Sakura let go abruptly and started rustling her things around as if in a great haste to leave. Perhaps she had somewhere urgent to go? It did seem that the Konoha-nin were rather closely organised, from what Sasuke could tell by what Kakashi said and their frequent bulletin board messages.
Though their day shifts seemed to be more relaxed, if Sakura's offer to walk around Doyleton again was any indication. Sasuke had to admit that it hadn't been an unsuccessful day, though that had as much to do with the rise of the dead once the sun set as it did with Sakura's company during the day. And for all the use that this map could potentially serve, the fact that the Institute had had managed to use an Uchiha corpse and Sasuke had allowed it --
Used Itachi's corpse --
Sasuke forcibly shook the memory out of mind. "I'll find you if it's convenient," he answered shortly, just before the sound of the door.
And now to meet Aidou and his third. Another topic that had been stalled by the discovery of the elders' lies and Konohagakure's ignorant complicity. There was something surreal, almost inappropriate, about simply continuing with the map, exploring the basement, alliance with Konoha-nin, anything that had existed before learning the truth -- but there wasn't a choice, not here. There were no new beginnings anyway; what Sasuke had, now, was less a beginning than a completion.
So for now there was nothing to do but continue. Sasuke picked up the silver sword that had been moved aside in order for them to examine the map, balanced his own in his right hand, and stepped out into the hallway.
