Only half the story

Who: Adela Milani ([personal profile] abileunaspada) & Shisui Uchiha ([personal profile] shunshinoshishi)
Where: The bench near Adela's favourite Takoyaki Stand
When: December 3rd, mid-afternoon
Notes: A mission has recently gone awry and dire consequences were barely avoided. Shisui has already spoken with one party about said mission, and now it's time to address the other.

For some reason the sauce tasted bitter when it should have just been... She didn't even know anymore.

A heavy sigh left the kunoichi donned in civilian wear as she stared down at the plate she held, her hand piercing the second piece of the set. She thought the treat would help fix her mood, but at the moment she just... Couldn't stomach it properly. It just didn't taste good. Adela didn't know what else to do for it except to stare down the plate, as if it would answer things for her.

The details of that incident on the mission were still fresh on her mind, and although they had made it back okay and the rest of the mission had been fine... She just didn't know, she couldn't get over the fact that she had done so poorly. It wasn't a matter of rank, she still should have done better...

The shadow was the first thing that caught her eye, and the first thing that clued her in to the fact that she had let her mind wander quite far before it was brought back. That was when her gaze lifted and she was met with a familiar face, "Shisui-san."

Alright, no tea then. He sat himself down in his assigned spot, across from her.

"About what, specifically?"
shunshinoshishi: Eddie Peng (Shisui: Nowhere near his calibre)

He almost shrugged, but let out a soft sigh instead, sliding lower in his seat.

"Sephiroth."

"No, you didn't." He doesn't mention where he got his information, though. He'd promised not to tell.

He watched her, listening closely even as he pulled his chair closer. By now he was leaning forward, elbows pressed to knees, fingers laced lightly in front of him.

"Have you ever considered that your parents might have wanted more for you than to just become a ruthless shinobi? I've heard of Kiri. Konoha doesn't do things that way. Here, we place more importance on heart. On love and protection and living for another. That was the basis upon which Konoha was founded; the first shinobi village and it was built out of love by the two strongest shinobi in the world at the time. There is nothing stronger than that, Adela. Fearlessness and power is only one aspect, but it is meaningless to try and move forward in life without the human element.

"Of course you don't match up to them. You don't even come close."

He paused here, watching her.

"Because you far outdo them in the way you think and feel for those around you. It was that selflessness that made you snap out of that moment of fear and come to Sasuke's aid.

"You're not weak, Adela. But you are holding back. The only person dragging you down from reaching your full potential is yourself. And I think, perhaps you might want to start there."

"There is no guarantee." He was smiling. "But the chances of it happening again would be a lot smaller if you stopped doubting yourself."

There was the distinct sound of wood scraping against wood as he pushed his chair back before standing. "Maybe... you need to start letting go." He's only done it to three other people before this-- Itachi, Sasuke, and Ami. But here he was, doing it again: his hand in her hair, gently ruffling for a second before he just rests it there. "So, what'll it be? I've got some of that new sparkling grape juice if you don't want tea."
