me. Her. Do that, and if she's got the slightest glimmer, it might just work.

From:

kuramaless

Well. 'Course I do.

[Only now you've got him thinking about it like that, he doesn't know if there's anything he could do to make her realise.

~~Thankfully, he has a weird way with words.~~]

I guess-- we could go get her favourite food?

From:

samantha_grey

Favorite food? Yeah, that's the right idea. Do something that you know she'll like. You guys have worked together for a while, haven't you?

From:

dragonspeak

He might have thought it was a scouting mission, like the one some Travellers went on in Utgard. [He grimaces as he remembers how badly Thiazi had wounded them when they were caught.]

Temari...do you think her disappearance has anything to do with the apple?

From:

samantha_grey

No. I believe Hel in this. I don't think they control the path back that well. I'm not even sure that they completely control the path here. They issue a call, and people come.

And he might have thought that. I'll take it if he did, and that we were just going for something valuable, but not that valuable. It's not as if they know the method. The well itself wasn't even sure of it.

From:

kuramaless

Yeah.

Right.

We were in the academy together-- and then when we graduated we were on the same team. Y'know, with Sasuke?

From:

samantha_grey

Think about all the stuff she used to do to make herself feel better on her own when a day wasn't going her way. Then, do stuff like that. It's a lot easier than you think if you already know her that well.
