Freetime is Tea Time [OPEN]

[uchihasavior]

 Where: Konohagakure, shop area
When: October 6th
Notes: (Totally open; make him share the tea)


A shift over before 4 PM alloted Itachi the time to drift into one of Konoha's better tea shops, where he'd been learning from travel that the better teas were often blended. Chamomile and Jasmine, he found, tended to soothe some of his worse muscle aches, and the flavor stuck with him for quite some time.

He could afford to dish out a little more Ryo, leaving with the neat light blue bag tucked under two fingers, the warm sunlight greeting his skin as he blended back into the traveling crowd.

"Six -- that's half a year," Sasuke exploded, hands slamming to the table in disbelief. "You've been skipping your medication for half a year?!"

This was, at least, a much easier topic to focus on than the subject of Sasuke's personal failures, but he might have preferred being cornered on his own shortcomings if it meant that he wasn't discovering his brother's apparent laissez-faire attitude towards his own health.

"If you were busy, why wouldn't you just ask me to pick them up for you?!"

By all means, anyone else would've flinched at Sasuke's sudden outburst. But Itachi was expecting it. Every movement, every inflection of his voice, even the way his teeth ground...he knew it would happen.

"You are not without your pre-occupations." he simply answers. Sasuke had things to do, too. And he was alive. And alright, as far as he saw. He didn't need to bother anyone else with medicine that he was...okay, without. So far.

"Those don't take priority when it comes to you!" Sasuke leaned forward as he spoke, trying to express with body language as much as his words the extent to which Itachi was gambling with his own health. Was it not important? How could his brother, who had always been so precisely right, manage to ignore something like this?

"I work at the hospital all the time, I could have gotten them whenever instead of --" He hunted for words, too angry to think before he spoke. "Instead of you messing up your health!"
