Nara Shikamaru. Are you here?

Comments

[reassures]

--I don't care what you're here for at all.

I don't care what you want, either.

Stay away.

1/2

[encourage]

Touchy.

[encourage]

Good. Stay that way.

[reassures]

We've had enough of other worlds. I know Shika is more capable than most people, but--

Please, leave him alone.

[encourage]

You're not the only one.

And I'm not here for what you think I am. Or I won't be.

Sorry, but the answer remains no.

[reassures]

Then tell me what you're here for.

If you can't do that, then I won't let you near him.

[encourage]

Are you decent with encryption? If not, I'm happy to tell you -- face to face, where-ever you wish. On whatever terms you desire.

[reassures]

I am.

...Face to face might be better, though.

[encourage]

Your terms, Nill. I'm listening.

[reassures]

--In person. Maybe in a park... I don't think anyone will listen in there.

You tell me everything, and I decide if you can see Shika.

[There's a slight pause, before she adds,]

I'm sorry. You have every right to talk to him if he's willing to talk to you.

But I have every right to protect my family, as well.

[encourage]

Whatever park you wish.

[ No comment for going unheard. She had her own means of aiding that effort. ]

I don't seek to deprive people of their right to defend what's important to them. But I won't accept avoidance as a sum total response, either. Not until after.

[reassures]

There's one in Sector 4 we can go to.

...That's fine.

[encourage]

When?

[reassures]

Whenever you're free.

If you only just got back, and want to settle in a little-- that's fine.

[encourage]

Settling in is a luxury I don't have time for. I'm ready now -- and anytime after, as suits you best.

[reassures]

...I don't have any plans today - now should be fine.

[encourage]

Then now. At the park you stated.

[reassures]

Alright.

I'll see you there.
