Eeeeee kisses! "That's good, would've been kinda awkward otherwise."

Kisses! "Very."

"No, not very, just kinda. I'm good with awkward."

"I'm not. At all."

"Well, didn't need to be in the end, so that's a win." Kissss!

Kisses! "Everything since coming here's just been - so amazing. I can't even be nervous about the future. We're going to do so much good the worlds won't know what's hit them."

She giggles. "But first we need to deal with a stolen jewel or two."

"And find out what's up with Reim! Though if my life has prepared me for anything, it's liberating stolen goods."

"Yeah, I suppose it has."

"You'd think it'd have prepared me better for talking to people, but apparently there's not much even the best infiltration training can do to overcome having all the social graces of a snail."

"You're not that awkward!"

"You haven't seen me trying to lie properly! I can do minor lies I've thought about ahead of time, like giving a fake name, but I get horribly tongue-tied with anything complex. I also get really exhausted chatting with most people - not you, you're a wonderful exception, though I still need some time alone to fully relax and recharge - which isn't really a good trait to have when spying... And you didn't know me as a kid, I was absolutely horrid."

"...great, now I have a picture of small you running around and she must've been so adorable."

"I was a massive brat. In terms of awkwardness, my - not getting words out properly thing - was way worse, I've actually had to work on it a lot. Usually I'd just kind of melt every time I tripped over my tongue, though once when I was super little I bit a teacher after she kept misinterpreting everything I tried to say."

She starts giggling helplessly.

"She told me I should've been born an Inuzuka - they work alongside nin-dogs - and I said that'd be better than looking at her stupid face, which I'm impressed I managed to get out. I got in so much trouble, but for a bit I was the popular kid in the clan. All the kids hated her."

Yep. Lots of giggling.

Tetsuma breaks down into giggles, too. "The punishment wasn't even that bad, all things considered. Mostly just extra chores. My father was actually impressed I managed to bite her - I was pretty fast even then, but she was a retired kunoichi - which was kinda awesome, he's hard to impress."

"You are the most adorable thing in the universe."

Eee! She blushes and pecks her girlfriend on the cheek. Teasingly, "Just the universe? So there's someone more adorable in another universe, is what you're saying?"

"Multiverse!"

Kiss! "Well you're the most beautiful, wonderful person in all of space and time."

"Ah but which space and time?"

"All space and time everywhere, in every possible dimension, obviously."

"Obviously."
