[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?

You're late, Kakashi-sensei!

[Where have you been? :c]

[The most important thing obviously.]

Ah... Kakashi-sensei! [There's the vibrant youth - excited to see Kakashi but a little sad remembering the news that has to be delivered.]

You missed the unfortunate departure of Gai-Sensei. Has has returned home!

[Guess who else happens to be in that Convenience Store.

CONVENIENT.

Kushina herself is in the ramen aisle (unable to help herself) and picking through flavors, looking for any leftover salt ramen, when she hears the sound of steps approaching her. She looks up and straightens from surprise, eyes wide.]

Kakashi?

[IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS TWO MONTHS]

[endgames]

I'm dying.

[No, he's just complaining. Which is probably more than evident in his voice, even if he does sound hoarse and sick.]
