[He stared at her for a moment, then finally, the look of wide eyed shock eased and he dipped his head.]

I don't know why we were made siblings for those memories... but... even if they're not real, you were a wonderful sister that I was lucky to have. I wish I'd met you before, at any point.

[fervidity]

[They're touching words and he reminds her why she came here in the first place.

Sometimes, bad things happen to people and they make mistakes. That's the sort of thing, she's seeing right now with Nagato.

Her hand settles gently on his shoulder. To show she feels the same.]

Well, we've met now. So we can make the most of it here.

[teachingpeace]

[That drew his gaze back to her, a smile coming to his lips as he took a deep breath, inclining his head gravely.]

You're right, of course. There is nothing to do but move forward. I hope that some day we can be truly close.

[fervidity]

[Like a brother and sister. She returns the smile a little, but not the sentiment since she's still not sure how to feel.

At least she can offer her ear and maybe he'll change her mind.]

I should get going. I've got a couple of boys to feed.

... Thanks for talking to me, Nagato.

[teachingpeace]

[The smile faltered a little, then he gave a sharp nod.]

Of course, Kushina. I shouldn't keep you...

But feel free to come back any time.

[fervidity]

[She stands from the couch and then moves to the door pull her shoes back on, pausing at pulling it open.]

I'll come back. I don't know when but I will. Okay?

But could you tell Konan I said hi?

[teachingpeace]

[He got to his feet, suddenly awkward as he watched her prepare to leave... so all he did was nod, giving her a lopsided smile.]

Of course. Then... I guess I'll see you.

[fervidity]

Thanks.

[Here, is one more genuine. But pretty lopsided, too.]

See you.

[And she's off!]
