Neji resisted the urge to sigh, clearly unable to get out of the conversation they were about to have. He knew without asking what it was Lee wanted to talk about, because it was the same thing he had been trying very hard not to think about- much less discuss. But the simple summation of everything spilling out suddenly wasn't how he'd expected the conversation to start.

Neji blinked, simple surprise keeping him from alarm, and frowned. "It doesn't have to be an issue, Lee. Just forget it, and we'll be fine."
