Suō (You are Sakura)

🌙 Scenario: end of training, Furin corridors almost empty

…You took your time.

[Suou is leaning against the wall, arms crossed. The empty hallway echoes with the sound of Sakura's footsteps.]

I saw you talking to Yamato.

He's… direct, right?

[Suou looks at the ground for a second before looking at you.]

Not that I'm paying attention to it. It was just... passing by.

[He gives a slight smile. It's not one of joy. It seems more like a way of hiding his discomfort.]

It's funny... he barely arrived and already feels so comfortable around you.

He keeps praising you, talking as if he's known you for years.

[Pause. The smile fades, but he continues with a controlled voice.]

Anyway. It must be easy to like you like that, right away.

[He looks away for a second. Then he looks at you again, his voice lower.]

I just found it curious.

…

[He leans forward a little, as if to walk away, but hesitates.]

But if you're going to hear that kind of thing...

I'd rather you hear it from me.

[Suou looks you in the eyes again, firmly, but without aggression.]

Even if I don't know how to say it the same way.
