Temari- [ He doesn't know what to expect, and he approaches her with a steadfast air... only to have it fall as soon as he sees the expression on her face. At a distance she had looked irritable and angry, but up close there is a thread of anguish clear in her eyes. He never likes seeing his sister upset - what brother did? - so he rearranges his tactic. ] Thank you for coming.

[ Polite respect isn't a trait he shows often, but it's one he's very good at -- even if he sounds like he's reluctant to show that kind of grace most of the time... He shuts the door and moves into the room to stand before his sister, giving her a long look before- ]

Something's up with you, and it goes deeper than what everyone thinks. [ The assumption that Temari is acting out at the death of her father and the apparent looming vulnerability of her country is a good guess, but a false one, and Kankuro knows it. ] Tell me what's wrong so we can fix this. I can't have you ostracising yourself anymore.
