105th Box [Voice]

[playwitchu]

*The communicator turns on to transmit the voice of a young sounding boy. Those who have met the boy before would know the voice right away, others... Not so really~*

Hrm.... What is this? This place is so boring. So tell me~ How long was I asleep?

*A small pause.*

Eald'narche~ I wanna meet you.

*Another pause.*

What is there to eat?

[ Naja listens very carefully to the post, eyes narrowing and ears laying flat against her skull. It's obvious she doesn't like this; her tail is even twitching. ]

So. Yer sayin' this guy means trrrouble, I take it. What're ya tellin' this to me

[Minato nods slowly.]

And it's just a matter of time before he tries to attack them. Likely at night while they're asleep.

["In Latimir" goes unsaid.]

... It'll only become sooner if we visibly react to his presence. So... any increase in guard must be done carefully.

[He's fully in Hokage mode. No smiles here. He regards the communicator with a slight frown on his face.]

[ Naja presses her lips in a firm line, barely letting a growl escape. The last thing she needs is this kind of trouble in her building. This is going to be difficult. ]

...I've got a differrrent idea, Minato. If this guy is as dangerous as ya say, then reacting at all could pose dangers. I'm not going to risk putting all of my tenants at risk just because of a few turtles' arch enemy comin' to hunt 'em down.

[ She turns around, rubbing her chin. She begins speaking with utmost experience, without even realizing it.

This situation is certainly familiar to her. ]

If you guys weren't so helpful, I'd have ya sent out firrrst thing. However, that ain't gonna solve the prrroblem either way. Reacting at all to this guy, actin' out of the ordinary in any way could tip 'im off that his little frrriends are right here in the buildin'. No...we'll need to do somethin' a bit...differrrent.

[Minato relaxes more than a little. He was only giving that suggestion because he was worried Naja would heighten the guard too quickly.]

Good. Not reacting is the best plan--I was just worried you wouldn't accept that idea.

You have something further in mind?

[Minato has ideas of his own, but... he wants to hear yours, first.]

[ Naja faces Minato with an expression she's only ever worn once, and with the most serious tone of voice she's ever used. ]

I've been in this situation before, Minato...with the Empres herself as a fugitive and her brother hunting her down like a coeurl after a rharab. This ain't gonna be easy.

Here's what we're gonna do, pal. We're not going to react to this at all. It'll do either of two things this way: make him think it's a trrrap, or make him think he's got nothin' to look for and send 'im elsewhere. We risk him comin' in too easy, but for that we're gonna warn the guards to keep a close eye out for anyone that looks like 'im. If he decides to show up they'll contact me rrright away and I'll keep an eye on 'im myself. Donatello's little prrroject should help me out with that.

We clear? Or do you have a better idea?

[Minato crosses his arms and listens.]

No, that's pretty much exactly my idea. [Little grin.] You really have been in this situation, before. ... The Empress was in good hands.

[ Naja stiffens a bit more, regarding Minato with respect. ]

I admit, this ain't exactly like housin' a kid in my office...more like four kids in a building where I can't keep an eye on 'em.

I'm glad you agrrree. I'm countin' on everyone to keep this place safe. You make sure the guards are informed; tell 'em I sent ya. I'll work with Donny and get that security system up and rrrunnin'.

Don't let me down, Minato.

[Minato nods and gives her a relaxed salute.]

You can count on me, Naja-san. I'll let them know. And believe me, I know how it is with those boys. Always getting into trouble....

A security system? [Minato blinks, then grins.] I think you mean more than just traps, don't you?

[/to action!]

[najawantsgold.livejournal.com]

I feel like I've gone frrrom single to mother of four overnight...

Heheh. You can ask Donny all about the system. He should prrrobably be workin' on it now if he ain't prrreoccupied.

Tell me about it.

I think I will. It makes him happy to go into detailed explanations.
