No, it's all right — that wasn't censure for gossip, I'm the one that brought them up. I was just wondering where you got that impression about us.

[coherer]

You guys are around my age and tough as nails, like I see myself as just a kid/teenager most of the time. And you talk like 40yos sometimes.

Less Naruto, more you and Sasuke, but he has his moments. I just figured at that point tbh.

（ wow, rude. ）

I don't think it's a bad thing to see yourself as a kid or teenager... that's one of the reasons we do what we do back home, you know? So that there are children who can grow up in peace.

[coherer]

(sorry gurl)

Yeah, I get it, I think.

ik it's harder said than done, but I hope you guys get to focus on yourselves/your own lives sometimes too. Like not that the kids don't deserve to grow up safe and happy, but we all deserve that.

（ it's funny — he's not saying anything she doesn't already know. nothing that she hasn't thought about, nothing she hasn't been tempestuously furious about. sending children into war is cruel, and inhumane, and wrong. she's lost count of how many times she's nearly died before her sixteenth birthday, and she never saw the danger that so many of her friends had, that kakashi had.

but this is perhaps the first and only time she's ever looked at her own life, and what it meant for her that she was in those situations to begin with.

she doesn't respond immediately — clinics are busy places, after all — but once the moons are in full circuit: ）

Are you trying to tell me I need a vacation, Jonas? 😋
