[Wow!! It's just better to look at her than it is anything less interesting in this whole room!
He actually very nearly smiles again in that enigmatic way of his, and to dodge it, he promptly turns around again to fiddle with the setting gel. He is fond of children, so he also enjoys it when other people are considerate of children too.]
( she doesn't really want to touch on the anger that drove her, the way she looked at the system that had been in place almost since the village's founding and saw all the flaws and the cracks in its foundation, something she'd never had the capacity to recognize as a child.
but someone else should have seen it. someone else should have noticed, in all those years, that the way they helped children with their traumas... it just wasn't enough. so while the clinic is driven by her desire to help, her passion for it comes more than just a little from rage. )
But there's still a lot of work left to be done...
[That quiet, but not awkward, silence comes to him again. He watches her, still feeling a little fond at the notion. He really does think the best way to heal a society is to start with the children in it.
Not a completely perfect or singular method, but a decent one.]
That may be so, but what you've already done is commendable. I'm sure they appreciate you.
( she just!! loves her work!! so much!! gosh. how lucky she is, to be able to make that difference. her driving force has always been the desire not to have children grow up the way naruto and sasuke did, alone and wounded so deeply by it that by the time they were grown the healing was harder. it's too early to know if she's really making that difference or not, but... she has hope. even if she can't get back to konoha, ino is still there.
but that's a dark path, and leads to darker thoughts, so she just shakes her head. with the plasma properly dehydrated, now it's down to whatever it is he's doing with his strange little hand-held computer. )
