Itachi was all ready waiting inside the warehouse propped up against one of the walls nearest the only window that had been left open on purpose. His eyes had been closed in silent thought as he tried to remind himself what exactly he was trying to do, here.

It hadn't necessarily been the fact that he felt it was his honestly rightful duty as the older sibling to help his brother, that could never be the case. Itachi all ready felt that he was unworthy of so much as thinking himself an able sibling. He had murdered their parents. Had it not been for him, they would have normally been the ones to deal with these types of situations. At least that's what he assumed. It hadn't been the fact that Sasuke was asking too many questions that he couldn't fully answer himself. He was a murderer underneath it all, he wasn't an expert in romance. Having his age and with what experience he had been given in missions and with certain people in the past and present, it was safe to assume that he knew enough. Let's face it, however.

...He could leave now, if he wanted. All he was doing was sitting half-in and half-out the window, just glancing down at his brother. Normally he was good at hiding whatever it was he was feeling, and show nothing but an impassive mask. Something Itachi almost always did. But this...

Too many emotions were running through him. Nervousness. Confusion. Anxiety, to name a few. Sasuke chewed on his lower lip lightly before deciding to just get it over with. He was the one that agreed to this, after all.

Sasuke took in a deep breath to try and calm himself down somewhat before leaping off of the windowsill and touching down softly on the ground near his brother. He really didn't know what else to say, now.

Itachi watched the boy for a few moments not even bothering to use his eyes to read what the boy felt. It was planted all over his face and the awkwardness of it all was thick in the air around them. He crossed his arms beneath his coat and heaved a sigh. If Sasuke was nervous, Itachi wasn't any better. The only thing the older Uchiha had that the other did was less patience. That's how you get conversations rolling sometimes, with a bit of annoyance to fuel it.

"How do you feel?" It was a basic question, a good starter. He was aiming for the boy to be able to elaborate on his own instead of having to follow up with why.

The question made Sasuke jump just slightly. He glanced up at Itachi, mulling over how exactly he could answer that. Sasuke looked away, and after a moment simply shook his head. Itachi, coupled with Izuna, didn't make what happen any easier for him to figure our or deal with. He was practically lost.

"I...don't know."
