Ano... [Maybe if he were anyone else the question might sit awkwardly in the air- but Naruto has spoken about his friends several times since he's arrived. He keeps finding people who know them and then has to find new ways to explain that they really have known eachother for years- but more than that, he's had to find a way to be comfortable with it himself.
Bolin asks, and Naruto thinks immediately of seeing Sakura-chan and Sasuke teaming up to take on a dragon. He thinks about the easy way they stand around one another, the way they talk and move, comfortable as he's never seen them before. If any part of it is weird, it's probably that. To know he's missing out on something really big.
His expression scrunches thoughtfully and the boat, now securely on its leisurely track, bobs and slows. Around them the the water sloshes and stills.]
Mostly they still seem like the same people'attebayo. They still seem to like the same things. Sakura-chan is still scary when she's mad and she still cares about us a lot, and Sasuke's still a jerk without even trying.
I guess it's just weird to be left behind.
[It's been so long since he's felt that way. Maybe that was the sensation he'd been running from so far.]
You don't have that with any of your friends here huh?
