[Open] Home at last.

[proudofmybaby]

She'd been away from home a lot lately and she was more than aware of that. While the kids and other adults were doing their best, they still had quite the pack of children to support, and there had been no fall back funds or reliable missions to take care of the gaps. It was improving now, but she'd had a rash of missions to take care of over the last month, and it had meant that she'd been away far more than she'd been home.

She just hoped everyone was happy to see her, given that the weather seemed to think she needed to be blown away the second she stepped foot back in the village.

In any case, she'd fought her way back to the house, changed into clean clothes, then went out for a walk since most of the house's residents weren't home. When she got back, she'd check on the ones who were, but in the meantime, she saw no issues in fetching some fresh things for dinner before settling back in.

She looked after the paper birds, then shook her head, hugging him close. "Thank you~. I missed you. How has everything been?"

[one_without_wings]

"Missed you too, Kaasan~" large dark eyes trailed up. "Did you see? I can make six cranes stick now!! Weird other-me showed me I could fold em instead of havin plain boring paper stickin on my forehead!" he sounded so proud. "Oh, oh and I think niisan's gettin better! We wen' to th'lantern fair twice! I kinda fell asleep first the first evenin we went... eheheh..." he gave a sheepish grin.

[proudofmybaby]

"I'm so glad! But... weird other you? What kind of way is that to nickname someone?"

[one_without_wings]

"Everyone says he's weird! All the other mes are grumpy or angry or just not really expressive or anythin, but... well, he's nice'n funny and actually gave me really great advice too! he hasn' given in and taught me anythin new yet, even if I do that expression.."

and he demonstrated by pulling his cute pleading face...

"And that usually works when I see that last tomato and wanna get it, but not on him! He says tomatoes aren't just for me, but I mean... I get to em first, so I should have dibs? Else they might go bad!"

[proudofmybaby]

"Sasuke, you are not the only one in this house that will eat the tomatoes, they won't go bad."

[one_without_wings]

"..." well, that didn't work. Weird him must have gotten mama genes a lot, because he did that too! That stare that makes him not want to do bad things ever again.

"....understood." he looked away, spine curving. "...m'not doin it anymore, cause he does that look just like you, too..."

[proudofmybaby]

She brightened immediately. "Good! I'm sorry not to have met up with him before now. He was only home while I was gone mm?"

[one_without_wings]

"He's home a few times a day, I mean, he aaaalways manages to see me do things he tells me I shouldn' be doin, and reminds me about my cranes... but he helps me fold em, so he's not that bad~" plus they usually shareda tomato whenever they both were in the kitchen. "You'll meet him soon enough, m'sure." he gave a mod, then glanced back.

"Where were you off to, kaasan? The markets?" this appeared to be where they were headed.

[proudofmybaby]

"I was. I intended to get some things so I could make dinner tonight before letting everyone know I was home."

[one_without_wings]

"Can I help?" he asked, knowing she wouldn't say no, eyes shining brightly. "We can all have the bestest of best dinners ever!"

[proudofmybaby]

"Of course you can baby! Just keep track of the wind okay? I don't want you hurt."

[one_without_wings]

"...hmm.. yeah." he gave a slow nod, biting his lip. This might be an issue. "I can help from... further away while we carry the things back?" even if, well, he would like to be closer. Darn that wind stealing his sunshine!

[proudofmybaby]

She gave him a wry smile. "That might be best baby, just in case."
