that’s not what i asked.
the words bloom, wither in the back of his throat as kimimaro’s hard, flat stare seems to chastise him with a glance. haku wonders whether he found what he was looking for, because haku hasn’t. there’s no reason for kimimaro to refuse food. how would he be able to protect himself on the road without the energy necessary for chakra manipulation ?
he tries again. haku looks kimimaro in the eyes as he takes two of the roasted, spitted bluegills for himself, leaving another two cooling by the fire.
❛ There’s enough here for both of us. ❜
& then he’s turning away, immediately going to work on the bluegill. kimimaro is no use to him weak or dead, but if he doesn’t eat soon haku will eat the rest. no waste in the wild.
