"I can't recall being sung anything either, but it's probably cause I was too young, but... lullabies... it's something you gotta have you know?" he frowned thoughtfully while munching on some crab, then shrugged. "It's okay though~ I'll figure somethin out for sure. We -do- need a storybook though." yeah, he might just make lullabies himself.

...something about sheep, since they are fluffy and cute, and probably stars and the moon... since they come out at night, and night is when you sleep. Now if he can put this into pretty words with a tune, he's good to go!

"Is it?" She'd had no idea. It certainly seemed like a nice idea, but she'd leave it to Sasuke to do something like that. She couldn't imagine singing much of anything, really.

"But I agree as to the storybook. Reading is important, as it increases intelligence at a young age." Another nod. Something about tactics and weaponry, to be sure. Chakra molding. Mathematics and trigonometry.

"Hmhmm~ So then, we need a bed set, some clothes hopefully, maybe even a few bath things. We can't possibly have too many story books if we come across any." he already had the perfect setting in mind too. Oh would he love teaching their little one how to read and count!

Having finished his crab meat, he went to the sushi. "It'll be nice to browse around the village shops too.. think we should have a marine theme in some of the furniture too?"

"Perhaps, though I know you are keeping aware of the cost of such things, yes?" She eyed him a moment before nodding, returning to her meal to start picking delicately over the remains. "The theme is somewhat less important than the functionality of the item."

A breath as she reached across the table to just lightly brush her fingers over his hand. "However, I know that you will do what is best."

"Yes, the cost... I think I can at least get inspirations for furniture and build it myself." after all, when he put his mind to do something, he was a force to be reckoned with. "This is why I have days off. To build things, and shop around... and give you love~"

But he knew this was hardly satisfying. "I make sure to keep a ryo cushion for any emergencies."

"Building it yourself is preferable, if you can manage it." It certainly wouldn't be the same quality of craftsmanship, she would be the first to say, but it would serve its function as well as add to their home. "Because not only do we need to purchase something, we would also need to arrange its return to Michi."

She pushed aside her finished meal and cupped her glass in both hands, relishing the coolness.

"Oh~ I can manage I am sure. You acn point me to any designs you might like as we go~" and then at the mention of transporting...

"Return? Easy~" he took out a scroll. "Menma showed me how to use time-space jutsu to store things~" evidently, he was quite glad he had this knowledge.

"That is Tian's jutsu. When did you...?"

Before he came here, if the mention of Menma had anything to do with it. She just nodded at the realization, taking a sip from her tea. "Useful, indeed."

He gave a light chuckle. "After all this time I can still surprise you huh? Then again, I haven't ever talked much about Menma, huh? ...aside from... missin him I mean." he murmured the last few words before taking a sip of tea. "He's the best Sealmaster's son, Minato's. He picked up a few things from his dad and heck, there's even some stuff he figured out on his own pretty quick. I thought it was hella tedious to store stuff in scrolls, but... it proved a great use in some missions we did."

He realized then, that there was a lot he never told her, all this time, but they did not need to know everything to love each other as they did.
"Not to worry, I'll still keep money in mind, even if we can carry whatever we want..."

She nodded, keeping her tea close as she listened to him speak. It was interesting, in some ways because it was a person she didn't know anything about, in another, because it was through that she could learn more about Sasuke.

"Tian would store weapons in scrolls and use them as weapons," she murmured finally in response, fingers reaching to touch one of her chopsticks, holding it up before her eyes. "He was always fidgeting, always seeing what was around him to use as a weapon." She set the chopstick down. "Recently he had learned how to release weapons with paper bombs attached, and could control the explosion as well as the weapon. It was... impressive."

"Ah~ so he was like my Tenten.. except uh.. not as much a klutz. Sometimes I wonder how those teams succeeded.. Not that it matters, cause we were the best~" and most of this was through his own hard work and becoming an asset where he had been a weight.

"But still, controlling an explosion? Whoa! Sounds like a genius" he whistled in admiration. "Your team isn't something I,d want to be up against, aha~" then again maybe he would want to be.. no one gets better fighting weaklings...

"I have met the one called Tenten who is residing in Michi." In spite of herself, her fingers brushed over the chopsticks again. "We are both not the person the other was expecting, however, so I cannot say that we are friends. Merely comrades."

A soft smile as she looked into her teacup. "I do not know if I would go so far as to call him that, but... yes, he was skilled in his field. Perhaps, of people I have seen using weapons, he could be considered the best. Sensei referred to him as a weapons master, after all."

"Ah, that Tenten! Aahahaah!" he laughed aloud. "She wasn't the one I expected either! You should've seen that!" more laughter. "Mine never hits anything but herself, or distasters come close to happen when she's about to hit something. I happened upon her training and saw all those weapons about to hit a target. Of course, no other thought but saving the continued existence of the world was in my mind, so I rammed in with a chidori to keep them off their trajectory. It worked, but.. uh.. yeah since it wasn't the one from my world she sorta doesn't like me much other.. You shoulda seen her face though!"

He claimed some tea, still chuckling.

"Fortunate it was not Tian you matched, as he would have challenged you on the spot." She hid her smile behind her teacup as she took a sip. "He took pride in hitting one hundred targets out of one hundred, after all."

She sighed quietly into her tea, smile fading at the corners. "It is strange, to think of all the changes that have happened in our lives without them at our sides, is it not...?"

"HA! I would've taken that challenge head on! I never back down from anything, you know it~" a grin. "...unless it's very very obviously bad to my health.." a pause. "Then again, a guy hitting a hundred targets with a hundred weapons... probably means against one targets, er... hundred weapons.. Hey, might be bad for my health after all!"

As her smile faded, he went closer to nuzzle her cheek ever-so-briefly. "We both... miss our teammates a lot... but it,s natural. We were together with our teams for a long time."

"One hundred distinct targets with one hundred shots. A bulls-eye every time." There's a hint of wistfulness to her voice, even as she leans back with a severe look at the cheek-nuzzling -- not in public, Sasuke!

"It is true," she confirmed, glancing to her teacup again. "Our teammates were like family."

Not in public, yes but she looked like she needed something like that... oh how was he always, always wrong?

"Heh~ I started out as the one that was a huge weight... kinda like the little brother you drag around cause you gotta."

"That was Lee." She shook her head and glanced toward the window with a small sigh. "The ninja who couldn't use ninjutsu who grew to become one of the strongest fighters I have ever seen."

"Sounds like my worlds'. At least I know in yours there's no way he coulda made off with Tenten's underwear..." this wasn't the strangest hobby he had seen... and not the strangest he would see.

She flushed at the thought and shook her head. "No, certainly not. I haven't the faintest idea what kind of undergarments they wear, but-- no. I cannot imagine they would."

"Heh~ yeah... my world's got all the oddballs it looks like!" he laughed lightly. "I'm your oddball though, aha~"

"...Indeed. And I am glad for it." She glanced to him to offer a quick flash of a smile before taking another sip from her cup, smile slowly starting to fade again. "Perhaps they will someday arrive here, as well."

"Pretty sure Menma would love his guinea pig back... as for Sakura..." he stretched his arms, grunting lightly. "She,d probably be glad since .. here'd mean no Hinata.. so a free shot at Menma..."

"Hinata-sama..." she mused quietly, taking another sip from her teacup and sighing quietly. "It is strange that he is not here, as well. That very few members of my clan are here at all."

Her lips curved into a small smile. "Would that the majority of them never come."

"Strange, but.... some sort of blessing." he rose a hand to call up the waiter. "Want any dessert? Green tea ice cream sounds nice~" he could stand some very lightly sweet stuff.

"Besides, even if any of them came, they can't change what's happening, and what's to happen." if anyone wanted to bring clan business into -his- family, he would not even hesitate. He could be ruthless.
