Bikki's sensei, Koichi, is a jonin who's got a knack for ninjutsu. He's a good teacher, and not afraid to defer to others when he can't keep up with a student. He's encouraging and effortlessly cool, and Rera hates his guts.

It's kind of childish, she'll make food for all of Bikki's teammates when they return from a mission except him. He's 'accidentally' knocked over a cup of her coffee more than once. They never got along well to begin with but her precious little brother thinking that his sensei was cooler than his older sister was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"No way, I never would've guessed! If it's not your cup of tea, no judging, but dating can be fun, if you do it responsibly. I guess."

"Confident in teaching, yes. In dating? Not so much. I've never really felt the need to go on a date."

[kcgarashi]

"Kind of ya to say, Iruka-san. I'm sure you're confident in your own way, you're certainly a lot more competent. In general, at least."

"You're a much braver soul than I am when it comes to that Rera-san. Definitely more confident."

[kcgarashi]

"Oh, the guys are bad. The ladies are bad. Everyone's bad. You're right, don't try it."

"Oh I didn't mean from your end. I just assumed that some of the guys you reeled in were probably not...great dates."

[kcgarashi]

"Iruka-san, what kind of woman do you take me for? I let them get to know me so they can decide to not have a second date."

"I guess. I'm guessing none of them got a second date out of it?"

[kcgarashi]

"Not at all! It's like fishing, you throw out a line and if someone bites you get to eat."

"It sounds like a lot of work just to get free dinner."

[kcgarashi]

"Then I'd never get a date. And I'd have to buy my own dinner."

"You've made me feel sad. You should raise your standards."

[kcgarashi]

""Of course it has. It's called a 'pity date', Iruka-san."

"Rera-san. Has that line ever worked?"

[kcgarashi]

"Looks like you've dropped something there...oh! It's your standards!"

"Can I buy you a drink?"

[kcgarashi]

there are so many random shitty tidbits about rera i never mention because i don't know how to but the weirdest is that she is not trained to bring the people she tracks back alive and i feel like that explains nothing and a lot of things simultaneously

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO KINDNESS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what are you doing?

i can handle that myself, you know.

you didn't have to go out of your way to take care of me.

i'm not used to this. this caring thing.

thank you. don't ever do that again.

i thought you hated me, to be honest.

i didn't ask you to love me!

no one's ever actually just... sat down and listened to me.

i didn't think people like you existed.

is this normal for you? going out of your way like this?

i told you i had it handled. you didn't have to bother.

i... should probably thank you for that.

i don't know what to say. this has never happened before.

wait, that's mine. you fixed it?

you did all of this... for me?

that was the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

i'm kinda at a loss for words.

i wasn't expecting this from you.

you did all this for me?

i had it under control.

when did this happen?

how long were you planning this?

i'm not sure what to say. i'm not used to this.

i owe you one.

that was... very kind of you. thank you.

i'm just not used to people going out of their way to help me.

usually people just look the other way, but you actually care.

this is weird. is this what caring about someone feels like?

i could have handled it.

this must have taken you forever to arrange. and you did it all for me?

it would be easier in the long run if we went our separate ways.

i hate being in other peoples' debts.

i didn't want this to happen.

people around me don't last very long.

i feel like i'm screaming and screaming and no one hears me.

i'm in your debt.

how did you find that? i lost that ages ago.

you actually... listened to me?

no one's ever paid attention.

no one's ever put that much time in effort into something for me.

when did i say that?

i didn't ask you to care about me!

i'm easily missed. people don't pay attention to me.

i'm invisible most of the time.

it's easier for people to look the other way.

do you do this often? help people?

i'm surprised you're still here.

if you're expecting something in return, forget about it.

you came back?

why do you care about me so much?

i'm a lost cause. you should just forget about me.

what's the use? there's no point.

i don't even celebrate my birthday. no one cares.

you can't just make someone care about you.

i thought you left.

what is it about me that has you so worked up?

you're making a big deal out of nothing.

thanks for patching me up.

you... brought this here for me?

but i didn't ask for this! i didn't ask for any of this!

stop smiling at me like that.

[kcgarashi]

[kcgarashi]

"It's not that bad, honestly."

Actually, that's very much a lie, it is that bad. No. It's worse. The dark-haired teacher can't quite feel her fingers. But she'll be damned if she admits that out loud. Rera's always insisted that she's a woman of cold weather, any particularly hot summer will inevitably end with her getting a little sunburnt. Usually, she's a little better in the cold.

Alas, today's not one of those days.

But Matarera is nothing if not incredibly stubborn, she's the one that's supposed to take care of those younger than her, right? Will of Fire and all that.

Though she's not entirely sure if this should count as one as those occasions, she still shakes her head.

"You don't have to be respectful and look after your elders, ya know, Shikamaru? I'm not that old."

Emerges from a giant pile of paperwork.

"Surprise. Bet you thought you'd seen the last of me."
