2nd Tempest - Temari [Video]
[Temari has been laying low since her arrival. She had taken all the time she needed to readjust herself as well as recovering from the symptoms associated with newcomers. But now that she is completely healed, she will not simply watch all the ongoing without doing anything. She has been out scouting, carefully avoiding trouble but it was limited

Depending on monetary means, there are certain sectors with more accommodating shelters than others.
[He sends her a copy of a map containing the various sectors of the city.]
You need to relocate as well, correct?

Thank you for the map, I'll look through it.
Yes.

As for your specific situation, if you find an apartment in either Sectors 4 or 5, I will pay for your residence.

That's not appropriate. I will try to find a job myself. You need the money too.

[And now he feels confused.] Why is that inappropriate? You are my sister. I will not have you living out on the streets.

[She's older than you for Suna's sake. You think she will accept your money without working for it?] I am not taking your money unless if I worked for it, Gaara. Won't you need those money for your own place too?

[So prideful, big sis~ But exactly the kind of reaction Gaara expected. He and his siblings don't believe in free hand-outs; they earn what they have.]
I recently acquired a new residence. [He is low on money, but can set aside his own needs to help her.]
Must you insist on being stubborn, Temari? [No malice intended with that remark. Being blunt is a sign that things between them are gradually shifting back to normal.]

[He's the Kazekage's sister, she has to work equally hard to assist him. But yes, it was hard-wired into them. Nothing is for free. Especially with a Kage as father. Expectations on them were extremely high.]
Oh? Where? Is it safe? Are you staying alone? [If you didn't expect this barrage of questions, you are not her brother.]
... Then find me a job, Gaara. [You surprises her, in a good way. She feels a little better at the familiar blunt conversation.]

[Stubbornness was also hard-wired into all of them, apparently. XD ]
Don't be so quick to admit defeat. Kankuro would be disappointed, to not have witnessed such a display.
[In proper response to her request, he sends her a document with a list of current available jobs in the city.]
If you are unable to secure adequate employment, I can send you assignments that I receive from my clients.

[Stubborn is part of their genetic. Really.]
Peh, he gets no such luxury.
Who says I'm admitting defeat? [She will definitely be looking through them.] Clients? What do you do?

Dutifully, he repeats.] I am currently living with Sai, a shinobi from Konoha, with whom I share a romantic bond.
He would certainly be envious, I should think.
I started a business, with a similar structure to our occupation as shinobi: completing various assignments based on the needs of clientele.

......since when?
[She grins.] Of course he will.
That sounds good. So, what's my mission? [Of course she's going to self-appoints herself as your assistant/bodyguard. Not like you didn't expect this already.]

Since the beginning of our stay in this city.
[See? He isn't giving out too many details about his relationship with Sai. He has no idea how she would take it. Something is making him stay his tongue - dormant memories that he can't recall - and Gaara has decided to follow his instincts in this particular instance.]
So you don't intend to seek employment elsewhere? [Gaara tries not to make assumptions when that are selfish.]
Reply
I see..
[Probably a good idea. Not because she would be against it but because she is really not ready for this.]
Depends. I will have to pay rent, if it's necessary I will find extra work to cover it. You have to pay for yours as well, correct? [She doesn't want to sucked up all your money. She's a responsible sister.]
