[Open] Oh really now?

[sparkplug_chan]

Practicing with the new weather... issue was an interesting thing to try to do. Especially given the water formations seemed especially prevalent on the outdoor training fields.

She didn't, however, hesitate to work with her elements, since if nothing else, she'd long since learned how to deal with Naruto, and it would be fun to finally be able to spring an appropriate reaction on him when he did a dousing jutsu to try to shortcut in their spars.

Unfortunately, it also meant that when she decided to take a break she was sopping wet, her clothes were half falling off, and she'd had to chase her sword across the field when one of the spouts had landed on her.

"It does something. It's a tracking seal and he can use it as a pinfocus to reach me. It does more, but it's unfortunately beyond my skills. Even if we have been studying just as long on this topic." She huffed a breath. "But... when he's working on a seal? It's when he's always looked the most content. He says I have something similar when doing my swordwork forms."

[heroscomeback]

"Tracking seal~ Nice!" he gave a grin.

"Most content huh? I'd have to say it's when I'm having ramen!" a pause. "...that doesn't count huh?" he ran a hand through his hair and, somewhat sheepish, gave one of those little smiles. "...but.. talking to a Sasuke... any Sasuke, and... not bein rejected... it's even better than that."

[sparkplug_chan]

Her tone turned a little wry, and she sighed. "That isn't really the same, but I suppose I'm glad I could brighten someone's day."

[heroscomeback]

"Maybe it's not exactly the same as if it was... my sasuke, but... yeah. It does feel nice." he had that goofy happy smile on again. "Sorry if I sound all fanboy-ish. Then again, you know how I am, hahaha~"

[sparkplug_chan]

"I'd like to think so. My Idiot still does things like that, no matter what I do." She shook her head, lips quirking. "Though you're taking the relationship better than some have."

[heroscomeback]

"Why wouldn't I be happy for you two? I mean, I don't see how anyone'd look at it and... not like it." Naruto was the epitome of the good guy. "I mean, you love him and he loves you. Nothin else can be better for the two of you."

[sparkplug_chan]

"A few of the Narutos that have come through this place have been... less than understanding." And oh was that a cranky face yep.

[heroscomeback]

"It's okay~" he assured her, with that ever-shining smile, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You're happy, and if any Naruto cares about you, they'll be happy for you."

[sparkplug_chan]

She stared at him for a long moment, then seemed to soften a little. "That's generous of you."

[heroscomeback]

"Generous? Nah~ juss bein me, is all." is assured her with a beaming smile. "But thanks a lot."

[sparkplug_chan]

"Take a compliment with grace Naruto." She gave him a long stare after she said this. "I don't say what I don't mean."

[heroscomeback]

"Y-yeah. Sorry. Thanks for the compliment, Sasuke." he bowed, blushing, a sheepish smile on his lips.

[sparkplug_chan]

She nodded once, accepting the reaction easily. "Better! No need to be humble when there's no cause, right?"

[heroscomeback]

"I'll try." he promised. "Really." she wasn't the first one he was needlessly humble with.

[sparkplug_chan]

She huffed a sigh. "And it's not really my place to fix you either. Learn from the scolding."

[heroscomeback]

"Understood!" he still wore that too-pleased smile, chuckling. "Being scolded by Sasuke~ It's nostalgic! Ahaha~"

[sparkplug_chan]

"I'm sure if you try you'd be able to find someone to scold you around here without my needing to be the one to do it."

[heroscomeback]

"Thanks." was all he answered to that, wearing the brightest of smiles. This, he knew, would be a good memory to hold onto.

[sparkplug_chan]

She waved it off, starting back for the house. "I'm soaked and I'm cold, I'm going to go change and make dinner."

[heroscomeback]

"Right~ Seeya then. Thanks again!" he gave her a wave of his own as she headed off.

[sparkplug_chan]

She looked over at him for a beat, then just let it go with a nod and ambled off.
