[Action | Mid-afternoon]

[ Nothing to see here.

Just a man with silver hair darkened by rust-colored flecks walking through the middle of town from the underground tunnels in fatigues soaked through in some places with blood. He's got a dirty-looking bandage wrapped around his left arm, a slowly spreading red spot eating its way across the gauze surface. He walks like a man who hasn't slept in days -- shoulders slumped, each step weighted. But even despite the apparent exhaustion, he still attempts to make it look more like a lazy stroll than a tired march back to the apartment he'd claimed as his own in Building 1.

Assuming it's even still called Building 1, and his apartment hasn't been taken over by a new resident, anyway. He's been gone for a while, after all.

Two months is a long time to be on a combat mission, but not anything Kakashi isn't used to. Coming back to Luceti after a mission instead of Konoha, though -- that's new.

On the way back to Building 1 Flame Building, Kakashi stops by the Convenience Store for some more bandages, rubbing alcohol, antibiotic ointment, a needle and thread, some pain killers, and a few packages of instant ramen. ]

[ Video | Night ]

[ Kakashi's looking a little better than he did earlier in the day. First aid, food, a hot shower, a fresh change of clothes, and a nice, long nap does wonders. ]

Yo.

[ Have a two-finger wave. ]

I'm back. Did I miss anything exciting?

[ Kakashi nods.

The determination to win. That much he knows the Allied Forces have in great abundance. But mercy is another story entirely. He can't be certain the kage would be willing to exercise that at all, in the face of what Obito had wrought. ]

I suppose only time will tell.

[endgames]

I'm sick.

[Maybe you could be sympathetic. Maybe he would be moved by your sense of camaraderie, and look for it then.]

[ura_no_ura]

Ah, is that so...

[ Really, Kakashi doesn't particularly care that you're sick, Shikamaru. You could be close to death's door with phlegm coming out of every orifice of your body, vomiting profusely, and he'd still want that manuscript.

Maybe Kakashi should bring Shikamaru a chicken or something, to make soup with. ]

Are you eating alright? I could bring you something.

[yourhatred]

It doesn't matter much to me, honestly. I did not expect this attempt at humor to go anywhere.

[endgames]

[He knows, but he's not above using bribery to get some sympathy. 8|]

Soup sounds great. Bring two bowls.

[Thumbs up at the journal window.]

[sand_lost]

Indeed.

[He isn't good with comfort, and realizes somewhat absently that Kakashi doesn't really seem to want any. Maybe the pain of thinking of a friend's death is a version of penitence that's beyond his understanding.]

I do appreciate the information. There were gaps I hadn't had time to be filled in on. [And while he can't do anything about the war here, he does feel better having those questions answered.

Now all that's left is to worry about this place.]

[believeit]

Ohhh yeah! Okay, I got it!
