[Gaara's voice seems unusually hoarse and raspier than usual. To Lee anyone who knows him well, this could be taken as a sign that he's either been talking a lot recently, or holding back the need to cry. It's hard to tell really.]

Both of my siblings survived the explosion. I just finished talking with them. I'm glad that they're still like what

Ah, I--are you all right? If you need anything right now, I would be happy to get it for you! You do not sound very...

Oh, I--well, I am not sure, Gaara. I suppose if you were not close...but you should not worry about such things! Please! You will only upset yourself. You are a good person, and whatever you feel or do not feel will not change that!

I'm fine, Lee. My throat is just a little sore from having a very long conversation with my siblings; it happens whenever I talk a lot.

We definitely were not close. And how would I upset myself?

I am sorry to hear that. There's not much I can say, except that I'm glad your two siblings survived.

[hiccup_ninja]

..I appreciate that.

And your siblings?

They're making the best of the situation. They seemed to be glad that I was still alive, at the very least.
