七十九; 「voice」

[sauceytomato]

...Does anyone have a birdcage? This crow is getting annoying...

H-Hey! stop, I don't need a scarf in my own room!

[A protesting squawk can be heard in the background, followed by a flurry of flapping. Fussy crow is very fussy.]

Go warm up the cat, dammit! [Hiss.]

H-Hey--! [Muffled protests before the feed cuts off.]

...Uchiha?

[sauceytomato]

Ah... Hey.

[iceandivory]

It's not going to peck out your eyes, is it?

[sauceytomato]

No, I don't think so. Just...fret over everything I do, considering last month...

[iceandivory]

It's protection then.

[sauceytomato]

Mm. From Itachi.

[iceandivory]

...Of course.

[sauceytomato]

Yeah.

...

Thanks for the help, by the way.

[iceandivory]

I said I would, and I did. That's all there is to it.

[sauceytomato]

...Still. Thank you.

[A pause.]

Will you still visit?

[iceandivory]

...

If you'll have me.

[And that really wasn't how he meant for it to come out - it was supposed to sound a lot more like he was granting a request instead of making one of his own - but there wasn't much he could do once it was out.]

[sauceytomato]

Always.

[iceandivory]

[Hinamori-brand Ultimate Forgiveness Mode activated.]

So long as your bird approves, of course.

[sauceytomato]

I guess we;ll have to see, won't we?

[iceandivory]

...It looks that way.

When the snow lets up?
