seventeen crows (朱) voice/action

[yourhatred]

[This afternoon finds one CHEERFUL(?) Itachi walking out of the grocery, a bright SMILE(?) on his face and a full bag in his arms. He's HUMMING(??) something under his breath, a light bounce to his step.

He pulls out his journal casually, sending an unfiltered message to his brother.]

Sasuke. Are you recovering well?

[All of this is, of course

[yourhatred]

Alright.

[And Itachi just smiles again, the matter apparently resolved, and returns to his meal.]

[yourhatred]

[That's an unexpected question, but then he doesn't mind a bit of conversation over their meal.]

I've been to the shore and some ways out into the waters, but not far. I'm afraid most of my duties were situated inland.

[Even what time was spent in the Village Hidden in the Mists.]

[yourhatred]

Perhaps I'll have the opportunity while I'm here. The ocean isn't too far, after all.

[Even if they probably wouldn't be able to get far. He hadn't even thought about this until now.]

[yourhatred]

I wasn't aware there were many boats to borrow.

[Which probably means theft, but this idea doesn't appear to bother Itachi much at the moment.]

Though I wouldn't mind having the opportunity myself.

[yourhatred]

Then I suppose I have something to look forward to.

[One might almost believe the two of them were friends.]
