[ There’s a lot of important posts going up on the network lately. So much so that Naruto has been kind of apprehensive about posting this. He can't really articulate as well as everyone else and while he wishes he could say something useful about everything that's happening, he's kind of overwhelmed by it all and just taking it as it comes. His issue is determinedly unimportant, but desperation has got the better of him. So here he is. Hi, he's new. Be nice. ]

So uh, I was wonderin' if one of you could help me with something…

[ His usually whiskered but now strangely bare cheeks (thanks cloaking device) are slightly pink as he scrunches up his face. He looks… kind of embarrassed to be asking something like this so openly, because it’s like admitting inferiority, but this kind of stuff just isn’t his forte. ]

I dunno what to tell people when they ask what I do, or where I come from, or anythin' like that.

[ Coming up with an entire backstory? All by himself? Surely you jest. The most he’s managed is dressing his clones differently and calling them his brothers, any more creative than that and you’re asking a little too much of him. He’s entirely new to this community and finding a place in it is hard enough without also having to find a place in this random world too. ]

An old lady asked me why I wasn't in school, an' when I told her I stopped goin' to school when I was thirteen she didn't take it well, so I dunno what I'm supposed to say, y'know. In my world I'm a shinobi, is there anythin' like that here?

[ Naruto's ire is only amplified as Sasuke smirks at him because it's more reminiscent of a Sasuke that Naruto is familiar with rather than the relatively placid one in front of him right now. It's good, really, that Naruto can both separate them and see them as the same when he has to, but right now he can't see Sasuke's smirk as anything even close to a good thing. It just pisses him off.

He snatches the backpack and half tears open the zip to peer inside. And then all his anger is gone. It's like a bright, purifying light is shining out of the mouth of the bag as Naruto gazes down into it. Is he crying??? Probably. ]

Sasuke.... Thank you.....

[He can't help but smile at the sincerity of Naruto's reaction. Only this idiot would get emotional over instant ramen.]

You are welcome.

[Something occurs to him then.]

Do you have the necessary equipment to cook those things?

[thinhammer]

[ Naruto doesn't miss Sasuke smiling and he kind of gawks at it for a few moments before he realises he should be speaking. ]

Uhh- What, hot water? Yeah, sure, I can get hot water anywhere. I know how to make ramen, y'know.

[Sasuke sighs and rolls his eyes.]

You'll need a bowl for a couple of them too.

[thinhammer]

I know that, bastard, I'm not stupid!

[ God, Momsuke, calm down. He rolls his eyes. ]

Ya know I can zip my own jacket up by myself an' everythin' too.

[beginanew]

Really? Would have fooled me.

[He rolls his eyes, and hand on hip, like a mom really.]

I'm so glad you don't wear buttons.

[ Sigh, what happened to Sasuke's cute smile from before, why's he gotta put up with all this sass. 8(

Naruto dumps the ramen into his ridiculous frog backpack like that's a decent enough comeback. ]

Yeah, yeah, whatever. [ He gives him a withering look, but then just before he's about to call it quits and leave, he thinks of something. ] Ya should come over sometime. We can share these. [ He gestures to the last packet of ramen before depositing it in his bag. ]

((ooc: If you don't want to continue it's fine! It's just from before my hiatus so I'm trying to close everything off. Yes, it's copy/paste.))

Where did you get that, by the way?

[He asks, pointing to the backpack.]

Share... There's a reason I'm giving them to you.

[It's not like I want to share those or anything, you baka.]
