IF YOU ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT CRUSHING ANTS BENEATH YOUR FEET
Daisuke's brow tensed, arms crossed before his chest with a drawn out breath. He'd hum softly at the Raikage's words, the corners of his mouth twisted downward ever so slightly before the young sage would tilt his head and meet the woman's gaze.
There was a period of silence before Daisuke would speak. He'd calm himself down, the woman's statement plainly indicating he had overreacted. She was right, of course. He tended to do that when he heard things he didn't agree with, but more often than not it was a simple show of defiance than outward disobedience. The chuunin would allow his brow to ease, though it remained lightly furrowed as he'd gather his thoughts.
According to her, the job being offered was for much more than just signing paperwork as he might have assumed. In truth, though, Daisuke didn't have a full grasp on what being the Kage's assistant would entail. Koume, a friend of his from Kusagakure, served as the Lord's assistant, but they didn't really speak much about what she did exactly, other than essentially whatever the man asked her to do. Within reason, of course.
The question began to echo in his mind, though. Her words plastered over his thoughts before his eyes narrowed.
"Fine.”
Daisuke finally said, although somewhat reluctantly.
"I'll take the job. I'm sure Don'yokuna would ruin me if I told him I turned down the offer.”
His pouting face would soon turn once more to his familiar, prideful smirk as he plopped down into the seat across from the Raikage's desk. The more he thought about it, actually, the more he sort of liked the idea of working hands on with her. He and Oba-san got along fairly well for the most part, despite them only really interacting the once before this. She was, however, very purposeful. Her words and actions always seemed to speak on exactly what she meant, with no room for misinterpretation. She was smart, and she had to be a damn fine kunoichi to get the position she now held, and that in and of itself was nothing to laugh at. Not only that, but she was quite patient. Something anyone who would deal with the young sage on a regular basis would need. Plus, despite her age, she was at least easy on the eyes.
"So, I suppose it's Oba-kage now, hm?” Daisuke said with a small chuckle. "Honestly, I think this should be fun, eh? Maybe we can share a couple drinks on the long work nights. And maybe even... Now? Celebrate our new partnership?” The sage smirked, easing himself into the cushion of the chair he now sat in, arms still crossed over his chest, and that little smirk that made you know you either love him or hate him.
THEN YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO WALK
