Psyber (253) has posed:
    When Haruno had announced Psyber's rudeness and then announced she was going out, Psyber had become fairly concerned. Mostly because that wasn't the reaction he usually expected out of her. Which meant that from wherever he was in the office, Psyber was at least trying to make his way into the residential gathering area to cut Haruno off before she could either get to the elevator or climb out a window and jump off.

    "Wait!" Psyber blurted loudly, coming out of an elevator from the lobby, hoping he had caught the ninja in time, "Hold up!" Hopefully he wasn't too late and she hadn't left.

Sakura Haruno (134) has posed:
    Of course, he might have been a bit too late even with that - she has a portal to Spring in her bedroom, after all, and even with her blatently obvious clothing and hair she might be hard to find there. Luckily for him, she'd wanted to grab a drink first, and so she's digging in the fridge as he charges off the elevator.

    She'll look up as he starts screaming, though, taking a bottle of water out and closing the door. She's not even certain he's looking for her, of course, so she just looks a bit hesitant.

Psyber (253) has posed:
    "Oh good, you're not gone yet," Psyber says, heaving a sigh of relief on that working out for him, at least. He looks towards her and says, "Did I really upset you that much, Sakura?" He asks, looking genuinely surprised at her preparing to leave like that.

    "I really didn't mean it, I thought that was just our thing. You always give me a hassle, I figured you didn't mind a little hassle back," He frowns a bit, clearly not sure how to process it. He really didn't expect to cause her to storm out.

Sakura Haruno (134) has posed:
    "Is it so bad to want to get some alone time and fresh air, then?" Sakura asks, a bit defensively, having clearly been touchy and upset about things. At the same time, of course, he probably hadn't meant to hurt her with it. But Sakura doesn't even admit to having been hurt, and she'll continue to glance away and not quite meet eyes.

Psyber (253) has posed:
    "No, that's not the part that worries me," Psyber says, looking to her and certainly noticing she's avoiding his gaze, "But when it's because of something I said or did, something that really used to be okay between us, I don't have to be a genius to tell something's up," He places his hands in his pockets and steps towards her a little, not getting too close, but still just making a gesture of approach, "So what's up?"

Sakura Haruno (134) has posed:
    "Mmph. It's just not very polite to pick on a girl's fashion sense, you know." Sakura says, with a gesture. "Especially when you're picking on how she dresses in her downtime in her own home." Which, of course, is the office, but that's not something she's about to give ground on, looking vaguely irritated about being pursued on the matter...

Psyber (253) has posed:
    "True enough. Don't pick on a girl's fashion sense. Fair rule, and I'm truly sorry that I did that," Psyber says, conceding the point to her. But she also doesn't get off scott-free, "But how come you can pick on me about how I run this business, then?" He asks seriously, looking to her with those red eyes, "I can take it when it's my stupid risks, or getting injured, or trusting someone I shouldn't. But I treasure this business and what it stands for."

Sakura Haruno (134) has posed:
    "You mean giving her keys to the place?" Sakura says, uncertain of precisely what he's refering to. "And I'm not the one escalating this. You can't even let me just go off to get some quiet time after I get upset over something stupid?" She asks, knowing that she shouldn't be as irritated as she was by it and tacitly admitting to that.

Psyber (253) has posed:
    "Because that's what family is. You don't let someone go off and be upset when it's your fault they are," Psyber says, shrugging a bit. He pointedly does not address the first part, instead keeping his hands in his pockets and himself right on what he wants to convey, "Whoever is right or wrong, I'm still gonna worry because I upset someone who I have been very close to for a long time. So yeah, I'm worried. It's stupid of me."

Sakura Haruno (134) has posed:
    "Well, let me go sulk and try to pull myself together and not be upset any more. Pushing more on me is probably not going to help, you know." Sakura says, gesturing again with her drink in hand, feeling rather worse about having worked him up. "There's nothing to worry about. I'm just not always the most suitable to be around, I'm afraid."

Psyber (253) has posed:
    "Alright, alright," Psyber says with a sigh, "Just woulda kicked myself if it was a permanent moveout."

    The half-angel steps back and away, showing he's not gonna stop her, "I hope you enjoy your trip to Spring. I'll save you some dinner in the oven."

Sakura Haruno (134) has posed:
    "I wouldn't move out over this. Maybe over feeling like I'm going to be murdered in my sleep sometime, but not over this." Sakura says, with a sigh.

    She won't otherwise reply, though, heading back towards her room, taking a swig from the bottle of water as she heads off that way.

Psyber (253) has posed:
    "I would never let that happen," Psyber says pretty firmly as she starts heading back to her room. Of course, it's probably not TOO much reassurance to someone as cautious as Haruno, but he means it. And he won't stop her on her way back.
