seventeen crows (朱) voice/action

[yourhatred]

[This afternoon finds one CHEERFUL(?) Itachi walking out of the grocery, a bright SMILE(?) on his face and a full bag in his arms. He's HUMMING(??) something under his breath, a light bounce to his step.

He pulls out his journal casually, sending an unfiltered message to his brother.]

Sasuke. Are you recovering well?

[All of this is, of course, completely out of character for the ninja and possibly disturbing to anyone familiar with him.]

Perhaps I'll have the opportunity while I'm here. The ocean isn't too far, after all.

[Even if they probably wouldn't be able to get far. He hadn't even thought about this until now.]

[deathsdoctor]

No, it's not. And it's been too long since I've set sail.

...

[Pondering this.]

I'll just have to borrow a boat.

[And by borrow, we mean rob Jack Sparrow blind for a time unless an alternative comes available. It's what all the pirates are doing.

Because Sparrow is, after all, Blackbeard's nakama.]

I wasn't aware there were many boats to borrow.

[Which probably means theft, but this idea doesn't appear to bother Itachi much at the moment.]

Though I wouldn't mind having the opportunity myself.

[deathsdoctor]

[Probably. But temporary theft. Or paying off Sparrow. One of the two.]

There's a couple around. I'll have to look into which ones are seaworthy and can be trusted on the waters.

...

If that's so, then we'll have to do it.

Then I suppose I have something to look forward to.

[One might almost believe the two of them were friends.]

[deathsdoctor]

[One might.]

[Leaning back with a grin.] Guess you do.

[One might.]
