[When the PCD turns on, the first thing in sight is Naruto - It's clear he's distressed, wide, expressive eyes stare, and his mouth works for a moment, fingers mashing on buttons on the device itself.]

[Coordinates. Katara won't bother answering on video -- she'll just show up about half an hour later with a basket of snacks.

She doesn't knock, instead just slipping inside.]

Naruto?

My mom died when I was eight.

[She's still looking at the peach. She knows it can't have been easy; something horrible must have happened if he'd lost them both on the same day.]

The last thing she did was tell me to 'run.' She lied to protect me, and that's why they killed her. I know it sounds pretty stupid, but I beat myself up forever.. I always felt like there was something I could have done to make it different.

[And she drops some peach onto the napkin.]

Bet she was proud of you, huh? Getting to see you, grown like this.

[He looks up the minute she shares that, watching her cut the peach whilst the apple finally finds a home in his mouth.]

You were eight though-- I mean, you knew her and stuff...

[Even whilst feeling sad-- he still manages to talk with a mouthful of apple.]

Maybe-- I think so... She said so. She liked meetin' everyone.

Yeah. I was pretty lucky.

[And she starts on the bread.]

I bet. And she was proud of you - she wouldn't've said so if it wasn't true. You're a really good guy, Naruto.

No-- I meant... Well... I mean surely that's harder?

[Clearly he's giving this too much thought-- enough that it actually hurts his head.]

Hn. Yeah. She said she was proud an' stuff.

I know it's not easy, Naruto. I know it can't be.

[She pushes a piece of the bread at him, as if saying eat.]

But at least you have something, right? And I know you won't forget her.

[He takes the bread, picking it up in one hand and tearing the smallest bit off absent-mindedly popping it into his mouth.]

Yeah. I guess, you know. Makes me not wanna go home. No one told me, yanno--?

[offline] kyasdaughter September 13 2011, 04:24:50 UTC

Is this the place she'd want you to be, though? Here, in danger all the time...

[offline] thelonegenin September 13 2011, 16:18:58 UTC

No-- course not. I just...

I miss her.

[offline] kyasdaughter September 14 2011, 00:25:37 UTC

.. I know, Naruto. But it's okay to miss her.

Are you going to carve her name in the tree?

[offline] thelonegenin September 14 2011, 20:39:32 UTC

... Tree?

[offline] kyasdaughter September 16 2011, 20:49:54 UTC

There's a tree that some of us carve names into. Of the people we care about that we've lost, I mean.
