Has anyone got a minute?

[There's a rough quality to her voice, though it doesn't waver. She uses voice, as she usually does, but this time for a reason. She does not want to use video. She can keep her voice steady but she can't hide how red her eyes probably are right now.]

Just to... talk. About anything, really.

I'd appreciate it.

If you need someone to talk to, I'm pretty good at listening.

[ voice ]

[sucker_punches]

I'm... looking more for a conversation.

[A distraction, she means, from her problems.]

[ voice ]

[heartbetween]

Ah...all right.

[he can work with that. A tiny pause while he thinks of something to say, and then]

Have your injuries healed, Sakura?

[ voice ]

[sucker_punches]

[Good pick, Kaien.]

Yeah, I'm basically fully recovered. I've started training again.

[ voice ] ffft, ihu lj

[heartbetween]

I'm glad to hear that. [It's sincere, not at all a platitude.]

How's that going? The training, I mean.

[ voice ] Oh gdit not this again

[sucker_punches]

Slow, at first. I'm trying not to push myself too hard.

[ voice ] /kicks it forever

[He nods, unseen]

That's good. It's important to ease back into things after you get hurt.

[A minute pause]

Hey, you train at the dojo, right? Maybe we can train together sometime.

[ voice ] That might make it worse!

[sucker_punches]

Trust me, I know that better than anyone.

[Medic, after all.]

Yes, I do. I'd like that!

[ voice ] Or better? : D

[heartbetween]

It's settled, then. I haven't had a good workout in a while.

What times are you usually there?

[ voice ] Or somewhere in between~

[sucker_punches]

I hope I can give you one, then!

Whenever I'm not working, or on Patrol [Or training with Itachi] usually. I live right above it.
