To my most glorious and generous blossom of creativity!

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

While I am most happy that you have finally permitted me to move into the space once reserved for those of a far less youthful disposition, I must question if you are quite prepared for me! For, you see, while I am more than overflowing with the abundance of warmth that being allowed free to aid my comrades in their time of sadness can give, you, my most worried player-san, seem to be very concerned that I shall not live up to my name.

But fear not! We shall go forth together! I will not allow a fair maiden to fall by the wayside in insecurity!!

Now we have but to find a dwelling that shall become our new home! A place for uniting the damaged bonds of my teammates, and all shall be well!!!!

[ Smirks, unfazed by the exuberance this time around. ] I'm well aware of that too. [ Had come across it a few times during her stroll down dear_mun lane. Meanwhile, manages to free a hand and... gratefully gives one of his a light pat. ] ...And thank you. It'd be appreciated, I'm sure. Just in case.

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He smiled brilliantly at her, near blinding.] Anything for my most lovely of teammates Tenten.

[There is a nice beat of stillness, then he finally gives her hands back.] And if you do not come, I shall run a thousand laps for not freeing you from the dust of where you have been kept!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Snerks. Had been waiting for that. Part of her misses it. Another part wonders just how she managed to survive this long with the two of them on the same team. Mostly, though, she considers what it'd mean to have the squad back together, even if they didn't exactly fit in the same pieces like they used to, before. ]

Just a thousand? Would Gai-sensei appreciate you being so laxed in your punishments? For failing to bring a comrade back, it should at least be five~

[ Knows it's a dangerous thing to tease Lee, but what can she say? She's missed her Chipmunk. ]

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[His lip quivered as he took in her words.] You are correct! I have been remiss and you are worth so very much more than a mere thousand laps. I shall instead run from dawn until dusk as many days as it takes until I am certain I have found a way to free you!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Stifling a laugh, she lightly tapped her palm against the other's cheek. ] Just don't overdo it, Chipmunk. They're still gonna need you here if my player decides not to shuffle me over.

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He held his breath a moment, then let it out in a great big sigh.] I still should not have been so remiss Tenten! Forgive me for my lapse in making it seem I did not better value you!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Sighs with a shake of her head. Same ol' Lee, indeed. ] I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He held his hands together in front of himself.] I will only accept your forgiveness after my thousand laps!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Nods in understanding... and can't help but pour more gas onto the fire. Sometimes she's just in a playfully cruel mood. ] On your hands?

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He gave her a stare both mournful and shocked.] But of course!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Narrows her eyes the smallest bit. ] Backwards?

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

Tenten you must be most furious with me! Yes! Of course!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Laughs, giving his arm a friendly pat. ] Actually, not really. A thousand laps the regular way is just fine. [ No laps would be even better because there was no anger at all on her part. But she knows Lee wouldn't let it go without some sort of training punishment. ]

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He eyed her a moment, then threw his arms around her.] You are my most wondrous and forgiving teammate!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Ah... a bit squished under the force of his hug. But it's not necessarily a bad thing. She can still breathe, after all. ]

Oh, by the way... My mun wanted to make sure I told you: Happy Birthday, Lee.

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He beamed, pulling back after a positively bone cracking hug.] Thank you Tenten, my most considerate of teammates.

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ And bone-cracking is definitely what it is as she feels a few of them pop under the pressure. Ah, she definitely almost missed that. Just ignore the face of minute pain, Lee. Hold on to the happy. ]

Don't mention it.

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He laughed and held her by the shoulders so she didn't tip over. That had... happened once or twice when he'd gotten too enthusiastic with the hugging.] But it is too late, I already have. I will however, say no more!

[He made a show of closing his mouth, looking quite serious... then not sure quite what to do from there. Didn't think that one out too clearly.]

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Rather amused by this turn of events, she crosses her arms and just stands there watching him, waiting with a smirk pulling at her lips to see what's gonna happen next. ]

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He shifted from one foot to the other, looking highly uncertain. He opened his mouth, closed it, then abruptly seemed to come to a choice. Giving her a thumbs up, he mimed running, gave her another grin, then made a run for it. It seemed he'd decided that now was an excellent time to get those laps in.

Admittedly, he'd rather stabbed himself in the foot with his phrasing, so it shouldn't have been a surprise.]

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Laughs. Well, that's one way around it, she'll give him that. So with a wave, she sends him off for his laps. ] Have fun, Lee~

[endeavorbeyondgenius]

[He gave her a double thumbs up and a wave, and then he was gone, sprinting off into the distance.]
