seventeen crows (朱) voice/action

Jun 13, 2011 16:35

[This afternoon finds one CHEERFUL(?) Itachi walking out of the grocery, a bright SMILE(?) on his face and a full bag in his arms. He's HUMMING(??) something under his breath, a light bounce to his step.

He pulls out his journal casually, sending an unfiltered message to his brother.]

Sasuke. Are you recovering well?

[Katara is heading towards the grocery store at the same time Itachi is exiting it, and she barely recognizes him. They hadn't really met when he was grown up, after all, and she's never seen a ninja besides Naruto smiling quite that bright.

..well. It's a small village. Katara couldn't hope to avoid him forever, and despite the horror of the story Shikamaru had told her, Itachi hadn't hurt anyone since he'd been here, meaning she could probably proceed.

And, quite uncharacteristically for her, instead of an instant overpowering righteous rage to temper her fear and demand a confrontation she feels more - indifferent? - towards the fact that she is about to have to walk right by him or run away.]

[Sharingan red eyes recognize the girl as she approaches, and Itachi's smile only gets wider.]

Hello, Katara-san. I haven't seen you in person for some time.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 14 2011, 04:54:31 UTC

[...that smile is kind of creepy, and she doesn't even know you, man. Apparently whatever effect she's under hasn't messed with her adrenaline.

How does she get out of this?

...okay, lying works.]

I'm sorry, do I know you?

[ action ] yourhatred June 14 2011, 06:19:29 UTC

Oh, have you forgotten? That's all right.

[He bows his head slightly.] I am Uchiha Itachi.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 15 2011, 02:59:36 UTC

[So polite...

It's hard to credence Shikamaru's words when faced with this. But he wouldn't lie to her...]

Oh. You're much bigger. Have you been doing well?

[ action ] yourhatred June 15 2011, 06:09:09 UTC

Oh that's right. We haven't met properly as adults, have we?

I have been doing quite well lately, thank you. Though I'm afraid my brother came down with an illness during the draft and is still recovering.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 15 2011, 06:11:46 UTC

[Blink.]

Your... brother?

[Shikamaru hadn't mentioned Sasuke. Katara had thought he'd killed every member of his family.]

[ action ] yourhatred June 15 2011, 06:16:16 UTC

My brother, yes. He's a fairly recent arrival, but was called in for the draft all the same.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 15 2011, 06:18:52 UTC

They don't seem to care much about that.

[...]

I didn't know you had a brother.

[ action ] yourhatred June 15 2011, 06:20:44 UTC

I supposed I never mentioned him.

At the age I was stuck in when we met, my mother was only pregnant with him.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 15 2011, 06:27:34 UTC

That was a long time ago. [Even if the young Itachi ha mentioned that his mother was pregnant, Katara had assumed...

...experiment effected or not, Katara can't help but dig at this a little. She doesn't believe Shikamaru would lie to her. But maybe he'd been mistaken?]

It must be nice for you to see him again.

[ action ] yourhatred June 15 2011, 06:48:58 UTC

It is, yes.

[His smile falters only slightly.] We hadn't been on the best of terms before.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 15 2011, 18:34:47 UTC

[...] But things are better now?

[ action ] yourhatred June 15 2011, 18:58:10 UTC

[Another pause. The effects of the experiment have to work overtime with this one.]

They are a little better, yes.

[ action ] markofthebrave June 15 2011, 23:17:29 UTC

I see.

[No, she doesn't. She doesn't see. In fact, Katara is very confused.

...but she also recognizes an opening for escape, and she's gonna go for it. She makes to start walking towards the store again.]

I'm glad to hear that. I hope the time you have in Luceti with him is a good time.

[...and that you don't kill him again. Or. Something.

...Seriously, what is going on? She should probably find out. Sometime. Maybe tomorrow. Eventually.]

[ action ] yourhatred June 16 2011, 00:46:19 UTC

I hope so too. It's a good opportunity to start over.

[He watches her turn away, but doesn't follow.]

It was a pleasure speaking with you again.
