Madara.

It looks as if you have your stars, this evening.

[parousian]

[ Madara is getting dressed, pulling on a crisp red yukata over skin that has seen too much war. Hiding the scars under the cotton. ]

I am looking forward to watching them with you and Naruto... and Konan, of course.

[ He smiles. It is soft. ]

I know you are not very fond of merrymaking and enjoying festivities.

[ Another arm goes into a sleeve, and then Madara crosses over to Nagato, raising his hand up to his face with a gentle caress of thumb. ]

But I do hope you find a way to enjoy yourself tonight. It would please me greatly if you do find some joy in this.

[callmelegion]

I find joy in you finding joy.

[parousian]

Well, I suppose that makes the two of us.

[ Madara's fingers trace a light path down Nagato's jaw, pressing lightly against his chin before dropping down. ]

Have you seen the lanterns yet?

[ He steps away, to retrieve an obi, so he can close his yukata, wrap it properly. ]

[callmelegion]

I have.

In Amegakure . . . as a child, I would often witness lanterns and parade floats in the villages, when Konan, Yahiko, and I went to them. Spring and autumn festivals. We were unwelcome, in those days.

[windsawakening]

Well, you’re not unwelcome these days.

[Naruto sticks his head around the door. He wasn’t eavesdropping or anything, he figures they both probably heard him coming anyway. He eyes up Madara: not fully dressed. Is tempted to find that obi and hide it because he likes Madara not-fully-dressed.

Looks at Nagato.]

Did you like the parade floats as a kid?
