Maki listened as he spoke, smiling at his words. She sighed contentedly and got up, "Alright then. Tomo's sounds good. But..." She pointed her finger at him, "You're not going like<em>that</em>, are you?"<br/><br/>"You're off duty, aren't you?" She reached up, putting a hand on his shoulder. Tashi was taller than she was now, it made her smile to see her student all grown up. She wondered what Jun and Lilly were up to.<br/><br/>She clicked her tongue, "Date?" She chuckled, shaking her head. She hadn't been on a date in a long time... not since their teams met. No, it was irresponsible of them, of Maki and Keiji to arrange their little encounters together like that, at least with his team so eager to measure themselves against rival shinobi.<br/><br/>Her face turned very somber. She<em>did</em>miss him, but it wasn't Tashi's fault that they had to call it off. It wasn't anyone's, really. There was just too much bad blood broiling up between Suna and Tani. Everyone's talking about war, too.<br/><br/>Maki offered a weak smile, "I'll get dressed."
