the apology, pt 1.
Who: Gai and Neji [closed]
Where: Neji's apartment
When: November 2nd, evening
After yesterday's unofficial break, Gai felt a renewed productivity. Paperwork went better than ever (he broke all his previous records), the forms were filled out completely and without any issue, and overall, he was starting to feel better. It was funny that paperwork of all things had given him time to think and reflect on the past week. Well, paperwork and Kakashi. A visit from his Rival had always somehow managed to put a little bounce back into Gai's step and he no longer could excuse neglecting to have some very important discussions.
So, now was the time to apologize. He would not allow himself to put it off any longer. And while Obito wanted him to apologize to Yamato, Gai wanted to speak with his student first. It seemed only right.
He knocked on the door.

"I never thought you were trying to cage me, I was only ever worried that you might not be able to reconcile with my involvement out of a sense of deeply-rooted concern for my mental health." Their conversation in the library months ago came to mind.
"And I understand that well, but you should know that Yamato-taichou is one of the most well-adjusted members I've seen. I can't say I know much about Kakashi-san other than the fact he acted in the same capacity, but I'm certain it had no little impact." And if Yamato's adjustment to ANBU was any indication, he had to say that Kakashi must have done an excellent job on his own.
"His methods are unusual, and contradict a good deal of my initial training. It's a softer approach than even you might expect, although Yamato-taichou's record speaks for itself in his field effectiveness even so. I'm in good hands, Gai-sensei."
