Night fall. Lee was looking forward to it actually. It would be then that he would execute his escape from this place. Then after he returned from the war, he would break all his new acquaintances out. After all, priorities. It was best to leave Sasuke in a contained place, as well, if he could manage it.

Keeping Sasuke in the dark about the war was a tricky situation. Lee didn't want to reveal Konoha's plans or secrets, but if he had been here for a while and wasn't up-to-date on the the sides in the war... maybe it wouldn't hurt to tell him. Lee hadn't seen hide nor hair of the Uchiha since he had left Konoha years ago, and the last he had heard was next to nothing, save that Sasuke was missing. Big surprise there. If something had come up concerning the Uchiha, unless Lee had been selected for a mission connected to him then he probably wouldn't hear anything.

For all he knew, though, Sasuke was keeping out of the war. And in that case...

"I do not see any harm in that trade-off." Lee sat where he had stood. He needed to eat, after all, and that was something he could do while explaining and still keep his eyes on Sasuke at the same time.
