[kuramaless]

It ain't scary 'round here.

[But-- well, you seem scared.]

Do you want me to come to you?

[saving_sound]

N-no, it's fine! Really! S-some day I'll be used to it, so...

[...She says, after spending over a year here.]

I'll come right over!

[Look, she's even moving already!]

[kuramaless]

What're you scared of though?

[Seriously-- he'll just come to see you.]

Okay.

[saving_sound]

Umm… The face snatcher…

[Doesn’t it already sound terrifying-?!

But at least she's still on her way!]

[kuramaless]

[...

...

...

Forgive him his laughter. ;;]

The face--

Are you kiddin'? You're kiddin' right, 'cause that's funny.

[saving_sound]

Eh--

[Mostly she's just confused.]

N-no, really! A long time ago, somebody told me that there's a horrible monster there that snatches peoples' faces...!

[kuramaless]

... You know, they were probably lyin' right?

[saving_sound]

...H-huh? But why would they...?

[kuramaless]

I dunno, people do weird stuff sometimes, right?

[saving_sound]

He wasn't that... weird...

[Okay maybe he was a little.]

I don't get why he would make up something like that...

[kuramaless]

People make up all sorts of stuff.

I guess maybe he wanted to make you scared?

[saving_sound]

But he would never do that!

[Spoilers he totally did. She's so distracted by this however, she doesn't even notice that Naruto is now in fact in sight.]

[kuramaless]

Maybe...

[He is not convinced, but you know - he's not going to push the issue.

In faaact, maybe it would be better to derail this line of conversation.]

You nearly here?

[saving_sound]

Ah-- Yes, actually, I'm-

[Oh wait now that she looks up, she can see him. Go figure.]

I think I see you!

[And she'll go ahead and cut the feed to run the last of the way.]

[kuramaless]

[It's seeing her look up that makes him do the same, and instantly he grins, reaching up his hand to wave.]

Hey!

[saving_sound]

[And she returns it with a soft smile of her own.]

Hello...! You still had some frost bite, right?

[kuramaless]

Yeeeaaah, that's right.

Look.

[At that he holds up his hands, wriggling both sets of fingers at her with a sigh.]

They feel weird. Well, everyone said that means I need to get 'em looked at, so I guess...?

[saving_sound]

[She peers up at them.]

I don't think I can get rid of all of it... No matter how much we heal, it doesn't go away completely. But I think if any is left over it should go away by itself after a while...

[At least, so she hopes. She holds her own hands up to his without quite touching them and begins to heal.]

...There. I think that's as much as I can do. Does it feel any better?
