[Open] Home at last.

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 laughed softly and promptly set about getting things out so that what was for immediate consumption wasn't put away... and about half the tomatoes were hidden away out of sight.

"Of course I agree, it makes logical sense."

"Oh, here, hide em in the glasses cupboard, little me can't even see that high even on a stool, and he'll never even think about lookin in there." he snickered. "Operation Safeguard of Tomatoes complete~ Never thought I'd have to plot against myself."

He started taking out the various pots and pans needed to prepare dinner. "Want me on the whole veggie-cuttin process? I can make star-shaped carrot bits~" and of course to not waste anything else, the rest is an assorted rounded-tip triangles.

"That would be excellent Sasuke." She moved to put the tomatoes away where advised, amused that they'd probably still vanish just as quickly, if into different hands.

Hey hey, he was not going to eat all those! Just... a few. He knew when to exercise restraint! Plus, he wasn't as cute as his smaller self and couldn't get away with as much. He only made this mistake once!

Claiming the cutting board and a knife, he was much enthused about peeling and cutting those carrots.

And who claimed you were the one that she was worried about Sasuke? There were definitely more of you around here.

Mikoto quickly put away what wasn't being used and set about starting another part of dinner. There were enough people in this house she was sure there would be no leftovers. "Do you still have the same favorites?"

So he was actually one of the few that thought about leaving some for others? You cannot even trust your other selves, what is this world coming to!

"Uh-huh! Looks like that's something that hasn't changed, somehow." he gave a light laugh. "There's so many of us we might run this country's yearly stock of tomatoes out, huh?"

There were just too many of you!

"I think you don't need to worry about that. I'm sure that people have noticed and set up more plants."

"Ahaha~ yeah... good thing whoever grows them is far away from here, cause I think there's be a chibi that'd sneak in daily on his land.."

She laughed softly. "Have you considered asking someone here to grow them?"

"...because you really think the kid wouldn't make his home in a tent right next to the field where these get grown? Ahahah!" oh he could imagine that too.

"Well, I know that one of the Narutos that lives here happened to have once done this for his Sasuke, so I don't doubt that someone might do it for you too."

"..ah..I.. ahahah, I don't think, no." he gave a sheepish grin. "Not really plannin a relationship, m'better off just flirtin around. People're gonna get more used to that anyways." he shrugged. "...even if it's a nice thought." Following his vibrant failure, he wasn't really keen on trying seriously. Besides, it was better saved for his world... and the rebuild of his clan.

She looked sideways at him. "Don't put your life on hold for maybes baby."

"My life's not on hold. I mean, I'm still here and breathin and stuff. I just don't think many people really can... you know, be that comfortable with me." he gave a light shrug. "If it's gotta happen, it'll happen, you know...?"

"True, as long as you're not running away from any chances that present themselves then I'll be happy with that."

"I haven't... Whatever chances happened just.. didn't work out, is all..." he shook his head. "....because I was trying too hard, most likely... to be someone I wasn't."

"Always be who you are then... and it won't happen again, right?" She looked at him directly, quirking her lips. "It will work better for you too."

"Yeah. Besides, I am who I am, and that's that." he shrugged. "Things that have to happen will happen anyways. Speaking of which, my vegetables are good to go~"

She waved her hand toward the stove. "Then I don't have to spell it out for you I hope? I'd be sad if you didn't live up to your boasting."

"What boasting? I only speak facts~ Most dashing Uchiha alive~" a pause. "In my world, but hey, it's probably valid for this one, except you sure trump me~"

"Of course I do, you had to get it from somewhere, now didn't you? Now get cooking!"

"Behold my legendary cooking~" he snickered, letting the cut vegetables drop in the boiling water.

She laughed outright at that and smiled brightly. "Gladly."

"Oh~ you're beholding it? Good, good!" he grinned and prepared the pan, intending to fry some thin meat strips. "Do we have any fresh herbs? Chive or thyme or something like that? It'd be nice."

"They're over by the sink, they were part of the things I got together." She nodded that way, picking apart meat for cooking.
