[ Horny, conflicted, and Neji, having grown weary of all this perversity, nonetheless withholds judgment for the time being. He feels the truth of his remorse, having listened to this man's (Hakkai) speech on the Hitomi, detected the good in him in spite of the ugliness of this specific dream.

Everyone makes mistakes in life: learning and growing from your mistakes is the key to the matter. Hakkai has clearly grown for the better.

Perhaps he's growing used to this Hitomi.

When Neji speaks to Hakkai, it's approximately fifteen minutes after the broadcast. ]

Who was she?

[ It's five minutes or so later when Hakkai returns from his impromptu bath, toweling off his hair, dressed in a fresh yukata. He sits for a long moment, considering his answer. Perhaps it wasn't clear enough in the dream, but is there any point in keeping it secret when the next invasion of privacy might lay it all out? His own imagination seemed fueled on by the twists and turns of others dreams. ]

My lover.

Also my biological sister.

[ This time, unlike the last time he made such an admission, he does not ask if he is hated. He does not care like he once did, but he doesn't make excuses, either, even when there's a good explanation. ]

[ Neji didn't want to believe it, despite suspecting the truth. The idea hits too close to home. When he closes his eyes and thinks of Hinata and -

No.

She loves Naruto (who can blame her?), and as for himself, the both are utterly taboo. ]

What are you, Hakkai-san?

[ His expression is a quiet one. The young man seems preoccupied with something, but who isn't, in this place? Hakkai only wishes he was more experienced with older students. He tended to teach the young, or at least the emotionally young.

What was he, though? What was this strang-eyed young man asking? Piercing green eyes meet gray. ]

A traveler strayed far from his destination, currently.

[ Neji wonders whether Hakkai deliberately misunderstood his question, not that he'll push it. To do so would be rude, and to hear the man say it out loud -- he's half demon -- will only alienate Neji further.

It's just so hard to break through this repression. ]

You're a philosopher.

[monocled]

[ Has a laugh at that, pleasantly. ]

That's one thing I've never been called before.

What about you, Neji-san? What are you?

[wingedascension]

[ Now that the question's been turned on him, it's not as easily answered as he thought, especially after these weeks of exposure on the Hitomi.

Without hesitation, Neji gives the conventional answer, the one expected of him. ]

I'm a shinobi of Kohona.

[monocled]

[ Just smiles, really. ]

I wasn't aware that shinobi were in the habit of asking such personal questions. ♥

[wingedascension]

[ MISSTEP~! Neji pulls back into shell. ♥ ]

You're right.

Excuse me.

[monocled]

[ It would be unkind to say, but the night's run him ragged and he's glad his comment had the intended effect of shutting him up. ]

Have a nice night.

[wingedascension]

[ His nod is curt. ]

I will~
