[Chillin back at the apartment]

It seems like Jubei had been napping on the couch while Itachi was out. His eye cracks open at the sound of someone coming in to the apartment.

"...Didn't think you'd be back so soon," he mumbled, voice still heavy with sleep.

[willkill4candy]

Itachi looked over to him as he closed the door.

"Neko-sa... ah, Jubei-san." He offered a nod to him, walking a bit more into the room as he shed his coat.

"...I didn't mean to wake you."

[hastablemanners]

"Didn't really mean to fall asleep, anyway," he confessed. He sat up properly and stretched his back a little.

"You out havin' some kinda Christmas thing?"

[willkill4candy]

"Delivering presents..." Itachi stated, though he felt a faint blush course over his face at that, remembering all of the things he said to other people during the course of the day. It was as if the was so compelled to tell only the truth!

"I have one for you, as well."

[hastablemanners]

Imagine that. "...Really? Ended up gettin' ya one myself. As kind of like a thank you present fer letting me stick around so long. Seemed right."

[willkill4candy]

Itachi offered him a nod.

"...Thank you." he headed to the dining room area, before coming back with a small box. Inside was a scarf shaped like a fish bone. "...Its not much, but... I didn't know what you would like." There was another pause, before he spoke again. "...Thank you for allowing me to add you to the Paw Encyclopedia."

Something like a smile makes its way across Jubei's face. "You must got a lot of faith in that kid if ya think he can keep up with me."

He jumps down from the couch and retrieves a box of his own. "It's heavy," he warned. There was a cast iron frying pan inside. Perhaps it wasn't what Itachi would have wanted, but the cat was of the opinion it was what he needed. No wonder he still looked so thin and sick after his recovery, eating the way he did.

"I don't think he can keep up with you..." Itachi stated slowly, and he took the box. It was heavy. "...Its that I hope with enough training, that one day he can."

Itachi opened the box and inside was... a cast iron skillet. Itachi took it out by the handle, and, the first thing he did was give it a very light swing. It was heavy... much heavier than he thought. Itachi was only of average strength, so he didn't give it another swing. His red eyes stared down at it.

"...A... friend of mine..." He started, "Gave me a cook book for Christmas. I will certainly use this while I learn." Maybe he would also stop eating just sweets. Itachi had bad eating habits... Jubei probably saw him go through boxes of cookies, slices of cakes, riceballs, and tea. Not the best diet, even in a dream world. He let out a slight cough, before bowing to him. "...Thank you very much."

[hastablemanners]

"You better," he scolded, "The way you're eating now ain't healthy for ya."

Jubei chuckled upon opening his own box. "Hey, thanks!" By some twist of fate it was rather like the present he'd saddled some lucky resident with in the Secret Santa exchange. He throws it around his neck, the ends hanging quite long.
