Private to Kakashi--Semi-hackable

He does.
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 enough to watch the kids on occasion.

Oh. Lovely.
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.

You did such a wonderful job with managing the house while I was blind, sensei- I think you're more than trustworthy. Obito-kun loves you anyway, and Yachiru-chan's innocent enough. Naruto is your student, so I'm sure you'll manage him well. Id' only be worried if you were taking Lee with you.

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.

I suppose I'm handy enough once in a while.
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.

Knowing Lee, he'd probably have an insatiable curiosity. And knowing you, you'd be prone to using that against me by saying just enough to appear as though you answered whatever question he may have had, while still sending him back to me for further details. Then I'd know who to look for.

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.

Private to Nejii--Semi-hackable

[turn_a_blindeye]

What's to say I wouldn't answer every one of his questions in graphic detail? Someone has to make up for his lack of education in that department, and if I send him back to you, you'll just blush and shush him.

Sometimes you're too smart for your own good, Neji. Both.

Of course, of course. ...I know that all too well.

Private to Kakashi--Semi-hackable

[heavenly_earth]

And then he'd come tell me all about it. That's lovely and just like you, sensei. I am again glad he is not going with you.

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.

Private to Nejii--Semi-hackable

Instead he's staying with you. Where he'll hopefully be much happier with some hands-on education.

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.
