[ Kakashi'd spent his time learning more about Luceti, talking with people on his journal, and exploring his nearest surroundings -- he'll need to get a better map or make one himself -- while waiting for Asuma. They hadn't set a time, not really, so Kakashi'd just kept himself busy until Asuma arrived.

It just so happens to be that he was outside when his old friend decided to turn up.

The sun had just set, leaving the sky an inky blue. And Asuma... well, Asuma looks the same as Kakashi remembers.

They never did get to say goodbye.

Maybe now, they won't have to. ]

Maa, it isn't a party without you.

[ The line is lightly delivered, even as Kakashi's eye softens considerably as he rises from the tree stump he was sitting on with his journal, pocketing the book in his utility pouch, walking over to greet Asuma. He raises a hand, curling it around Asuma's shoulder, giving it a squeeze. ]

It's good to see you.

[ It comes out softer than he meant. ]
