The Hospital is coming along really well, thanks everyone!
... Sasori, thank you for the tea the other day. I don't remember if I actually said so at the time.

[Deep breath, and then very tight and annoyed.]
Thank you for not leaving me in the middle of nowhere, but did you have to drop me off with him? And for that matter, that was completely unnecessary.
[Oh the names she wants to call Itachi. Admire this restraint.]
What I did won't hold, not for long, and your condition is horrible. But you don't need me to tell you, do you? You know. Why didn't you say anything?! I can help! I bet Miss Zelda could have too, if you'd told her... How long have you been here, with that going on!?
[A slight growl.]
Nevermind, it doesn't matter. I know now. I can help if you let me, but I can't cure you. It's too much of a mess.
[Grumpy medic is really, really grumpy.]
[Private to Naruto]
Naruto?
