[ Kakashi thought he was well past caring, and had just about to begin setting to the task of putting the alcohol away and getting more cleaning supplies from the kitchen anyway, to clean up the rest of the gunk in the hallway.

He was entirely ready to just ignore the moron outside, figuring that Iruka would eventually find his way back into his own apartment. But no sooner did he turn and take two steps, did he hear the door to the stairwell open, and before he had a chance to yank his door open and grab Iruka before he took a step into the hallway, the sound of sequential thumps echoed from the hall just as Kakashi opened his door.

For a moment, he was about to worry that Iruka had actually hurt himself, but then he heard it -- the laughter.

What a drunk fool.

Kakashi sighs a withered sound, carefully steps over the stained spot in his hallway, then pushes open the door to the stairs and just looks down at Iruka from the top of the landing. It seems that Iruka had only fallen about five steps-- not too bad, but even still, there's something of a scratch on the chuunin's forehead, and he's probably a bit banged up. ]

I believe your apartment is in the other direction, sensei.

[ Kakashi says very flatly, then heads down the stairs, bends down, and starts to help Iruka up, hand curling around his arm to pull him up. ]
