I was only planning on making curry that night as well as giving him a gift of some sort for Thursday, but I wouldn't mind a few hours alone with him- for dinner, perhaps. I would not, however, exile everyone from the house for such an event.
...Would you know where to find some more candles- more decorative ones than the ones we have?

Curry, hm? You sure that's wise?
But for "dinner," yeah, I think I can buy you a few hours alone. Since you don't want us to go out, maybe we'll have snackrifice in my room or something. I'll do my best to keep them out of your way. Just don't...start anything on the dining-room table, hm? Save that kind of thing for the privacy of your room.
Aw, a candle-lit dinner. That's very sweet of you.
I think I may have seen some candles at the craft supply store. I'll go have a look and pick some up. Preference on color (green?) or scents, perhaps? I doubt there's a curry scent...and I think they're all likely rated G, too.
You know, on the subject of gifts, I've been meaning to ask you what you think Lee might want for Christmas. You too for that matter. Obito's making a list.

You wouldn't be forcing us into doing anything. I'll just...suggest an outing. I'm sure they'd go for it, especially if snack food is part of the deal.
Hm...even you might, if the mood was right. And it sounds to me like you're setting up the right mood...
...I see. Well, you two enjoy your evening together and make the most of it. If you decide you need more time together, I suppose I can keep the kids occupied one or two nights every once in a while. You don't have to be so bashful, either, Neji. Hold hands more often. Kiss him. We're not complaining. It's actually nice to see. But I think Lee understands you're busy ( ... )

Well, Kakashi-sensei, you make a marvelous babysitter, then. Enjoy your outing with the kids.
I happen to possess self-control, sensei. I will not allow things to get out of hand.
That's entirely generous of you- it nearly makes me suspicious, but I accept, nonetheless, and I may ask it of you sometime. It's not that I don't want to- I just...hold back and I'm not sure why. For Lee, perhaps I will try harder.
Soy is more than fine.
Yes- well- it was a suggestion. You're better off asking Lee what he would like rather than myself.
Obito-kun is also a shinobi, though he is one of the few that acts his age. Perhaps, with the lake steadily freezing over, I will locate a pair of skates to fit him. I will just have to find a reason to ask his shoe size- unless you know or can tell?
I'm not going out and getting you more pornographic novels, sensei- someone may think they're mine. Anything else at all that would be more appropriate? Though if you have your heart set on it, we'll see if I can manage it. You are being kind ( ... )

Hardly. I'm actually surprised you're trusting me with them. But we'll have fun.
If you say so. Though letting go of self-control once in a while could do you some good.
Hm. Good. ...You hold back too long and you'll be holding back for the rest of your life.
Maybe I'll do that.
He doesn't have to act like a shinobi all the time, though, especially not while we're here. I can check his shoes and get back to you, how's that?
Porn's about all you can get me. Besides, if they see you with it, someone might think you've actually lightened up a little. Would be good for you.
And it's my pleasure.

Are you speaking from a purely philosophical view or from experience?
It doesn't mean we should neglect our training, however. Yes, thank you, that would be useful.
I see. Perhaps I will, and is that an insult? No- you'd call it a suggestion. Maybe I'll have such a chance from now on.

Afraid of what I might say to adorable little Lee? I'm sure he has plenty of ideas on his own, and somehow I doubt he's as shy about these things as you are (just naive).
Which version of the advice would you be more inclined to trust and follow?
We won't. But he's allowed fun too.
Good. It's a good suggestion, too.
Reply
Dodging the original question, sensei- or are you really asking my opinion?
I never said he wasn't. He has determination of his own as well though.

Sometimes you're too smart for your own good, Neji. Both.
Of course, of course. ...I know that all too well.
Reply
I'll take that as one of your odd compliments. In the matter of opinion, old wives generally know what they're talking about, but hearing of someone's experience is more solid and believable.
I'm sorry- I'm sure you do.
Reply
Then it's from experience.
Don't waste your time holding back or running from things. You'll get nowhere and be dissatisfied with it, and if you ever do decide to change...well, it's considerably harder to teach an old dog new tricks. So start early. This seems like as good a time (and place) as any, and I think you'd agree that Lee's worth it.
