soul_campaign | 13 February, afternoon ☯ video

[The feed opens to show a possibly somewhat familiar room, for those that may have seen Hanabi's room at some point. Then it shifts to show Hinata, it may be a little off and focus more on the room, but she's still learning. Her eyes and features may be even recognizable.]

Um, this... Hm. Oh! Um, I-I suppose it is working. [She does her best to smile. This is only slightly weird.]

I...I've seen others do this, so I figured...it might be best to as well. My name is Hyuuga Hinata, and I'm one of the...new arrivals, I suppose. A Weapon, if that is a bit more helpful. Um, though really... My cousin and younger sister are here, and have been a while. Neji and Hanabi. I-I know some of you probably know them, but um... [She worries her lower lip and looks away. This is harder than she thought, and she considers filtering it from them. But she didn't want them to find out she did that either.]

Um, I...I guess I just wanted to thank everyone...who have kept an eye on them. [She knows how difficult they can be at times.] So, um, thank you.

Yeah. You can get a lot of things done when no one is looking at you. [ She'll agree with that hidden sentiment. ]

She's quite a determined little girl. I'm impressed with your sister, Hinata.

She's always been very determined...and she tries her best to do her best. I'm sure she'd be so glad to hear that, too.

Tell her for me, okay? It'll mean more if it comes from you. Especially since you've been absent from her life while she's here.

Are you sure? Because I...I think she'd like to hear it from you, too.

I think she'll need it from you more though. You're her older sister and the future head of the family!

[Her position is still up for debate...]

Um, maybe.. But I think...she needs to hear it from other people, too. So she won't feel like I am just saying it.

[ As if Tenten knows that. Or is that tactful. ]

Then we can say it together! [ can you believe it took Tenten this long to get what Hinata was saying? ]

[Yes. Yes, it's so believable. Like Hinata can even say what she wants half the time.]

All right. I think she might like that.

Fantastic! I know she will! [ Tenten says what she wants all of the time... ]

I think so, too.. She needs to hear that she's doing good more often, I think.

[And Hinata envies that so much.]

How often does she get praise? [ It doesn't seem like it's very often. ]

Uh. [All Hyuuga are in dire need of praise and love.]

Um, I-I don't think it's said to her often.. But shown. [In small smiles, approving nods. Yeah.]

[ Hyuuga cuddling therapy: Now for branch families too! ]

Is it shown in ways she can comprehend and tangibly feel or express? [ Like hugs. Or chocolate. ]

[Um. About that. They're Hyuuga.]

I think so..? It's not...difficult to tell the difference between approval and...disappointment with our father.

[ the hyuga should be on jerry springer sometime... ]

I can't say I've ever seen your father pleased. [ Tenten only thinks he has one facial expression, but she knows Hinata knows more about him than she does. ]

[It would be an hour full of linefacing and ~clan secrets~]

He...has his moments. Especially these days.

[ Is that why the Hyuuga's hair so long? It's full of secrets? ]

Well, I'm glad to hear I'm wrong, Hinata.

[Yep, exactly. The longer it is, the darker the secret.]

Yes, he...he has really changed the past few years.

[ She knew it! ]

I've noticed that. Neji is starting to train with him more. [ She's glad you guys can be a family again. She implies it in a deep, sweet, smile. ]

Yes, he has been. And...he's really been learning quite a bit. We're all...happy.

[At least back home... In their compound. Among their family. In the rest of the world, well...]

I'm glad to hear that, Hinata. It's better late than never, right?

[ And they have a long time to be together. Even longer when the war arc ends and everyone of significance is injured ): ]

Mm, right! [She smiles, somewhat determined. Definitely better late than never, especially with their family.

And oh, how true that is. Bonding times while recovering, y/y?]

[ She shares her smile for a second, unsure of what to say until a thought crosses her mind.

yyyyyy all the way yyyyyyy. ] Hinata, do you think me, you, Lain, Santana and Hanabi should have a girl's day out soon?

[A girl's day out? She, sadly, has little to no idea as to what that would mean.]

Ah, sure! It sounds like it could be fun..

[ Hinata's hesitance and vague response clue Tenten in on this most serious problem! ]

You have no idea what a girl's day is, do you?
