[Was the man serious? ...Ah but Tyki remembered this one's dream. A fractured mind at best, a strange outlook.]
[This was the kid who couldn't even get sex right--no that was inaccurate. Half the population seemed unable to get sex right, assuming you believed dreams.

My my, where to begin? I'm not going to suggest sex, seems a dangerous subject in these parts, but there's two dozen things I can think of off the top of my head that someone could use for stress relief.
There's the classics; drinking, gambling, carousing. Then there's more academic, a good book, a lively debate. Maybe if you're the woodsy sort you could go fishing or hunting, and of course there's all sorts of substances other than alcohol to relax the mind and open the senses.

I do not know where you suppose we could acquire most of those things in this world. There are no gambling or drink houses, and if there are books beyond these scrolls that are in each home, I have yet to encounter them.
[ And when Itachi thinks about it like that, he supposes it actually is somewhat tiresome. He had been fond of reading. ]
I have already fished and hunted. It is a necessity here. I do not equate that with activity that is meant to . . . stimulate.
For gambling you only need two people--it's always fun with more of course. As to drinking, well, you have me there. That's tragedy and I fully sympathize with any man or woman who decides a murderous rampage is better than another day without a drop of the old dram. But books. [He shrugs.] Have never been my forte.
See that's the problem, if you look at things as necessary, it takes all the fun and joy right out.
It's probably a long shot, but is there something you already know you enjoy?
I bet. [A little bit of dryness in his tone of voice, though he isn't quite sure of what to make of this one, yet. Generally speaking those who'd take his view on art without feeling disgusted were not 'delicate', however.]
Perhaps you should consider removing it, [he says with a deepening curve of his lips as a wild vertigo hits the scenery behind him, his hair momentarily floating in the air, weightless.]
And then again, who am I to judge the content of other people's dreams? Still, it's an unsettling sight, seeing in people's heads, lots of skeletons that should stay in their closets.
So how would you suggest on occupy themselves away from the minds of others, miss?
A false observation. Not all of the inhabitants of this world gets excited by blood. If you are going to judge by the surface of what dreams show you ... then clearly, you are very mistaken. Kindly do not judge so harshly.
[No, not amused. Unamused. Not smiling. Really now, this guy ...]
[Tyki on the other hand, has a hard time not laughing at Iruka's seriousness.]
Really, with the frequency of violence in these dreams, how can you say people shouldn't be scared? Maybe the dreamers are perfect saints, but it's a bloody and frightening way to be introduced.
[He's teasing but his expression is deadpan enough it's difficult to tell. And the next part is a lie, primarily because his "niece" is a vicious murderous sadistic loli, but he sounds quite serious and concerned.]
In fact, I'm glad my niece isn't here. These are the sorts of things could really be terrible for kids to see.

It is almost as if this video is aimed at him -- though that is an irrational thought.
Stress. Take a life. Say hello. What is this man talking about.
Far healthier ways. ]

Oh yes, I'm very delicate. Weak heart, you know. [It's really hard to tell if he's bullshitting or serious.]

The picture is jerky - he's moving - and there is a variable backdrop of trees and greenery.]
Looking for someone to cheat at cards, Tyki-san?

I'm naught but an honest man, looking for a friendly game.

[There's a pause then and he stops moving. The amusement has not vanished and there is a brief glitter of teeth when he looks fully into the hitomi.]
Take care who you try to steal from, Ijin-san.

So a lot of people are probably avoiding the Hitomi things if they don't like what's on it.
