[voice; April 7th, mid morning]

[Some people have probably already expected something untoward when the ever-present and sparkling Gai-sensei didn't show up to morning practice as he normally does. Since it's still fairly early, Kakashi's absence probably didn't go quite as easily noticed. However, as the one who lived with the two of them, it's up to Obito to be the bearer of bad news.

For a moment, he just sits in silence. Then, once he seems to have gathered himself so that he won't burst into tears during the delivery of at least the initial message, he begins to speak. His words are almost monotone, completely controlled. Very unlike him.]

For anyone interested, both Maito Gai and Hatake Kakashi seem to have returned home. That is all.

[Short and simple.]

Filtered to Team Gai:

[But he makes one last post to a private filter for Gai's team. He's a little less formal here, though he still sounds a bit monotone.]

Um, there's a bunch of little turtles left that Gai was taking care of. Do you guys want 'em?

((ooc: Lee is getting a few (or all of them if Tenten and Neji don't want them.))

Wait, GAI'S gone?

[Geez BREW, you sure knew how to be a jerk with who you sent home, didn't you?]

... Well, I guess they can go take care of whatever it is they need to do back home now, right?

sorry I'm a month and a half late ;n; /is fail

[thatkindofscum]

Yeah, they're in a war right now so... It's probably better he's taking care of that.

[Obito has a little bit of a smile in his voice.]

Maybe when that's done with, they'll come back to help with this one again.

It's alright

[scatterflower]

[Chika frowns a bit, before forcing a smile.]

Maybe. But you're right. A lot of people here have things lke that to take care of back home too...

You alright?

thankies ;u;

[thatkindofscum]

Yeah... They were both pretty busy, from the sound of it.

... [Obito is quiet a moment, then he shrugs.] I'll be okay, after a while. Might just call in to work today and see what needs to be packed up or given away or... you know, that kind of stuff.

[scatterflower]

Yeah...

[She knows what it's like for people that you care about to go home, after all.]

If you ever want to talk, let me know, okay?

[thatkindofscum]

Sure... okay. Though, I'm not sure what I'd talk about. They were my friends, and now they're gone. They might come back, they might not.

[scatterflower]

You know. Just about anything.

[She's trying to be nice here, Obito. This really isn't like what she remembers of you.]

[thatkindofscum]

[Sorry Chika. He's had a rough time of it, losing the only two people from home he remembers and also knows are still alive.]

Okay... I'll think about it.

I've got some tea left behind by Gai. We could also drink some and chat about things...

[scatterflower]

[She nods.]

Just let me know when if you need to talk, and I'll try to be right over.

[thatkindofscum]

[He manages a very small smile. It's hard to not feel somewhat moved when someone else takes such interest in him.]

Mn, thanks Chika-san. I'll definitely let you know. And... I appreciate that you'd offer.

[scatterflower]

Don't mention it, Obito-san.

[She knows what it's like to lose people from back home, after all.]
