[Open] A dog day afternoon.

Who: Kakashi, and anyone who might wander by.
When: August 16.
Where: A training ground in Uzushio.
What: Kakashi spends his afternoon off getting reaquainted with a village he hasn't seen for a long time.

Crack-crack.

Kakashi stretched his neck to either side, lifting a hand to rub some warm pressure at the top of his spine. His back was aching like he'd spent a week sleeping in a tree; apparently he definitely wasn't made for a desk job. It had only been a few weeks, and despite enjoying his temporary position on the whole, sitting in a chair and pouring over a desk had done nothing for his already awful posture. He probably just needed a little work out. Exercise was incredibly hard to find behind stacks of paperwork.

The air was certainly cooler here. He'd found a nice, quiet training ground to spend his afternoon off; the grass somehow gentler on his creaking joints. From here the low sun shone pleasant and unhindered, shadows pale and far away in the open space.

A quiet yap sounded from somewhere in the vicinity of his lap, and he looked down to see a small dog looking indignantly back up at him.

"Sorry, Bisuke," he murmured, lowering his hand again to resume rubbing at the nin-hound's exposed tummy. It was much too quiet here, nothing to do but think.
ghostpepper: (aw come on that's embarrassing)

"I guess not, since it wasn't too hard to find you," she said, waving at him to relax. "But you really should've come to visit sooner. You know you're always welcome here, y'know. It shouldn't take getting assigned here on a mission to get you over here. Have you been settling in here alright?"
ghostpepper: can't stop won't stop (it's way too much fun to tease you)

"Even if you just come every few months. I still come back to Konoha when I can so maybe I could try digging you out more on my visits."

She looked off in the direction he was and saw his dogs. They were kinda cute, she had to admit. The smile on her face said as much before she turned back to Kakashi.

"Good, I'm glad. I don't know what Obito was worried about though, he said you were getting leaner than a beanpole. But you look like you've been eating enough here, so maybe he'll be happy to see that when you go back. It'll be a shame to have you go, maybe I should ask Obito to loan you to me another week or two into next month."

Her smile turned up into a crooked grin as she teased him and leaned back, sticking out her arms behind her for support.
ghostpepper: (there's something you should know)

Had she been sitting next to him, she would've punched him in the shoulder. As it was, he got a raised eyebrow.

"When you haven't been reading at you desk, you've been more help than if I had none. But I guess having you here reminded me how little I see of you and Obito and Rin, and it's nice getting to spend some time with you again." She paused for a moment before she remembered why she had sought him out. "Oh! I almost forgot, I have a favor I want to ask you."
ghostpepper: as the only other time you can get away with a meaningful ramen-based name is if you conceive the kid at a ramen stand (too good an opportunity to pass up)

He was about to get another blast from the past too.

"Do you remember the bell test Minato gave you all as kids?" She watched him carefully, readjusted to curl her knees against her chest and wrapped her arms around them. "I've brought it up with Karin's sensei and I want you to give her team the bell test. From the report I got about her team's performance in the Chuunin Exams, she needs to learn how to function as a team and not be the buffer for every bad thing that comes their way. Their sensei has agreed, if you're willing."
ghostpepper: (awesome!)

Had they been standing, she would've hugged him. But since she didn't really have any inclination to stand up yet, she grinned broadly.

"Thanks Kakashi! And just because she's my niece, I want you to give her an extra hard time. I have her team's file in my office, so you can get it from me whenever if you want something else to read. And if you want to talk with their sensei at all and get a more personal account, let me know and I can set something up."
