     she’s not stupid– she knows someone has been staring at her for a long period of time. it was nothing malicious. if someone had wanted to attack her, they would have by now. she was easily able to ignore it at first, believing that whoever it was would move on by now. but they hadn’t which meant they might want something. the witch sighs, setting her cup of…well, it was once coffee and turning her head quickly to meet the eyes–

      of a girl. huh. not what she was expecting.

 a moment of silence beats by. an eyebrow is raised, hands coming to rest on her hips. “– is there a reason you’ve been staring at me for the past 30 minutes? “

        To say she was startled by being caught was an understatement. A quiet gasp and the aversion of her eyes were quick and careless as Nene tried desperately to make this whole ordeal a little less embarrassing. She has done this before. She’s always had a  terrible habit of watching people out of innocent intentions, but to be caught was few and far between. 

        “I-I’m sorry-” she sputters out, nervousness overtaking her. “You’re just really pretty and I’m so jealous, I couldn’t help but to stare I didn’t really know it’s been that long! I’m so, so sorry!”

      “No! I promise it doesn’t look bad, just keep staying still!”

        Do you know how hard it is to even braid someone’s hair while they’re this tall? How much harder it is to even get them to sit down and stay still? Extremely hard! With that though, she ties off the last of the braid she had been working on in his hair. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a braid going down either side of his hair- to match her hair.

❛ Yeah, but Nene is so nice and kind..

It’s not as easy as you think it would be.. I’m literally still single, if that tells you anything. ❜

       “Boys don’t care about that they care about how big my ankles are more.”

“Oh, okay.”

     “We’ll find you a girlfriend though! Don’t give up!”

“So…….. love troubles, hm?”

      “You’re not my type, I’m so sorry.”

He just stands there.

❛ HEY! 

You just got here, what about me? ❜

“Alas madam if I had a son it would be a privilege to set you up with him.”

As Sasuke heard the girl’s voice, the pensive expression on his face softened, then he turned his attention towards her. It seemed like she had unintentionally snapped him out of the trance he’d fallen into. “Oh, I was just…thinking of home.” He sat up, sighed, then let his hands rest in his lap.

Normally he wouldn’t be too keen on sharing his thoughts with a stranger, but this girl hadn’t meant any harm by her question. And she seemed genuinely concerned. “My friends.”

      Oh thank goodness, she didn’t scare him. Nene offers him an apologetic smile. “Home huh? Have you been here awhile?” Her mind briefly thought of home too as he spoke. What was everyone doing while she happened to disappear... Again. But she had just arrived, she couldn’t fathom what it felt like to be gone from home for a long time.

  Own reflection catches eyes first before his attention is swept away by a darting figure. Peering over the waters edge it’s a koi that captures his gaze, its path through the water momentarily disrupting the reflection held. A low hum rumbles in his throat as position shifts, partially kneeling to allow himself a better angle as hands rose and fingers were used to frame the sight before him. 

  An added glimmer of sunlight, caught just the right way, allowed the captured view to sparkle with such a vibrant air; such life! There was almost a content sigh that fell with the next breath, but a new array of color entering his ‘canvas’ prevented any such expression. When had someone else been beside the lake? How could he have missed such vibrancy!

    “Don’t move! Not another inch!” Spoken without hesitation, his positioning altering once again. Back on his feet and hurriedly shimmying to the side with finger-frame still held before his eyes.  “The lighting… that contrast…! It’s nearly breathtaking.” And yet he owned neither a pencil or sketchbook, yet, here. Memory would have to suffice!  /  @radishashi

      Fingers gently kited over the surface of the water, careful to not get too wet in fear of her scales showing up across her finger tips. The water was comforting to be around, even on the loneliest days the fish were comforting even if they could not speak to her like others could.

       But alas, her time of peace was ultimately shattered by a random boy yelling at her to stay still. Nene wasn’t surprised by his presence, she had long noticed him earlier doing weird poses towards the fish. Strange as it was, he seemed harmless so she elected to ignore him until this very moment. Frozen, the only thing she could move was her head to look at him; confusion and a little bit of fear written across her face.

     It was so very few and far between to have kids who looked her age around this place. It was nice, having some solidarity with age meant it should be easier to talk to someone, right? Well...Not exactly. But she’s dumb friendly enough to try anyway.
