[Open] Finally an afternoon to himself!

Where: Konoha's Ichiraku
When: From about noon to a leisurely 3pm before he wandered off to read a book on a bench nearby.
Notes: For the first time in what felt like forever, he was free. Freeeeee.

He had started to think he'd never escape the vortex of paperwork that had become his life in the last few months. If it wasn't his class, it was the mission desk, if it wasn't the mission desk, it was running files from intel to the Hokage tower. If it wasn't that then by all that was sane, he was asleep and may mercy be on the soul of anyone who thought it a good idea to wake him for anything less than an emergency.

But now, now, he had a day free and clear of all paperwork. Not a bit of grading was to be had, he was on an official weekend for anything to do with the tower in any capacity, and that left him able to fully, truly, relish the sensation of eating well made noodles as he savored them.

It was a perfect, brilliantly sunny afternoon, and the only thing that could improve it was some good company stopping by to say hello.

She knew he wouldn't know her. Mika had been in the academy before Iruka began teaching.

"Yeah, my youngest brother was in your class I think. Makishi Yamada? Really dark skin, quiet, probably sat in the back...He graduated a few years ago." Mika had seen the teacher around, he had a kind looking face. Makishi had even brought him up in conversation several times, Mika suspected her brother had a little crush on him as a kid.

"I did! Usually when our parents were busy. I really miss walking him home from the academy." Mika's heaves a wistful sigh recalling those days. "Mm, he keeps to himself a lot, so that's probably why. Maki-chan is doing well in his work last time he brought it up." Her own expression reflected the smile Iruka had. "He passed the chunin exam two years ago! I'm surprised he hasn't kept in touch with you.He was very found of your classes."

"Oh he'd love that." Makishi would probably feel bad, then embarrassed that Mika had been talking to Iruka-sensei about him.~ Mika had a chuckle at that and turned her attention to the steaming bowl of ramen that had arrived. Oh yeah, extra spicy. Ayame-chan knew how she liked it.

"Hey, that's good. I just might warn him so he doesn't get mad at me.~" She couldn't leave her food alone any longer. Mika started slurping away, her face was gonna turn red from how spicy that broth was.

The water was accepted and Mika gave Ayame a wink before downing the liquid. Almost too spicy! "I might not say anything just to see him get flustered." Whoops, she shouldn't say anything else, Makishi would be so mad.

"Mhm." She looked at him for a moment before asking him something a little personal. "Do you have any siblings?"

"Ah. That's nice though, kind of like having lots of little brothers and sisters..." Though Mika would never want more herself, her own brothers were enough of a handful.

"Well, you're responsible for them when they're in your classroom. It's kind of like they're family. I'm sure that you have a close bond with many of them." At least that how Mika imagined it was like. She remembered having to help with her younger brothers as children.

"Ne, guess it wouldn't be proper to be too close. Being a teacher...sounds like a lot of work." Mika liked kids but couldn't see herself having to teach them, doubtful that many would be interested in the things she liked anyways.

"Good. We can't afford losing one of our best teachers ne?" Students seemed to like Iruka well enough, from what Mika recalled during her younger brothers' times there. "So how's your current crop of kids?"

"I see. So then what do you do outside of the academy?" Maybe she could forward this information to Makishi, only he'd get upset about her meddling sister ways.~

"Boy, exciting." Maybe Makishi could set his sights on someone his own age. "So you never have fun? Or go out after work?" She teased him a bit before remembering that ramen was sitting in front of her. Still spicy as ever.

"Your studious, strict teacher one?" Mika flashed a cheeky grin at him, she'd have to try seeing him again. For her baby brother's sake of course. "Likewise, if you see Makishi before I do make sure to say hi." There we go, the kid would be soooo embarrassed!
