Was he listening? It's just like when she had met him before! If he called her beautiful again it really would be just like deja vu. She notices him not really paying attention and her brow furrows. Just as she's about to ask him if he's even listening, he pokes her cheek.

She blinks.

It's relative, really. Last she remembered she had definitely died to be sealed into her sun but some strange circumstances her allowed her to walk and talk among those living. She's very sure Naruto has not died but then again, how could she know for sure?

"Y-Yeah, of course I am, Naruto. As much as I can be and here to protect you." There wasn't anything that was going to hurt Naruto with her around. It didn't in Exsilium and it sure as hell wouldn't here either. Wherever here is...

"More importantly..." she looks around again, concerned. "Where are we? This isn't the place we were before. It's not as gloomy and I don't sense Kakashi yet."
