Nightfall approaches quickly. They set up a campsite beside a small lake and unload their gear.
It takes them moments; they never weigh themselves down with unnecessary belongings. Thankfully they stop for rest. Suigetsu isn't going to complain. He's exhausted and whining only expends useful energy. The only thing that crosses his mind is whether a body of water was something Sasuke factored into the decision for the swordsman's benefit, or for strategical advantage.
The Uchiha's softer than he lets on… in his opinion. But this is coming from him; anyone just shy of murderous has a doughy centre.
Ever watchful of his team (paying attention to three is much more difficult than only ever looking out for himself, for his brother) Suigetsu takes the first night watch, preferring to perch on a large rock outcropping over the inky water. Wearing a solemn expression, he remains alert, but finds himself reminiscing.
'Why do you continue to follow me?'
Every so often, it's asked. Every so often, he replies.
Selfish gain, maybe. He never really entertains himself with the question. He didn't care before. He has a solid footing in this team of four — his goals seem to tread closer with each passing day. With them, he feels anything is possible. His dream isn't just a dream now, it's something attainable, something so close he can taste it.
He doesn't know what Sasuke intends to do, but in a moment of realization, Suigetsu decides that it's not his place to care. It's his place to help. He's needed; he knows this and it empowers him.
To think the great Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru's greatest achievement, was asking for his skills. It feeds his ego, makes him tilt his head back, lips curling into a broad, razor-sharp smirk, violet eyes bright in reflection of the moon on the surface of the water.
