The courtyard was still fairly empty when Sai was led out to it. He didn't know why his nurse continually insisted that it didn't look like he received enough fresh air and sunshine. He'd had plenty of that back in Konoha. He supposed it had something to do with the pale complexion, he supposed. He had done a fair amount of work at night. At least she hadn't rubbed him down with suntan lotion this time around. The oil had kept rubbing off on everything before.

Gin's figure was somewhat familiar to him as he caught sight of it across the lawn. It was mostly for that reason that he found himself gravitating in that direction. They'd only talked once before (and hadn't it been under similar circumstances?) but Sai recognized him as a possible ally of Sasukes, and he might be worth addressing again in the off chance that they spoken since he'd been separated from the Uchiha.

If nothing else, they shared a similar smile. "Ichimaru-san," he said in greeting as he approached.
