[ Itachi ate his own brownie. When he tasted it, he was rather proud of the results of his labor. He ate in companionable silence with Kamui as the vampire consumed the brownie, but when he started to speak, Itachi listened silently, taking everything in. ]
[ When it came to the prospect of disdaining someone so much it led to combat, Itachi had his own thoughts and feelings regarding the subject. However, as it was, he had been a shinobi for the whole of his life, and could understand what it means to be face with an enemy.... and have no idea what to do. ]
Hesitated... [ Itachi leaned back a touch in thought. ]
[ Kamui thought of why he might have. While he was still seething with anger at letting Seishirou get away from him, he had considered it was the fact that the assassin was not attacking him or making an effort to.
But the more he thought about it, it had nothing to do with Seishirou at all, but everything to do with....]
...Subaru.
[He was willing to protect Subaru, even if he wasn't his brother. They were essentially the same person. And that's why he was just as protective of Subaru as his was own brother.]
...If it was for Subaru's sake, I thought I could do it. But I couldn't do it at all.
...Perhaps if this... Seishirou... had provoked you with violence here in Somarium, you would not of hesitated. I can't say. [ He didn't know the whole story behind it, so he remained quiet on that fact. ]
...Maybe it has something to do with that, too. I have killed before, but it has to be justified. [But he hated this person wasn't that enough? Wasn't that enough fuel for him to carry out what need to be done? It should have been, but it wasn't.
Kamui crossed his arms over his chest and huffed.]
I see. [ Mixed feelings, there. He didn't want to see anyone meet a fatal end, however, he couldn't help but feel something for Kamui in regards to the predicament. ] ...For now, maybe its for the best.
[ Behind him, Hugin and Munin fluttered around on the couch. ]
[Kamui wasn't so sure, but maybe it would allow Seishirou to either redeem himself (though Kamui wouldn't think anything the other did could be redeemable),or prove that he has every right to kill him. Time will tell for sure.] ...maybe.
[His problem wasn't really resolved,there was no good solutions. However Kamui did feel a bit better talking it over with someone.
He finishes off the rest of the brownie.]...and you? Has everything been okay for you?
...Stock up... [ Itachi looked to his kitchen, then over to Kamui. ] ...That may be a good idea, but... [ It felt a little over-the-top. Then again... ]
...Are you able to see in the dark since... you're a vampire?
[ Asking him to further elaborate would only force Itachi to delve into his own emotions, so the shinobi was satisfied with the answer. It made sense. ]
...Much like the Sharingan's activation... [ He could understand where the vampire was coming from. ]
I was surprised to see it... so I wanted to ask. [ Another small pause. ]
...It was beautiful. [ He needed to appreciate such things... while he was still able to bear witness to them. ]
[ Itachi took the plate, turning around and putting it into the sink. He only turned away because he didn't want Kamui to see that his face might of been turning pink, as he had the grace to be abashed at the compliment. ]
[ Still... the thoughts that ran through his head at the moment were sad, indeed. ]
...I've seen enough Sharingan to last me a lifetime.
Yours are different.
[ Itachi stared at the sink for a bit in silence. ] ...So I like them.

...I've been all right, I think. Though...
...I'm not too sure what to do if it continues to get dark like this.

I don't have a clue to what's going on, but you should be prepared for the worse. I can help you with that if you want.

...Yes. I suppose it's one of the advantages. Vampires are supposed to be creatures of the night.

[ The Uchiha seemed to consider something. ]
On New Years... your eyes started to turn gold.
...Why?

He remembered how he tempted to bite the ninja, and that probably was the reason they started to change. But he wasn't going to tell Itachi that.]
...They change with intense emotion.
[That was the truth, whenever he was ticked off, his eyes were the first to change.]
I try to appear as normal as possible, usually. But sometimes I drop my guise when I'm angered, or something similar.

[It wasn't the first time someone described his eyes as beautiful.But the vampire was humble about the compliment.
He gets up picking up his own plate and walking over to the sink where Itachi stood.]
I like your eyes better.
