[Orochimaru might be smiling, but his gaze is cold. His voice, when it comes, is soft yet deadly.]

Well, now. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

[There is the slightest stiffening of his shoulders. However, he quickly relaxes. A little of his usual humor leaks back into his tone when next he speaks.]I have some catching up to do. So many new faces.

I'm not certain about anything with you.

[snakeinpants]

Oh, now. Surely you haven't forgotten our discussions so quickly.

[sequincy]

I've moved past them.

[snakeinpants]

Such a shame. [Well aware this isn't true as his gifts are not easily forgotten.]

[sequincy]

Welcome back, in any case.

[snakeinpants]

Of course. And if you are interested, you know where to find me.

Of course. But for it to be realized he must overcome his limitations. [Or have them overcome for him. That is to say, Orochimaru couldn't agree more.]

[Speakin' Mayuri's language, Orochimaru~

His lips curl into a smile.]

The thought has occurred to me.

I did give him a gift before I left. It should have increased his power substantially. [In addition to ensuring loyalty to Orochimaru through physical means, the curse seal provides the wielder power.]
