GAARA-KUSOKHIFHILKFLIFILEFIEF

[OKAY HE'LL SWITCH TO VIDEO. A teary Lee face is looking into the feed.]

Gaara-kun!!! Is that really and truly you?! Are you alive?!

Ah-! Another miracle of youth!!

[It takes Gaara a second to figure out how to accept the video chat invitation, but once he does he's immediately relieved. Struggling with this fucking thing has just been the crap cherry on the shit sundae that is this whole ordeal.]

Yes. I'm- ...alive. [Still doesn't want to admit that everyone else is dead. Not Temari. Not Kankuro. He's been feeling so little like a commander or Kage since he arrived and more and more like some dumb kid who doesn't know anything and lost his family and people. IT SUCKS. To put it mildly.]

How did you find me on this?

Edited 2015-04-24 02:12 (UTC)

[Oh man Gaara you need your friends to shounen up your attitude, they're not dead they're just temporarily not alive! It's a totes different difference.]

Ah... That is not important! Lessons of technology can wait for another day!

You're alive!! [He cheers.] That is the important part, Gaara-kun? Where are you- are you well? Have you seen anyone?!

[right you'd think the guy who was briefly not alive before becoming alive again would be able to grasp so simple a concept]

I- no. You're the first person I've seen. [Well, from home. Otherwise he's seen lots of people.] I'm in a residential district. [Calm. Control. You are a Kage. Act like it.] I've been attempting to gather intel. [ive been freaking out alone by myself and debating whether or not i should bother trying to eat or if maybe i should just stare neurotically at strangers until i wake up in a hospital]

...it isn't going well. [I UNDERSTAND JACK SHIT ABOUT THIS PLACE.]

You are?! Ah... I'll find you! [He's in the residential district so maybe it'll work? In fact, he's quickly jumping out the window of his apartment and running along the outer wall as he talks into his CereVice.

Makin' his way downtown]

And I will gladly help you with your Intel!! I'll tell you anything you want to know!

[Gaara's not entirely sure Lee will be able to help much with Gaara understanding what's happening; frequently when they talk (which is regrettably seldom) they end up missing each other by miles, almost like they're speaking different languages.

But that's not the point.

Gaara's nerves, which had been on high alert ever since he opened his eyes in this place, settle. Not just because he knows he has a powerful ally here, but because there's somebody who knows him. Perhaps even finds Gaara's existence necessary, as someone from the same world, a comrade. Gaara lets out a slow breath and stands, climbing out of the window of the building he'd been squatting in (what, so what) and sliding down the sloped roofing to the ground below.

Someone who knows him. That's plenty enough. And Rock Lee is a kind person; a lot kinder to Gaara than he probably deserves.]

I'm outside. [Gaara rattles off a few building names that are hopefully landmarks and crouches down to wait, back against a nearby wall and head bowed as his nerves slowly, slowly settle. This is better. He's fine.]

Oooh! [Rock Lee absorbs all of this information as a green sponge. Many of the names click for him.]

I recognize those locations! Gaara-kun, I am now sure that I know exactly where you are! I will be there in five minutes... no, one minute!!

[With a renewed determination and a set destination, Lee puts on a burst of speed as he keeps running along buildings, set on narrowing in on Gaara's location and feeling blindly assured that he'll be able to help Gaara with all of his problems.]

[God. Lee. He doesn't need an ETA you can just...run here.

And though he doesn't respond to that promise, the moment Lee leaps from a nearby rooftop into the street, Gaara stands and shoulders his sand gourd.] Rock Lee, [is his greeting, and he doesn't know for sure but the relief in his voice might be obvious.]

[But he had to issue a challenge!! And it looks like he may have accomplished it. He hits the ground running as he heads straight towards Gaara with a smile on his face. He does manage to skid to a halt several feet away.]

Gaara-kun! I... I'm so happy to see you! [Everyone from their world who shows up in this world is another gallon of hope for him.]

...yeah. [Gaara tries not to be so moved by that declaration and fails miserably.]

Then it's true, what they told me. [But it can't be. They can't be dead if there's still a chance of saving them, right?]

[Rock Lee frets for a moment as he thinks of what that was; the apparent destruction of their own world. And he gives a soft nod.]

Er... From what I have been able to tell... It seems that they have indeed been telling the truth.

But... [Lee's face has gone too many seconds without smiling, so he picks up a light optimistic one.] Naruto-kun is here, too! So I know it's only a matter of time until he gets us all back home!

[Lee confirms what Gaara was both terrified of and hoping for, and he pretends like his heart isn't about to pound right out of his chest.]

Uzumaki. Is there anyone else?

[Naruto, the beacon of shounen hope! Lee gives a light nod.]

Yes.. Sakura-san is here as well, and Sai-kun just arrived recently. Those are all the people I know of from our world...

[Just the four of them...not enough to protect Naruto if Akatsuki were to show up. That is, if they'd still be after him here, but it's not good to assume they wouldn't be.

Still, they're all very formidable. And maybe there's someone Gaara can talk to regarding the recovery of the Akatsuki, namely how to keep it from ever happening ever.

Even beyond that...that's too few. But these surroundings couldn't support their entire population- what did they tell him? That they could restore their worlds provided he cooperate? Hm.]

...Lee. Thank you. [For the info. And maybe also for being so happy to see him.]

[omg those guys are so several hundred chapters ago, get with the times man

Lee himself nods and looks pleased to have done something that earned his gratitude.]

You are very welcome, Gaara-kun. Is there anything else you like to know? Please ask me!! I'll answer anything. Ah... Did you receive any interesting job offers? [Lee finally takes a breath.]

[It occurs to Gaara then that if he's got no more business with Lee, then Lee will probably leave. He likely has other places to be, no doubt has made a truly ridiculous amount of friends here already.

So Gaara wordlessly offers the list of employment opportunities over for Lee to peruse. None of them say "ninja president" or "cactus enthusiast" so honestly he's at a loss.]
