[Open] Bittybody?

"Aaah! Get back here!" he'd let some concentration slip, and the paper had been blown off by the wind. He groaned as it flew far, far off, and pouted. He'd done good holding it for the best part of two hours, too!

He blinked then, eyes widening. There -was- a paper nearby! Not his paper, but any clean one was good, and this one was laying on the grass, all really bright and yellow! It demanded to be picked up, and Sasuke did!

"Understood~" he almost sang, just as enthused as ever. "Older-girl-me is so great! You can do soooo many awesome things!" he looked down -how odd itw as to look that way instead of up- at her. "Niichan said you're awesome with kenjutsu! Someday I wanna learn too.. but not b'fore I'm through everythin m'tryin to work on~"

She looked away in silence again, tense and clearly unhappy with the situation.

"You're quite right on those accounts, Sasuke-kun," he agreed mildly, though his expression didn't shift. "Perhaps you might ask her to train with you today, once this mess is resolved?"

He timidly reached out to tug on a sleeve. "..girl-me? Y'wanna train..later today?" he asked, voice a small plea. "....I promise I'll be good... till we get back in our bodies..."

He didn't sound or looked that happy anymore, sensing finally how reluctant and annoyed the other was. "..m'sorry about this mess." he apologized, even though he had no idea who or what caused it.

"..." Still Sasuke said nothing, shrinking a little before she eventually just sighed, "I doubt you actually meant to do this."

Neji just watched and rather hoped the boy wasn't going to cry. The sight of tears on her face wasn't something he thought he could handle all that easily.

Against all odds, instead of tears came a smile.
After all, he wasn't going to cry all the time when things didn't go his way. Sure, he felt bad seeing his girl-self in his body being so distressed, but... he didn't do it. "It's okay, girl-me! I'll stay with you till things get back to how they're s'possed to be."

The shoulder he'd put a hand upon was so small... it gave him a whole new perspective on how others just might perceive him. So this was what they saw and dealt with all the time?
...looks could and would be so deceiving. He might be small, but he knew -and had been told- he could already do some pretty advanced things. All he needed was a larger chakra pool really, and he -could- be something to contend with.
Or so he would like to think. When a certain event came back to his mind, it reminded how powerless he could be, and how he wouldn't let something like that happen again if he could help it. That was what getting stronger was all about.

"We should go back in, yea?"

Reluctantly she nodded, still not meeting the eye of either person as she just stood there for the moment, waiting for someone else to lead the way.

Neji nodded, lightly putting a hand on the boy's shoulder before moving to lead the way inside. Tea would be effective right about now -- if nothing else, it would calm his nerves. "Would either of you like anything?" A quick glance revealed that --

"I see you've eaten most of the tomatoes, Sasuke-kun.

"ehehe~ yeah, I was hungry, so..." he gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry~"

Once more she frowned before she made to seat herself at the table, looking away from the other two as she just remained silent for the moment.

He just sighed through his nose, trying not to be so disconcerted. As refreshing as it had been to see such expressions on the female Sasuke's face...? It still was not as if she were the one making them. Instead, he busied himself preparing tea for the three of them. "Next time, show some restraint," he chided quietly, glancing over his shoulder and shaking his head, though it was easy to tell from his voice that he wasn't truly annoyed. "Go on and sit down, Sasuke-kun."

"Sorry." he repeated. "I mean, I ate till I felt full.. like usual..." he scratched his head as he sat down, and then more joy. "It's okay though! Eventually we're gonna be back to how we're s'possed to, yeah? We just gotta wait it out."

"Hn," The noise was all she made as she just stared at a spot on the wall, still annoyed and not really feeling like socializing with anyone else at all while she was still in that state.

"Once you return to normal, I'm certain you have no problem going into the village and purchasing more, yes?" With so many Sasukes in this house, the dearth would likely be noticed quickly.

It's with no small amount of concern that he looked to the female Sasuke in the younger's body, and handed her a cup of tea first. "Please, have some," he murmured quietly before turning to set a similar cup down before the other.

"..." he glanced over to himself... then stared down at the tea. seeing an expression like that on his face just made him sad, and he knew it wasn't anything he could help with. He gave a light sigh. Keeping that smile was just hard...

"..this is boring... I want m'body back.." he muttered.

Although she didn't say it, the hum almost succeeded in expressing the same sentiment, gulping down her tea and not exactly caring about how it burned. Even though it was in fact very hot and almost prompted tears, if only because her younger self's heat tolerance wasn't fully realized yet.

Almost immediately he frowned at her, tapping a finger against the table. "Do not scald your throat, Sasuke. Please remember that he'll be the one left with it at the end of the day."

A sigh as he looked to the younger of the two, lips curving into another frown. "Perhaps you might try touching her again, Sasuke-kun?"

He reached out over the table and planted a hand upon his body's head. "Come ooon.. please work!" he whined.

She stared flatly at him as she felt nothing happening between them before sighing and bowing her head, "It's not working."

"Then it seems we must simply wait." Another sigh, and he settled himself into a chair near them, refilling Sasuke's teacup and giving her a rather warning look not to drink it in one gulp this time.

Now, he was just starting to get grumpy. His girl-self wasn't enthused about anything ever, and he couldn't even turn this situation around with his willpower. Fine then, he can be grumpy aaaaall he wants in her body if she's gonna be grumpy in his.

"This sucks" he stated, then proceeded to sip some tea.

"I'm going."

That time she didn't even wait for a response before she was on her feet, already heading towards the front door to collect her shoes again.

"Sasuke," his voice was soft as he looked to her, frown lessening. "Please don't. What will you do?"

Since he knew whatever he was going to say wasn't likely to have any weight, the other just went on sipping his tea.
Sheesh... grownups... They sure love to make everything so much more complicated than it is!
