"You could be stuffy. Stuffy people hate messes." Naruto took his place on one of the bar stools, reaching out to pick Itoshii up to place her in front of the bowl and watching her intently until she drank from it. A bit of resistance, though. Probably because she was in a new place and mommy was still gone. Truthfully, Naruto was feeling the same. He pet her behind the ears and brought the bowl closer help her feel more familiar, even going so far as letting her lick a few drops off his fingers. He sighed in relief when she finally began to drink.
Admittedly, he wasn't very hungry. Not enough to even snoop. Tenten missing had been a huge strain on him and after deciding that he had no means to get her back without a little help he had no other choice but to come to the one person he knew he could depend on for situations like this. No matter the awkward BS they'd been putting each other through or the lack of confidence he had when he walked through the front door, Neji would be there for him.
That aside he wasn't about to treat the man's home like his own. Not yet. Things were not the same and he needed to sort out why before he became too familiar again.
"I haven't seen you around," he began awkwardly, hopeful that Neji didn't come back to stare at him again anytime soon. "Any longer and I might've forgotten your face."
