“ ha —? is that even a question ? ”
a scoff in return at the pondering statement — his own fanged grin curling up across lips . he threw his arms , crossing behind his head as he laxed — naturally leading them to his favorite beef jerky shop .
“ of course it's better over
»
having folded his arms, the sand nin makes another chuckling. even when the other seemed bothered by it, he ended up answering anyway.
“ oh. beef jerky. wonder is the leaf's is better than the ones we have. ”
&&.
a scowl glowering even more across face —— what the hell is he getting into ?!
“ .. what — am i your free tour guide now ? this is stupid ! ”
.. and even so he turned , muttering in a lower tone . “ .. it depends on your tastes — i personally like to have beef jerky so—”
a snort. he leans close again.
“ that's where you enter, dog boy. ”
making little emphasis on the nickname. pointing at the other.
“ i'm on my break time now. would appreciate some recommendations from a local. ”
“ right —— he does have a lot of meetings .. ”
of course , such was to be expected of a kage . a light grumble , he scratched the back of his head . “ sounds like a boring job — don't tell me you just stand there in the meeting too . ”
sharp grin, briefly sticking his tongue out. ah. grabbing the side of his hood, absendmindedly.
“ i'm accompanying gaara this time. he has some meetings here, you know. ”
“ that was years ago — you can't just ——!! ”
cat—like eyes widened and he froze — rigid as a statue and cheeks immediately flushed .
“ w— .. i did not say that either ..! 💢 * . ”
another pair of chuckles.
“ well, didn't i save you once ? ”
he'd let him be — for now.
“ ah. or is it, that being allies doesn't mean we can be friends ? ”
... or not. a hand below chin. he teases again.
“ uf— ”
noise huffing out from him , he rolls his eyes at the mention of “ friends ” .
“ haaa—? since when have you been so chummy about being my friend ? ”
