Hey book--or I guess people listening to the book?

... It's kinda weird talkin' to a book like this.

ANYWAYS, ahahah, I was just wonderin' when this prank is gonna be over? The whole thing about there not bein' any ramen stands around? I guess I could kinda see how that would be funny for like... five minutes, but it's really turned into somethin' cruel! So somebody just tell me where the damn ramen is, y'know?

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? I haven't ate in days...!

[And the option for action for the Charming Murderess or anybody walking along the docks really. There's a blond ninja in tattered clothing crawling on the pier looking pitiful.]

Then build a fire -- [He starts, and then stops abruptly at that last jab.

The rage is instinctive and immediate, because doing nothing, after the month they had before Naruto arrived, after the month before that one, after dealing with Itachi and then Itachi mind-controlled -- after all that, it drives uncomfortably close to home.

They've done a lot, but in between are the stretches when they are doing nothing. When there's nothing to do, no matter how much information he gathers -- when all his questions dead-end into irrelevance. Doing nothing --]

You want me to do something? Waste another minute of my time and I'll show you what I can do.

[Oh Sasuke, so much rage. You really need to learn to chill out or smoke some ninja reefer or something like that.

Naruto, knowing Sasuke better than anybody, can immediately see the moment where his anger starts to boil over. That's sort of the exact thing he was looking for because he thought all these preparations were going to go to waste if Sasuke just kept blowing him off. It takes some time to setup a substitution jutsu with a pot of water!]

You want me to count it off since I don't have a clock? 1-2-3-4-5-6-7--

[Are you offering ninja reefer, Naruto.

Is the idiot actually counting? For the first fifteen seconds it is truly incredibly tempting -- if he sets Naruto on fire just a little the damn nuisance can probably put himself out before he manages to set anything else on fire -- but if Sasuke really thinks about the behaviour he's witnessed just now and in the past few days, he doesn't trust that likelihood. If Naruto grew any brain cells in there, the sea breeze seems to have killed them all.

So instead he reaches out and grabs the front of Naruto's jacket at around the 30-second mark, fully intent on bodily dragging him into the kitchen so he can act like the grown shinobi he is and learn how to boil his own water.]

[Yes, he's actually counting. Is it getting under your skin? Erk, apparently it is!

Naruto grunts loudly as he gets grabbed.]

Hey, watch it! This is the only jacket I got and it's already falling apart, asshole!

[You know, considering it was shredded up thanks to that big war thing.]

[He's been getting under Sasuke's skin, and the counting is the last straw. With a firm fistful of stupid orange jacket, Sasuke heads toward the hatch down to the kitchen, completely disregarding the ragged state of the thing.]

You only have yourself to blame.

[His voice is thoroughly annoyed as he kicks the door open and continues dragging down the narrow stairs.]

[Naruto, of course, has only one choice and that's to stumble along after Sasuke. He also thinks he hears the jacket tear a little more, making him whine some as they head to the kitchen. Down the stairs they go with Naruto grunting and making sure he doesn't trip and send the both of them downwards.]

I'll just steal some of your clothes then.

[Naruto in that stupidass open Orochimaru shirt.]

[Sasuke also thinks he hears the jacket tear, which he counts as a victory. It's an eyesore and maybe Naruto will be forced to buy something not orange from Margie. Good outcomes.]

You'll have to steal them off my body.

[The only time Sasuke's been parted from his clothes is to wash them. He's had to concede a point to the other Malfoy by now; their crew doesn't smell daisy-fresh after a long time at sea, and he's not an exception.

They're doing better while docked, though, and in the meantime he kicks the door to the kitchen open in turn and half-shoves, half-throws Naruto at the water cask and points at the pots and stove.]

There. Feed yourself.
