[This is so much to process, excuse the delay.]

I see.

From what you've explained, I understand better now. It was wrong of me to question that person — I was just surprised.

[And also on the defensive for being asked personal questions by Embry, who is not a straightforward man.]

I won't ask anything else if you don't want me to... but were those partners also... pregnant, by you?

sweetheart there are probably a lot of kinks thatt are going to make you go 'what the actual fuck' and that's a pretty normal first reaction to have at times. the important thing is just making sure that ppl feel validated and not shamed for them bc that can fuck ppl up inside.

and i never mind questions from u

sometimes pregnant sometimes post-pregnant, kinda depends. and yea.

intimacy thing for me. u know how that gets me all riled up.

[open apology letter to embry for the slut- and kink-shaming (it will happen again)]

You're right. I would have reacted badly to it, that first time, if I had received a negative reaction.

Is it strange that there are some kinks I wouldn't have considered if not for you? I don't mean that you've influenced me, but... I doubt I would enjoy them with someone else.

well, luckily you were in good hands.

and no, not strange. you're from basically the most weirdly sexless world i've ever heard of, it stands to reason that the introduction to certain kinks would only pique your interest bc im hot AF let's fuckin' gooooo

('sexless' in the sense of 'no fun sex' and not 'zero sex at all' ftr)

also that's adorable and i'm very touched

You are attractive, but that was only part of it.

Is my world really that unique in the area of sex compared to others you've known?

uncommonly charming, that too.

and no, i was exaggerating. it's not entirely out of the norm esp. with kinda repressed societies. add in war or religion and yea.

Uncommonly self-confident.

Would you go back with me? To my own world.

Not to stay. I just want to show it to you, outside of genjutsu.

arrogant is fewer letters 😜

yea i'd absolutely go and see konoha w/you

I don't think you're arrogant.

... If we ever do go, I'll have to conceal you from others. Is that okay?

that's bc u know me now 😌😌

conceal how?

not against it just wondering what it would entail.

Nothing complex. I just mean that I wouldn't take you to meet anyone, and I'd try to ensure no one sees you. Stealth.

I don't want you to become a target.

i've been a target more than once.

obvs i don't want to endanger anyone in your home, but i'd like to meet the people you know if i can.

i'm not against hiding, but it would have to be for your sake, not mine.

I don't know how they would react to you. You're obviously not a shinobi — your energy is different. Anyone I introduce you to would be able to tell immediately, and then they'd have questions. You might be able to pass as a civilian for a little while. You must be practiced at visiting worlds.

If there's someone I would take you to meet, it would be Sakura, my former teammate. She was with me in the previous dimension I visited, so if she remembers then she'll understand. Otherwise there is Kakashi, my former sensei. When I last left he was the village leader — Hokage. I trust him.

Naruto... It could go badly.

can you feel my energy when i'm not actively using it?

sakura and kakashi, okkay.

badly for whom?

No. But there are people who are more sensitive than me. Konoha has shinobi for that purpose as a security measure. Kakashi may be able to help, given his position in the village.

I'm not worried about you. Naruto... overreacts, when it comes to me. When I left the village to pursue Itachi, he hunted me down and never gave up. I told you that I — was in love with him. That was because of how he treated me. I don't believe he feels the same, not the way I did, but there's something.

love is complicated, and it can have many forms.

i get it.

if there was a chance he felt the same way would you want me to back off?

No. Never. I already made my decision to be with you.

[hello I mate for LIFE]

But if I introduce him to you, he'll think you're taking me away again. He might get angry at you. So... I'll talk to him myself.
