"They're boring. Mom's all folded up inside, like she used to be bigger. Dad's really strict and mostly pays attention to our brother because we're not geniuses."

"Hmm." Does Sasuke have an opinion on them?

He just shrugs. "I don't think they're boring, and I think dad's mostly busy."

Well, they are five. Probably haven't been to the academy yet.

She nods. "I guess I'll meet them tomorrow."

"Probably, yeah."

"Do you- need to sleep?"

"I can stay up."

"Okay. I don't sleep."

"Cool! I wish I didn't have to sleep. Sleeping's boring."

"I mostly spend the extra time reading."

"I would, too. Hisame'd probably spend it getting in trouble."

"You can get in a lot more trouble before anyone notices if most people are sleeping."

"Exactly!" Hisame chirps. "Best trouble-making time."

"But that also makes it good for reading. Fewer interruptions."

"I won't cause any trouble while you're trying to read, then. Promise."

"Very kind."

"I try to be! To people I like, at least."

Elieyha nods. "I don't see any point in being nice to people you don't like."

Sasuke hums. "I don't think it's important to be polite to people but you shouldn't, like, hit them. Or bite them, Hisame."

Hisame giggles.

"Who did you bite?" she asks curiously.

"Most recently or ever?"

"How about chronological order?"

"Well, I apparently bit my mom and Sasuke and Itachi a lot as a baby... That I remember - we went to the park and there was an Inuzuka there and we had a biting contest. Mom was really sorry at the boy's mom but she thought it was funny. Then I bit Itachi 'cause he wouldn't play with us, then I bit Itachi a different time 'cause he picked me up when I didn't want to be picked up. Then I bit that weird kid, Naruto, 'cause he was being annoying, then I bit Itachi again for telling me not to bite people..."

"That's an impressive list. Naruto's another person I know from the future."
