((OOC: I know I owe tags--I'll be trying to reply to those tomorrow or Friday. Been busy at work, and now sick. Need some cute to make me feel a bit better.))

the log:

Minato had only been gone for a short while. A couple of hours, at most. He couldn't hover over Knuckles all the time--not only would it irritate the Echidna to no end and convince him that Minato didn't trust him, but Minato had responsibilities that he could not ignore.

He had only been gone for a short while when he opened the door to his old apartment again. It was quiet when he entered the room, which wasn't all that surprisingly considering how much Knuckles had been sleeping. But it only took Minato a moment to see that someone had retrieved his kunai from the warehouse and placed them on the kitchen table.

Minato's eyes widened. "Shit."

A quick survey of the apartment revealed no Knuckles. Nor did looking outside the apartment buildings, down the hall. Which meant he was likely outside. Which meant Knuckles probably left again. Minato had lost him.

He had only been gone for a short while as he half-ran up the stairs to the roof. The ninja needed a high vantage point, or at least higher than ground level. If he was lucky, he could spot Knuckles directly. If he wasn't, then he could at least see some footprints in the snow, even if they weren't Knuckles.

Minato finally reached the roof access, and he was opening the door, and it had only been a couple of hours--

--And there Knuckles was, on the roof, which really wasn't much of a roof anymore after the earthquake, looking at the sky.

The ninja made a strange expression, as if he wasn't sure he wanted to laugh or yell at his friend. "You could have left a note you were up here. Seeing the kunai gave me a heart attack!"
