I know. It's actually pretty unlikely. [Considering the general formula certain mangaka tend to follow, something both muse and mun have contemplated with rising exasperation.]
Ino's a medic, Sakura is running to your side, Tsunade-sama is pretty much there, and that weird Karin chick basically said her only purpose was to heal people.
If you die you deserve a medal for how much effort you put into doing so.
[AND AT LEAST YOU GET PANEL TIME, SHIT. MY TEAMMATES DEAD AND ALL I GET ARE ZOOMED OUT BLURRY FACE AND ELLIPSES]
[Blinking at you for a few moments, Tenten... but then he laughs. Not the most shonen or enthusiastic of laughs, but there's genuine amusement there. And even a smile! So that's something.]
Would be kind of ironic for me, of all people, to die like that, huh?
[She has her own way of cheering people up. It's not a crashing wave against a sunset or anything and really she doesn't even know Shikamaru that well but-
They've got to keep morale up. Hope. There's enough bad stuff happening already.]
Yeah. It kind of would. We've still got a lot to do, you're not allowed to bow out already!

Is this something worth complaining about, or are you just being yourself?
no subject
Dying on the battlefield.
,,, Well, the original me is. Still, I think that merits a little complaining.
no subject
Hm. I'll allow you this one due to special circumstances.

[Have a very light shoulder punch.]
Try to survive though, it'll be embarrassing otherwise.

Believe me, dying is never actually on my to-do list.

Unless you want a sword?

so many

[She sighs, her expression not improving any.]
I've lost my teacher and my father, I don't think I'd want to lose my teammate too.
no subject
We're both in the same boat, then.
no subject
Pretty much. Here's to hoping no one loses their life again, though.

[Shaking his head after a moment, as if trying to shake off that negative outlook. That won't help anybody.]
But we'll be alright.
no subject
[Yes, she knows they're in war but, it really won't help any. What they need amid all this darkness is a ray of light, however faint it may be.]
I'll make sure of it. [That they'll stay alright. She's not a medic for nothing.]

[Though saying that here is rather different from saying it on the battlefield. It's been a long time since this particular Shika's seen "home".]
Though it'll be nice when this is all done. In a less final sense.
no subject
[Seven years almost, off and on, for this one. The restarting each time fresh from canon can be a little disorienting, ha.]
Guess it doesn't get much more serious than the war right now though.
...That's not an invitation for anyone to try, by the way.
