Sabaku no Temari | 09 | [In Person/Video]

[suna_bitch]

[Sitting out by the lake, Temari is just staring blankly over the water, Gokudera's hoodie doing next to nothing for warmth considering the snow around her. Pulling her almost bare legs closer to her body, a bowl was sitting beside her, the contents not visible to the camera

[What was that? Someone who entirely ignores the point of why you're out there? Sure. Actually no, it's because of the clothing article. He, not worried by the cold, strides up, happy to stand there and stare, resident uncomfy maker at your service.]

Mhuua..

[suna_bitch]

[Glancing back slowly, she regarded Wonderweiss with a blank stare. She remembered him...from the ship that they were on.]

...What do you want?

[She didn't mean it to be hostile, but she was feeling more than out of her element and...so very alone.]

[aizensrainman]

[Welp.
She didn't swear, throw things, or try to shove things through the hole in his chest. All those things aside, he's happy with that sort of venomy voice.

He shrugs his shoulders, wishing that he was back in the week that he could /talk/, at least some of it stayed with him, but he still missed it. His fingers prodded her face, trying to turn it upright.]

haa..
[Ahuh, that makes sense right?]

[suna_bitch]

[Standing quickly, she slapped his hands away. No one had the right to touch her so freely...Okay, Gokudera did, but he was a special exception.]

Keep your hands to yourself. You're not allowed to touch me until given express permission. Understand?!

[Of course, anyone that knew her well enough would now this was a perfectly valid reaction.]

[Video]

[fortunatefan]

[The bowl. Usually just such an unsuspicious thing, but now that he was looking for his abilities? He just had to stare.
Her.
If this was true, if she had it... He didn't know what he'd do. His smirk however is wide as he turns on the video-feed]

Are you having trouble with something?

[suna_bitch]

[Scowling slightly as a familiar face appeared on her device, she thought about just turning it off.

He stole her friend, she didn't owe any answers to him, not at all. Least of all about her personal life.]

I don't think that's any of your business.

[fortunatefan]

You asked what happened to you.

I humbly think I might have an answer.

[As much as he hated having it. But he wanted to be sure]

[suna_bitch]

...

[Her hands tightened by her side. Dammit...She did want answers, she just hated that they'd be coming from him.]

Then speak quickly.

[in person]

[killer_melon]

[And the moment he saw the feed he grabbed the present he had for Temari from his closet, and after bundling himself up he went outside to her location... greeting her by hitting her in the head with the box, his usualy irritated scowl on his face.]

You're sittin' out in the friggin' snow and your brain froze, that's what.

[And he unceremoniously dropped the package into her lap and took a seat next to her.]

I was goin' to wait for the holiday to give this to you, but if you're goin' to be a dumbass sitting out in the snow like this, might as well give it to you now.

[suna_bitch]

[Looking back as soon as she felt a box hitting her head, she just stared up at Gokudera. She could hear him moving through the snow, she just didn't feel any urge to move.]

...Gokudera?

[Putting her hands on top of the box as soon as it touched her lap, she was more than a little confused. He got her a present? She knew this whole Christmas thing involved presents, but she wasn't expecting one.]

What is this?

...And, I'm not being a dumbass. [She had her reasons.]

[killer_melon]

The one and only.

[He huffed a little when she asked what it was. It was OBVIOUSLY a present... and something he... was very unused to giving to people. He hadn't celebrated Christmas since he ran away from home.

And now Temari just had to call him out on being a good person. Dammit all. Well he would respond in his usual sarcasm. Actions were supposed to speak louder than words, right?]

It's a box.

[And being from a rather nice hot climate himself he did not take well to the more extreme winter months. Winter was for rain to him. Not snow. Snow was something that he could tolerate for the Tenth for a little while. All the other times? Not so much.]

Are too. You know they made indoor heat for a reason. I thought someone from a desert would kinda... I dunno... have somethin' against snow?

[god knows he did.]

[suna_bitch]

[Well excuse her, she wasn't used to getting presents, especially wrapped presents.]

I can see it's a box, I'm not stupid.

[Setting about opening the box, the gift never stood a chance. In a matter of moments, the box was open, and she was simply staring at the coat...he got this for her?

Setting the box aside, she was silent as she pulled the coat from the box, running the fabric through her hands. No one had given her anything quite like this before.]

I'm not out here for my health. I was just... I can't explain it properly, but I can't feel the air like I usually can. I was hoping that maybe if I stayed out her long enough...

in person cuz I'm not sure kenji knows how video works yet

[reversetheblade]

[Kenji has had a day or so to adjust. He hasn't adjusted. He feels deeply unsettled by all of this. It's so out of his comfort range that it disgusts him that his father's sakabato is the only object that he has in his possession that makes him feel at home. The irony of that makes him angry, but what the hell can be done about it? Seeing the girl by the lake, he isn't sure if he should leave her alone or not. He's not in the mood for idle conversation, but he thinks he might go mad if he sticks to himself the entire time. Readjusting the sword on his hip, he makes enough noise to give her advance warning of his presence as he approaches.]

[suna_bitch]

[The snow was a dead giveaway for anyone walking up to her. Glancing back, she makes no reaction to seeing such a new face. She was well used to new arrivals by now, the fact that someone was exploring outside was no surprise.

Who wouldn't scout the area if it wasn't what you were used to?

Looking back out to the lake, the sword doesn't even worry her. She could take him, no matter what weapon he has.]

[reversetheblade]

[Whoever she is, Kenji can tell she's been here for a while considering how dismissive she is of others. Or perhaps she doesn't care about people. He doesn't particularly care one way or another what her problem is, answers are what Kenji is after. His kimono isn't doing enough to keep out the cold, but he endures as he always does.]

The Author brought you here too?

[His tone makes it abundantly clear he thinks the story is as credible as that fortune telling you're trying to do.]

[suna_bitch]

[Was...he talking to her? Not deeming him worthy enough to even look back, she just shrugged slightly.]

I suppose so.

[And she was in no big hurry to leave. She knew what awaited her and was perfectly content to put it off for as long as possible.]

You're new?
