GASPS. ROMANTIC !!! NUTS ! 

“ tenten. ” the other’s name slips off her tongue easily, like a honeyed word, and eyes glint in the light as she watches the other. “ oh ? you’ll make me ? ” probably the wrong say to thing. tenten definitely had a way of getting what she wants and lips purse. “ how exactly would you make me ? ” always one to taunt, but she does bring the bowl closer to herself as she picks up her chopsticks. 

“gah,” there’s a noise of annoyance, and lips are pursing. “what are men? they think they’re all some gift to women or something? i promise you that you and i could kick most of their asses.” 

lips purse, gaze looked down on the beef stir-fry in front of her. tenten is many things ; woman ; strong ; fighter -- but her mother she is not. she looks off to the side and pushes the bowl away. “ nope. ”

there’s a book laid open in front of her, pencil scratching against the paper as she writes down the numbers of how much money they’ve accumulated, ( read : stolen from corpses , stolen from others ) and she thinks back to how much food that they’ve eaten in general costs and how much that puts them down too. how long what they had would last until she hears movement and her head tilts back to see shadows bouncing off of sasuke’s face and brows dip down to furrow together. “shouldn’t you be asleep?” 

“isn’t it because you’re stupid?” no ? well, it doesn’t surprise karin anyways, although she was somewhat surprised by the picture when she came across it in their hideout. a hand drops to her waist and she turns to walk away, “take it down. it’s stupid and unnecessary. we’re just going to be leaving in a few hours anyways.”
