Look, you know I'm not going to complain about the enthusiasm, mun, but don't you think you could at least wait to get home before making a journal, doing the icons, all of that? You've got a job to do.

Still, I am flattered. Maybe you'll even try and find a game - or at least a musebox - for me? Our last trip out into the world of RP was too short. You really need to work on your confidence, you know. If you keep telling yourself you can't, then you won't.

And don't you dare call me a "weak" muse. I don't ever want to hear that word out of you, got it?

[niceguypose]

Sakura-san! I want you to know that "weak" is the last of the words I'd ascribe to you!

[medicalpunch]

[It's nice to know that she'll always have at least one person cheering her on wholeheartedly, no matter what.]

Good! I'm not about to take that kind of description lightly!

[niceguypose]

I would not expect you to. Your confidence is among your admirable qualities, after all, Sakura-san! I am sure you will fight until your Mun's opinion is revised!

[medicalpunch]

For varying values of 'fight,' maybe. There are some things punching won't fix. As satisfying as it might be.

[niceguypose]

I see, this is true. Violence can not repair everything - like.... machinery that has broken down!

[medicalpunch]

That's true. Some things have to be solved different ways.

... But sometimes the violent way is really satisfying. [She'll admit her own violent tendencies that much, at least.]

[oh_itsasnake]

As much dislike for the truth as your mentor, hmm?

[medicalpunch]

DON'T YOU EVEN GO THERE!

[Too much of a sore point, especially right now.]

[oh_itsasnake]

All this loud shouting I endure, and yet it never works. I wonder why your sort keep thinking it will?

[medicalpunch]

Maybe it's the same reason your sort keeps thinking that scheming and lies will get you what you want.

[oh_itsasnake]

Right now, I think I have the superior position. Even as a pawn of another, the way we both are right now. Though the motive is humiliating...

[medicalpunch]

I'm no pawn, thank you very much.

[oh_itsasnake]

No? You're going to be sent someplace far away from home and everything you care about of your own free will, then?

Damn, I thought I tagged this a while ago. Sorry!

[medicalpunch]

I'm not getting sent anywhere. And if I did, it'd probably be somewhere where my friends are already.

[orange_dattebayo]

SAKURA-CHAN! Don't threaten mun! It's not safe dattebayo!

[medicalpunch]

I'll show her not safe if she keeps this up!

[orange_dattebayo]

[Flails hands around] I'm serious, 'tebba! She can make you do terrible things! A-And embarrassing things!

[medicalpunch]

Oh, don't worry, I think she and I have an understanding.

[goninjagoninjago]

Hell no that ain't so! No measly little mun's gonna call any self-respecting ninja weak!

[medicalpunch]

You got that right! I'll show her what-for if it keeps up!

[goninjagoninjago]

That's what I like to hear~. Got a game in sight already, or are you and your mun still on the "pep-talk" stage?

[medicalpunch]

Oh, nothing like that. The mun's not looking at placing me anywhere. Just the occasional stroll here, maybe on memes.

[goninjagoninjago]

Ah, memes huh? Yeah I-

[At that moment Bee was endlessly fortunate that he had a FAR saner and well-mannered partner inside his head, who could step out and warn him that NO YOU IDIOT TALKING ABOUT THE KIND OF MEMES YOU ARE IN WILL MAKE THIS CONVERSATION CRASH AND BURN IN AWKWARD TOWN.

Hence, Sakura was mercifully spared stories of Bee's... 'experiences' with memes.]

-heard those are where some people end up!

[medicalpunch]

[YES THANK YOU FOR SPARING HER THOSE STORIES, THAT IS VERY KIND OF YOU HACHIBI-SAN.

She catches the quick hesitation of that edit, but decides she doesn't really want to ask.]

It all seems kind of frivolous, really, but my mun seems to think it's a good use of my time.

[goninjagoninjago]

[Hachibi would accept your respec-knuckles of gratitude if he were manifest, but he is not and will as such be grateful that people don't know what Bee uses his cloning powers for.Of course considering her potential love interests Sakura may one day find out the benefits of clone jutsus herself NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK]

You disagree?

I'm so sorry for him

[facevalue]

Ah... Sakura-sa--

S-Sakura. Maybe your mun can't do their job with someone so ugly pestering them. Perhaps if you were quieter?

[medicalpunch]

Sai!

[facevalue]

I was reading that the presence of certain people may be distracting due to their physical appearance...

Was I wrong?

[medicalpunch]

Yes.

And if you don't lay off the 'ugly' remarks, I'm going to shove them right back down your throat.

[facevalue]

Ah... but I still have not come up with a proper nickname for you.

[medicalpunch]

Then just call me Sakura. It's better than using an insult.

[facevalue]

[His eyebrows twitch slightly closer in the closest to an expression of puzzlement he can muster.]

Is that enough to enable us to bond?

[medicalpunch]

It'll be fine. I promise. Look -- Naruto and Kakashi-sensei and I don't use nicknames for each other, and we've done fine.

[facevalue]

I have noticed that. But it seems no matter what attempts I make, I still cannot form such a bond...

Perhaps if I called you Sakura-chan as well?

[medicalpunch]

[o m g. He's actually listening to her about it! Sakura's ready to declare victory here.]

That's just fine. [Maybe she's a little old for the -chan, but she's not about to argue with it! Besides, it is what Naruto calls her.] Nicknames aren't what create a bond anyway. It's shared struggles and empathy - and if nothing else, we're definitely getting that first one taken care of!

[cosmosic]

Look who's trying to teach who about confidence.

[medicalpunch]

Hey, I've got plenty of confidence these days!

[Usually]

1/2

[cosmosic]

You do. You're like a different person compared to the little girl with hair in her eyes I first met.

[not going to deny that qurl]

[cosmosic]

But you never would have had it without me. I just find it funny you're trying to teach other people about it.

[medicalpunch]

[Oh sure, go and take all the credit like that, why don't you.]

You're saying I should keep everything I learn to myself?

[cosmosic]

[she just wants credit where credit is earned okay!]

Now that's just selfish, Sakura. Don't you think you should just leave confidence-teaching to the professionals?

[medicalpunch]

How does a professional get to be professional except by learning and practicing, though?

[Yeah sure, you'll get credit for her growing up when you fly, Ino-pig~]

[cosmosic]

Some people are just born with it, like me.
