I'm gonna keep this one short. I'm looking for a sparring partner. Someone who knows what they're doing and who won't hold back.

Someone who's not afraid of a little blood.

[There's no mention of Sakura, or whether Naruto's search efforts have yielded any results. There's no talk of recent events either. Nothing at all. Perhaps those omissions

[naruto. ):]

Do you think it will truly help?

[Well, there's no point lying to Shirley. :(]

For a while, maybe.

[she wants to hug him. because he needs it, clearly.]

Don't make a habit of it.

I heal fast.

[What he means is: too late for that.]

[child. you are troublesome.]

It will only serve to keep the wounds open.

How's that bad?

[He gets that a lot sob.]

video; what is proper grammar

[thenobledie]

You do not have to suffer your losses forever.

[maybe he should stop that, then!]

video; ....fff I saw nothing. <.<

[couragetodare]

Suffer. I'm not. I'm remembering. It's too easy to forget. You've been around a while, you understand.

[He doesn't know hoooow!]

[QUITE HILARIOUSLY: shirley does understand, though naruto's methods aren't her own. she remembers through guilt. which is worse?]

You carry it like suffering, and you do not have to. But one cannot expect otherwise.

[her tone isn't quite as insistent as before. really, she doesn't want to see him like this. perhaps it shows.]

video; XD <3

[couragetodare]

[Yep, that's worse! Lasts longer! Naruto pauses.]

I don't carry it at all. I don't scar. Can't. [He has nothing to show for it, except for what Atia gave him. Blue eyes watch the Forge more closely.]

Why can't one expect otherwise?

video; ❤!

[thenobledie]

[oh, naruto. a corner of her mouth twitches, her thoughts torn between amusement and exasperation. she switches subjects.]

I think I will visit you.
