[Locked to Minato, Kushina, and Rin]

Whenever you are free, I would like very much to speak to you about a personal, private, and important matter. It does not have to be the three of you together, just at your convenience, but as soon as is possible.

Thank you!

Usually things like that only make me feel worse about things actually. Better to pretend to other people than to myself.

[morningpeacock]

[ Sadly, he understands. ]

It is not pretending, though! Your positive attitude will put you more at ease! It is reassuring! You need to work on reassuring yourself!

[lostmarauder]

If you ever met me in person you'd understand.

But no, I'm getting exactly what I need to do what I need to do already, thank you.

[morningpeacock]

I think you are selling yourself short, Pettigrew-san!

A little extra reassurance does not hurt.

[lostmarauder]

I think you're not grasping my meaning Maito-san, but that's okay, you'll either see me in person someday or not.

What are you reassuring yourself for?

[morningpeacock]

Perhaps you could better explain?

[ He is busting at the seams to tell someone because right now only Kakashi knows and Gai would love to have someone to talk to about it! ...But he doesn't know you. And he knows that some groups took the rumors seriously and... ]

A personal matter. An important discussion. I have never been good with discussions; I am a person of action, so this is a bit out of my element.

[lostmarauder]

I'm not giving me secrets about me if you're not giving any back, so no.

Not being yourself is obviously not helping your nerves though.

[morningpeacock]

Fair enough.


But there is a. way. these. things. are. done.

And I am going to do this right. Because everything this is, everything it means, and everyone involved in it, deserves that. So I will take the steps necessary.

If I do it right, that betters the chances of my outcome, too! Undoubtedly!!

[lostmarauder]

You make it sound like you're planning a whole huge event with a lot of people.

You didn't strike me as the type somehow.

[morningpeacock]

Now who is making assumptions about someone they do not know, Pettigrew-san! ^_^

What did I strike you as?

[lostmarauder]

Someone direct. My mistake.

So it is a big event you're planning that has you anxious then?

[morningpeacock]

I Your assumption was correct!

It is a traditional event. One that has rules!

[lostmarauder]

So you're very traditional then?

I'll keep that in mind for any future dealings.

[morningpeacock]

NO!

But

BUT

BUT

I do not really have any excuse. No one involved is very traditional. I just thought. There were ways these things should be done. It is not as if I have done this before!

[lostmarauder]

Then I really don't understand why you're stressing yourself out about it to the point that you're throwing messages at strangers on the scrolls.

[morningpeacock]

Throwing messages--?!?!!

IT WAS A NICE POSITIVE THOUGHT!

YOU ARE A PARTY-POOPER.

[lostmarauder]

I'm actually in a great mood right now. I was a little irritated earlier but I like puzzles.

[morningpeacock]

WHAT PUZZLES?! THERE ARE NO PUZZLES HERE!

[lostmarauder]

I wasn't aware that you were a simpleton with nothing to offer. I'm so sorry to have misconstrued the converstion so.

[morningpeacock]

I AM NOT A SIMPLETON!
I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW, ONE DOES NOT BECOME A JOUNIN IF THEY ARE A SIMPLETON!

I HAVE PLENTY TO OFFER!
NOT THAT I AM OFFERING ANY OF IT TO YOU--
BUT I AM CERTAINLY NOT A SIMPLETON!!!

[lostmarauder]

In that case, there are plenty of puzzles, aren't there?

[morningpeacock]

Yes?

Yes! I am full of puzzles.

Not that I share those puzzles, however!

[lostmarauder]

If you say you're not, then I'm sure you have reason to say so.

[morningpeacock]

Of course I have reason to say so. A ninja always has reasons for his secrets. Being a ninja is reason enough!

[lostmarauder]

So your purpose to becoming a ninja was to have secrets?

Interesting tactic.
