[ Closed - In Progress | And I can see this unraveling ]
Who: Tenten and Neji
What: Tenten wants answers. Whether Neji gives them to her is up to him. But at least there's dinner~
When: The Wednesday after Naruto's... interesting party
Where: Neji's place
Warning(s): ...We'll see.

All evening, it had been an ongoing debate: to head home after her shift was over and clean up all the grime that came with school and work, or to simply head straight there. Because it had been days since the party and the fight that eventually broke out. And that had been plenty of time for Tenten to form a million and one questions since then. Naruto had said nothing to her as of yet. And she knew better than to ask. Because if the blond had not made an attempt to explain anything by then, he was not going to any time soon. If ever.

Tenten felt a little pang of... something -- what, she was not sure, but it was definitely unfavorable -- at the thought. After all that the two of them had been through. After everything they had faced. For him to keep anything from her, even if it was something trivial and unimportant... it hurt. Would hurt more if it actually was something profound.

And just as quickly as the thought formed, the young girl shook it away. There was no reason for her to think such a thing. After all, people fought over little matters every day. Naruto, it seemed, got into fights almost constantly since the day they had met. So it was nothing out of the ordinary... right?

"Only one way to find out," she muttered softly to herself as she turned the corner onto Neji's street. Ultimately, Tenten had settled on at least making herself presentable before taking the subway to the Hyuuga's neighborhood. He was offering her dinner after all. It was the least she could do. And with that thought, the familiar shape of Neji's door came into view. A door which she found herself standing in front of after only a few quick steps. And now faced with the moment of truth, Tenten paused for just a brief instance before lifting her hand to the wood.

Knock, knock.

Considering the fight itself and the charged emotions surrounding Naruto and Neji, it was difficult to give a positive answer to that question. Because much of Tenten's own contentment resided in the happiness of her friends. And when two of them were battling it out against each other... well, it made for a very upset young woman. But Tenten was not ready to bring that topic up for discussion just yet. Not when it felt like it would bring the night to a crashing halt.

The food smelled wonderful. Neji finally had time to spare to focus on their friendship. Even if those reasons were under false pretenses. She would enjoy her evening with Neji for a little while longer.

"Good, for the most part, thank you for asking," was all she said, and promptly took a seat in the nearest placement setting. Her things had already been discarded at the couch. There would be no need of them during dinner. Having them with her would only tempt Tenten into fidgeting to still her anticipation. "And you? Did you have a lot of explaining to do with the agency?"
