Yeah, it was. I feel like I should apologize for the fact that I haven't been able to keep track on any information lately... even though I promised to keep you informed.
No, don't apologize. With everything that's happened, I think we've got a good idea of their movements as it is, no need to risk yourself. But... thanks.
Well, I'll still try to keep my eyes and ears open. I still have a few contacts in the organization so I might be able to find out what's going on from time to time.
[Though he can't contact them too often, but still... it's something.]
It's okay, Ren-san. I can handle it, really. [Taking on the protection of the whole ninja group as her responsibility...?] You just focus on taking care of yourself, okay? I don't know if there's many people who can say they were able to get out of Team Rocket, after all.
Try not to burn yourself out in the process, okay? I will try my best to stay out of trouble... I kind of like the moments when they aren't lurking in the shadows.

She's...

Someone important in our village. She leads it, in the future.

Protective, yeah. When she paints a huge target on our backs.

I wish there was something I could do to help you out.

[A shrug. She's sure she can handle it!]
But you've given me all this information; is there anything I can do for you, Ren-san?
ACTION | March 21
Don't worry about it. Just being able to help is enough for me.
ACTION | March 21
You know, you're pretty cool. Just don't go being too selfless like that, okay?
ACTION | March 21
ACTION | March 21
I'll see you around, then. I've got some people I have to talk to about this chip stuff. Thanks. Again.
