I wish the weather would stop changing so dramatically. It's giving me a headache... literally. I know some places can get unseasonably warm, but this is ridiculous.


[text, private to Minato:]

Hey, I need you to do me a favor. Can you take Miki out for an afternoon this week? Keep her busy for me?


[text, private to Shinjiro:]

We need to make sure Miki has a good Christmas this year. I have a plan, but I need your help.

[risetocaesar]

[There's an unspoken 'you're a good friend' in there, somewhere. He even smiles a little.]

What have you been up to lately, anyway?

[voice]

[greatseal]

[He's never really had it put so plainly before. It's kind of embarrassing, now that he thinks about it.]

Until recently, I've kind of been... narrowly focused.

[voice]

[greatseal]

That's true... We were all really focused on fighting Shadows while we were in SEES, and you've been in it a lot longer.

[....It's not really an excuse regardless but she feels a little bad for putting him on the spot like this. Still, she'd assumed he did SOMEthing besides training even if it... never came up at all in her talks with him before...]
