[ Sakura sits at the bar, nursing a bottle of sake. She's alone, but she doesn't really mind it or the pathology it implies. She's had a bad few days... months... years... ]

And life.

[ Kanpai. ]

[verysunny]

[Life too, yes.

Takes a sip of her drink. Yes, this is much better than that bitter beer someone had bought her. Probably Kiba, only to steal it back.

She fiddles a bit with her glass.]

If you don't mind me asking, why are you sitting here alone? It seems like everyone is here so--

[ Sakura smiles sheepishly. ]

On a scale from one to ten, the Ino-Kiba-Naruto trifecta is an eleven -- on a good day, sober. Sometimes I just need a little break.

[verysunny]

[Well, she could understand Kiba but Naruto and Ino she didn't know quite as well and fff how could anybody need a break from Naruto?

She turns a bit to watch them, smiling softly.]

It's nice to watch from the distance too, isn't it? [Hinata knew all about that.]

I wish I could have that much energy.

[sweet_oleander]

[ Sakura watches Hinata watch them. How much simpler -- better -- would her life have been if she could have just fallen in love with Naruto?

Although Hinata probably doesn't think that way at the moment, because Naruto is unfortunately a clueless moron. ]

Sometimes the view from a distance is perfect.

Mm.

[Heartfelt agreement while she watches the three leadership personsas of the rookies.]
