twenty crows (朱) video

[yourhatred]

[There is a faint mew as the video starts. Itachi has a gray cat cradled in one arm where it seems perfectly content.]

I would like to inquire on current options available for insuring infertility in pets. [Preferably methods that don't involve surgery.]

As far as I'm aware, my world has a sealing technique, but I'm not familiar enough with it to perform it myself.

[He pauses.] I do not wish to resort to anything more primitive.

Comments

[yourhatred]

On that note, I would ask how you've been faring.

If you care to answer.

[endgames]

[Civil conversations still qualify as freaky too, somehow. So there's a pause before he answers, considering.]

I'm keeping busy.

[yourhatred]

[A very safe answer, but Itachi isn't going to press further.]

Good to hear, I suppose. Unless what's keeping you busy has been too... troublesome.

[endgames]

[There's a snort.]

Everything besides sleeping, then.

[yourhatred]

Of course. My sympathies.

[endgames]

How 'bout you? Kitten handling; cultivating that sense of humor. Sounds fun.

[yourhatred]

She's almost not a kitten anymore, which is the problem.

Should I stop? It wouldn't do to throw you off too much.

[endgames]

I think I'm keeping up.

[yourhatred]

I'm pleased to hear it.

[endgames]

Mm. Good luck with that, by the way.

[It's not like it's a subject he'd have any advice on, so.]

[yourhatred]

Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement.

[endgames]

[He nods at the journal. And yay for awkward conversation lulls. After a few moments though, he decides to go through with it and puts a filter up.]

...when you're up for it, we should have another game of shogi sometime.

[It's said carefully. Because of course, a good game isn't all he's after right now.]

[filtered]

[yourhatred]

...I agree.

It will do me some good to socialize, if only a little.

[filtered]

[endgames]

Hm. It's worth a shot.

The library's a good spot for it.

[filtered]

[yourhatred]

Agreed.

[There's that slight smile again.]

Whenever you think you might have the time, feel free to let me know.

[filtered]

[endgames]

[He needs to talk to Sakura first. Maybe Naruto.

Then again, there's another subject entirely he could approach, but that's a different matter altogether. And only half as troublesome...

It's tempting to abandon it all together for a regular game, really. But he drops the air of seriousness and grins as well.]

You'll hear from me.

[filtered]

[yourhatred]

I look forward to it.
