voice post :: I was dead, what's your excuse?

So, Neji...I hear you're doing better now, hm?

[If he's still displeased about the circumstances that led to you being hurt, Neji, he doesn't make it clear with his voice. And sorry. Like asking Anko and Gai to the Masquerade, Kakashi's pretty lame at asking people out, even on very-much-not-a-date outings.]I seem to recall something about an

Happy late anniversary if that is the case.

[turn_a_blindeye]

Thank you.

Ironically, you were one of the first to greet me here, Ginia. You...probably don't recall that anymore, though...

[shadedsunlight]

I'm sorry, I don't.

[turn_a_blindeye]

No, it's alright. You aren't the only one to have come and gone from this place. Plenty of memories have been lost. ...I'm actually amazed at those of us who have anniversaries to celebrate. We're...anomalies, or something.

How are you? It's been quite a while.

[shadedsunlight]

The lucky ones.

Me? I've been well. You? Aside from... sorry. Not my place to say.

[turn_a_blindeye]

...Maybe. Sometimes it would be easier to wipe it all clean, I think.

Glad to hear it.
Seems to be fairly public knowledge at this point, so that's fine. Aside from that, I'm well enough. This place has plenty of good medics.

A fresh start for everyone... I wonder what bonds would remain and which ones would vanish.

People were concerned. And yes, this place does, something we should be thankful for.

...So, an anniversary? I'll send over a bottle of your choice.

[turn_a_blindeye]

Sadly, now that you say that, I could see that being the next event the Animus hit us with. Some of the bonds would return, though, with time--they were based less on circumstance, and more on common goals and ideals. ...Or maybe it is all chance, who knows?

I didn't mean to concern anyone, nor for it to be quite so...public. But yes, medics like Unohana and Sakura are really something to be grateful for...

Thank you, Ginia, but you don't have to do that. [Chuckles] Neji doesn't really strike me as the drinking type. Maybe a toast, though, if I can persuade him.

[shadedsunlight]

That does sound like exactly the kind of thing the Animus would hit everyone with. Chance, natural human interaction, maybe a little bit of fate tossed in there. Who knows.

As silly as it may sound, I hope you're feeling better.

I don't have to, but I want to. Consider it a gift from the local bartender. I can even send over a nice bottle of water if you wish. It'll be cold.
