（ after bones' post, whenever shikamaru returns to his room for the evening he will find a small cloth pouch with a handful of food pills in them on the nightstand. if shikamaru happened to have set any traps in his room — they're still very much active. #s-rankninjathings???
as shinobi, they're both well accustomed to going without, and they both feel the same responsibility to the civilians here. he suspects shikamaru will be far more likely to hand them out to those he deems in need than use them himself, but itachi's intent on making sure the option exists regardless. ）
（ congrats, shikamaru is the first person to personally override itachi's immaculate thought-to-text pipeline, so he gets genuine fucking bafflement. ）

never
as grateful as he is for the gesture, he doesn't find it necessary. ]
Is this the part where I sneak into your room and leave you my ration?
good bc im mad comfy
（ how much do you trust your ninja skills, shikamaru. ）
it is a p comfy inbox ngl
You should take these back.
it's bc i've made a nest here. like an angry crow.
I did not expect you would keep them for yourself. We are shinobi.
（ starvation is the least of all the deaths they may endure, living the life they have. ）
when in reality the only actual crow allowed here is ita-kun
I didn't realize I've become your errand boy.
[ he's teasing. ]
ita-kun is the best crow
（ look, he's learned what shikamaru's teasing looks like, and has now formulated his strategic response.
it's just that he's
rusty at it. ）
ita-kun is the cutiest crow
even though there remains vast room for improvement. ]
You already gave me Ita-kun. I think that's enough.
[ he isn't calling him out for ""-ing too much but he is calling him out for ""-ing too much. ]
oh my god
（ congrats, shikamaru is the first person to personally override itachi's immaculate thought-to-text pipeline, so he gets genuine fucking bafflement. ）
eheheh
You already gave me Ita-kun. [ yeah, he isn't gonna help. itachi will get there on his own, he's sure. ]

There's no need for you to track me on the ship after all.
no subject
I am communicating that I cannot facilitate this attachment on the Ximilia due to the restrictions on our jutsu.
Furthermore, I do not need a crow to track you. It simply makes it easier.
no subject
I'm not going to become attached, so you have nothing to worry about.
And I'm aware. You don't have to state the obvious.
no subject
so there is a long moment. then: ）
If what I have said or done has given you cause to believe I doubt your competency, I apologize.
I am... not accustomed to being openly allied with shinobi from Konoha.

You're going to have to learn, so relax a little.
