[Transmission #20 (Winterland)]

[redpaperfan]

[ Around the time the Captain decides to lose the rest of his marbles and tell the ship he's offing everyone, Sasuke took a breather from the recently returned to normal Itachi and any possible conversational heart-to-heart they were having to gather his thoughts in the Enviro-dome. He's been completely engulfed by the heavy cloak he was wearing,

[Will ignore the mouth on his little brother because...well, maybe some of the other kids taught him some words. He's a bit hesitant but none the less worried.]

Sasuke... there's no way out?

[redpaperfan]

There will be.

[ a bit relieved, though it shows more in tone than on his face. ]

Did you keep the suit you woke up wearing when you arrived?

[bloodyfiasco]

Yes.

[He nods his head behind him where it has been set out on a hanger.]

I will come and get you.

[redpaperfan]

[ Things had certainly begun changing between the two of them, hadn't they? Sasuke reflected to himself what this would mean, going forward, for however much time they had going forward. ]

I'd prefer if you look for an entrance, but not enter.

[ Drawing his cloak tighter, mostly for emphasis. ]

There's a chance the Enviro-dome won't let people move freely between it and the rest of the ship.

[bloodyfiasco]

[Yes things were definitely changing. To what exactly, Itachi did not know. This was dangerous, emotions between the two could never occur... or could they? At the moment, he would pretend he was still looking at his younger brother of the past.]

I understand.

[He gave him a stern look.]

I will keep you informed. You do the same.

[redpaperfan]

[ Safer, that pretense, even if Sasuke sees it, and let's it slide - for now. ]

Cross my heart.

[ Sasuke shot his brother a wry look, and the hint of a smile, making his eight year old self look infinitely older. "And hope to die." ]

[bloodyfiasco]

[That look, could it be possible that Sasuke knew Itachi was aware he was himself? Perhaps. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them sharing a small smile. He wasn't dying today.]

[redpaperfan]

[ And neither was Sasuke.

He'd either see you, or he wouldn't. Until then, Sasuke needed to continue his search. ]
