[sensethis]

Peter.

What are you up to lately? You're keeping safe, right? And why didn't you come see me when you were in Uzushio earlier this month?

[Somehow, he hadn't been expecting the contact, and he stared at it for a few minutes before replying.]

Karin,

Of course! I'm always careful... and I thought you weren't in the village since I didn't see you show up while I was there. Where were you that I missed you?

Peter

[sensethis]

Peter,

I just wanted to make sure. It's weird not being there, you know. I was there...sort of. I could feel you anyway I wasn't that far, but I was working and couldn't get away to see you. I wanted to though.

Karin

[lostmarauder]

Karin,

I didn't stay long, so you don't need to worry too much about not having seen me. It's fine. You really didn't miss much, just a hello.

Peter

[sensethis]

Peter,

Just because I don't have to worry doesn't mean I didn't want to see you if I could have. You were busy when you were here last then I take it.

Karin

[lostmarauder]

Karin,

I was playing courier actually, so it was really just a little while here before being on my way.

Peter

[sensethis]

Peter,

Oh. Maybe next time then.

Karin

[lostmarauder]

Karin,

You're disappointed I wasn't there to see you? I did watch for you.

Peter

[sensethis]

Peter,

Maybe a little b No. You came to see me for the chunin exams. It'd be selfish to think you only came to Uzushio for that reason all the time.

Karin

[lostmarauder]

Karin,

I would have been happier if that had been my reason.

Peter

[sensethis]

Peter,

Miss me that much?

Karin

[lostmarauder]

I worry that things will make it so I won't be able to see you.

Peter

...with the right journal this time.

[sensethis]

I know there's rumors of things happening in the other countries. But until there's anything official, being all glass half empty is going to do you or I any good. But if you're worried shouldn't we try to see each other more rather than less?

Karin

[lostmarauder]

I come as much as I can, but there's only so much I can do.

I cannot take the extra risks.

Peter

[sensethis]

I know that. I know it won't be easy like beore. But I don't need you protecting me if that's what you're worried about and you should know that better than anyone.

[lostmarauder]

I know a lot of things. Please don't be offended by that.

Peter

[sensethis]

I'm not offended, I'm annoyed. There's a difference.

[lostmarauder]

Just be safe. Please.

Peter

[sensethis]

I always keep safe. But you have to do the same.

[lostmarauder]

You don't need to worry about me. I'm not in danger.

[sensethis]

You say that like I am.

[lostmarauder]

Just be careful, okay? I'll write more to you later.

[sensethis]

I will.
