Re: [video] [Kisame knows the value of silence. As talkative as he is, his friendship with Itachi, if nothing else, has taught him that. It's taught him how to go hours in companionable silence, or even days, if need be. It's taught him that there needs to be space to think, and to speak, to process and evaluate, to plan and create. He knows the magic there, the power, the necessity--and that's why he lets the silence blanket them, thick and comfortable and unbroken, for quite a few minutes as he watches Riku.]
[He's quieter once he does speak up again, smile subdued but almost fond.]
You said it yourself, didn't you? Your world was a small but bright one. A prison only because you didn't know any better.
